AN ORDINANCE TO
CONTROL CONCRETE
BUILDING INSPECTOR TELLS OF.
IMPENDING DANGERS.
Has Discovered that Some Building
Blocks of This Material Are Improp-
erly Made-Proposes to Have the
Manufacture Regulated by Law
Council Will Be Asked to Act.

Building Inspector James G.. Hough-
ton says that poorly made concrete
building blocks will prove a source OF
great trouble in building circles for a
few years and he is framing a new
building ordinance to regulate the
manufacture Of this material.
The building inspector says that a
that unless there is some careful SUI
pervision of the manufacture, poor
material will be used and accidents
will be certain to follow. A good con-
crete block is as good as stone, but a
poor one is worse than an unburned
brick, he says. -
= AS illustrative of the evils that might
creep in, Mr.. Houghton says he called
at building where concrete blocks are
being used, examined the blocks and
found that they were poorly made. A
strong man armed with a big stick
could knock the building down in a
short time, One of the, blocks, was
broken, taken to his office and put
under water tap. In few minutes
the water had soaked it thru and
then it began to crumble and fall
apart. The same thing would happen,
he said, if building were made Of it
and q rainstorm soaked thru. OF
course, all such blocks that had been
uSeQ were OTueleu IeiloSeu 1Aci {.
later investigation developed the fact
that they had been made out of car
load of cement that had been re-
iected by the city engineers office; A
poor grade of sand had also been
used. "
"Most of the concrete blocks are solid
and durable,'' said Mr.. Houghton, "and
this is only an exceptional case, yet. 1T
shows the necessity of city supervision
in the manufacture. In order to insure
a good grade l shall ineorporate IN th e
new ordinance a provision requiring the
under bonds. This think would insure
good MATERIAL
The new building ordinance is rapid
Ily being whipped into shape by Mr.
Houghton and City Attorney Healy, and
will probably be read to the council

SECOND SHADOW ON

SISTER OF ACCUSED MURDERER
WAS A SUICIDE.
Father Of Edward Gottschalk Is a Well
TODD Druggist of Waverly, ILL.,, and
Will Assist His Son in Clearing Him
self of the Charge Now Hanging Over
Him. >

Edward Gottschalk, under arrest III
St. Paul as the murderer of Christian
Schindeldecker, is the son of well-to-do
and respectable parents. His father is
druggist of Wayerly, Ill, and has
written to st. Paul saying that he would
attend the trial of his son and would
give him financial assistance.
This is not the first time that a TRACE
dy has cast it's shadow over the Colts
chalk home. Several years ago sister
of the man now under arrest committed
suicide, at Waverly, by throwing herself
into cistern at her fathers home.
She was beautiful apd talented young
woman and dependency resulting
from illness was thought to be the cause
Of the suicide. o..
. Stan j. Donnelly, Gottschalk' attor-
sney, says that he is confident that he
can acquit his client. The arrest of
Joseph Hartman, suspected of com
plicity in the murder Of Schindeldecker,
seems as distant as ever. Since, he left
ST.. James, where he was recognized by
an Omaha engineer, the police have been
unable to find the slightest trace of
him. {,

E. j. Westlake Of the Commercial club

The call states that the citizens of

RIVERS now in
HENNEPIN JAIL
CoLoRED ACTOR ARRIVES IN GUS
TODY OF SHERIFF.
J. Frank Wheaton. Formerly Of Min
neapolis, Will Defend Him Against
Charge Of Numbering Richard Con-
nor at the Bijou Theater-Prisoner
Says Shooting Was an Accident.

Ike Rivers, the colored actor accused
Of the murder of Richard Conner at
the Bijou theater last month, is lodged
in the Hennepin county Jail. Accom-
panied by Sheriff j. w. Dreger and
Deputy Sheriff George 10th, the pris-
oner arrived in the city about noon
and was taken directly to the court
house and the jail. He probably will
be arraigned tomorrow morning.
The defendant lis well-read and
widely Travelled colored boy and he
has friends in the east who will see
that he does not lack funds nor the best
legal talent to get him out of his pres
ent trouble. He was held in New
York at the country residence of Ralph
>Tilton, one Of the proprietors of the
Delineator. Mr.. Eastman of the Chi
cago Journal is also interested and
will. back the accused.
j. Frank Wheaton, formerly Of Min
neapolls and now practicing law IN
New York city, has been retained as
counsel in the case and will soon come
on to take charge Of his client s inter
ests. Rivers, evidently under orders
from his lawyer, will not discuss his
case. He simply said this morning:
"The shooting of Conner was an &C.
cident and l hope my trial will vindi'
cate me. I was eager to come and am
anxious to have my trial.
w. R. Norris, who accompanied
Assistant County Attorney Dahl to
Pittsburg to secure evidence against
Rivers from members of the Williams
& Walker theatrical company, arrived
in the city this morning. He says that
the trip was successful and that, with
out trouble, he and Mr.. Dahl secured
statements from all the witnesses to the
hand IN Minneapolis plis'o Whenever 1e they e3
are wanted. Mr.: Dahl will return to
morrow ..a,-
