NEW HALL OF RECORDS
PROPERTY OWNERS ACCEPT SEC
RErARY sHAW's OFFER.
Little if Any Land in Square 143 Will
Have to Be Condemned-Superv1sing
Architect Taylor's Intentions.

1t is announced at the Treasury Depart
ment that there will be little II any OF
the property in square 143, between E and
F and 18th and 10th streets, to be con-
demned by the Secretary of the Treasury
before the entire square can be obtained by
the government a site for the proposed
hall of records. Practically every property
owner in the square has now notified the
treasury of his willingness to part with his
real estate at two and one-tenth times the
assessed valuation, the basis Of settlement
fixed by Secretary Shaw. Several Of the
principal owners who have been holding
out today informed officials of the treasury
that they would accept Secretary Shaw 8
proposition. 1t is stated that there is one
small lot in the square that is In litigation
and the legal title to which is to be deter
mined, and that there are possibly one or
two others that it may be necessary to
condemn, but even the owners of these are
expected to accept the treasury basis
When Congress makes appropriation
for the new hall of records 1t is the inten-
ton of ]. Knox Taylor, supervising archi-
tect, to give to the plans for the building
his personal attention. He already has in
mind their general scope. There will be a
large main building, and from this will run
an extension for each Of the departments.
In these extensions will be accommodated
the valuable files of the government. The
building will be wholly fireproof, for in
case of the destruction of the departments
files by fire the loss to the government
would be irreparable. This would be par
ticularly SO with the Treasury Department,
which holds so many evidences of immense
payments by the government.
The main point in the plans to be pre-
pared by Mr.. Taylor. however will be that
they will provide for additions to the build
ing as the business of the government in
creases.
Congress has appropriated 5000 for
drawing up plans and these plans will be
ready to submit to Congress when it meets
next winter. In the meatime Mr. Taylor
will send a representative of his Office to
Europe to study the plans of the only two
buildings in the world used-fer- halls Of
records One is in London and the other is
in Paris. The architecture of the buildings
and the methods employed in them will be
both considered

JUDGE Seth DECLINES.
Does Not Care to Go on the New
Mexico Bench.

Judge Clement NJ Smith of Hastings.
Mich, has notified the Department Of JUS
tice that he does not care to accept the
appointment of associate justice Of the
supreme court of New Mexico. to succeed
Judge Daniel H. Mcmillan, who was dis
missed several months ago for gross Inn
morality while on the bench. Judge Smith
declination is a long time in coming. but Is
not a surprise. to his friends. He has a
good place on the Michigan state bench,
being Judge of the fifth circuit of that
state. His friends urged him not to accepe
the New Mexico appointment, which was
made upon the recommendation OF Senator
Burrows.
Delegate Rodey and the New Mexico peo-
pie will now renew their efforts to have
resident of the territory made Judge They
were much disappointed when the President
appointed Judge Smith, and threatened TO
fight the nomination in the Senate mex
winter on the ground that the appointment
of an outside man violated all the national
platform pledges of the republican party
and was unfair to the people of the terri
tory. Among those mentioned for the
place, and having chances of appointment,
are: Ex-Judge Freeman, who was fnstru-
mental in proving the charges against
Judge Mcmillan; w. c. Reid, United States
attorney, and a former captain In the
Rough Riders; Frank w. Clancy Of Albu-
querque. territorial district attorney.

HAMILTON FOR ZIMMERMAN
Democratic County Convention at Gin
cinnati Today.

CINCINNATI, August 1.-THE demo-
cratic convention of Hamilton county today
selected forty-two delegates to the state
convention majority are for John L.
Zimmerman for governor as against Mayor
johnson. The feature of the convention
was the fight on Lewis G. Bernard. who
has been the local leader for thirty years
At the primaries last night members of the
county executive committee were elected
In the second ward Lewis G. Bernard and
A. G. Turnipseed each claimed 215 votes.
Each charged the other with fraud and
with having only PA votes. The executive
committee decided the contest in favor Of
Bernard
1t is now believed that Bernard will be-
come chairman of the county executive
committee again and also be reelected as
member of the state central committee but
he will not be able to apply the unit rule
in the voting of the delegates to the state
convention.
Different View of the Result.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 12-Though
the result is close it looks as though the
Johnson democrats have carried Hamilton
county, the stronghold of the anti-Johnson
democrats, led by Jno. r. Mclean and his
old lieutenant, Lewis G. Bernard, and will
probably secure the forty-two delegates to
the state convention, to which that county
is entitled. There will probably be a con-
test. and the state convention will no doubt
seat the delegates selected by Rev. Herbert
Bigelow. the Johnson leader in Cincinnati.
The result shows that the anu-Johnson
democrats are Understanding the vigor
with which Mayor Johnson is going after
delegates. The Mclean managers at Gin
cinnati had little interest in the primaries
OF yesterday so far as they affected the
state campaign, but they did desire to
retain the control of the local party ma
chine. and put in just what effort they
thought necessary to secure 1t. 1t looks az
II they had lost it.

Taft Peculiarly Fitted.

It Is felt that Gov. Taft has had Just
the executive experience best calculated
to mt him for the position Of Secretary of
War. He knows the insular problem bet
ter than any other man. with it's intimate
relations to the military administration,
and he has the legal qualifications which
nave come to be regarded as essential In
the head Of the War Department. He
Is thoroughly In harmony with the Presi-
dent In all his plans.
The special work for which Gov. Taft
went to Manila has now advanced so far
that It can safely be left in other hands
and the condition of Gov. Taft's health is
such that his continuance at Manila will
pc at a very heavy sacrifice. Moreover
there Is ready at hand an experienced ad-
ministrator who can take Taft's place
Wltnout any serious break. Gen. Luke
wright served as acting governor during
GOV. Taft's visit to the United States, and
ne can continue Gov Taft's policies with
every promise of success. It has been
Planned for months that If anything should
happen to bring Gov. Taft back to this
country. Gen. Wright should succeed to
Ine governorshtp Of the Philippines. The
!. resident has high regard for him. and.
II is said. would not think of seeking else
where for Taft's successor This will leave

The Phenix papers state that care
full investigations by physicians COW
ering a period of many months, have
led to the discovery that most Of the
cases OF appendicitis have resulted
from the too free use of cold drinks
and foods. Hence these articles have
been tabooed and there is wailing and
gnashing of teeth. One OF Phoenix's
leading physicians said last night that
the cold liquid as il runs through the
intestinal tract, has the effect of send
ing the blood from the intestines, the
result being that the vitality OF the
tract Is greatly lowered. II this prae-
tice is continued, the appendix soon
becomes infiamed and case Of appen-
dicitis results. The same physician
is authority for the statement that
nearly all cases of appendicitis during
the summer months are due to cold
foods and drinks. That the latter will
bring on the disease was first noticed
by q German physician, who called the
attention of his fellow practitioners to
the fact. The result was that patients
we're carefully watched, and the obser-
vations of the German physician we're
verified. The edict of the physicians
against cold foods and liquids has
spread CONSERVATION among the deal
ers in wet goods, and the druggists who
depend upon the sale of soda water,
for large share of their income. They
assert that the physicians are stalking
through their hats, and that there 10
nothing to their recent discovery. New
ertheless they admit that the sales OF
iced drinks have recently fallen of at
an alarming rate.

that the mine will bs put in charge

pose Of exploitation. The mines are
among the best properties In Arizona
and under proper management and
the right backing ought to become
great producers of rich ore. The idea
of tss;ing mine and making it pay its

A Great Gold Property,

Inc Gold Road mines are showing
themselves to be the greatest gold
producing properties in the territory
OF Arizona. Since the starting up of
the MILL every week has seen an in.
crease In the bulliou output of the
property until at present it's produc.
ton is phenominal. Last Sunday there
was shipped from the mill two bars of
bullion, valued at 10,oOOs and on We'd
neaday two more bars valued at I2OOOS
we're sent to the office of the company
In Los Angeles, making total of D.
oOOs inside of three days, the product
OF six days run of the tanks. Better
ore 10 now being sent to the mill from
the slopes and 1t is predicted that the
production for August will be far in
excess of that of July. At the present
rate Of production the mine may be
depended on for more than lOO,OOOs
monthly. The people at the head of
the concern are men with thorough
knowledge Of mining and milling and
they have been ssnguine OF attaining
big success in the handling OF the
property. At present there is not a
share Of stock on the market and none
can be had, although recently its mar.
ket price was far above par. The com.
pany is making an effort to get sup
ply OF water adequate to the demands
and as soon as this has been accom-.
plishsd the output of the mill will be
largely increased. So far the mill has
not been run to its foil capacity.
