NO COAL AND WOOD YARD
ON SIXTEENTH STREET

The question of a coal and wood yard
on Sixteenth street has again arisen.
Petitioners have protested to the Dis
trict Commissioners against the estab-
llsment of such yard at 1922 Sixteenth
street northwest.
The complainants, ali OF whom live
between 4 and l. streets, on Sixteenth h
street, state that an office of the William
j. Zeh Company, Incorporated. has been
located on the premises in question, and
within 300 feet of their residesces. Ad-
joining the Office there is q large unim-
proved lot, which. for many years prior
TO last autumn, was used by William
King & Son for the storage of wood
and coal for delivery.
The petitioners believe the lot is again
to be occupied for similar purposes
They urge thar the beauty and value
OF Sixteenth street as 4 residence street
should not be marred
Colonel Biddte, an enthusiast in favor
OF the Sixteenth street boulevard has
replied that no coal or wood yard can
be located within fifty feet Of any build
ing without the written consent of the
owners of three-fourthS of the real es-
tate within 200 feet of the proposed site.
except in the case of sample yard al
which the owner may keep not more
than three tons of coal, and one cord
of wood.

ton From Heat

the subject If buying supplies for the
Panama Canal construction will be
either segregated and placed under
guard, or else bound in heavy asbestos
with calf trimmings for ornamentation,
TO relieve what might otherwise be re-
garded as an inartistic severity.
Further announcement of details is
awaited with much interest
II Is thought that as soon as all the

danger of setting each other on fire. a
movement may be taken up to build an
asbestos sea wall along the Potomac to

GenzeI wanted Gonzei. jr., to grow up
"A nice young man. she had dressed

1t is announced that as a protection
against fire. some of the documents of
the Treasury Department will hereafter
be bound in asbestos covers, and there
has been considerable interest in the
obvious possibilities of the plan of max
ing the public bindery an assistant fire

Comment ranges from the impression
that Secretary Shaw Presidential boom
is in need of protection from the heat
which its own rapid pace has developed.
TO the suggestion that the Treasury lit
erature Is In mere danger of fire by
spontaneous combustion than of confia-
grafton superinduced by any external
cause It is explained that certain ac-
counting records have been the first
documents subjected to the new fire.

WOULD JOIN UNION
Of CIGARMAKERS
Stokes to Be Member Of
Miss Pastors Local.
BOTH ATTEND A MEETING
He Praises Labor Organizations and
Promises to Work to Educate
the Oppressor.
BOTH ATTEND A MEETING

7 NEW YORK, June 81 G. Phelps
Stokes. member OF the wealthy family
OF that name, who is engaged in settle
ment work on the east side, has been
proposed for honorary membership in
the International CIgarmakers' Union,
of which Miss Rose Pastor, whom he is
soon to marry, is already 4 member.
After his name had been proposed the
point was raised that his admission to
the union would be in violation of the
constitution of that body. It was an
nounced that al amendment to the con-
sfitutlon would be offered to cover the
case and that Mr.. Stokes would then be
eligible
Attend Meeting.
This action was taken at a meeting Of
local No. 13 of the union at which Mr.
Stokes end Miss Pastor were present
They we're greeted with enthusiasm.
Miss Pastor was prevailed upon 10 re-
late some OF her experiences while she
vas earning her living as cisarmaker.
When she had finished Mr.. Stokes was
called upon to speak. He made an ad-
dress in praise of trades unionfsm.
Praise for Unionism.
.Tt is of great benefit to The masses,
he said
These who are unjust suffer as much
AS those who are wronged. They lack
the consciousness of life work well
done I thoroughly believe in unionism.
fhe day is coming when unions will
lot have to strike.
Man arrayed against man creates in
justice. When men fight against other
men they commit grave error. Indi-
Yiduals Intss be shown the injustice
of internal strife.
False Educational System.
Most people today he continued,
"are victims Of false educational sys-
tenn. They have become saturated with
false notions OF justice We should be
charitable even TO those who do wrong
1T is possible To educate human sentt-
ment among the oppressors. It Is pos
eible TO make the oppressors realize the
extent of the wrong they are doing.
Il will do all I can to bring about an
ackno oWledgement of wrong ana TO
demonstrate the neediessness of the
suffering all about us. / expect TO be
assisted IN this work by Miss Pastor
when she becomes my wife. which
hope. will be very soon. 1 am glad to
see that she is q trades unionist'

Extension Is Anticipated.

Extension of the asbestos overcoat
fashion to the War Department is anti
cipated at an early date. as means of
protecting Secretary Taft's domain. The
fnmtnence of a head-on collision of the
Presidential landslides now claiming
their habftats. respectively. at the Treas
ury and War Departments. has increas-
ed the fire hazard 10 such a point that
either asbestos or insurance at ruinous
rates seems absolutely necessary.
The ordinary means OF hrc-hghtfng
would not be employed in such case
for reasons which relate L official
etiquette. The impropriety of turning IN
d general alarm and summoning tho fire
department TO turn cold water on pair
of superheated Presidential cdndtdactes
is obvious; and recognition of this i'm
propriety may have been responsible
for adoption Of the new fashion in bind
ings.
Views Need Segregation.

cannot be rated as more than semi-ofH
cial. that Secretary shaw's views on

He knows nothing about the latest develop

longer president of the society. When the profits
of the underwriting syndicates were returned on
June % by Henry NJ. Alexander, his father was
not aware that 1t had been done, a friend OF
the ex-president's said last night.
Mr.. Alexander was taken so i'll on June 10 that
he was unable to come down to the Equitable

A close friend of Mr.. Alexanders last night

he dropped down into the water alongside him

Mr.. DEXTER GTVES $40, ,OO0
His Contributions to Historical So
ciety Building Noz0 $245, 900.

A gift Of $4,000 was received yesterday by
Samuel Verplanck Hoffman, president of the
New-York Historical Society. toward the erec-
ton of it's home, between 10th and 77th
SITS. Central Park West. The gift made by
Henry Dexter, who has already given $4,000
in cash toward the building fund and granite
for the front of the building. Mr.. Hoffman said
that Mr.. Dexter's gifts in all equivalent to
$245 600
This gift, Mr., Hoffman said, would be spent on
the erection OF the four walls of the central
portion of the building and to put on per
manent roof. That does not incldde the in
terror finish of the building. The society has
about $4,000 but needs 100000 more to COM
pete the central portion of the building. The
two wings will cost 100000 more
Mr.. Hoffman said that Mr. Dexter's gift was
particularly welcome at the present time and
that work would be pushed the building. The
basement and first story would be completed nd
ready for occupancy in the fall. and the second
and third stories would be finished with the
rough walls.
Regarding the 100000 needed to complete the
central portion, Mr. Hoffman said there was an
opportunity for some public spirited person to
finish off a room, the library for instance and
have il known a memorial room. In the two
wings the erection of which would cost $350OOO
each some persons would also find oppor-
tunity TO build memorials which would last.
The Historical Society has from thirteen hur-
dred to fourteen hundred members and is COR
stantly growing. Under its charter it cannoE
go into debt, and its building operations are
therefore limited to the money in its treasury
