BILLIONS IN NEW BUILDINGS
National Fire Protection Association
Urging Municipalities to Adopt
Improved Building Code.

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Never before in the
history of the world has there been such a
boom In building construction as Is now
taking place in the United States From
all parts of the country reports are coming
in which snow that billions OF dollars are
being spent in the endeavor to provide
homes for a population which is increasing
by leaps and bounds.
Chicago Is enjoying a boom without par
allel in the history of that city. Baltimore
has just been celebrating its remarkable
rise from the ashes of the great fire. San
Francisco bids fair to excel Baltimores
record. New York is constructing new sky
scrapers, representing investments amount
ing to 100000 600, while in the city and out
lying boroughs builders are expanding an
average of s150,0O0,00O a year in hotels,
apartment houses, dwellings, etc. The to-
tai number OF buildings throughout the
country is close to 100000 valued at
nearly $4,000, 100000
The materials used In many of the new
buildings are OF such a fiimsy character
that, In spite of all efforts, the terrible
fire waste of this country has continued
unchecked, until it now averages $500. 0O0.-
900 year. The National Fire Protection
association, in an endeavor to reduce these
losses makes an urgent appeal to all in
terested to cooperate in bringing about
better conditions by adopting improved
methods Of construction; It also recon-
mends that municipalities pass ordinances
involving the adoption OF an improved
building code along the lines Of the build
ing cede recommended by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
The need for such ordinances was tragi-
cally shown in the recent collapse of a
concrete. garage while in course Of con-
struction at Mineola, L. /. Five men were
killed and eight badly injured. 1t was
learned after the collapse that some OF the
men mixing the concrete refused to gs on
saying that the proportion Of cement mixed
with the gravel and loan was not enough
to solidify II. Workmen said that the
work was being rushed with such haste

SURFACE WATER DRAIMAGES
Pines Must BE DiscOnnec by Owners
or City VIII Do 1t and
Assess Costs.

Deputy city Clerk Daley Saturday after
noon prepared for City Engineer Rosewater
fifty notices to be served Monday morning
on property owners living on Sherman ave-
nue., north of Clark street, advising the
property owners that unless they discon-
meet their surface water drainages from
the sanitary sewer within thirty days the
city will do the work and assess the costs
against the property.
June 10. the council passed resolution
directing the property owners In question
to comply with the law, as the volume of
water turned into the eight-inch sanitary
sewer on Sherman avenue during certain
periods caused many cellars to be flooded
with back water. Notwithstanding the pro-
visions of the law on this matter and tho
resolution of the city council, the prop
erty owners have failed to take any action.
City Engineer Rosewater now intends to
take the matter in hand and remedy the
evil without further delay The storm
water on Sherman avenue should take its
own course over the surface to a large
sewer at lizard street.
II at the expiration Of thirty days, or on
November s, the Sherman avenue property
owners. have not taken cosnizance OF the
engineers notices. they will be liable To
arrest ara fine.

that sufficient time was not allowed for
the concrete to harden.
People are beginning to ask. When lie this
sort of thing going to stop? Since the
collapse of the Darlington hotel, in March,
1904, the exceedingly treacherous nature OF
concrete, unless mixed in strict accordance
with the formulas of standard engineering
has been shown in similar collapses all
over the country. The situation is becom-
ing so serious, especially in view of the
vast amount of money being put into new
buildings, that the International Congress
of Architects, at a recent meeting in Lon
don, adopted the following resolutions:
That an inquiry into the cases of failure
of reinforced concrete and their causes
would be most desirable.
That where reinforced concrete is in
tended to be fire-restricting the greatest
possible care must be taken as to the
nature of the aggregate and its size and
also as to the protection of the steel.

It is pretty dificult to find any particular
thing 20 which to attribute the decrease
other than general conditions, with the
exception OF one or two instances. The
tension has been high and building has
been going ahead at a more rapid pace
than ever before There has been a oon-
slant and steady demand for buildings OF
all classes. There has not been a lack OF
activity in any kind Of construction In any
section OF the country. Factories. ware
houses, mercantile buildings and dwellings
were never in such strong demand. In
some OF the smaller cities II is to be ex-
pected that there would be a falling of in
September. as II was entirely too late to
begin operations with a view to their COM
pletion before cold weather sets In. In the
larger cities September construction Is too

CLAN GORDON WILL BURY BOYD

Robert Boyd is my name,
Scotland Is my nation,

When am quite forgotten"
The appearance of these verses on the in
side cover of weekly time book found
on the body Of Robert Boyd, who died
Tuesday last in the White Front hotel,
friendless and alone, will save his remains
from the potters' field or the picking vat.
The deceased went to the White Front
hotel Monday evening last. very sick, and
on Tuesday was found dead in a window
less room of the cheap lodging house. No
money was found on his person, no papers
and no nothing. except this weekly time
book. He had given the name of Robert
Boyd. and the notice of the death in the
newspapers Wednesday arrested the atten-
ton of John A. Cuscaden of 1902 Webster
street. Thinking the remains might be those
of a long lost acquaintance, he instituted
some inquiry-enough to find that the de-
ceased Robert Boyd was not the person
he had thought he might-,be.
He found the memorandum book in the
clothes OF the dead man and at once got
into comm unication with William Ken
nedy, chief of Clan Gordon. Mr.. Kennedy.
on seeing these lines-familiar to every
Scottish school boy-was convinced Of the
mans nativity. and inasmuch as it is the
proud boast Of Clan Gordon that no
Scotchman's body, during the last eighteen
years (the lifetime of the clam, has ever
been permitted to be laid away in the pot
ters' field or has ever gone to the dissect-
ing table. he forthwith instructed the sec
rotary of the clan, James @. Lindsay, to
make due arrangements for respectable
funeral Sunday afternoon. The body will
be laid away in a grave in Forest Lawn
by the officers of Clan Gordon. Rev. A. s,
c. Clarke of Lowe Avenue Presbyterian
church, a member of the clan, will conduct
the services, which under the circum-
stances will be brief, though touching.
As nothing whatever is known of the
mans relations or their circumstances, the
entire expense of the burial will be borne
by Clan Gordon.
Funeral will be held from the undertake
ing parlors at Twentieth and Cunning Sun
day afternoon at o'clock Any relatives

up to a total of $500 in each case
1.-THE scheme worked well. The manager
Of the Clearing House bank, II was
called, opened set Of books, and credited
each OF the seventeen members with it's
deposit.
THE officers of the bank signed across
the face of the depositors checks a re-
quest to the Clearing House bank to pay,
and the checks so endorsed were charged
to the bank 1t must be remembered. that
the books of most of the banks were in the
hot vaults, along with the money, and
hence the limitation of Withdrawals which
all banks were bound to observe. The
Clearing House met daily. and soon the
measure OF relief was expanded to meet
pressing business necessities. At last, May
% was set for reopening for business with
out limit, and the banks prepared to leave
their temporary quarters in various resi-
dences and re-establish themselves in their
old location, erecting temporary structures
within the walls and upon the sites of their
former buildings. Banks vaults were
opened, and In most cases their contents
were found uninjured.
'As a matter of precaution, and to be
amply prepared for all contingencies, large
sums Of money were transferred from New
York and other points. and the banks had
on hand on the opening day something like
$75, 100000 in coin and currency. Between

DO THE POOR NEED THE RICH2

Miss Giulia Morosini, daughter of the
wealthy New York banker, recently
was quoted as Boosting Of the fact that
she spends 100000 year on her gowns
and that she is never dressed in any
thing imitation" nevertheless, she
sought to justify her position by the
fact that she thus puts money in cir
culation and makes employment for the
poor. She asked: What would the
poor do if there were no rich to work
for2' This was promptly taken up by
Mrs. JssG. Phelps Stokes. who before
her marriage was wage worker. She
said that tho Miss Morosini might new
er wear imitation gowns, she lived an
imitation life and that her moral pow
erty almost reached immodesty. Miss
Morosini she regarded as typical OF a
class which takes 20 per cent of the
wealth produced by workers and then
returns or per cent in the form OF
charity. Replying to the question of
what the poor would do without the
rich to work for, Mrs. Stokes said,
God willing, they. would work for
themselves" and instead of making
things for idlers they would make them
for workers, who would return the
courtesy by making other things n
return. She defined Miss Morosini as
moral pauper.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW


The great body of Christian believers
should take much comfort in the
knowledge that their Bible furnishes
more written and spoken language
than any one other source. Some may
doubt this, but an examination of any
book, newspaper, magazine, will prove
this assertion. One would naturally
suppose that Shakespeare would be the
authority for qnuotation in the modern
play. Not so. It's the Bible that fur
nishes the playwright with the pithy
and potential sentence Our orators In
congress and on the lecture platform
frequently quote, giving verse and
chapter from the Good Book. All this
implies appreciation. 1t also serves to
prove that even in these degenerate
days, the mass Of the people have read
or have heard some one else read the
Bible This often enough, 50 that the
quotation is heard with approval, rec
ognizing at once, the aptness of the
words and the solidity of the source.
