DIsCREDIT ROCKEFELLER GOULD
STORY. Officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in Philadelphia place
very little stock in the report that John
d. Rockefeller is attempting to secure
control of that great railroad system.
Capt. John p. Green, first vice president
of the company, and Efingham B. Nor
ris, one of the directors, declare they
have no information on the subject be-
yond what they had CLEANED from the
newspapers. Capt. Green said it would
take 5000, 600, 600 to secure control of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. "From whom
are they going to get control of the
roadY Admitting that such thing
were possible" said another official,
"what good would it do for any person
or corporation to gain a controlling in
terest in the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company? They would be unable to
elect director for year, and, under
the order of retirement, it would take
four years to gain a majority on the
board"

Washington in particular. Hardly day

efforts of those with moderate incomes to
"keep up" with the rich are the prin-
cipaI causes of these troubles.

RUSSIA DECLINES OFFERS. --Numer-
GUS offers have reached the Russian
government from American sources to
aid the families of sufferers IN the recent
Kishenef incident All such offers have
been declined, for the reason that Russia
is entirely capable of extending relief
and under the circumstances cannot ac-
cent outside aid. The Russian position
in the matter stated in brief is as fol-
lows: Russia has not been unapprecia-
tive of the generous offers which have
come to her from America since the AZ
fair at Kishenef, nor ofthe humanitarian
motive which may have prompted these
offers. In view of the fact that his
majesty the Emperor has the means at
hand to relieve suffering wherever 1t
appears in his empire, outside aid Is I'M
necessary and all offers of such must be
declined. Nor will it be possible for
Russia to receive any representations re-
garding the Kishenef incident from a
foreign power. The Russian govern
ment takes the same position as that
long held by the American government;
namely, that it refrains from inter
ference in the internal affairs of another
power and must insist on similar treat
ment for itself Should any foreign
power take steps to restrict immigration
of Russian Jews on the ground that they
are undesirable, Russia will will not
protest. She admits the right of every
nation to say who shall come through
its gates and who shall not. Should any
country, as a result Of the Kishenef Incl
dent, adopt measures restricting immi-
grafton of Russian Jews, Russia will
regard such step only as a defensive
measure on the part of the power taking
it and not in the light of a reflection on
the Russian government.

CITY ON EVE OF
BUILDING BOOM
One Company Alone Has Orders
For 5 100000 Bricks.
BIG DEMAND FOR MASONS
LARGE NUMBER OF STRUCTURES
HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED FOR.

According to present indications a
building boom win envelop salt Lake
this spring. The Salt Lake Pressed
Brick company has already received
advance orders for 5000 600 bricks for
buildings that have been contracted for
The majority of these unusual orders
are from Salt Lake contractors. Other
brick companies are hard pressed to
supply their customers.
The manager of the company stated
yesterday that the plant is working at
its full capacity, and the orders for
brick are coming in faster than they
can be filed.
We are shipping about 100 600 bricks
day he added. and viii continue 10
do this for some time 20 come. Our
present orders already amount TO g.
600 900 or 100000 bricks, and new ones
are received every day. OF course, some
Of the orders are for other places in the
state but the most of the brick win be
used here in the city
AT present there isn't a bricklayer or
mason In Salt Lake who hassnot all the
work he can do. it is the same with
the contractors. In fact, there are not
enough men i'm these lines of work 10
supply the demand. There is a big
rush just at present because the wea-
Their is suitable for building Those
who had foundations waiting for the
superstructure are at work putting up
the buildings as fast as they can, and
this makes a big demand for brick. The
amount of building going on i'm the city
at the present time is unusual. and il
is an indication that business is on the
boom here.
I'VE are furnishing the brick for the
government building, and this accounts
for a large portion of our orders. A
number of new warehouses are to be
built in the southwestern portion Of the
city and this viii take a lot more
brick. Improvement and building is
going on everywhere"
