THE NEW-YoRK BUyLDJyG CODE

The action of the Board OF Aldermen with re-
gard TO q revision Of the Building Code a few
weeks ago has provoked condemnation in GER
tam quarters. Engineering News" evinced
hearty regret at the time and hoped that the
step would be retraced. Another periodical
Insurance Engineering" now shows still
stronger dissatisfaction and advises the board
10 reconsider the whole matter Two such chal-
lenges ought at least 10 arrest public attention.
No one disputes the desirability of revision

ural League points out that some provisions of
the present code are obsolete and that others
are unsatisfactory. The committee of twenty
OF the National Board Of Underwriters specifies
what il regards as defects and Inconsistencies
and wants the regulations brought up to date
BY that body a wish is expressed that the re-
sponsibility for enforcing the fire escape ordi-
nance. which is now divided among several de-
partments, shall be concentrated in one The
chief difference Of opinion seems TO be over the
composition Of the board or commission to
which the task shall be Entrusted

ply with the request, and adopted a resolution

MAY NOT GIVE BONDS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The question Of
whether the Standard Oil company will
be required to give bond for its ap-
pearance on each OF the indictments re-
turned Monday by the federal grand
juries on charges of accepting rebates
from railroads has not been settled. A
bond Of $4,000 was filed by Judge Be-
thea when the first indictment was re-
turned against the company several
weeks ago. The indictment was on 10
counts and Ii the same ratio is main
tanned with the 6,42s counts in the ten
returned on Monday, the required bond
would be Ss.350,0o0.
'T don't think bond will be required" !"
said John s. Miller, attorney for the
Standard Oil company. yesterday. So
far as / have been able to discover
there is no provision requiring 1t from q
corporation when indicted. The Standard
Oil company is not going to run off to
Europe. 1t Is different when an individ-
nal is charged with crime"

70 us ELECTRICITY.
s. P. viii Employ Electric Power in
Carrying Freight Over Mountains.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2e.--The
Southern Pacific Il seriously consider
ing the nse Of electric power to take
the heavy reight and passenger trains
over the steep grades Of the Sierra Me-
yada mountains. Electric power can be
easily installed, according to the pre-
liminary reports, TO do the work. with
an increase over the present speed Of
trains of about 100 per cent. The best
speed Of the powerful locomotives now
hauling the freight cars can attain over
the steep grades II miles an hour,
and sometimes three locomotives have
to be attached Ia attain this. 1t Is un-
derstod that the new electric power will
take the cars over the grades at min
imum rate Of is miles an hour.
II y proposed BY the Southern Pacific
to do away with some Of the hardest
grades by the use Of tunnels, which will
be bored in the vicinity Of Summit and
Truckee.
In all probability the solution Of the
power question win be found in a plant
on the mountains. IT Is urged that such
a plant can be built and equipped at
moderate cost. using oil as fuel and
can supply all the power necessary
II the proposed improvements are
made, it u estimated that the cost Of
hauling the trains will be cut In half
and the freight carrying capacity Of the
road over the summit Of the sierras
will be almost doubled. Oil win be used
with the electric engines and the ex-
pense will be considerably decreased.

Akron, Ohio, Aug. 29.--Following the
statement given out by Senator Foraker
Sunday night on the issne Of indorse.
ment Of the Ohio senators BY the Re-
publican convention and other matters,
Senator Charles Dick gave out a state
ment yesterday. Both Of the statements
follow the address OF Harry M. Dangk-
erty, former chairman Of the Republican
State committee, at Cleveland last Sat
urday, in which be urged the retire.
ment Of Senator Dick as chairman Of
the state executive committee and q less
cordial endorsement OF Senators Foraker
and Dick than Of President Roosevelt by
the State committee.
Senator Dick In his statement says
PERSONALLY no one can regret more
than / the antagonism or opposition TO-
ward Ohio senators and their friends.
sIf the Ohio senators were disposed,
for any reason to retire from the con-
fiict, they could not do 50 now. They
owe II TO their friends over the entire
state as well as to themselves TO hght
this matter to finish. In this CON
test their friends wiz be found on one
side, their enemies on the other. In the
controversy however, the national ad-
is not involved. since no
one opposes strong and emphatic en-
doreement Of the president. The whole
situation has shifted to one OF opposi-
tion to the Ohio senators and the present
party organization. The coming state
convention, all delegates participating,
must decide these matters.r
