JAPAN'S PRINCE
To Have a Magnificent Palace, De-
signed and Constructed by Ameri
cans AN Unique Conception.

CHICAGO, November 19.-Chicago
engineers are designing the earthquake
proof steel palace for the Crown Prince
of Japan, which is to mark the advent
of American steel construction in the
Mikado's land, and the imperial gov
eminent has appropriated $4,000, 900 for
its erection. Foundations are being
laid with a view to rearing the frame
work in February. Around the skele-
ton of beams and bars will be built a
house of granite and marble expected
to eclipse in beauty of design anything
the Orient has ever known. The pal
ace will adjoin the royal home Of the
Mikado in Toxic, and it will spread to
extreme dimensions CT 27o by 400 feet,
rising to a height of 60 feet. The ar
chitectural plans partake of the French
Renaissance.
Dr. T. Katyhama, chief architect of
the imperial household department Of
Japan, who came to America to let
contracts for the new palace, has COM
manded E. c.. and R. M. Shankland. of
Chicago, who designed the construc-
ton of the manufacturers building at
the Worlds Fair, to prepare frame
work plans.
Still another Chicago engineer, Chas.

M. Wilkes, was called upon to map out
an elaborate heating and ventilating
plant. In addition to these, American
brains will also contribute an ice manu-
featuring and electric light system.
Steel construction, with it's rigid
elasticity, is expected to revolutionize
the building industry in the Mikado's
land, where earthquakes have on sew
eral occasions played havoc with struc-
lures supposedly solid. The new palace
will rest on 400 deeply anchored steel
columns imbedded in concrete piers, and
the constructing engineers say the
magnificent pile will resist all shocks.
Part of the palace will be devoted to
government Offices.
The steel will be supplied by the Car
negie Company, of Pittsburg.

BELLAIRE.
Budget Of News Items from Our
Belmont County Neighbor.

The people of our city should con-
graduate themselves on the action of
council in awarding the contract for
lighting the city to the new electric
light company. The new company is
not only cheaper than the old, but will
have the latest improved machinery
and the best lamps on the market. 1t
will suffice to say that the lamps used
are the same as used in the city OF
Pittsburg. While the Independent is
still talking and prating over the ac
ton of council, it should be sufficient
for this croaker to remember that the
people voted over two to one for the
new company, and this is the true senti-
ment of the public. Those who oppose
this improvement are the people who
would see our city decay and then be-
wall its conditions.

FATALLY INJURED.
An Accident at the Wheeling Steel
Plant Yard at Benwuod
YESTERDAY MORNING-BRAKE-
MAN ELLIS METZ RUN OVER BY
A TRAIN-HIS BODY WAS BAD
LY CRUSHED AND HE DIED
SEVERAL HOURS LATER-WAS
A RESIDENT OF MMECHEN.

In the yard of the Wheeling steel
plant at Benwood, yesterday morning,
about 1920 o'clock, there was fatal
accident in which the victim was Ellis
Metz, of McMechen, employed by the
company as brakeman.
Mr.. Metz was making a running
switch in the lower end of the yard
and in attempting to jump on his train
while in motion fell to the ground and
was caught under the trucks. The
wheels of two empty cars passed over
his body and he was dragged for dis
lance OF about one hundred feet, before
the train could be stopped. AS result
his right leg and right arm were crush
ed and his left lung was badly injured.
The injured man was taken by his fell
low workmen to the Emergency hospi-
tai, where everything possible in medi-
cal skill was done to alleviate his mis-
cry He maintained consciousness after
the accident and died from the effects
of his injuries about four o'clock in
the afternoon.
Mr.. Metz was twenty-nine years old
and was married. He was brother of
Harry Metz, who is employed as a
Waterman at the B. & o. yards at the
Junction. He was formerly a brake
man on the B. & o. road and accepted
a position as brakeman at the Wheeling
steel plant yard about three weeks ago.
His parents reside at Metz's crossing.
The remains of the unfortunate man
were taken to his home at McMechen
last evening. The arrangements for
the funeral will probably be made to-
day.
