THREE STORIES TO
ELKS BUILDING
Building Committee Held a Con-
ference With Architect.
Plans Expected IN ~ Week or Ten
Days--work 10 Begin IN May
Sometime.
No HOTEL TO BE BUILT

A conference last night between
members of the Elks Building As
ISOLATION and Architect Kenneth Me
Donald of Louisville, resulted in a
decision to erect smaller building
than was generally anticipated. and
to begin work on II about May or
10Th, II possible.
For the past year or two the Elks
building has been discussed, but ma
decisive steps were ever taken until
now TO begin work on IT, The lodge
has eight or ten thousand dollars in
cash. and owns the property opposite
the Kentucky theater on North Fifth
street on which the Terrell livery
stable Is now located.
II was agreed after talking the
matter over with Mr.. Mcdonald. to
erect a three story pressed brick
structure to cost between 1000
and 100000, not more than the
latter.
The lower 9oor will consist of Office
rooms. the second floor will be club
rooms, and the third floor will be the
lodge rooms.
Architect Mcdonald returned to
Louisville this morning. saying he
would have the plans completed in a
week or ten days. and will come
with them to further discuss the
lulldlng, Two or three more meet
ings OF the architect and building as
ISOLATION may be necessary before
the plans are ready to be submitted
to contractors for bids.
A great many members of the or
der have expected that a larger
building would be erected, some
even wanting a six story hotel struc-
tire, but the association has decided
the smaller one Is what is wanted,
and It will be so built that II can be
enlarged and stories added at any
time.
II Is hoped to have everything
ready to let the contract and break
ground about May ], and not later
than May Is. II is expected to COM
nlete It this year.

THROUGH WINDOW
HIGH SCHOOL PUPIL COMES
NEAR LOSING MS LIFE.
A Playful shove Sent Him Towards
u siyty.Foot Fall, which Was
Narrowly Avercd.

Clark Bondurant. son of Mr.. Joe
Bondurant, of Sixth and Harrison
streets. and grandson of Capt. w. c.
Clark, our representative at Frank
fort, came near being killed while in
the third story of the Washington
school building on West Broadway
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The pupils we're marching down the
stairs after being dismissed for the
day when someone gave the line a
violent shove, and young Bondurant
went headlong through the window
nearby.
A number of the other boys were
thrown on top of him. and this, to-
gether with the action of Miss Elsie
IIoewischer and others. prevented his
falling entirely through to the stone
steps sixty feet below.
The young man was bruised and
had one finger painfully cut by the
broken window glass.
The showing" in line has been GO
ing on for quite while. dangerous
though II be. but II will now be
stopped. as those who have been in
the habit OF doing II have taken
warning from the narrow escape of
their companion. and those who al
lowed II now fully realize the dan
ger.
The young man was at the head
of the line, which was leaving the
third floor. The windows at the end
OF the hall come within six inches Of
the bottom OF the landing of small
eight of steps, the flight of steps
making n turn on this landing. The
boys are in the habit of pushing in
fun, but pushed a little too hard and
young Bondurant was showed
through the window which was al
ready cracked. He started out the
window. clearly of his balance, and
the boys behind hirfswere showed on
his feet, holding him from falling.
Several pupils. including the young
ladies. seeing his perilous position,
aided in pulling him back.
To prevent further accident, the
superintendent of buildings will put
in heavy wire screen in front of the
windows.

BIGGER TUNNELS.
Not Regarded A. Very Necessary by
the Illinois Central.

The talk of cutting out the tun-
nels on the Louisville division of the
l, c. to enable the division to use the
big Atlantic type of engines, does
OF seem to be much favored by the
l. c.
An official stated last night that
the division trains made about as
good time as possible and the bigger
type of engine was used where trains
were extra heavy, and in all proba-
blity would never be used on the
Louisville division, The tunnels will
however, be trimmed out this sprinE
end made little larger.
