PRESIDENT INGALLS, ON SILYER.
Free Metal Would Canse Panic More S.
we're Than Any Previous One.

NEW YORK, June 26.-M II. ingalls,,
the president OF the big -Four" and
Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. who
represents the Vanderbilt interests in the
West, has written TO the Chamber OF
Commerce on the silver question as FOL
lows:
Behind this cry for free coinage OF
silver are parties owning silver mines,
cfanks, men who are involved By ord
their means. who hope for some miracu-
lous way Of paying their debts. and a
large ana honest following. who believe
that there is not gold enough 20 20
around. and that. to protect the debtor
class. we must have silver. The real
danger from free silver Is I'm the fact
that IL will drive gold out OF circulation
and produce such a contraction that
will Immediately cause panic more
severe than any We have had.
"The law OF 1915. about which there Is
such an outcry, was but putting into a

back to free silver. II would be going

commercial world has settled that gold Is
better for conducting it's business than
silver and no Law OF Congress or anything
else can change it
We hear IL said. I know. everywhere.
that We require moro circulating medium
and that there is not enough OF gold TO
go around. People forget that less and
less gold IL required each year to do the
business of the country. England has
been upon a gold basis since 1916 and her
commerce has increased more than that
of any other country. They also forget
that the production Of gold is largely
increasing. For 1894 It's production Is
estimated 10 be Si77o0O.0D. This is more
than the combined production OF gold
and silver in the period from 1880 10

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Building Resula lions.

Yesterday afternoon, as stated in The
Star. the building commission. which con-
sists of Messrs. Appleton P. Clarke. jr.,
James G. Hill. Robert l. Fleming, Daniel
Curry and the inspector of buildings, met in
the office Of the latter and for nearly two
hours discussed the new building regula-
tons. full description of which was pub
lished some days ago in The Star.
Owing to the fact that each member of
the commission desired to acquaint himself
with the existing regulations as we'll as
those recommended. 1t was decided to have
the new regulations printed in order that
each member of the commission might have
q copy to consider. 1t was also decided to
send copies of the new regulations to the
prominent rchtects and builders Of the
city in ora that their views might be OBJ
tanned; also that the public generally be
invited to submit suggestions. which viii
be received by Mr. Appleton p Clarke, jr.,
the secretary of the commission.
One important matter was determined at
Yesterdays session. A regulation was sub
mitted covering the responsibility of an
owner of property much above grade, which,
falling. would injure the adjacent house.
For instance. two men own lots adjoining
each other that are, say, twenty-five or
thirty feet above grade. One concludes to
build and grades his lot to the street. The
bank afterward falls. damaging the build
ing. The question was. where should the
responsibility be placed? An opinion from
the attorney for the District was submitted
in which he held that the owner who failed
to bring his ground to grade was respon-
sible. After some discussion on the subject
it was decided that the matter was not
properly a building regulation. and 1t was
thrown out. Another important regulation
has been added to those already printed in
The Star, to the effect that If after due
notice from the office of the inspector of
buildings an owner refuses to remove a
dangerous building or wall the former
may call upon the fire department and have
the same Immediately taken down.

COLD IN THE NORTHWEST.
A Heavy Snow Storm Strikes the City
of Chicago.


CHICAGO, November 19.-Many people in
this section and west of here have been for
many days calling loudly for a change in
the weather. They found 1t when they
arose this morning.
Snow began falling heavily in the far
northwest yesterday, and, chased along by
cold wave and high wind, came to this
section in hurry.
Last evening gave no particular promise
of winter. and even at 3 o'clock this morn
ing a mild rain was falling. Soon after
that hour, however. the cold wind changed
coming down since. The streets are COW
cred with over three inches of mixed mud
and snow; street traffic in the city is ham,
pered and pedestrians are having a terrible
time
Telegraph and telephone wires are COW
cred with a mass of SluSh and swollen to
four times their usual size. AS a result
of this storm Geographic communication
with the northwest and many points west
IS seriously interrupted, wires having been
broken, and, in some places, poles pulled
down by the strain
Trains are delayed on several roads west
and north, where the storm had been most
unexpected, and of such a nature as to
render the pulling of heavy loads very
difficult.
On the Manitoba limo zero weather is
reported. 1t is rapidly moving south and
east. and at the present rate will extend
over the entire upper lake region, the up
per Mississippi and lower Ohio and Mis-
souri, valleys during the next twenty-four
hours.

Supreme Court Decision and

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

NEW YORK November 19.-The resump-
ton of gold shipments and the revival of
apprehension in both the London and
Paris markets encouraged professional
selliI movement in the local market this
morning, which detracted materially from
the initial estimate of values. The local
representatives of foreign houses were
among the early sellers of the international
issues, but the bulk of the days business
was confined to the room.
The engagement of one and three-quar-
tiers millions in gold for shipment by to-
Inorrow'S steamers reflects the unsatisfac-
tory condition Of the market for foreign ex-
change. rates ruling firm at the seasons

continues to be in excess of the recent
average, bit the demand from remitters
has increased beyond the proportion of in
crease in the receipts of commercial draw
inss. circumstance to which the advanc-
cd rates are directly attributable. This de-
mand is not likely to be significantly re-
duced during the balance Of the year, and
increased exports of our commodities are
necessary condition precedent to a declin-
ing exchange market
Yesterdays decision in the Supreme Court
relative to the contest of the Union Pa
cihc's Geographic privileges was further
utilized in depressing the price Of Western
Union, decline of IL per cent following
a liberal selling of stock for both accounts.
AS the Western Union Company enters into
the competition upon at least an equal
footing with rival companies, it does not
follow that the making of satisfactory con-
tracts for the future enjoyment of tele-
graphic facilities is impossibility.
The Granger shares sold down from ID TO
81 per cent on realizing sales, and a mod
crate extension of the short interest. Nash
vile declined under selling by London and
traders, and sales by the latter alone mark
ed down the price of Manhattan.

club.
The defense, in answer, said that they
would show that johnson was not i'll the
waste saloon, where the crime IS said to have
been perpetrated. Six witnesses have been
examined who testified to the finding and
Identification of the body. and the physicians
who held The post norton testified that
they found bruises upon the murdered man :
head. caused by some blunt instrument.
