AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
Contemplated in the Butte Build
ing Regulations.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
An Ordinance Proposed Requiring the
Laying of Temporary Floors
While Putting Up Large
Buildings.

An important change is in contempla-
ton in the building regulations Of
Butte, the change having been sug-
gested, 1T is understood, by labor
unions, in order that there may be
greater safety for workmen employed
on big buildings hereafter to be erect
ed i'm Butte. An ordinance providing
for the change is now in the hands Of
the judiciary committee of the city
council, h bill having been introduced
by Alderman Slebenaler. In order to
obviate the possibility of falls from the
upper stories down through the build
ing. it will hereafter be required that
temporary floors be aid.
The bill as proposed is as follows:
Section /. Hereafter IL shall be I'M
lawful for any person or persons, cor
poration or corporations to erect, built
or construct any building or buildings
that are to be more than w stories in
height, to proceed with N story above
the second story unless a temporary or
permanent floor of sufficient strength
to warrant the safety of workmen en-
ployed on said buildings from falling
through; this floor to be laid over the
entire area of said building with the ex-
ception of a place of sufficient size to
hoist all material of said building.
Floor to be laid on each story to the
top section.
Section 2. 1t shall be the duty of
he city building inspector to enforce
this ordinance, and should the said
building inspector openly violate or
otherwise evade or neglect to enforce
this ordinance he shall be deemed guilty
of malfeasance in office and shall be
liable to suspension or removal accord
ingly by the mayor; and if any acci-
dents or damage result from the build
ing inspectors negligence or evasion in
enforcing this ordinance. he. the said
building inspector, and his bondsmen,
shall be jointly liable with the owner
or owners of the building or buildings
where the accident occurred for all
damages, whether they be damages to
person or to property.
Section 3. Any person or persons,
corporation or corporations. violating
any provision of this ordinance shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be
punished by a fine of not less than $50
and shall be liable for all personal in
juries originating through the neglect
or evasion of this ordinance n sus-
tanned by the workmen employed on
said building.
Section 4. Nothing in this ordinance
shall be construed to include contracts
let on buildings commenced previously
to the passage of this ordinance.
Section 5. This ordinance shall be in
full force and effect from and after its
passage and approval"
The great activity in the erection of
big buildings in Butte will make the
placing of the temporary flooring quite
an item hereafter i'm figuring on con
tracts, but if the lives of the workmen
will be safer thereby the change should
and will meet with general approval.

bought Them "A Chanel Tent,

Ex-Governor Richards received a let
ter yesterday from Rolla V. Watt Of
san Francisco, to whom he instrusted
the purchase of a chapel tent for the
LIST Montana regiment, together with
Chaplain Stdll, stating that the tent
and furnishing had been purchased be-
fore the soldiers left and taken along
by Chaplain Stull. The tent is 20 by 80
in dimensions, and with lights, etc,
cost about SllO. OF this amount Gov
ernor Richards succeeded in raising
about SEQ. lie will stand the balance
of the expense himself. The tent will
be used for holding services and will as
well be supplied with such reading
matter as can be obtained and will be
made a sort of headquarters where the
boys can lounge and rest and read in
their idle moments in much greater
comfort in the torrid region they are
bound for, than in their stuffy little
tents.

ARRANGING AN INVASION
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF
OFFICERS AT TAMPA
'She Rumor Revived That the Army
VIII Move in Two Divisions, One
Under the Command of Gen. Wade
News Brought Direct From
the Insurgent Leaders In
Cuba.

for several hours was held today between
Maj. Gen. Shafter, Lieut.. Col. w. H. Lawton
and Capt. J. II. Dorst. Lieut.. Col. Lawo
left Tampa Thursday on the Olivette, going
/, 10 Key West, where he met Admiral Sampson
and, 1t is believed. discussed with the latter
plans which contemplate a concerted move
ment OF the army and navy with the CO.
operation OF the troops of Gen. Gomez
Both Col Lawton and Capt. Dorst arrived
here today, Capt Dorst having been in COM
munication with Gen. Delgado, of the Cuban
insurgents, at a point not far from Havana.
After Gen. Shafter had received the reports
of Col. Lawton and Capt Dorst, Col. Ludlow,
OF the engineer corps, was called in consulta-
ton. Several maps Of the coast lie and In
terror OF Cuba were brought in and examined,
Capt Dorst explaining to Gen. Shafter the
nature OF the country around several places
at which landing is contemplated. The re-
ports of Col. Lawton and Capt. Dorst, together
with the recommendations of Gen. Shafter
will be sent to Washington at once.
The fact that kilograms have been received
here for Gen. j. ]. Coppinger, In command of
the troops at Mobile, has started anew the
report that the Cuban army of invasion will
De in two divisions, the first under Gen. Wade
the second under Gen. Coppnger, and Gen.
Shafter IN command.
