Makes Suggestions to Builders and ~ (Qwmers. Recommends That Fire Curtaing Be Used Tllm_ug_lmuL Not only a fireproof but an earth- | quake proof city can be constructed, says Marsden Manson, former Com- missioner of Works, civil engineer and member of the subcommittee on Burn- ham plans and buildings of the recon- truction committee of forty.- In sup- ort of his view Mr. Manson has sub- itted for the consideration of owners and builders a brief outline of the specifications that should be followed | out the great purpose to build an indestructible city. Engineer Manson made a thorough study of the conditions in Baltimore after the great fire in that city a few years ago, and also of those in San Franctisco since the recent fire and earthquakes. His suggestions were submitted to and approved by Captain John 8. Sewell, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A, and consulting engineer of- the Board of Underwriters, The nécessity for constructing buildings of incom- bustible materials has been made fully apparent. These bulldings must meet all requirements, from the costly and elaborate steel cage, concrete walled and floored structurs, with matal doors, windowe and finlshings, to the cheap steel-framed, shed-coversd and roofed with galvanized iron. To meet these requirements the following classes are suggested: Clats A--Stesl cage construction, concrete brick or tlle walls and floors, metal-framed doors, windows and fin- ishings, plate wire glass windows, as- bestos curtalns inslde, Class A 2—Concrete or brick walls, steel posts concrete or tlle covered, concrete, steel or tlle floors, steel- framed metal-covered roof, fire shut- ters. 6 Class A 3—Relnforced - concrets, steel framed and covered roof. Class A 4—Light metal frame; metal lathing or expanded metal, plastered with cement mortar on one or both sides of frame work; concrete, steel or tile floors; metal rool; metal-framed windows and doors; plate wire glass; asbestos curtains for ilight stores or dwellings, ete. Class A 5—Metal frame, corrugated iron sldes and roof, for sheds and lightest buildings, If more than one story upper floors of steel and concrete or tiles, Class A 8—Any combination of the above classes which are structurally sound. Each of these classes is composed of incombustible materials. They vary In cost from the costly skyscraper to a cheap steel-framed galvanized iron shed, and will thus meet the wide re- quirements of cost, and at the same time afford a reasonable but impera- tive safety.

Shortly before the close of the afternoon session George W. Clark, e car distributor employed by the Penn- sylvania Raflroad Company at Altoona. Pa., admitted that he had received orders * to make speclal dssignments of cars to | the Berwind-White Coal Company. Clark admitted that special allotments had at times to a certaln extent intereferred with an equal distribution of cars. Arthur Hale, superintendent of the Baltimore and Ohlo Raflroad, was on the stand the greater part of the day. Through him was brought out that the Merchants’ Coal Company had frequently recelved cars in excess of its present allotment, while various other companies suffered a shortage. Hale explained that the shortage shown on the records did not indicate that the companies suffered for lack of cars, as in many cases these Companies did not handle their full com- plement of cars.

San .lnaquin_%lley Money Depository Galled fo Explain, In a sensational complaint filed yes- terday in the United States Circuit Court, Balfour, Guthrie & Co. of this city charge the San Joaquin Valley Bank and Robert B. Teefy of Stockton with having fraudulently conspired with Frank E. Lane to cheat the com- plainant out of a large sum of money. The complainant asks that the defend- ants be required to answer certain interrogatories therein duly set forth as to the payment by Lane to them of $207,415 and of other sums claimed by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and their pre- decessor. An accounting is asked for in addition to judgment for that sum with interest. The complaint filed by Charles Page, E. J. McCutchen and W. S. Burnett sets forth that prior to December, 1901, branch of their grain business Stockton, and employed as their agent, with certain limitations, Frank E. Lane, who was not empowered nor authorized to borrow money on their behalf, nor to overdraw their account. with any persons or bank. , It alleges that on November 25, 1905, Lane absconded from the State and that on December 8 of the same year they received a lct- ter from him confessing that he was a defaulter. was received from the defendant bank that the firm's account had been over- drawn by $75,118, It is averred also that between De- cember 4, 1900, and December 6, 1903, the sum of 32,427,270 was deposited in count, and during the same period $2,- 502,380 was drawn out by Lane, and that their losses through. his action amounted to $100,000. It 1s charged further that Lane sent the firm false accounts to cover up his peculations; that he issued fraud- ulent warechouse receipts "In his own name as depositor of the grain; that of $207,415 alleged to have been paid to . the bank on Lane's obligations, $151,821 were overdrawn by checks in favor of ‘the bank; that the payment of the individual promissory notes of Lane to the bank for money loaned by the bank to Lane on his personal ac- count and o his individual obliga- tion out of the firm's money was al frand upon the firm. | Complainants aver further that the! bank fraudulently and knowingly ap-! propriated the sum last mentioned from the firm's account in bank for the purpose of paying what it well knew was the Individual obligation of Lamne! to the bapk by funds which it knew | belonged to complainant and without | any consideration therefor' to Balfour, Guthrie & Co, and without notice to| the firmr or making inquiry as to Lane's authority to do so.

NEW YORK, May 15—~A mining ! camp attired in the clothing of civili- | zation had a session last night in the Bast Myrtle room of the Waldorf As- toria, and in eloquence and vaudeville rang the praises of Nevada. Nearly ecvery man present was a native of a State beyond the Rockies. Malcolm L. MacDonald, who was | born seven miles from Comstock, said he was glad of it, and that the world ! had but a feeble conception of the pos- | sibllities of Southern Nevada. He sald (he would not hesitate to declare that (within the next ten years Nevada would produce at least 25 per cent of | the metal values of the country. San | Francisco would be rebullt in greater glory than any other Western city within the next ten years, and In that period Nevada would have produced | enough mineral wealth to pay for it. C. D, Wrenn, secretary to C. M. Schwab, who owns much Nevada min- | ing property, sald that Schwab on his last visit to Nevada had been skepti- cal as to her development when he en- |tered the State. He went away an enthusiastic boomer. Mr. Wrenn de- clared that more money would be taken out of Nevada In the next few | years than from any State In the Union. Her soil had merely been scratched. Mr. Pittman sald that the object of (the gathering was to persuade New | York to act as an “office” for Nevada ! without the interference of middle- men, particularly San Francisco bro- { Then the red curtains of the. vaude- ville hall adjoining the dining-room parted, and the prospectors, mining | experts and their friends thronged in. ——e i Steamshlp Sinks a Bark.

He sald that he would not mind having a re- public if it was a good one, but that education was necessary first, and it was not an easy task to educate the millions of India. Just at present, the Prince admitted, he himself took the place of a republic. “I make the laws,” said he. “I have the power of life and death. There is a Cabinet, whose advice I take if I choose. ‘Sometimes, if a decree I have issued is wrong and I find its views are based on good grounds, I recon= sider it.” On the somewhat delicate subject of his relations with tha British Govern- ment the Prince proved quite commu- nicative. The British Government, he sald, had the power to interfere, but it did not assume to govern. That, he sald, would be regarded as Interfer- ence. \ “It is lfke an earthen pot in a brass Jar,” he sald. “They travel together, but if you stretch the one you break the other—the weaker one, of:course.” The Prince seemed to be rather amused at the description given by missionaries on conditions in India. Re- ligion, he said, was clearly a matter for the individual consclence. “Our people, just like any other peo- ple,” he said, “want to be let alone on the subject of religion. They hold cer- tain beliefs as sacred and they will not be changed. Their philosophy {s elas- tie. I think we should leave a man's religion to himself, If he lives his life so- that he can dfe at peace with his conscience he should have the right to make a choice of his own way. Re~ ligion to me is a study. It is a school for thought and most interesting.” However, he added that the mission- aries had done a lot of good in found- ing hospitals and teaching people the dignity of labor. l ~ ‘How to Fool a Lazy Liver VERY serlous Sickness has a . with Artificial Exercise —If your tongue is slightly coated, slight small beginning.
