surrounding the alleged robbery of Mrs.
Emma Proutex. of $500 worth of diamonds
on Sunday by Mrs. Minnie Grady, who
took her out driving. is deepening. Mrs.
Grady first denied that she was out with
Mrs. Proutex. She has changed that
story and restored the diamonds.
She says she left Mrs. Proutex intoxi-

Building Inspector Houghton Fav
ors More Stringent Ordinances.
WANTS MORE FlRE-PRooF WORK
Costly Than Ordinary Con-
structiOn.

Amendments to the building laws look
Ing to construction more near
ly approaching the absolutely fire
proof is the prime need of the time in
Minneapolis, in the best estimation of
Building Inspector Houghton, and he is
now engaged in working UP interest in a
movement to that end among local archi-
tects. The lessons Of big fires Of the past
two or three years, especially the one in
Paterson, N. j., few weeks ago, have
convinced him that there is need in Min
neapolis of more stringent regulations re-
garding the manner of constructing build
1ngs in the business dist riot and the ma
terial entering int their construction.
The present building ordinances date
back some fifteen or eighteen years.
Hardly a change of any moment tending
to give additional security against fire
has been made in that time. The business
section OF the city has, happily, been
spared any serious confagration up to
date. But other cities of similar con-
struction have suffered terrible losses in
late years, and it is reasonable to expect
that Minneapolis turn will come some
day.
The city is now developing rapidly.
Large and lofty buildings will be going
up In the next few years, and now, says
Mr.. Houghton, is the time to take meas
ures to secure annuity from disas-
trous CONGREGATIONS by taking measures
that will Improve the character of the
construction. The time is more opportune
than ever before, he explains from the
fact that. owing to the recent rapid rise
In the price Of lumber, the difference be-
tween the cost of fre-proof and ordinary
construction is now much less than ever
before, even in Minneapolis, where lumber
| is plentiful and cheap. In fact, the margin
is now so small that some builders argue
that with the decreased cost of insurance
the fire proof building will hereafter be
the cheaper in the long run.
AS far as he has advanced with his in
quiries, Mr.. Houghton finds the architects
| uniformly in favor of his plan. 1t is quite
necessary, he explains, to secure first the
cooperation of the architects in this
matter. He could do nothing without
their assistance. One of the changes Mr..
Houghton suggests as being especially
called for at this time is a regulation that
all hotel buildings above three stories In
height be strictly fire-proof. The present
regulations put the non tre-proof limit at
five st cries :

Movement Of Realty Increasing
With the Seasons Advance.
SOME GOOD INVESTMENTS MADE
of Big Improvement
Announced.

Several large transactions have been
markers in the Minneapolis and real es-
tate building world during the last seven
days. First and foremost comes the pur-
chase of banking building for $275,000
Wy the National Bank of Commerce. The
w. P. Cockey sales of different properties
to the Baltimore Investment company
amounted to $26,500. Arthur G. Andrews
purchased through Lane & Conrad q lot
with frontage on Clifton and Groveland
avenues costing $4,000. The Stewart
purchase of the corner of Fourteenth ave-
nue. and Washington was significant
investment. The Gillettes sold to the
new iron works in South Minneapolis
twelve acres and the attached buildings
for $4,000. The deal will result in an ex-
tension Of the buildings capacity, H.
P. Goodnow made large purchase of lots
IN Island park, which will result in the
development Of new residence section
on the Lake Of the Isles. A large part
OF the old ball park grounds at Sixth and
First avenue N was purchased by T. B..
Walker from C. B. Heffelfnger and
improvements will follow. The North
Star Shoe company purchased the plant,
Including the real estate of the Shaft
Pierce Shoe company.
The largest building announcement was
that of the proposed Games fats build
ings at Second avenue s and Eleventh
street. They will probably cost 100000
and will be models of this kind of con-
struction. 1t was announced that H.
Alden Smith would improve the northwest
corner of Sixth and Hennepin with two
story buildings Of tasty design. The
school of mines building at the state uni
versity and the chemical building an
nounced for the school of agriculture will
together cost $77.5OO The Decker dormi-
tory will be put up at the campus at an
expenditure of $4,000 A probable re-
vival Of the New Brighton packing in
dustry was reported this week. A re-
opening of this industry will result in
much building. w. L. Luce is adding the
final tenth story to the Phoenix block. 1t
will cost considerable sum, although
it does not correspond with the rest of
the building in architecture, being merely
a terra Gotta and steel attic. A new
yacht club house plan for Calhoun was
made public this week 1t will be a model
in it's way, providing lounging room and
porches and a locker apartment.

were lots in the outlying parts of the
city where prices have not been forced up
ny neighboring improvements and compe-
tition. They were purchased principally
by working people and clerks on salaries,
men with families who seek permanent
homes. In many instances the property
was paid for in monthly installments in
a way that in reality constituted rent,
but which permitted the money to apply
on the purchase. Next comes the better

this sort than of the cheaper Kind are
shown. In between come eighty-nine
deeds with consideration between $500
and $1,000.
Altogether the sales over $4,000
amounted to $65,6O0. The sales of the
lots in the better parts of the city num-
bered sixteen between $4,000 and s. 200,
and eleven between $4,000 and 10000.
The houses to be erected on these lots
will easily average $4,000 each.
The fled mortgages, Of course. maintain
a general average with the deeds regis
tered, as many are for part Of the pur-
chase money. Under $500 the mortgages
numbered eighty one for the three weeks.
Up to $1,000 the number was ffty-eight,
and between $1,000 and $4,000, forty were
filed. Only two large mortgages outside
the Northern Pacific blankets were filed.
They were for $40, 900 and $40, 900 each.

BUYING ON THE RISE
The Lesson Taught by Recent Realty
.. Purchases.

The Lesson Taught by Recent Realty
. Purchases.
When keen, shrewd business men, max
ing up the directorate of banks, usually
hostile to real estate investments decide
that it is wise for their institutions to
own the buildings in which they do bust
ness, it is time for citizens in general
and for persons interested in manufactur-
ing plants and business institutions to
consider the question of owning the homes
in which they live and in which their in
dustries are housed.
Within the month the Northwestern
National bank has determined to erect a
permanent home on First avenue S. A
few days later the National Bank OF
Commerce directors vot ed to purchase the
building in which is situated their bank
ing rooms
1t is exident that these almose con-
certed moves give the banks added sta
bility. As it was seen that rents were
stiffening and, at the same time, realty
values were advancing, for their own pro-
lection and profit, these directors voted
to buy before the market quickened, thus
saving high rents. By charging off GER
tain amounts every year the cost of the
properties will not be a. drain on the
finances of either bank.
The decision of the two banks to settle
at First avenue S and Fourth, reinforced
by the fact that already the Farmers and
Mechanics bank is in its own building,
insures the stability of the banking cen
ter. It is probable that other unhoused
institutions of like nature will move to
make purchases.
The same conditions apply to all bust
ness houses. The wisdom of owning prop
erty is evinced by the fact that many
large mercantile and manufacturing
houses of Minneapolis have, within a
year, built places of business or have
bought sites for such places.
The men who own their homes make
better citizens and bett er cities goes with
out argument. A wide breach separates
the renting class, without personal inter
est, or stock, as it were, in the city, and
that which is involved to the extent of
an investment in home.
When to buy is the question. The an
swer, based on the experience of other
cities and of past years in Minneapolis,
Is now. The market is not thoroughly
ION the up" yet, and it is the man who
sells real estate on rising values who is
the money maker. Why should not the
home seeker have the same advantage by
buying early.

PEACE WILL BE PEACEFUL

London, April 9.-The peace negotia-
lions are reported progressing satisfac-
torily, so far as the Transvaalers are
concerned but the latest advices indi-
cate that there is small probability OF
the Free Skaters surrendering in a body.
The negotiations thus far have been main
ly explanations of British intentions. It
has been made plain to the leaders that
their surrender will not entail Punishment
and this has been potent influence. The
leading Transvaalers urge their allies to
arrange for peace. The inner circles OF
the war office believe that the Free
Staters opposition will soon be over
come.
