Says Low Bid Was Error Given 30 Days to Act. (Special by Eagle Staff Co'respondent) Albany, Jan. $100.000 mi8take is delaying start of the construction of the new State Arsenal to be erected in South Brooklyn, opposite the Army base. As a result of this mistake the old 47th Regt. Armory on Marcy ave.

must continue to quarter both the 27th Battalion of Engineers and the temporary Arsenal for possibly another year. The Commonwealth Engineering Corporation of 103 Park ave. recently submitted a bid of $689,000 to construct the Arsenal, according to the Adjutant General's office, but after being selected as the successful bidder, reported that a mistake had been made and that the bid should have been $789.000. Adjutant General Westcott said today that this figure was too high and that the Commonwealth Corporation had been given 30 days to take the contract at $689,000 or reject "There'll probably be a rejection and we'll have to advertise for bids all over again," said General Westcott. "Meanwhile the old 47th Regt.

Armory can be used." Whoever contracts to build the new Arsenal must agree to finish construction within nine months' time. There is $1,035,000 available to erect the buttding and equip it. The State does not wish go a cent higher than $750.000 for construction work. The money for the new Arsenal was secured through the sale of the old Arsenal property on 7th Manhattan.

(Special to The Eagle.) Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 22-Between 200 and 300 cars of ore had been removed from the Mascot mine previous to the time that water was encountered, David J.

Cook, who was mine superintendent, testified here in the trial of Charles Peter, mining promoter, in the United States District Court. Cook, a mining man of more than 30 years experience, said that in his opinion the Mascot mine was a favorable prospect and further added that the ore was of a good grade. He told of being present when the strike was made in the face of the tunnel in January, 1922. F. V.

Bodfish, manager of the Alta Tunnel Company, on cross examination, was asked whether he had ever served as an appraiser of the Mascot property during receivership proceedings. He denied that he had served in that capacity. Later, David H. Cannon, special Government prosecutor, showed Bodfish a copy of the appraisal, which the witness declared refreshed his memory and he admitted that he had acted at that time along with W. R.

Calvert. The appraisal was said to have been made in February, 1921. Bodfish testified that he had made several trips to the Hailey district. He said that he regarded the Mascot mine in a favorable light and worthy of being worked. August Johnson, the defense's first witness, Tuesday, declared that six strikes were made at the mine from October, 1915, to August, 1923; but, upon cross examination, he admitted that by strikes he meant any vein of ore that was encountered.

Johnson testified, on cross examination, that he knew of no large ore bodies in the mine in September, 1916, when a letter is alleged to have been sent to stockholders stating that such a discovery had been made.

Gets New High Post (ROBERT RIDG WAY BONUS COMPLAINTS WARRANT BUREAU PROBE, SAYS GIBBS Senator Asserts Legislative Inquiry to Oust Harris or Speed Up Payments Is Likely. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Albany, Jan.

22-Senator Leonard W. H. Gibbs of Erie, before leaving for his home in Buffalo last night, declared that had enough bonus complaints at hand to warrant a legislative investigation of the Bonus Bureau. "I had intended," said Senator Gibbs, "to ask Capt. Frank S.

Harris, bonus director, to call on me in order that I might lay before him the complaints which I have had turned over to me by Capt. C. Hamilton Cook. These complaints are sufficient on their face to warrant an investigation. My idea was to discuss them with Capt.

Harris and, if necessary, follow this up either with a formal legislative investigation or ments. Capt. Harris' absence from legislation designed to speed up pay- Albany, however, necessitates postponement of the matter till next week." Bonus Director Harris is a Democrat, Ever since the Republicans got control of the Bonus Commission there has been talk of replacing him. The Commission met last week but did not discuss the matter. Another meeting is to be held next week at which time the question of continuing Capt.

Harris in office may possibly be taken up. There are numerous candidates for his place. Among them are Dr. Thos. M.

Holmes of Albany, Henry Cookinham of Utica and Maj. Clarence Martin of Oswego. Cookinham is in favor because he was Director of the Bonus under the old law which was declared unconstitutional. PAIR DRIVE MOTOR OF SLAIN MAN HELD FOR QUESTIONING Miami, Jan. 22-A man and wife whose names the police refuse to divulge were questioned late last night in connection with the murder of Morris L.

Simon of Kansas City, whose body was found in underbrush along a. country road near Miami. They drove to police headquarters in the motorcar owned by Simon and voluntarily appeared before the authorities for the purpose, they said, of inquiring about reports that their "friend" had been murdered.

The two lads took yesterday. off from their studies to learn that several years of school and many more years on their shoulders would be required of them before the Police Commissioner would give them a job and a uniform with brass buttons. They were Steve Sandusky, 61 Washington and Mike Whitko, 33 Washington both of Manhattan. way to school yesterday morning, they decided to join the police force at once, and set out for son a Brooklyn.

attack At Henry and Orange late in S. the afternoon, they came -upon Pa- the trolman Joseph Yost of the Poplar st. station, and asked him to take them around to his "boss." The officer at first demurred, but when they told him they were looking for a job he did as they asked. Lieutenant Coleman, at the station house, found that the pair had previously been reported missing, and sent for their parents. Oh, yes.

The lieutenant asked the lads how they came to pick out Brooklyn for their police careers. "We heard that cops in Brooklyn could eat peanuts off the stand for nothing," Steve and Mike said.

ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER By NUNNALLY JOHNSON Hook Now Eclipse Editor of The Eagle; Promises Complete Reports on All Meteoric Phenomena in the Vicinity of Greater New York. Dear Sir: Ag I am not public official, 'my attention has not been called' to your friend Luther Hook.

I had to read about him myself in your column, 'One Word, Ask Her "What want to know, Mr. Johnson, is this: Is Mr. Hook the same who was at one time senior member of the old firm of Hook, Line Sinker? "What business they were in, do not remember, but the one I refer to was later connected with another company under the name of Hook Ladder. "Still later Mr. Hook was in business for himself as head of the firm of Hook I.

"The Hook I have in mind was known as Sandy Hook on account of his glossy black. whiskers, which he wore during the Civil War. Prior to that he was nicknamed Sandy Claus because of his snow-white beard. "I believe that the Hook Nose, the Hook Worm, and the Scotch expression, 'Hook were named for him, and he invented the pastime called playing hookey. "It would be interesting to know if your Mr.

Hook is the same man, and I shall watch your department, Word Leads to An for an answer. "I have looked through all the W's in Who's Whook, but can find I nothing about him. Thanking you, I am very truly yours, N. The last paragraph of N. letter contains reference to an incident concerning mention of which Mr.

Hook is keenly sensitive. To get him to tell about it is very difficult, particularly at this time. Announcement should have been made before this that Mr. Hook is going to cover the eclipse in the Bronx next Saturday and is all worked up over the responsibility. I cover this one adequately," he said, "are you going to let me cover all the eclipses?" "Oui." "Oh, goody, goody!" he exclaimed.

In other words, Mr. Hook now has a steady job. He has been taken on by The Eagle as Eclipse Editor. Every time there is an eclipse, big or little, Mr. Hook will cover it in his way.

This means that he will throw himself into the eclipse and actually live the part. "I want to be in character," he explained. "If it is a big eclipse, I shall wear a big overcoat, symbolizing the total covering of the sonha ha! "But. if it is a small eclipse, I shall cover it just as thoroughly but in an entirely different costume; with complete change of scenery. I shall wear a bib, showing that only a part of the son is covered.

"In this particular case I shall go to 110th st. and Broadway, in pajamas, on account of everybody saying the eclipse is going to make the part of Manhattan very, very dark. I shall sing, 'It Is Getting Darker on Old My pajamas will be lavender and I shall NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

He is that wrapped up in his new job! And, as a matter of fact, that is just the spirit that will some day bring him to the top. The man who does not watch the clock, who does not grumble, who goes to work with a smile on his pan, who gets in on time, and who is enthusiastic about his work, his employers, his fellowemployees, his pay, his hours, his treatment, will get to the top of the heap before he is through. Smile and the world smiles with you. Weep and you weep alone. Ah, but those are true words the poet wrote! After all, the man who can smile, the man who can HO through the day with a smile on his face, while all about him there sadness and gloom and handicaps, while everything is going wrong, as he loses his job, his folks die.

his bank fails, his daughter elopes with a Shriner, his son starts playing on the saxophone--the man who can go through that with a smile on his face is a fat a dumb-bell, an idiot and an imbecile. "The reason I'm not in Who's Whook," Mr. Hook explained with a sigh, "has to do with an incident in 1905, if I do not err on the date. "It was in the late fall of that year that I drew up a notation for Who's Whook. I copy it for your benefit: 'Hook, Luther Tremens, b.
