BUSINESS MEN SET ABOUT TO

Spokane Contractors Lose on Bank of
Connell Building-A Total Loss in
All Probability.

Despite the enormous loss sustain-

Der of insurance adjusters have ar
rived and the work of adjusting the
losses is progressing rapidly.
The Bank of Connell building, which
was so near completion that it was
to have been occupied in a week or
ten days, is going to prove total loss
in all probability 1t was a handsome
two-story building, costing $4,000, and
still owned by the Spokane cOntrac-
tors; it was partially insured. The
entire north wall fell out and rope
is now stretched around the building
to keep passersby out a safe distance.
So far the contents Of safes have
been found in a good condition, but
the Bank of Connell is in peculiar
predicament When the Manganese
steel safe was closed the time lock
was set, which mas resulted in render
ing it impossible to open it. An ex-
pert from Spokane was brought down.
with the result that it was decided
that the safe and it's contents will
have to go to the factory in New
York. A new safe will be sent back
in exchange partially, for the old one.
When it is opened the bank, of course,
gets the contents.
1t is an assured fact that the o. R.

CUT OFF STEPSON.
Baking Powder Millionaire Left His
Wife's Child Small Pittance.

NEW YORK, July 31.-A story of
the vagaries of fortune is revealed by
the suit of Mrs. William Ziegler to
break the will of the Baking Powder
King" which left $3O,OOO,O0O to an
adopted son only fourteen.
Mrs. Ziegler's only child, a son by
a former husband named Gamble, who
she had long hoped would be raised to
riches by her union with Ziegler, was
cut off with a pittance of $4,000 year.
The widow herself was cut off with
an annuity of $4,000 year and two
houses. one at No. ga Fifth avenue,
this city, the other at NorOton, Conn.
Negotiations for compromise or
Mrs. Ziegler's suit have been begun. 1t
was said yesterday in Brooklyn that
settlement was to be striven FOR
within a week in order to prevent
sensational disclosures.
Widow Offered 100000
A close friend of the widow said:
1--WE are offered by the executors ST.
600. 600 in lieu of the annuity and the
life interest in the real estate They
have capitalized this total income or
$4,000 a year and have figured out
the widows expectation of life on an
insurance table. They tell us ner in
terest is worth 100000 in cash.
Friends of the widow say Ziegler's
personality was worth $2O,OOO,oOO. VI
this her third would nave been no less
than s6O0O,OO0.
Under a previous will made by Zleg-
Ter it is alleged that the widow ana
her son would have inherited at least
$40 OO0 600. In the will which the
widow seeks to break is clause the
language of which is such as to raise
a question as to the rigat of the widow
to have the use of the town and coun-
trv houses unless the adopted son lives
with her.
II was denied by one close to the
widow That her suit was in any sense
friendly" 1t would be pushed 1t was
said. until the widow got what sne
believes to be her fair sare Of the es-
tate. Under the will she cannot leave
anv part of the estate to her own
son. except what money she may save
out of her annuity.
Ziegler, they say, made the bulk OF
his vast fortune after he married MRS.
Gamble. She is said to have ADVISED
him in many of his ventures. HIS
closest friend said:
..ziegler during the last twenty years
of his life was so busy making money
he did not stop to realize he was WITH
out a natural heir"
The widow and the adopted son ana
heir are living at the country place on
Great Island, which has alresdy COST
100000.

BEEF TRUST IS
GENTLY HANDLED
REPORT THINKS PROFITS ARE
NOT EXORBITANT
Companies Not overcapitalized, and
Private Car Lines Add Little
to the Cost of
Meat

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March S.-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to con-
gress the report of the commissioner OF
corporations on the beef industry, SUBJ
mitted in compliance with the resolu-
tioin of the house Of representatives
adopted March Z, 1904. The presidents
letter of transmttal is as follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
II transmit herewith a report from
the secretary of commerce and labor
upon that portion of the resolution OF
the house of representatives adopted
March Z, 1904, having to do with the
prices of cattle and dressed beef, the
margins between such prices and the
organization, conduct and profits of the
organizations engaged in the beef
packing industry.
I'm view of the fact that the depart
ment of commerce and labor is now en-
gagged upon other matters involved in
the resolution, the secretary of COM
merce and labor cannot at this time
report thereon.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Summary of the Report
The report of the commissioner of
corporations is to the effect that six
packing mpanies-Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Morris & Co., the National
Packing company, the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger company and the Cudahy
Packing company-slaughter in the
year 1908 about 45 per cent of the total
indicated slaughter in the United
States; that the average net profit In
1903 for three of the companies was SO
cents per head; that the year 1902, in
stead of being one of exorbitant profits,
was less profitable than usual; that
during the months when prices OF
beef were the highest some at least OF
the leading packing companies were
actually losing money on every head
slaughtered.
The changes in the margin between
prices of cattle and beef are in them
selves no indications whatever of the
change in profits, says the report. Price
conditions for the years 1902, 1903 and
1904 are reviewed and the conclusions
are stated that the six companies es-
pecially discussed are apparently not
over-capitalized; that the percentage
of profit on the gross volume of bust
ness is comparatively small, and that
during the years 1902. 1903 and 1904
Swift & Co.'S profits have not exceeded
2 per cent of the total sales. while
Cudahy & Co.'S are stated at Is for
1904 and 2.S for 1908.
with reference to private car lines
in the packing industry, 1t is said that
the profit is a very liberal one, a net
return of from IA to II per cent being
indicated, but 1t Is added that, reck-
oned on the basis of dressed beef trans
ported, the profit would add but little
to the cost of beef to the consumer.
