Twenty-Five Million Loan
said to De the Game.

Philadelphia, Nov 24.-This city Is
confronted with a 5,000,0 600 theft.
Only the most heroic measures can
stay the hand Of the plunderers. The
plot to loot the city treasury of this
vast sum is concealed in the S25 ,0OO,-
coo loan bill that is to be railroaded
through the council, and, If necessary,
passed over the veto Of Mayor Weaver.
The corrupt political practice ma
chine that dominates the entire munic-
ipal government has Matched 1t for the
sole purpose of making the greatest
raid it has ever had the effrontery TO
undertake.
So cunningly has the loan bill been
formed by the machines henchmen that
in every provision is a loophole for
grating" incidentally, it conceals a
trap which is intended to ensnare May
or Weaver.
The leaders of the republican city
organization are using this bill to force
him to show his attitude toward the
machine.
The S25 100000 loan is to be used for
building school houses, water works,
liberation of other big city improve
ments, all of which are to be done un-
der the gangs supervision.

FERRIS WHEEL At THE FAIR
Famous Worlds Fair Attraction
Will Command View of Grounds.
The Taking Down and shipping OF
the wheel VIII Involve Compile
Gated Engineering Problems.

St. Louis, Nov. 24.-Final arrange
the Ferris wheel at the Worlds fair,
and the first carloads of material for
II will be shipped from Chicago within
the next few days.
The wheel will be located on the
east side of Skinker road, directly east
of the north facade of the Agricultural
building
Despite the fact that the wheel Is
not located on a hill, its promoters
claim that as its diameter is 300 feet
high, it will easily tower above any
building on the grounds.
The top of the dome of Festival hall
and the towers of Machinery hall are
now the highest points on the site, be-
ing ESQ feet above the lower plateau.
The top of the Ferris wheel will
be $40 feet above the lower plateau,
so that from its car a good view can
be had of the entire grounds. Visit
ors will not be able to gain a view
from any of the high towers or domes
of exposition buildings, as no means
is supplied for ascending them.
At the Chicago Columbia exposition
in 1908. the Ferris wheel was one of
the most prominent features. 1t was
located at the extreme end of the Mid
way Plaisance. From there it was
moved in sections to North Chicago,
and il will be erected in ST Louis for
the third time.
In erecting the wheel here. eight
foundation piers of concrete each 20x
20x25 feet will be installed, The piers
will rest on hard PAN and the exca.
walton will he carried that deep, as the
1,500-horse.power engine, which pro
pels the wheel. must rest on concrete.
About 1000 cubic yards of concrete
will be used.
Taking down the wheel and shipping
it involves many complicated engineer
ing problems. The axle, which car
ries IS tons of weight, is an enormous
ly heavy piece of steel construction.
1t is a hollow piece of coldforged steel
As feet long. AZ inches in diameter and
weighing 20 tons.
As this axle can not be shipped on
ordinary cars, two of the 2Sfoot cars
used in the transshipment of big gov
ormcnt guns will be employed for the
purpose. Each of the cars has ca
pacity Of 100000 pounds. The entire
shipment weighs 1900 tons.
