NEW YORK CITY
FLATS COLLAPSE
AUTHORITIES STOP WORK ON
MANY STRUCTURES
Speculative, Craze Leado to Violation
of Law Prohibiting Erection of
Brick Walls During Freez-
ing Weather
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The dis
closures following the collapse of nine
partially completed fiat buildings since
the thaw set in last Saturday, have
caused the city authorities to stop
work on many structures and to put
under the double surveillance of special
inspectors several scores of other
structures in the course of erection.
An investigation into the methods of
the bureau of buildings which may
cause revolution in the department
also has been inaugurated.
Borough President .Ahearn took per-
sonal charge of the matter and learned
of the existance Of speculative fiat
ings are sold from their plans and put
up so rapidly that since the first of the
year it has been possible to build six
stories of stone foundations and brick
wall, despite laws which expressly pro-
hibit the erection of wall or pier or
parts in freezing weather.
Superficial investigation showed him
seventy-five instances of buildings in
the northern sections of the city all
of which, it was admitted, had been
rushed to completion, although on not
one day since January 1st has the mer-
curry failed to fall below the freezing
point.
That a great death roll has not fol-
lowed the fall of the buildings is at
tributed only to the best of fortune.
Even after the walls had begun to
settle in many of them men are said
to have been at work, but the collapse
held off until they had gone, or hap
pened before the men returned.

Methods
By Associated Press.

BOSTON, March 21.-Congregational
ministers representing Boston and
various sections of New England, have
forwarded to the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions a
protest against the acceptance by the
board of a gift of 100000 from John
d. Rockefeller.
The petition, which was prepared by
a committee chosen at meeting of the
clergymen, protests against the ac-
ceptance of the gift on the ground that
the Standard Oil -ompany, of which
Mr.. Rockefeller is the head, Stands be-
fore the public under repeated and re-
cent formidable indictments in specific
terms for methods which are morally
iniquitious and socially destructive"
and that "the acceptance of such a gift
involves the constituents OF the board
in relation implying honor toward the
donor and subjects the board to the
charge Of ignoring the moral issues in
volved."'
In conclusion the protest says: 1--WE,
the undersigned, therefore, protest
against the action by which our church
may even seem to be compromised and
we plead with the officers of the board
to decline the gift or to return it If It
has been accepted"

IOWA EXPRESS
TRAIN WRECKED
SPIKES REMOVED AND RAILS
MISPLACED
Seven Persons Injured Through the
Deliberate Action Of Unknown
Parties In Pulling Up
the Line
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
DES MONIES, March 21.-The Rocky
Mountain limited, westbound on the
Rock Island railroad, was wrecked
near Homestead, Iowa, early today
and seven persons were injured. Ac-
cording to the railway officials, the
wreck was caused by train wreckers,
who escaped in the darkness.
The most seriously injured are:
Mrs. l.. Crosswhite, Sargent, Iowa;
arm cut and bruised.
c. ]. Pomeroy, mall clerk, Newton,
Kan; head cut.
A. C. Hotchkiss, engineer Rock
Island, ILL.,; hands and feet scalded.
William Smith, fireman, Rock Island,
ILL.,; head and shoulders bruised.
w. H. Vallcock, porter. Chicago;
head cut.
l.. A. webber, mail clerk, Council
Bluffs, Iowa; head cut
The wreck occurred on a high en-
bankment, where the roadbed had been
made soft by recent heavy rains.
The roadmaster reported the wreck
to the Chicago headquarters in the
following message: "The wreck was
caused by an unknown party remov-
ing spikes, bars and anglebars and
misplacing the rail. Spikes were re-
moved from two rails. The engine and
first four cars were thrown down a
forty-five-foot embankment. The en-
gine was completely stripped, the mail
car destroyed, the buffet car on it's
side and two sleepers badly damaged"
1t was found upon investigation that
the rails at the point of the wreck
had not only been removed, but after
being taken out of line with the rest
of the track had been spiked down
again.
The officials here are at loss to ac-
count for the motive for the deed. The
theory that the wreck was the work of
robbers is offset by the fact that no
attempt was made at robbery after
the train had been wrecked.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, March 21.-A power
plant, the purpose and nature of which
is being kept secret, is to be con-
structed at the mouth of False bay.
Governor Pardee has just signed a bill
introduced into the legislature by SEN
ator Ward giving the necessary au-
thority for the use of the swiftly rush
ing tide water to develop power.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Ward at the instance of Attorney Ed
win A. Wells of this city, who has Sc
cured for his associates the control of
all the lands adjoining the entrance
and the consequent right to utilize the
power. Mr.. Wells states that a plant
is to be put in, but declines to discuss
either the purpose or the parties in
terested in the same.
A Huntington engineer was several
months ago reported to be investigat-
ing the possibilities of development of
power from this source, but Mr.. Wells
would give no information on this
point.

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE
About blood Purifiers" and Tonlcs."

Every drop OF blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue I'm the body can be re-
newed in but one way, and that is
from wholesome food properly digested
There is no other way and the idea
that n medicine in itself can purify
the blood or supply new tissues and
strong nerves is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia
or indigestion is a germ disease, or
that other falacy, that weak stom-
ach which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so by irritating and in
flaming the bowels by pills and ca
thartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-
ing after meals, because they furnish
the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and, unless the def
cheney of pepsin and dlastase is sup
piled, II is useless to attempt to cure
stomach trouble by the use of ton
les" pills" and "cathartiCs" which
have absolutely no digestive power
and their only effect is to give a tenn
porary stimulation.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown
that they will do this in a glass bottle

There is probably no remedy so uni

cause IT is not only the sick and all
ing, but we'll people who use them at
every meal to insure perfect diges-
tion and assimilation of food.
People who enjoy fair health take Stu

their meals, because they want to keep
well: prevention is better than cure,
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do

they remove 1t where it exists The

PENSON DECISIONS.
Rulings OF the interior Department hat
Will Be of Interest to Old Soldie,s
ard Their Families

The following decisions which have
been rendered by the Department of
the Interior will be of interest to old
soldiers and their families. There
are many parallel cases where the
decisions may be of value to appli-
cants for pension:
Marriage and DivoFce-As soldier
had wife living from whom he had
not been divorced at the time of his
marriage to claimant, such marriage
was null ond void; and as soldiers
first wife survived him, and neither
ever having procured divorce, there
was no period of time when claimant
and soldier could have been legally
married, she is not his widow nor en-
TITLED to pension.
Line Of DutY-The record shows
that the soldier incurred the dislo-
cation Of his left arm, for which
pension is claimed, while scuffiiug in
the barracks, and that he was not in
line OF duty.
Honorable Dlscharge-The records
Of the war department showing that
claimant was honorably discharged
from the service In the war with
Mexico, the commissioner of pensions
has no lawful Authority to question
such record, and must accept the
fact as certified to him by the Secre-
tary of war.
Line Of Duty-A disease contracted
by soldier while in confinement await
ing trial for breach of military duty
is not necessarily incurred without
the line of duty, and when the soldier
is acquitted, or died while awaiting
trial, disease so contracted is held
to have been incurred in line Uf duty
Dependence, Widows-Theev evidence
shows that the claimant owns prop
erty which does or should, If prudent
ly managed, yield net income ex-
ceeding $3.50 per annum. Held: That
she is not entitled to pension under
the acts of June q, 1890, and May
9, 1900.
Service-War With Mexico-There
is no evidence, aside from the claim
ants statements, that Re rendered
any service as an enlisted man in the
army of the United States during The
war with Mexico. His service was
as teamster in the quartermaster'
department, which is not pension
able service under the act of January
20, 1887.
