MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
Manufacturers Deeply Gratlfed by Legis-
| latve Action on Their State
Fair Building

There is much satisfaction expressed
among the manufacturers over the ap-
proval of the request for an appropriation
for a manufactures building at the state
fair The Northwestern Manufacturers
association and the members of the board
Of managers Of the State Agricultural So
ciety have been working hard for this
measure ard while they are disappointed
in not getting the $4,000 asked. for they
are glad of the recognition of their needs
which the unanimous vote of the appro
priations committee of the legislature
voiced.
Il Plans for the erection of the building
will be considered as soon as the bill is
formally passed which will probably be
to morrow. It will require active work

PROHIBITIONS BENEFITS

REV, CndFleS wi. Sf1elOCn speaks III Praise
OF Kansas Law at C. e.
Rally.
One Of the best means of uplifting hu
manity and decrea sing crime is the prac
tical applicat ton of prohibition, said Rev.
Charles Sheldon, OF Topeka. Kan, au
thor of In His Steps, who addressed
the Christian Endeavor rally at the First
Baptist church last evening. That it was
possible for prohibition to better the world
to such all extent and greatly to improve
municipal conditions he said, had been
proved by it's effect in Kansas Where the
criminal courts had once worked overtime
and the jails had been full of the victims
of whisky. both institutions had now al
most outlived their usefulness. In some
counties criminal case had not been
tried in years. and in several instances
jails were being used as store houses
More good could be accomplished. he de-
clared with fewer churches and greater
concentration Of Christian effort.

and a lot of hustling to get the building
ready for the next fair. which opens on
Aug. 81, but the public may be assured
that the structure will be ready on time
Last year many Of them anufactures Of
the state were obliged to exhibit in tenn
porary booths; this year things will be
different. =

Speaker Before Chemists Club Says Apart
ment House Iron Will Not Last.

Maximilian Toch delivered lecture before tho
Chemists Club last night on "The Permanent Pro-
lection of Steel and Iron"
There are some of the big buildings with their
iron and steel girders which have been put lately
in this city that will last until the day of DOOM.
he said There are others that would give from
fifty to seventy-fve years. OF course, the most Of
us will be gone before that time arrives. but 1t
may be we'll to give warning to builders and
architects of the future. From time immemorial 1t
has been custom to protect steel and iron with
paint 1t is the object OF all architects to pro-
tect especially exposed steel iron. such as, for
instance, a bridge.
I'VE are going fathers and our grand
fathers did before us. a great deal OF guessing
and experimenting has been done and. consider.

the paint OF the is to be aqueous mixture

very quickly.
Pictures were shown of parts OF the elevated road
structure which corroSion showed These grid
ers had be frequently renewed. but If a paint or
could be made IL would protect the exposed iron
and steel parts indefinitely. He showed the pict-
ure of part of new fireproof apartment house
in Central Park West. and said:
In my opinion. from examinations have made
OF this house, 1t will not last for fifteen years.
Many of the girders are even now beginning to
show CorroSon. 1t Will be only few years when
these girders will have TO be replaced.
Another picture of new apartment hotel lately
opened shown. and in the building OF this hotel
the iron girderS and beams had been treated with
a solution of the paint or covering such as the
speaker suggested. an6, although the examination
was made when the temperature outside showed

Miss Virginia Roome. probationary officer, being
the only friend present. The father sent several
letters to Miss Roome regarding his daughter, and
gave as his reasons for not being able to attend
ill health. professional engagements and other
reasons"
This led Magistrate Furlong rather severely to
comment on parent who would not stand by his
daughter in trouble. and only saw fit to spend two
cent postage stamps for letters.
Among other things in his letter DR.. Stuart said
of Oyster Bay:
This village is too corrupt for any young girl
more particularly for one who is not mentally
strong ,
He declared that old woman shOpkeeper had
done much to corrupt the girls of the town. He
added that Mrs. Stuart too Ill to take care of
the daughter and that his means would not per
nit him to send the young woman away where
she would have new influences.
The KissaEl girl was arrested last Saturday night

married several months ago to a man In Hunting
tOn but he has since disappeared.

VISITORS FROM SPAIN IN wALL-ST.
Paid 81 Each to See the City-Senors and
Senoritas On Their Way from Cuba.

picturesque party of sefIors seioras and selori-
tss inspected the city yesterday after paying for
the privilege at the rate Of 81 a head They were
the first and second class passengers of the Span
Ssh steamer Montserrat which touched here on its
way from Cuba to Spain. Thursday evening, when
the steamer to her pier, the cabin passengers
planned to spend the morning hours in looking at
q modern American city while the steamer was
taking aboard her freight before sailing in the
afternoon. When they left the ship yesterday morn
ing they were surprised and much disgusted at be-
ing called upon TO pay 81 apiece. This was sup
posed to be the head tax charged by the United
States Government upon aliens entering the coun-
try from a foreign country.
While it is not clear that a tax could be charged
for transient visitors the steamship agent did lot
collect the right amount under the new immi-
grafton law the tax is s. instead Of 81. The law has
required the payment by the steamship company Of
the head tax for every alien which 1t brings into
the country. The agent apparently was not TO be
caught mapping any OF the Spaniards should have
failed to get aboard before the steamer sailed.
This question settled TO the satisfaction OF the
steamship agent and TO the dissatisfaction of the
other parties the transaction the gaily costumed
, company walked across South-st. and into the
heart Of the financial district II they did not
cause the hurrying cotton brokers to and look

appearance. Their apparel was brilliant as that
