OWNERS OF PROPERTY REFUSE
ARCHITECT b. b. DAVIS
OFFER.

Brinton b. Davis, who prepared
plans for the l2 story office and store
building which eastern capitalists de.
sired to erect in Louisville, yesterday
wired an offer of 1915, 900 10 Messrs.
Saunders and Lawrence Jones, who
are now in Florida for the Masonic
temple property at Fourth avenue and
Jefferson street. The offer WAS prompt
ly refused by Mr.. Jones who tele-
graphed back that he was unwilling to
sell the property for less than s420, 600
says yesterdays Louisville Herald.
This action on the part Of the
Jones Brothers may prevent the build
ing from being erected" said Mr..
Davis last night. 1.-THE men who are
interested in the plan would like to go
right ahead with tho work. There
are a number OF other locations in the
central part of the city which we
would be able to secure, but all of
them would be so tied up with leases
that great delay would result in get
ting possession Of them. Therefore,
the plan may be abandoned.
Mr.. Davis said that the people who
were back of the plan were unwilling
to have their names made public uu-
less deal could be closed for locs-
tier.

UNFORTUNATE WOOL FIGURES.

Our Republican friends are having
a mighty interesting time telling how
the Democratic low tariff hurts the
country and the Republican high tariff
helps it. The Philadelphia North
American is just now devoting its en-
tire campaign to the tariff, apparently
on the theory that Pennsylvania is
liable to go Democratic unless its citi-
zens can be convinced that interfe'-
ence with the present tariff schedules
will ruin them. In a recent issue the
North American presents some wool
figures.
T. says that the consumption Cf
wool in 1929, before the Democrats
got full control of the government, was
01,141, 74S pounds" The same author
ity declares that in 1894, the last year
the Mckinley bill was in force, the
consumption of wool was just 397, 193
O69 pounds The Democratic menace
to the business CT the nation" says
the North American, reduced cCnsumD-
ton by nearly 90 per cent" Could
anything before far fetched?
The Mckinley tariff mind you. WIS
in full force and effect. Not a syllable
not a punctuation mark in it had been
disturbed. The people needed wool
en- goods as badly as ever; they were
as willing as ever to purchase. AMI
they would have purchased except for
one thing. They didn't have the
money because Republican policies ha /
deprived them Of it. because the storm
that had been gathering during the
preceding two Republican years was
about to break.
Now let US turn to the years under
the Wilson bill, taking our figures from
the North American. This authority
says that in S94-95, the first year Of
the Democratic tariff, the consumption
of wool was 524,722,+2S pounds or u
wards Of $4,000, 900 pounds more than
under the Mckinley tariff before the
Democrats secured control Of the M
tional administration. In 1867, St.
under the Wilson bill, the wool con
sumption reached the tremendous tOta
of GA ,627,365 pounds, over I13,0O0,00'
pounds more than under the McKinle.
bill before the Democratic menace Il
the business of the nation" arrived.
But. saws the North American, TIL
reason the figures advanced to that eZ
tent was that Mckinley was electe
president in 1896 and everybody kneT
that good times were coming" NOV
doesn't that strike you as being just
little absurd? Did anybody know j
1S94-95 that Mr.. Mckinley would b
elected in 1896? Can the increase
that year be accounted for in any sue
way? Certainly not. And did III
mere election of Mckinley in 1896 pr
money into the pockets of the peopl
and enable them to buy wooden clOt
ing?
If the North American expects i
readers to believe any such twaddle
gives them small credit for intel
gence

PREsERvERS HARD TO GET At
AND FELL TO PIECES AT
CRITICAL TIMES.
LIST OF KNOWN DEAD NOW 9o7
POLICE ESTIMATE THAT THE
TOTAL DEAD WILL REACH
ABOUT, LOCO.

new 1OrK, June Z5.-MuCh or the
testimony given at the inquest yester-
day into the Gen. Slocum disaster
went to show that the life preservers
on that steamer were almost useless.
At least half dozen witnesses de.
scribed how difficult those life pre-
servers were to get at, and how they
fell to pieces at critical times. Paul
Liebenow, passenger on the Slocum
who lost six members of his family in
the disaster. declared that when the
wires by which the preservers were
secured in the racks would not give,
he took hold Of the preservers and
they crumbled like so many soda
crackers.
Reuben H. Tudor testified that sew
eral bodies floated in with life pre-
servers on. To test one of them, he
said, he pulled 1t to pieces with his
finger nail. He still had the life pre-
server in his possession and promised
to send it to the district attorneys OF.
fee.
Much Powdered Cork.
Other witnesses told of similar ex-
periences with the life saving appa-
ratus on the Slocum, and of the great
amount of powdered cork that floated
on the water after the steamer was
beached.
Capt. Van Schaick was brought into
the court room on stretcher. He ap-
parently was suffering greatly, but ex-
pressed willingness to undergo an
examination by the coroner. He was
ordered back to the hospital, however.
and his examination postponed until
next week.
The hull Of the wrecked Slocum was
raised yesterday. A great deal of
water was pumped out of the hold. A
search was made for bodies, but none
was recovered. At the next full tide
THE hulk will be taken further in
shore. A thorough exploration Of the
wreckage has not yet been made, and
1t is possible that to-day bodies will
be found in the ENHANCEMENT of tim
bers and machinery.
Known Dead Now COZ.
Twenty-four additional bodies were
recovered yesterday, bringing the to-
tai number of known dead up to 9O7.
One hundred policemen who have

mated the total number of dead. in
Guiding the missing, at about 1000.
He said that the police in many in.
stances found at their homes persons
who have been officially missing since
the day the steamer was burned. In
one case man, his wife and two chill
dren, whose names had appeared in
al the published lists of missing, were
found at their home. They had not
been on the excursion at all, and the
elders were not even aware that they
