Emporia, Kas.. March 30.-The total

No Place for Workmen at Independ-
ence to Live.

Independence, Kas, March 30.-The
work of building the Missouri PACING
switch to the Western States Cement
company's plant will begin April 1. 1t
will not take very long to complete it,
and then hundreds of cars of con-
struction material for the plant that
are awaiting shipment at various points
in the east will be started Immediately
for this place.
An officer of the company said yes
terday that two hundred houses were
wanted at once for the accommodation
of employees. This number of work
men will also be employed in the work
of construction.
The cement company has not con-
templated the building of a town in
connection with the works, and the
house question is a serious one to be
considered in connection with this in
dustry. Unless local capital will build
these houses for our workmen, said
he I'VE will almost be compelled to
designate unmarried men as our en-
ployes. This we do not want to do,
and it is something the town does not
want, either. More houses is the great
est need of Independence just now, and
there is absolutely no sense in bowling
for more factories to come to this city
until you get places for workmen to
live. We want the men to live in the
city. 1t will be convenient for them to
live in the city proper, because it is the
intention of the cement company to OPP
crate an Independent eleclrlc railway
to and from the city for the use of
employees. This will run along the
right of way of the railway switch and
will have its station near the south
end of Pennsylvania avenue.
THE building of a few hundred more
houses is the only thing that will bring
down the rents. and there is no use
talking to a working man about COM
ing to Independence to live when he
sees that the landlord is going to alb
sorb a large part of his earnings. [ tell
you the people here do not realize the
enormity of the mistake they are max
ing in driving the working classes
away from here by exorbitant rents
and prices. 1t is an outrage, and it
looks like they would wake up to a re-
ahzation of it only when it is too late.
Persons who feel disposed to build
houses don't know how they are going
to do it, because mechanics will not
come here to live This condition may
be relieved somewhat however, when
warm weather comes. Then these men
and families can live comfortably In
tents until they can get houses, or
build for themselves

Murphy, of Detroit. Mich. In the deal
200 acres of land were transferred to
Mr.. Goppert and the price pai1 for the
property was $50. 900. The farm is
composed mostly of bottom land and is
considered to be one of the best farms

BRITT BROKE AN ARM.
The K Ray Shows His Right Was
Useless Several Rounds.

San Francisco, March 30-Jimmy
Britt fought the last twelve rounds of
his famous fight of Friday night last
with a broken arm That fact was con-
clusively proven by the use of the x
ray on the injured member, and it will
be many weeks before the pluclxy young
Californian will be in shape again to
fight a severe battle. The heavy strain
of the hurricane fighting in round eight
reopened the fracture he received in the
fight with Candle. and from that to the
end every blow struck with his right
hand caused intense pain Britt is in
bed, nursing a badly cut and swelled
face a right arm and hand swollen to
three times their natural size, and ribs
and a stomach that ache with pain from
the weight of covers.
Harry Pollock did not go east. He is
waiting for Britt to be about, in order
to see him about a return match for
COrbett. Before leaving Corbett tried
to see Britt to arrange for a return
match Britt could not see him, but
expressed a Willingness to give him a
return match later on, when he had had
a complete rest. Corbett told Pollock
before leaving to make the match at
any cost. no matter what terms or con-
ditlonS Britt should exact.
