MCCORMICK WILL
BUILD AN ANNEX

OTHERS WILL JOIN TO BUILD
STRONG DEMAND FOR VACANT
STORE ROOMS DOWNTOWN.

tkI S. MCCORMICK is planning 10
wv. build an annex TO his fine Office
building on the corner Of Main
and First South streets. He has just
completed the purchase from the ray
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Lumber COM
pany of a piece OF ground with "a 'front.'
age of twenty feet on Main street and
adjoining his property on the north,
The price paid for this property was
81 500 a front foot, perhaps the highest
price ever paid for business property
that far north on sMain street The
amount paid for the lot was $50, 600
and this represents the value of the
ground alone as the building is prac-
tically worthless.
This piece of ground had a special
value to Mr.. Mccormick as he was
anxious that no high building be erect
ed adjoining him on the north and thus
shut off the light and ventilation from
his principal building. He was also
badly in need Of more room TO take
care OF the overflow from the main
building, which is crowded with ten
ants.
Mr.. Mccormick is not certain as to
the time of starting work on his new
building. L. s. Hills and the D. II.
Peery estate are also planning TO build.
They own 100 feet frontage on the
north of the piece just purchased by
Mr.. Mccormick. Their intention is TO
build d substantial twO-story block
covering the entire ground and Mr.
Mccormick will join hands with them
i'm the enterprise. The Improvement
will cost i'm the neighborhOOd of $50, 600

Mayor Weaver returned to his office
today after an absence from the city Of
several days. With regard TO Governor
Pennypacker calling a special session

Governor Pennypacker's action is
worthy of the highest praise. 1t Is a
prompt and statesmanlike recognition
of the will Of the people expressed in
unmstakable terms and by the consti-
tutional mcthod-the ballot.
Il protest against any doubt or sus-
picion being east upon the sincerity
and high purpose of the governor in
converting the assembly TO enact needed
reforms. His omission Of ballot reform
as a subject for legislation is probably
to be regretted. but am confident the
governor will supply this omission II 1t
is demonstrated 10 him that IL ought
TO be included in his proclamation. L
would not, however, have this under
stood as d criticism of his action, for
what he has done is all pTaisewOrthy
and in accordance with the estimate
have always entertained of his fidelity

of democratic institutions Now let the
legislators do their duty and let the
acts that may be passed be the result
of best thought of ali the friends of
reform, of whatever party name or al
legiance,"

We're interrogated along the line Of

director of the Metropolitan Life.
The low rate at which Mr.. Hegeman
secured loans from the old firm of Yer

members of that firm, which since has
gone out of business. This firm was
the banker Of the Metropolitan Life,
but since last March the business has
been taken over by William A. Reale
& Co. Mr.. Reale was d witness today
and said that Mr.. Hegeman got these
