The Central bowling alleys, at 1909
and 1905 Second avenue, are to be for

ond floor alleys will be in use at the
start, however. the lower floor to be

tiers are roomy. well lighted and well
arranged in every particular, while
the alleys being put in are No. ! in
qunlity and finish, the best, in short,
that can be provided.
As has been stated in previous de-
scriptions of the building there is
room on each of the two floors for
six alleys. For the present, however.
there will be but four on the second
floor. The space for the others is
rather too short and will not be util-

The six alleys on the first floor are
expected to be completed in the next
three weeks. Then the lower floor
will be open to the general public.
while the upper floor will be reserved

Building Credit to the City.

The building, as is generally known,
was planned and begun by the late
Peter Fries. 1t is credit to the city
from both the exterior and interior
point of view. Built with the inten-
ton of using the first and second
floors for bowling alleys it is well
lighted and airy and of such con-
struction as will insure the comfort
and convenience of patrons and the
best results generally. The third
| floor is intended to be fitted up with
office rooms. There is now no heat in
the building. but this will be provid-
ed when the plans for the remodel
ing of the structure adjoining it on
the west are carried out.
The alleys are being built by \. ID.
| Sperry and the contract for them is
| held by the Brunswick-Balke-Co
der company, of Chicago. j. ID. Sper-
ry will have the management of the
alleys when they are opened to the
public. - ~

Alleys Are FIrst-CIass

As are all first class alleys. these
are made of yellow pine in the mid
die portion, with rock maple at each
end to withstand the rough usage TO
which the extremes are subjected.
The bed is made of four-inch strips
set edgewise and planed. sandpapered
and polished down to almost abso-
lutte perfection. The lighting will be
of gas, ii having been shown that this
sort of illumination is superior to
electricity for bowling. Both above
and below there Will be raised plat
forms at the front of the rooms for
the accommodation of spectators.
The door leading directly up stairs
will form the entrance for the ladies.

HAY MEDDLING IN
OTHERS AFFAIRS
FOREIGN POWERS SAY TREAT
MENT OF JEWS IN RoUMANIA is
NO CONCERN OF THE UNITED
STATES.

London, September 25.-'TSothing that
will be of any permanent good can re-
suit from Secretary Hays note to the
powers on Roumanias treatment of Jews
unless somebody is willing to crush Rou-
mania, and no power seems anxious to
take on that task"
The foregoing quotatilns from the
utterances of an experienced British Of
ficial represents the real opinion of the
British foreign office on the subject of
negotiations between America and Eu-
rope, and represents 1t with a terse
straight-forwardness which is not like
ly to figure in the guarded diplomatic re-
plies which Mr.. Hays note will eventu-
ally produce.
The Associated Press is able to say
that Great Britain's back-up of the
United States In Roumanian matters has
only produced evidence that the sigma
tories of the Berlin treaty absolutely re-
fuse to take other than merely sensa-
tional action toward alleviating the per-
secution Of the Jews. The exchange OF
views regarding the American note So
licited by Great Britain has progressed
sufficiently to convince the foreign office
here that nothing material Is likely to
result To achieve more than a promise
from Roumania 1t is believed In Downing
street and apparently in the foreign Of
fees of the other capitals interested
that nothing short of combined display
of force would be necessary.
Insurmountable obstacles appear to
render such step impossible. Inter-Eu-
ropean Jealousies and the normally ex-
plosive conditions of the Balkans in
themselves are sufficiently powerful fac
tors to induce a policy of united interven-
tion.
According to official statements the
British foreign officers have also received
every Indication of willingness on the
part of several continental governments
to seize the opportunity of conveying to
the United States government the init
nation that 1t is interfering in matters
which do not concern It," are various
semi-official newspapers in European
capitals have put 1t.

Alleged Murderer of Mrs. Pulitzer Acts IN Peculiar Manner and
Says He Tried to 0ismember the Body So as to
Save Father from Disgrace

New York, September 23.-The train
from Derby, Conn. with William Hooper
Young on board, arrived at the Grand
Central station at 9:2O a. m. There was
a crowd Of 400 or 800 at the station when
the train came in The crowd was orderly
and no demonstration against Young
was made. Preparations for taking care
of Young and keeping the crowd from
surrounding him had been made. and
when the train was stopped the passen-
gers were told to keep their seats for 6
few minutes. Then Young, who was in
the smoking car. was taken off first. He
was led to a closed carriage and, accom-
panied by Detective sergeants Hughes
and Finley and Mr.. Hart, the prisoners =
counsel, who came down from Derby with
Tho party, was driven to police headquar-
ters.
The prisoner, handcuffed to Finley, was
led through large crowd that had gath
cred to see him. He plainly was In a
condition bordering on collapse when led
up the steps into headquarters Short

said in reply to inquiries:

Young was not even an accomplice."
At the close of the interview between
Detective Captain Titus and Young. Cap
tain Titus said Young made the follow
Ing statement:
About three weeks ago I met man
named Simpson Eiling in Central park.
He accosted me. We talked and got ac-
quainted, though he was a degenerate.
After that he called on me several times
at my fiat.

DAVIDSON is CONFIDENT.

Washington. September 2s.-(special.)-
J. w. Davidson of Birmingham, a can
didate for District Attorney Vaughans S
place, saw the attorney general this
morning and returned home tonight. Mr..
Knox told him that he had as yet given
no attention to the vacancy, being busily
occupied upon other matters and did
not know when he would be able to take
it up.
Mr.. Davidson was informed that since
he is a candidate the best thing he
could do is to return to Alabama and
secure Endorsements. which he decided
to do. Mr.. Davidson feels very confident
over the outlook. He is said to have the
Endorsement of nearly all the leaders of
the new republican party 1t is UNDER
stood here that these leaders desire that
no appointment be made until after the
election, owing to the possibilities of bad
feeling 1t might create Chairman Well

of a protective tariff in which I think the
nation, as a whole, has now generally
acquiesced, we would be able to correct
the Irregularities and remove the incon-
gruties produced by the changing condi-
tions, without destroying the whole
structure. Such machinery would per-
nit us to continue our definitely settled
tariff policy while providing for the
changes in duties upon particular sched-
ules which must inevitably and necessar-
lily take place from time to time as mat
ters of legislative and administrative de-
tall. This would secure the needed sta
bility of economic policy which is prime
factor in our Industrial success, while do
ing away with any tendency to fossilize
it. Il would recognize the fact that as
our needs shift 1t may be found advisable
to alter rates and schedules. adapting
them to the changed conditions and ne
cessities of the whole people, and this
would be in no wise incompatible with
preserving the principle of protection. for
belief in the wisdom of a protective tarin
is in no way inconsistent with frankly
admitting the desirability of changing
set of schedules when from any cause,
such change is in the interest of the ma
ton as a whole-and our tariff policy is
designed to favor the interests of the ma
ton as a whole and not those of any par
ticular set of individuals. save as an
incident to their building UP of national
we'll being. There are two or three diff
ferent methods by which it will be possi-
BILE to provide such readjustment without
any shock to the business world.
His Reference.
NY personal preference would be for
action which should be taken only after
preliminary inquiry by and upon the
findings of a body of experts of such
high character and ability that they
could be trusted to deal with the sub
iect purely from the standpoint of our
business and Industrial needs; but, of
course, congress would have to deter
mine for itself the exact method to be
followed.
"Of course In making any change we
should have to proceed in accordance
with certain fixed and definite principles
and the most important of these is an
avowed determination to protect the in
terests of the American producer, be he
business man, wage worker or farmer.
The tariff rate must never fall below
tnat which will protect the American
working man by allowing for the differ
ence between the general labor cost here
and the cost abroad, so as to at least
eoualize the conditions arising from the
difference In the standards OF labor here
and abroad"

PRESIDENTS ATLMENT
SURPRISES WASHINGTON

No word regarding the Presidents con-
dition nor of his intention TO return to
Washington had been received at the
temporary White House up to midnight.
The general expectation. however. is that
he will make his headquarters there dur
ing his stay In Washington. While the
accommodations are not adequate for the
entire family. they are ample for the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. should
the latter join him, and with corps of
servants can be soon put In shape for
occupancy. There is an accumulation of
business on hand awaiting Mr.. Roose-
velts attention and this, with the fact
that the President has promised to wit
ness the parade of the Grand Army two
weeks from tomorrow, lead officials in
Washington TO believe he will remain
here possibly until that occasion has
passed.
Secretaries Moody and Hitchcock and
Attorney General Knox are the only cab
met officers in Washington at this time.
They were very much surprised to hear
of the Illness of the President. Both Mr.
Moody and Mr.. Hitchcock said they had
not heard anything from Secretary Cor
telyou.

HAS NOT SURRENDERED
General Berti Still Holds Aqua
DuIce-WhoIe Rebel Army
Massed Against Him.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Senor Concha.
the Colombian minister here, has re-
ceiyed a cable from General Salvac,
governor of the state of Panama. de-
claring that General BERT. with the
Colombian government forces. is still
in possession of Aqua Dulce, and that
the prospects are favorable for a main
tenance of that situation. Governor
Salavar says that the report of an i'm
minent capitulation to the rebels is I'M
founded. He also states that the rebels
who are besieging him are in a sore
plight because of the untenable condi-
ton of the territory which they now
occupy.
Advices received from Colombia to-
day state that the attacking force at
Aqua Dulce consists of practically all
the rebels on the isthmus. about $500
in number, and the government troops
who are holding out in the town num-
Der 1900. The government forces are
strongly intrencheS and il is asserted
that even without outside assistance
they can hold Aqua DuIce for at least
ten or twelve days, and possibly long
er, if food supplies do not give out.
