that the stone coping al the top be re-

Alarm Felt at Bureau of En-
craving and Printing Over
Extension of CreVlce in
Brick Structure.
II Fall, Most Dense
Iy Populated Portion OF
Building Would Be in Its
Path-PlanS tor Safety.

An extension Of the cfcvice that APP
peared in the stack at the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing shortly after it was
built nine years ago. has caused alarm
among the many employees Of that build
ing.
The stack is over two hundred feet high
and weighs many tons. The crack,
which has existed for years. has recently
extended several feet toward the base.
and there is further evidence Of the set
tling Of the towering chimney. The
crack. furthermore. extends around on
the side next 10 the money factory. and
u it should fail the most donsely popu-
lated portion a. the big building would
be directly in fits path. The matter has
Meredith. and immediate steps viii prob

Largest IN City.
The stack is probably the largest one
tf It's kind in the city. II was built
eight OF nine years aeo I'm response to
demands for increased power for the
many machines that were added to the
printing plant Shortly after its compile
tion crack appeared in its side about
1l5 feet above the ground. But little at
tentiou was paid 10 it at FIRST. but as il
increased in length experts were called
In to examine it.
These made careful examination at
the time, and announced that in their
opinion the parting OF the bricks was due
10 too sudden heating Of the stack after
its completion. They also reported that
there may have been a weakness due to
the cement mortar used. The stability
OF the stack, they believed. was not af-
fected by the break, which seemed to be
superficial As no further extension OF
the crevice was noted for several years
the matter was forgotten
Eccently several Of the employees Of the
office have detected an extension Of the
break, and yesterday several local busi-
ness men who were passing the building
announced that they detected smoke
coming from a portion Of the cracked
surface. This. they said. indicated that
the hssure had penetrated the entire
thickness Of the huge stack and indi-
Gated most dangerous condition Of af-
fairs.

CONGREGATION CLOSE.
Whispered to Collector They Had
Cleft Purses at Home"

London, Nov. 15-The irreverent of
London are smiling because a recent
congregation that gathered at St. Pauls
cathedral, although made up of the
noblest and richest persons in the king
dom, contributed only a beggarly $500
to the contribution boxes.
The king and queen were present in
the cathedral and with them an the
cream of London's aristocratic and
wealthy society,"" One would expect the
contributions on such occasion to be
splendidly munificent but it was a rue
full $500 only.
Numbers of eminent persons who were
present in uniform and court dress
whispered to the collectors that they had
left their purses at home" but would
send a check next day. So far a check
has not been received and the dean of
st. Pauls is sad.
OF the $500 collected the American am
bassador and three other Americans
present contributed $50 each. What the
king and queen gave is, of course, not
known.
