THE STEEL FRAME COLLAPSED.
Overlooking the Floors of Building In
Course Of Construction Caused the
Loss of Several Lives.

New York, March 3.-Fourteen per-
sons are believed to have been killed,
of whom the bodies Of only five have
been recovered, about score injured
and several are missing through the
collapse yesterday Of the steel skele-
ton Of the Hotel Darlington. history
apartment house In course OF erection
at 81 West Forty-sixth street. The
steel frame work had been erected as
far as the eleventh floor and the struc-
ture was swarming with iron workers.
masons and laborers, when, without
an instant's warning, the upper floor
sagged and collapsed and the whole
structure fell with a crash that was
heard for blocks and shook all the
buildings in the vicinity. A portion
of the steel frame fell upon the rear
of the Hotel Patterson, on West Forty
seventh street, crushing in the wall OF
the dining room aud killing Mrs. Ella
Lacey Storrs, the wife of Frank Storrs,
wealthy resident of Rye, Westch ester
county, as she was sitting at luncheon
with the wife of Rev. DR.. Minot Saw
age, who escaped unhurt
The cause of the accident was the
overlooking Of the floors. That crimi-
nal carelessness Is chargeable to some
body is shown by the fact that the
building department had placed repeat
ed violations" against the building.
the last one being filed yesterday at
the instance Of Inspector Charles
French, because "the side walls were
more than two stories in advance Of
the front walls and the floor beams
were not properly bolted and tied"

REED SHOOT INQUIRY
An Effort Made to Get at the Sc
crets Of Mormonism.
PRESIDENT SMITH on The STAND.
The Head Of the Mormon Church Declared
He Beloved In PoIygamy-The senate
Considers the Philippine Bil-Dis-
trict of Columbia Bill In House.

Washington, March 3.-An earnest
effort to get at the secrets OF the MOI
mon faith was manifested in the first
days proceedings before the senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which is investigating the protests
against Reed Smoot retaining his seat
as a senator from Utah. President
Joseph D. Smith, the highest Official
Of the church, was on the stand all
day. He was questioned closely In re-
gard to the principles of divine rela-
lions. He said he adhered absolutely
to all the teachings of the church In
that regard and that he himself had
been visited with divine inspirations
from God directing him as to details
in matters pertaining to the welfare
of the church, though no angels had
come to him, as in the case OF the
revelation to his. uncle, Joseph Smith,
Jr.. the founder Of the church. He
subscribed to the standard Of authority
for the church in relation to the reve-
lation commanding polgamy, as made
known to the first president In visit
from IAN angel in black" He also
said that he still believed in polygamy.
The testimony was directed In slight
degree at Senator Smoot and no at
tempt was made by the defense to cur
tail the admission of testimony until
President Smith was questioned in re-
lation to polygamous habitation OF GER
tain officials of the church before the
manifesto Of 1890. The attorneys then
objected and much time was devoted
to the testimony. The committee then
went into executive session and after
full discussion determined to allow
the utmost latitude to the hearings,
which means that court practices will
be avoided. The protestants said they
regarded this as a victory for them.
The committee will hear practically all
the prosecution has to offer and deter
mine itself what is competent. They
will hold daily session.
Proceedings in Congress.
Washington, March 3.-The bill for
the regulation Of Philippine shipping
was again the principal subject of con-
sideration by the senate yesterday. 1t
was made the subject Of discussion
and was amended so as to defer for
year the time when the bill shall take
effect. Senator Carmack contended
that there had been no adequate re-
turns for the $6OO,O00,O0O spent by the
United States on the Philippines, which
he pronounced "the most worthless
possession that ever rotted under
tropical sum-" He predicted that In
time the islands would have to be
paid for not only in treasure, but
in blood"
A large number Of private pension
bills were passed.
Senator Dietrich introduced bill
permitting the leasing Of public lands
In the state of Nebraska for grazing
purposes and increasing from 100 to
$40 acres the area of land that can be
entered by one person under the home
stead laws.
The house devoted the entire day to
consideration Of the District Of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill. but did not
conclude action on the measure.

in the school and college for boys. AL though not one boy in a thousand will become a scholar. yet it is well that the purpose Is general If one boy in a thou sand becomes a scholar. one girl in ten thousand becomes scholar. Small is the chance that my boy will become a scholar, and SO inanitesimal Is the chance that my daughter will become a scholar that I have the right, and perhaps am bound by the duty of, eliminating 1t from my calculations. But if my daughter can not become a scholar, there Is one thing which my daughter may become; she may become q thinker. 1t is as much more important, as it Is more probable. For the opportunities for use of scholar ship are few, sporadie; but the oppor- tinities for the use of the power Of thinking are constant In no better way can I prepare my daughter to undertake the joys and responsibilities of the head ship of a home, either for herself alone or for herself in combination with others, than by making her thinker. The ap- preeiation of others needs Is most read fly secured by thinking. Wise thought fulness saves, or helps to save, one from selfishness. Effective economy, or eeono- mic efficiency, is the result of discrimina- ton, and discrimination is a form of thinking. Attention to details Is primarily in intellectual quality. The largeness of conception which my daughter should embody in her life in the home repre- sents the power of thought. Therefore wish my daughter to think.

 Fstimating eonservatively, however, 1t is plain to those who have been to the exnosition and studied 1t that 1t is not going to cost a great deal of money for one to do the falr Say, for instance, that a man comes to St. Louis to remain fifteen days His board and lodging for the fifteen days will cost him ssS 75-
 His daily admission to the fair grounds will cost him S.50. This will bring his total I'D to s4i .25. Add to this an allow ance of Ss for attractions on the Pike. That will bring the figure up to S49 20. Incidental expenses, such as car rare on the city lines fares on the Intra-mural, the exposition catalogue, building cata- logues etc, should not be more than $lO. These estimates place the visitor ex- pense for flfteen-day visit to the fair at q figure under s6o and within those fif- teen days he will have seen large part of the exposition.
 Giving half day to each of the exhibit palaces. he will have only spent about seven days in seeing the indoor attrac- tions. He will have eight days left for the outdoor and Pike attractions, and eight days, with nothing for the visitor to do but to see things and hear things, should be ample time for the exposition patron to get a good return for his money.
 In the same length of time, however, one can easily spend twice as much money. If he has a great appetite, his meals may cost him $2 instead of $l. 20. He may spend s2 a day for a room ir- stead of s1. He may spend $16 for Pike shows instead of Ss. He may drink lots of red lemonade and eat lots of popcorn, and many run his incidental expenses LID to $20 instead of $10 He may venture downtown and spend a great deal of money on the tempting attractions that are offered there, and find. at the end of fifteen days that even $i00 has not been sufficient amount.

 With all social barriers down. hand in hand and heart to heart, the millions of Japan are morking for one common end the crushing defeat of Russia and the glory of their country In victory.
 The practical, everyday side of the situ- ation, divested of possibly fine-spun theories is that the wealthy and aristo- cratic men and women are working with the humber classes to organize relief and aid societies.
 The oldest and best known of these Is the national Red Cross Society, founded in 1887 by the government, and presided over by his Imperial Highness. Prince Komatsu. until his death a year ago. The present president is his Imperial Highness, Prince Kanin. The organiza- ton is supported by the subscriptions of the members, who number between one and two millions; 1t has, at the present time, a large reserve fund of between three and four million dollars gold.
 The Red Cross Society has a brahch or auxiliary known as the Ladies Volun- teer Nursing Association, which was es- tablished shortly after the parent so- ciety
 An interesting fact Is that all the prin- cesses of royal blood are enlisted among It's members and practically all the ladies of the nobility Marchioness Nabeshima is the president and manager of the so- ciety There are four hundred women in Tokyo alone who are both contributing members and actual worlters. and the as- soclation has branches all over the em- pre, including the island of Formosa.
