TO RESTRICT HIGH BUILDINGS.
New York Chamber of Commerce Rec
 concentrations.
SOLD AT.

New York, Feb. 1.-There is a prob ability that the municipal assembly will take up the question of limiting the height of buildings soon. Under the new city charter it was provided that this body could deal with this mat ter and the board of trade and trans pOrtatiOn and the chamber of com merce, with the organizations of a kin dred character, are about to urge upon the assem bly, the necessity of adopting such restrictions as will prevent future sky-scrapers from being a menace to public safety.
 There have been several conferences of late between the members of the board of trade committee and it is probable that when the municipal as sembly is asked to hear the committee the merchants and business men will present the text of an ordinance which has been drafted by a special commit tee consisting of G. Waldo Smith, John H. Washburn, Simon Sterne, Richard Deeves and Charles T. Wills.
 This committee urges that the QueS- ton of restriction should be considered from the standpoint of safety alone and therefore it recommends the enact ment of an ordinance which provides that on the wider streets and avenues OI IHlS C1Iy nO DulIuIuS n6IOdIISF GTSCl- ed shall exceed 200 feet in height, and that no building used as a hotel or apartment house shall exceed 165 feet in height. These measurements shall be from the curb level to the highest point of the cOrnice or roof beams of building. Justly proporticnate 1esser heights should be provided for the erection of structures on the moreover streets and avenues of the city. It is also recommended that in every build ing erected to a height of 137 feet and over there shall be two separate stair ways leading from the ground floor to 'the roof, one of which shall be remote from the elevator shaft. The commit tee further recommends that in all buildings now in existence, or hereaf- ter erected, 137 feet and over in height, there shall be provided and maintained a fuIly-equipped auxiliary fire plant that shall be satisfactory in all re- spects to the fire department of this city.
 The chamber of commerce committee | on insurance has the question under consideration and will report it's con clusions at the next regular meeting of the chamber.

THE LUMBER DUTIES.
Michigan Men Not Likely to Secure a
 Compromise.

/ Washington, Feb. 1.-The delegation of Michigan lumbermen who have come to Washington to suggest to the Anglo-American commission that a duty of S1 a thousand on Canadian timber be agreed upon as a compro- mise in the matter reciprocity, will hardly succeed in their mission.
 Representative Tawney of Mime sota, who was associated with the late Representative Dingley in the cOnsid eration of the lumber question, both in the committee on ways and means, and in the commission. said yesterday that no compromise of that sort would be made.
 These gentlemen" he said, ''aTe owners Of pine stumpage in Canada, now owning nothing in that line in the United States. They want to bring their logs into the United States free, or at the reduced duty and made their fight to this end before the committee on ways and means and were defeated. They have exhausted the timber lands in the United States owned by them under a tariff of S2 and now they want to be permitted to turn around and abandon the tariff for their own bene- fit. Their assertion that if these Can adian logs are not allowed to come in at the reduced rate, 27 mills on the eastern coast of Michigan must be closed has been shown to be false. Some of them doubtless will be closed, but not all or nearly all. My belief is that the Canadians are weakening on the proposition to include timber in the reciprocity scheme. MT Dingley had them whipped in that natter
 MT Tawney confirmed the report that the timber question is the only one remaining to be settled by the commission and that when an agree ment to disagree is reached their work will practically be at end.

Dixon, we understand, admits the steal

knowledge Of the stealing OF the bradEah
horse. the Cough buggy. or the entry l'.tc
the Wilkins house, and We are lDcllned tc
believe that others are doing devllmcEt
about here and Dixan is wearing the blame
Mr. Walter Harvin brought Dixon mere
last Wednesday night and lodged him IL
the jail Supervisor Owens took him the
next day to the gang where be some time
ago escaped from, and where he Will no"
serve ont fifteen months sentence, that IS

before.
The night the Bradhani horse was stolen
the store of Mr.. Risby was broken INTO
also. an; the fact was kept ont OF the paper
by request hoping by keeping quiet the
burglars might be caught easier. Suspl.
cion rested on G:ll Oxen aud others, and
slthough Dixon protested his Innocence OF
that crime, the suit OF clothes he lad Oh
when captured was oae of the stolen suits
from Rigby's store.
The first clew Risby got of his goods Tas
lot of tickets found in ar empty house;
the tickets bore Rlgby's private marks.
This empty house is near the house occa-
pied by Ben Lumpkiu, whose wife is Dix

the possession of the Lump pkins and both
Ben Lumpkia aHd his wife are in Jail,

There is no doubt about it. an organized
gang exists in this town and unless some
thing is done to ria the community of this
gang, murder, fire and robbery will result.
Lock ont on these streets any day and
strong, hale and hearty men are constantly
lettering about; these men dress fairly
well and must live. Now how do they get
their living? They do not work and they
are not men who have incomes from busl-
ness investments, so the natural presump-
ton follows that they steal. How long will
our authorities permit this thing to con-
tinue? Will they wait until some good cit.
izen reddens his hands with the blood OF
these devils or until these fends take the

We are opposed to the people taking the

duties they have sworn to perform. There
is law against vsgrarcy, and the law has
provided chaingang that the town can

so many loafers? Let The council drive
these loafcrs from the street and they will
seek honest bread, but as long as they are
permitted 70 idle away their time hanging
