Regarded as Tenement Houses.


Most of the apartment houses built in
this city ought not to be called apartment
houses at all. They are really tenement
houses and the name apartment is mis-
homer as applied to them. Recently in
Berlin an effort was made to induce the
council to permit the construction of high
er buildings But the council decided
against the proposition on the grounds
both of morals and health
Senator Newlands declared emphatically
that IT is the desire to make Washington a
model city, both from the point OF SANTA
ton and appearance, and that there Is no
need for crowding in the District of Co
lumbia He also believed that 10 per cent
allowance for air and light is too small.
1T believe the time will come" said the
senator. that for every block of building
in this city there will be block of park. "
Mr. Hackett suggested that When applca-
ton is made for the erection OF an apart
ment house In the middle of block that
the Commissioners should consider The
question from the aspect tnat apartneut
houses might be erected on the ad]oinlhs
lots and that adequate space shold be pro-
vided on each side of the large structure.
He doubted that the Commissioners nave
the right to limit the height of buildings TO
less than the maximum height specified in
the act of Congress.
Mr.. Cooper's View.
Mr.. Cooper argued that In the construc-
ton of apartment houses provision is made
for supplying light and air in other ways
than just from the sides. He believed that
builders ought to be permitted to use their
property as they desired, without being pre-
vented by the desires of other property
owners. The erection of apartment houses
he held to be perfectly legitimate and not
AN improper use of the land of the owners
of apartment houses.
Architect Dessez and Mr.. Smith were Of
the opinion that thirty per cent of the lot
should be reserved for air space in the case
of apartment house construction, and Col.
Fleming Endorsed that opinion.
Commissioner West asked Mr.. Smith
question, the answer to which caused
smile.
Mr.. Smith," said Mr.. West. don't You
believe that the restriction of the building
of long rows of houses such as have re-
Gently been erected in Washington Heights,
would be a benefit to the city,"
WELL" said Mr.. Smith, hesitating 81
don't know; believe that question is not
up before US at this time"
At the close of the speeches the citizens
suggested that a committee be appointed to
frame regulations and the action previously
indicated was taken.

Interurban Protests on Great Northern
Crossing WinnebagO Reserve.
HEARING SET Fox July TWENTY-FIVE
Insists Survey of Great Northern -
such that IL viii Render Opera
tion of Interurban Road
ImpracticnbIe.
fFrom a san correspondentl

WASHINGTON, d. c., June S0.-(Special
Telegram )-The Winnebago Indian res
ervation seems to ne destined to be the
scene OF a battle royal. not only between
those opposed to the sale of liquor, but the
construction of several railroads through
the reservation as we'll The question of
right-of-way privileges across the Wnne-
bago reservation in Eastern Nebraska has
brought the controversy before the De-
partment of the Interior. The case is an
interesting one, and has been several
months developing to its present crisis A
year or two ago the Sioux City, Homer &
Southern railroad secured right-of-way
across the reservation with the announced
purpose Of constructing an interurban road
from Sioux City south to Omaha, There
has been reports previous to this that the
Great Northern designed an extension over
a very similar route of its line from Sioux
City to Omaha The Sioux City. Homer &
Southern proceeded to construct few
miles of it's line, but not on the reserva-
ton, and then fell into financial difficulties
and construction was suspended. Mean
time the Great Northern matured it's
plans, made surveys and prepared to build
Its line from Sioux City to a connection
with the Burlington & Missouri. Applica-
ton was made few weeks ago to the In
dian office for right-of-way across the
Winnebago reservation. Under the law the
department may not grant second right-of-
way across a reservation, parallel to one
already granted, and within ten miles of
II, unless there be showing of especial
public necessity for the construction Of the
second road. In this case the Sioux City,
Homer & Southern protested, insisted on
its good faith and desire to carry out its
plans, showing the Great Northern survey
crossed the right-of-way of their company
at number of places and produced con-
dftions that would make 1t practically i'm
possible to operate either road successfully
on the proposed routes.
Today application was received from 10.
seph Grove, attorney for the Sioux City
Homer & Southern company asking that a
! date be fixed for oral argument of the
matter before Judge Campbell. Accord
| ingly July 25 was set for the hearing al
| which time Thomas r. Benton of st. Pau
will appear on behalf of the Great North
| ern.
Meantime the whole plans of the Great
| Northern are in allegiance. The proposed
| Great Northern Ene is link of great i'm
| portance to that system because 1t woulC
| connect the Great Northern and the Bur
| lington roads, both controlled by Hill anc
! perfect Hill system from Kansas City
to Sioux City, ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Du
luth and the head of the lakes.

BIG STORM AT PHILLIPSBURG
Ohio OIL Man Who Was Through
the Wind TeIIa of His
Exnerience.

]. r. Haskins of Lima, O., formerly with
the Standard OIL company, is at the Muir
ray. He had the novel experience of pass
ing through the recent storm at Phillips
burg, Kan. He says: "I was sound asleep
on the train when the storm arose and the
roar of the wind and noise of the buildings
falling awoke me. We got on the train and
tried to see the effect of the storm, but
everything was so dark that only the faint
est outlines could be distinguished. Up TO
the time we left only three of the dead
had been discovered, although several were
missing. Wreckage on the track kept us
waiting for an hour"
He says the great lack OF the Kansas oil
fields so far has been pipe lines, but that
this will be remedied as soon as the Stand
ard gets its lines in operation. He says
there is little doubt that these lines will
be made common carriers, as provided by
legislation, but the company will fight as
long as they can. OIL development is rather
quiet in all parts of the country except in
Indian Territory. Kansas will push the
wells hard as soon as the carrying facili-
ties are in operation. Mr.. Haskins has re-
Gently visited the Black Hills, where he Is
developing a number of contracts for ar
| tesian water.
