Although not mentioned in the dispatch. it is

Framework Of Skyscrapers
Fast Becoming Corroded.
MUST SOON COME DOWN
STATEMENT OF GEN. WILLIAM
SOOY SMITH.
He Says Those Frames Not Imbedded
in Concrete Will Not
Last.

CHICAGO, March 15.-"The steel frame
work In many Of the big buildings in the
business district Of Chicago is corroding,
making them very dangerous. It is only a
question of few years when these build
ings will fall to the ground"
This statement was made by Gen. VIM.
Sooy Smith at the thirtyfifth annual din
ner of the Chicago real estate board. He
added: THAT the steel framework Of some
of the skyscrapers is in the condition stated
is nothing short Of a public outrage
The speaker explained that his statements
were based on personal observations and in
vestigations.
''The steel framework imbedded in con-
crete will last 1900 years." he said. But
the steel framework in many of the big
buildings Is left free to the action OF the
air and gases which circulate through the
tile and space about the steel.
1.-THE owners of these structures have the
steel painted with oil. This oil will with
stand the corroding process about three
years. Then begins the corroding Of the
steel, and within few years your sky
scraper will fall
The speaker said that the elevated road
structures would not withstand the corro-
sion. He asserted that within ten years
they will be dangerous and within twenty
years out of service. The corrosion of one
fifth of the thickness of the steel frame
work of the structures, he said, will render
them incapable of bearing their own
weight.

Secretary of War for the reports Of GER
tain army officers who examined into the
transport service between San Francisco
and Manila, with the recommendation that
q substitute be adopted which calls for the
facts relative to this transport service in
stead of the reports.
Mr.. Parker explained that reports were
necessarily confidential and contained In
many cases freely expressed opinions which
1t might be unwise to make public All
Congress desired or was entitled to, he
said. was the facts
Mr.. Richardson said that while he would
have preferred the reports called for In his
original resolution, he would be satisfied
with the substitute IL 1t elected the facts,
as he was assured II would. He was the
more disposed to accept the substitute as
the Senate already had adopted a resolu-
tion almost Identical with that introduced
by him. II Congress got the facts relative
to the transport service. he said, he believ-
ed the country would receive a chapter Of
very interesting reading. The resolution
was adopted without division.
The House then went into committee OF

Mr.. Charles w. Slater, representing the

He secured the enrolment of his name as a

tee.
The regular democratic central commit

facts against Mr.. Norris are fully present.
ed to all members of the committee at it's
next meeting and we are perfectly satisfied
that when the committee gets the facts
before them Mr.. Norris will be very
promptly shown the door never to return.
The following official letter of protest
from the secretary of the democratic CEN
trai Committee of the District of Columbia.
was filed with the chairman of the con-
gressional committee last night, but did
not get before the committee:
WASHINGTON d. c., March a. 1902.
To the Chairman and Members Of the Dem
ocratic Congressional COMMITTEES:
In behalf Of the regular democratic CEN
tral committee of the District of Colombia,
l hereby protest against the seating of MIR.
James l.. Norris as member of the demo-
cratic congressional committee to represent
the District of Columbia.
MIR. Norris was overwhelmingly defeated
at the last regular democratic primaries in
the District in 1900, and he was removed
from the democratic national committee
by a majority vote of the regular demo-
cratic convention at Kansas City in July
1900
1nasmuch Mr. Norris was found to be
not proper man for membership on the
national committee, we protest that he is
also unfit for member of the national con-
gressional committee; and we earnestly
request that your committee, in the iuter-
est of harmony. select some good demo-
crat not identified with either the Norris
or anti-Norris faction in the District for
the position, as his appointment would
work great injury to the interests of the
democratic party, both in the District and
elsewhere. Respectfully yours.

Secretary Democratic Central Committee
