MONEY MUST BE IN HAND.
No Ground Broken for Y. M. G. A
building Until Fund is Subscribed

The directors of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association decided yesterday not to
break the ground for the new $500 900 build
ing until the last cent of the cost is sub
scribed There is $4,000. yet to be raised.
and efforts to complete the fund will be re-
doubled until it is secured.
1t was sound business principle that
moved the directors to take this course
1t is believed also to be the wish of GER
tain of the donors especially Messrs
Rockefeller Converse and Peabody.
In the case of the latter 1t is absolutely
essential that the fund be promptly com
pleted or he will withdraw his conditional
offer which was for 5000.
Two Thousand dollars was offered condl-
tionally by a prominent business man OF
this city who desired that his name De not
mentioned He writes as follows
II have no disposition to fix time limit
to my subscription, and it, may stand until
withdrawn by me before the only condl-
tion which I attach to it is fulfilled, to wit:
That $500, 600 be subscribed l would not
however encourage entering upon the new
building till the money to pay for 1t IN full
is pledged l abhor debts.
This is exactly the principle on which the
directors decided they should act. and
therefore the remaining $1,000 will be
raised before hammer or shovel Is lifted TO
construct the new building.

Japan's Latest Note Said to Be Con-
ciliatory-Russian Warships
at Port Said.
BELIEF IN WAR NOW

BERLIN, January 13.-Ofical opinion re-
garding the probability of war between
Russia and Japan has suddenly changed.
Intelligence received at the foreign office
yesterday has caused the government, for
the first time since the controversy began,
to believe that the situation is extremely
tense.
The very definite views hitherto held are
reversed, and war has become proximate
contingency, according to the view held in
official circles here. Japan's delay in an
swering Russia's last note is deemed here
as being a symptom that grave decision
is under consideration.
LONDON, January 13.-A special dispatch
from Toxic says the ministers who attended
the recent conferences for the consideration
of the reply to the Russian note assert
that the attitude Japan has taken up is
remarkably conciliatory.'
PORT SAID, Egypt, January 13.-The
Russian cruiser Aurora has arrived here.
Later the Russian cruiser Dmitri Dom
skof and seven Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers arrived here.

URGES NEW DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Root Devoting Closing Days
to Securing Legislation Therefor.

Secretary Root is devoting the closing
days of his administration to an earnest
effort to secure legislation for the creation
of new department Of the army, TO De
known as the military secretary's depart
ment and to be formed of the present ad-
iutant generals department and the record
and pension office.
Not since the original proposition for the
creation of a general staff has any measure
affecting the army created so much interest
and comment in military circles the one
now pending in Congress providing for the
practical absorption of the adjutant gen.
erals department by the record and pension
office
The bill to that end was prepared by Sec
rotary Root and has been introduced in
both houses of Congress by Senator Proc
tor and Representative Hull of the military
committees.
The project is one of the results Of the
operation of the general staff system which
has served to deprive the historic adjutant
generals department of all It's former inn
portant duties and responsibilities and left
the officers of that department with merely
clerical functions.
The main reason for the change Is stated
to be that under the existing system the
records and correspondence OF the militai
establishment are divided between the adj
and pension office, resulting in partial
duplication of work and delay in the adj
ministration OF business
1t is proposed that the consolidated bu-
reau shall constitute one department of the
army, the chief of which shall be the senior
officer of the two consolidated bureaus, who
shall continue in his present rank and have
the title of military secretary. The first
incumbent of the new Office will be Brig.
Gen Fred. C. Ainsworth, now chief of the
record and pension office.
1t is also provided in the bill that Mai.
Gen. Corbin shall retain the Office of al
iutant general until his retirement ard
that the vacancy then created snail not be
filed and that no officer of eithe~ OF the
bureaus affected is to be deprived of his
commission or his present title.
Another provision is that the officers of
the consolidated departments shall be sub
ject to the supervision of the chief of staff
1t is understood that Col. William P. Hall,
the senior officer of his grade in the adj
jutant generals department and who has
performed the duties of adjutant general
since Gen. Corbin's transfer to the COM
mand of the department of the east, Is to
be promoted to the grade of brigadier gen.
eral and assigned to duty In the proposed
military secretarys department

of Takoma, and the interment, which will

tive George A. Pearre, Chief Justice Harry

upon Mr.. Machen for a list of persons en-
ployed in the free delivery division There
was considerable wrangling over the ques-
ton and the witness finally admitted that
he could not remember having made any
such request.
Mr.. Machen's Mail.
The question of how many letters came
from Mr. Machens office 10 the office of
the first assistant postmaster general was
brought up by Mr.. Douglass.

Because of Mr. Machen's size?" Mr.
Douglass asked.
"And weight?' District Attorney Beach
suggested, sdrcastically.
mo: II was because Machen resented it"
Did Machen ever refuse you an answer
when you asked him a question:"
NO; he was always ready with answer"
said Mr.. Howley.
Attorney Douglass thought this an insinu-
atior against Mr. Machen. but the witness
declared he did not intend II as such. Mr.
Howley told of Machen's anger when he, the
witness. asserted his authority as chief
clerk 1t was brought out that for several
months before the Post Office Department

Judge Kumler interpolated few ques-
lions that caused Mr.. Holmes Conrad to
suggest that the counsel for defense was
exceeding its bounds, making the witness
its own and subject to characterization
on the part of the government. Attorney
Maddox also asked n question or two OF
witness which brought Mr.. Conrad to his
feet.

An initiated Paper.
A paper recommending the purchase of
fasteners and bearing the supposed initial
of Mr.. Machen was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Howley. The paper had also the
signature of Mr.. Howley as acting first

An exchange says that MANY a
woman goes out shopping dressed in
silk and enveloped in perfume, whose
hard working husband hasn't had a
new suit of clothes or decent meal
in five year s. Yes and many loaf
er stands around on the street with a
sinking pipe in his face; his tank
full Of booze and his mouth full of
profanity, whose hard working wife
hasn't had new dress or kind word
since she was married. This would
be fine for the balance Of the world If
all the silk and prefumed women
would get all the tanks of booze stand

LEARNED MANY THINGS.

Since last New Year we have learn
ed great many new things, says an
exchange. The year 1908 was year
of great activity in several lines Of
thought. We have learned how many
years it would take to run freight
train to the sun, how long it would
take man to pick up million pins,
one at time, and how much he could
make day selling all he picked up at
five cents hundred. We have learned
how many miles flea, jumping foot
and half every ten seconds, can
travel in lifetime, and how long it
would take Coal Oil Rockefeller to
count his money. Then we have
learned that radium costs about
s227, 354, 425, ,765, 843, 718, 299, 316, 1856. Is
per ton wholesale. and that Robinson
Crusoe's man Friday wore moccasins.
A telegraph operator over at Beau
mont, Tex has also figured out how
long it would take to get message to
Mars after they got the wires up. It's
good years work. Keeping up in
vestigations another year we ought to
be able to tell how old Ann will be in
1860, how long it would take hump
backed spider with false teeth and
cork leg to spin web from Tifin, O.,
to Madagascar, how many women die
from the chewing gum habit in a
year, how Santa Claus got his start in
the world, and how long it would
take to reach Bobbies s1ngersoll in an
automobile. And perhaps some day
we might learn something about the
preveL tion and cure of disease. the
avoidance OF warfare, panics and ma
tional calamities, and other matters
that cannot claim our attention at
present.
