The building, which have already

that time workmen have been engaged
in placing in the machinery which has
been specially instructed for the

works will have very large capacity
and largo number of hands will be
employed, most of whom will come

FIRST EDITION.
A SUIT THAT FAILED,
The Charge Against Harlan Cause
OF Buflding Frame Houses Not
SuAfaineh

The Charge Against Harlan Cause
OF Building Frame Houses MOI
Sustained.
Harlan Cause, q well-known builder.
was before the Mayor this morning on a
cnarge OF constructing some cottage
houses al Delaware Avenue and Madi-
son street in violation of the ordinance
against the erection of frame houses
within certain limits. The charge was
preferred by Street Commissioner Louis
L. Lynch, who was the first witness
called. He said he received complaints
In relation to these houses and went out
to Inspect them. He found the first
story OF brick and the second story of
frame work partially sheathed. He
deemed the buildings in that shape to
be In violation Of the ordinance and ac-
cordlngly preferred the charge against
Mr.. Cause.
George Adele, Chairman of the City
Council Street Committee, said his al.
tention was called 10 the houses by
Councilman VIM. McMenamin, where
upon he directed the Street Commits
sloner to look into the matter. He did
not examine the houses until this NOR
ming, when he saw that the frame por-
ton was TO be slated.
For the defense, Benz. Nields, E.o.,
who represented Mr.. Cause, first called
the architect, Edward l.. Rice, Jr. Mr..
Riee said he had learned, by computa-
tioD, that In one of these houses there
was but 2e5 80 cubic feet of studding
and sheathing, and 4,093.31 cubic feet
OF brick work, or 1856 times more brick
than combusllble material. With brick
work between tht studding, as was in-
tended, there would be 10 times more.
In the second story alone is Eve times
as much brick as wood york. He said
the frame work was to be covered with
slate, and that this style of building was
now the prevailing style of architecture.
In his opinion such building was as
secure against fire as the majority of
brick buildings.
This opinion was concurred in by
Edwin Ialiey, MI. Causes foreman,
AID by John y. JohnsoH, Frank Simp-
son and Arckee 5. Reed, well.kuown
builders.
Councilman McMepamin, who ar
rived late, was called Tor the city, and
said when he saw the build .nss lie
thought tie second stories were 10 be OF
frame, and SO complained of them. His
opinion was, after learning OF the build
er's inteutions that sucu a building
would be reasonably secure against fire,
except from the inside.
The Mayor said he thought these
buildings, as Mr.. Cause proposed TO con-
struct them, were no more In violation
OF the frame building ordinance than
houses with iuansard roofs were. He
therefore dismissed the case.
