BUILDING NOTES,
Activity Shown by Number Of the Per
mitS Issued

This was of the busiest days ever
known in the Office OF the inspector of
buildings. Building permits were issued
between . and l o'clock for more than
$4,000 worth of improvements, most of
these being dwelling houses. The activity
in the building market especially with ref
erence to dwellings of moderate cost, is
most marked and indicates that the i'm
mense fiat buildings have not driven the
homes from the market.
John l.. Warren took out permits today
to erect twenty-six two-story and cellar
dwellings on Princeton street between 7th
and 8th streets northwest, the total cost
being $63. 900. Mr.. Warren also secured
permits for twenty-four of the same class
of dwellings to be erected on Dearborn
street northwest. the total cost of the
twenty-f four being $54 coo.
A permit was issued today in the namo
of Irene R. Sheridan for magnificent
four-story brick dwelling at 22l1 Massa-
chusetts avenue. The bare structural cost
will be $4,000.
John H. Brant, who has recently come
into notol iety as the father-in-Iaw of James
NJ. A. Watson. the defaulting District clerk
today took out a permit to erect four two
story and cellar brick dwellings from 1871
to 1877 b street southeast, the total cost
being S15,00O. Mr.. Bryant recently put a
trust upon the property
AIonzo O. Bliss took out permits today
for dwelling houses in different sections of

Too Much Hay Stored.

Chief Engineer w. 7. Belt of the fire de-
partment has referred to the Commission
ers letter complaining that two-story
brick house on G street between LIST and I'd
streets northeast Is being used by Theodore
Michaels as a storage house for hay Fire
Marshal Bieber reports that the conditions
found there, as feed store were not dan
gerous. but that there was a greater
amount of hay stored than was allowed by
the police regulations. 1t came later to his
attention that the amount of hay stored
was being increased. and reinspection
was made and the case was one that then
endangered surrounding property. A war
rant was issued for the arrest Of Mr.
Michaels and the court ordered the prem
ises vacated within two days.

CARDINAL GIBBONS SAILS
Explains Under What Conditions He
Goes to Rome.

NEW YORK. July 9.-Cardinal Gibbons
who goes abroad to be near Rome when
the conclave Of cardinals Is called should
the pope's illness prove fatal, sailed to-
day on the steamship La Touraine. He
was accompanied by his secretary, Father
P. C. Garvtn.
The cardinal pointed out before sailing
that he was not summoned officially to
Rome to take part in the conclave. Such a
summons. he said. would come only after
the death Of the pope. When the Illness
of the holy father took serious turn a
few days ago, he received q cablegram
from Cardinal Rampona. the papal secre-
tary of state, suggesting that 1t would be
advisable for the cardinal to come over.

do, they have been willing to sell their
birthright for trifiing sum of money.
The Proposed Procedure.


Under regulations that will be promul-
gated in a few days Indians who wish to
sell their lands may petition to the Indian
agent, whose duty it will be to cause to be
inserted in newspapers of the territory an
advertisement for sixty days, and to post
notice Of the proposed sale in the Office of
the agency Bids for the purchase of the
land will be received sealed. In the mean
time the land to be sold will be appraised,
and the appraised value will be held in Sc
cret until the sealed bids are opened. If
the bids are as high or higher than the APP
praised value the Indian may sell his land
and have the sale approved by the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. II the bids do not
equal the appraised value then there will
be no sale.
BY this method 1t is believed there will be
as great protection for the Indian as 1t is
possible for the government to give him.
No deed will be valid unless approved by
the Secretary. and the attempts of both
white and red men to buy these lands from
the Indians for a mere song have been of
no avail. OF the deeds that have been made
by Indians and not approved by the Secre-
tary probably not more than half a dozen
have been received by the commissioner OF
Indian affairs. How many OF the deeds are
still in the agency In the Indian territory
Is not known here.
The land belonging to the Creek nation,
of which Congress has authorized the sale,
averages about 300 acres per Indian. The
Indian may sell all his land except forty
acres, which he must hold as a home
stead.
So far as the act OF the men who have
agreed to buy land from the Indians are
concerned there is nothing for the govern
ment to investigate. While 1t may be in
effect fraud for white man to agree
to buy land far less than 1t IL worth such
action cannot be regarded as a legal fraud.
But in no such case has sale been con-
summated and no official of the govern
ment is charged with a knowledge or col
fusion with any such transaction, except
SO far az he might gain knowledge by
the filing Of the deeds In the agency.

WOMAN SACRIFICES HAIR
PINS FOR OTHERS BENEFIT
Slender Steel Wires Do Duty as Fuses
on Easton Avenue Car After Ac.
cident Near Goode Avenue.

Hairpins and hat pins. donated by q
woman passenger for use as fuses on an
Easton avenue car. enabled other passen-
gers to reach their destination after the
coach had been disabled early yesterday
morning.
One after another the pins were meltd
and then replaced. until the woman's hair
fell down her back and her hat could no
longer be secured. But the car success
fully completed the journey to wellston
and back to the sheds with only few
minutes delay.
The fuse blew out as the car neared
Goode avenue. and the damage could not
be repaired for want of wire. Some one
suggested that the woman be asked for
a hairpin to supply the place Of the reg
ular fuse.
Motorman Joseph Schulenburg de-
INJURED. but finally called the lady's eS-
cort. to whom the situation was ex-
planned. The young woman gave a hair
pin, with the aid of which the car pro-
sengers and the consequent sudden pas
sage of the current through the slender
wire proved too much for the metal.
AS each hairpin was sacrificed and the
car moved nearer the terminus, the pas
sengers took a lively interest in the fate
OF the little wire. Finally, when her halr-
pins were exhausted the young woman
willingly parted with her hatpins for the
benefit Of her fellow-pasSengerS

After being struck by the engine OF

a distance of twenty-five feet, Samuel
Bancroft. 1s years old, of No. 1906 Tower
Grove avenue, was, saved from probable
death by Patrolman Patrick Shea of the
Seventh District, who pulled his almost
unconscious form from in front Of the
train which struck him.
The accident occurred shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday morning at the Tower
Grove Station of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way. Bancroft sells papers before and
after school hours.
At the time he was struck by the train
he was running across the tracks in front
Of the station to sell a paper to a man
who was boarding an east-bound Missouri
Pacific accommodation train
The train was standing on the second
track from the platform. Samuel was in
q hurry to finish selling his papers, so
that he would not be late for school. He
did not notice the westbound Missouri Pa
cifc express. which was pulling into the
station on the first track.

train saw the boy and applied the air

Patrolman Shea was standing on the
platform, talking to John L Moore. The
boy fell near where he was standing. He

Washington. Sept. 22.-Governor William
H Hunt of Porto Rico will resign his po-
sition before another year. it is stated on
good authority. He has accomplished
what he went to Porto Rico to do, and he
would like to return to this country.
It is expected that Governor Hunt will
retire from his present position by the
middle of the year and perhaps sooner.
He is in Washington now attending to
some matters preliminary to returning to
his duties at San Juan, for which place
he will sail from New York Saturday. He
has been In this country for several
months
A reporter talked with him about his
early resignation, and also about the vice
presidential boom that has been launched
for him. Governor Hunt declined to dis
cuss either OF these things, saying that
some of his friends were paying him some
