was no. wind, but had the fire
department been five minutes
slower, that block would have
been doomed. There are too
many frame building being erect

council should not permit this to
be. New buildings are being
erected daily, with sheet iron
extefiors. A fire within twenty
five feet OF such buildings will set
fire to them and no frecompany

EVIDENCE IN SCHANDEIN CASE
Testimony to show that Woman Was
in Normal Condition when Com
tract Was Made with HeyI.

MILWAUKEE,, oct. 17.-Testlmony bear
ing upon the agreement by which Mrs.
Lizette Schandein gave Jacob Heyl, her
son-in-law, one-half OF the increment Of
the vast Schandein estate was introduced in
the Schandein will contest before Judge
Carpenter today. The evidence is of i'm
portance because of the contetentions made
by the contestants and the special admins
TRAITORS in the circuit court to compel resti-
tuition of 81, 100000 paid and claimed by Heyl
by virtue Of the alleged agreement.
The agreement was made about January
/, 1896, according to Heyl, who prior to that
time had worked for Mrs. Schanden as
manager of her estate. 1t was put into
writing in 1903, firm OF attorneys in Buff
falo taking part in the drawing up OF the
agreement. On the suit to recover money
on the alleged agreement stress is placed
upon the contention that Mrs. Schandeir
was not business woman, that she en-.
trusted her affairs to Heyl and that she de.
clded upon the figures given by him wher
the basis of the division was fixed. Thi;
was answered by Heyl and his attorneys
who alleged that a dislnterested person
Charles w. Suetterle, was called to ex
anime the books about the time the agree
ment was made in writing.
Mr.. Suetterle testified today admitting
that he is not an expert bookIeeper. Mr.
Suetterle testified that he gathered from
the books that the credit from Emil Schan
dein, sr., was 81, 100000 and that the tria
balance in 1903 was 100000 On cross-ex
animation Mr.. Suetterle admitted that HI

Z. NJ. ANDERSEN has returned from Eu-
rope, where he spent the last two months
For several weeks he was in his native
land Of Germany and he travelled in Bel
gium, Holland, England, Scotland and Ire
land. Mr.. ANDERSEN was impressed by the
American tourist invasion OF Europe. He
said:

Germany. according to Mr.. ANDERSEN, is
developing about as rapidly as America,
and is fast getting ahead Of England. The
German merchants are going after the trade
OF the world and are getting a large share
of 1t. They speak three or four languages
and send their clerks over the world to
learn foreign tongues. They are able to
converse with the South American, African
and Asatic peoples in their own tongues.
and have a great advantage in this respect
over the British merchants, who In their
stiff-necked pride in the English language
have refused TO learn other languages.
Yet an awakening is taking place among
the English said Mr.. ANDERSEN.
Mnrconi Message on Birthday.
The first day out on the return voyage
was Mr.. Andreesen's birthday. He did not
think of it, but was reminded of the occa-
sion at the breakfast table by the receipt
Of Marconisraph from his daughter, Mrs
Luther Kountze, In Omaha. He replied
with a message which Mrs Kountze re-
ceived as she was eating breakfast,
On the same boat with Mr. ANDERSEN
was Horace G. Burt, former president Of
the Union Pacific, who is returning to
America after two years trip around the
world. Mr.. Burt said he was anxious to
get to work and would begin to look around
for something to do Immediately on reach

ceived the impression that Mr.. Burt in

VIII Not Treat with the
Strikers.

HAZLETON, Pa Oct 1.-THE strike OF
the driver boys at the Jeddo collieries of
G. B. Markle & Co., which occurred few
days ago, has resulted in the strike of 1900
employees of the Markle company. The boys
quit work because they claimed that the
wages they were receiving were under the
standard. A committee waited upon the
officials of the company and asked to have
the matter adjusted. The superintendent
of the company declined TO consider the
grievance of the drivers on the ground that
they had quit work before properly lodging
their complaint, thereby violating one OF
the awards of the strike committee.
A mass meeting was held last night and
1t was decided by the miners to suspend
all work today.

Reduction of Dividends.
After taking up the question of the reduc-
ton of dividends Mr.. Hughes read long
list Of policy numbers, with the amounts
of the face of the policy, what had been
paid in and the dividends received by the
policyholders, Asked what he had to say to
these Mr. McCurdy said: Figures don't
lie, but liars can figure He then hastily
explained that he meant that facetiousy
and that he would be glad to verify the
figures The only explanation for a specific
instance of a reduction OF dividends Mr..
McCurdy gave was that he supposed the
polioyholder had a reduced rate policy.
The legal expenses were again referred to
and number OF vouchers for the payment
OF various sums were read. 1t was brought
out that William Barnes, sr.. of Albany
had appeared before the committee in AL
