sented by liberal delegations. These

PosToFFIcE FOR DENVER.
Senate Committee Recommend. Large
Appropriation.

Appropriation.
WashingtOn.-In his report upon the
bill to appropriate $1,000, 900 for a new
federal building at Denver, Senator
Warren presented the following facts:
THE present public building in Den
yer was authorized under an act of
May 8, 1882. The building was not
completed until 1893, and before it was
occupied it was found that the city
had grown to such an extent that the
building was not nearly large enough
to accommodate the federal business.
The inadequacy of the present build
Ing at the time it was first occupied
was due to the rapid growth of the city
and surrounding country after au-
thority for construction of the build
ing was given and before it could be
, used.
1T is estimated that when the orig
inal bill was passed, in 1882. Denver
had a population of less than 10000.
By 1890 the number had increased to
100000 and to over 133, 900 in 1900, and
there had been corresponding growth
In the population of the state of Colo
RADIO and the entire Rocky mountain
region contiguous to that city. The re-
suit was an expansion of business far
in excess of the calculations of the
designers of the original building and
failure of the structure from the be-
ginning TO meet the demands upon it.
The growth of the city and contiguous
country has continued since the occu-
pancy of the present bsilding in 1893
until now it is conservatively calcu-
lated that the city has a population of
175,OOO
THE consequence is that there is
crowding together in public Offices of
officials. employees and papers that
should not be permitted, with conse-
quent congestion of business that is
appalling.
Outside the federal building, To-
Gated in different portions of the city,
| more or less remote, are Offices of the
United States district attorney, sur
veyOr generals Office, United States
| land offices. War Department head
quarters. department of Colorado, the
United States geological survey, recla-
nation service. forestry division and
pension Offices"
The report quotes the recommenda-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
| for a new building, who states:
1T is estimated that a four-story
and basement building of $4,000
square feet ground area will be suff1-
cient. and that a fireproof building of
the dimensions indicated will cost ST.
100000. 1t is estimated that suitable
site can be secured for from $500,0O0
| to $780, additional
Comparison of Denver's postoffice
facilities with those Of other western
cities viii be most interesting in this
connection.
Dallas. with a population of AZ ,63S,
has a postoffice building occupying a
full block front and from twice to
three times as large as the present
pOstoffice building in Denver.
kansas City has postoffice build
ing four or five times as large as
Denver's.
THE Omaha and Salt Lake post
Office buildings are two or three times
as large as the Denver postofice
building"

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.


The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking. held up a piece of candy
The pose of the hand With its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept In
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements Mr.. Post
said to his wife. I'VE receive SO
many inquiries Of this kind. that Y Is
evident some people are cutoas
to know. suppose We let the adyerds-
tising department have that bicture
of your hand to print and name "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation Of s.me OF
the most famous advertisemnts).
There was natural shrinking
A'oAA ehS puohSity, uut Will - "e'S &c
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was grated.
The case was presented the light
OF extending a welcoming and to the
friends of Postum and irape-Nuts.
SO the picture appeared n the back
covers OF many OF the anuary and
February magazines nd became
known to millions OF rople.
Many artists have cdmented upon
It as probably the me perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising df. OF the Post
um Co. did not seemble to resist the
temptation to enlisthe curiosity OF
the public. by refriing from giving
the name OF the oier when the pic
ture appeared stated that the
name would he zen later in one of
the newspaper .nouncements. thus
seeking 10 indu the readers to look
for and read forthcoming adver-
tisements to Tn the name OF the

This com,ation OF art and COM

Decline In silver.

New York.-In Wall street It is said
that the recent declines in silver were
undoubtedly due to Mexico's heavy
sale OF silver base bullion. Within the
last few weeks the republic to the
south OF us has disposed Of $50. 100000
worth Of silver dollars as bullion. This
1t was said would naturally tend to

snit stirs Reading Society.

Reading, Pa, March l6. - Local
business and social circles were treated TO
sensation that set tongues wagging to-
day, when Kate L. Boas, wife of former
Select Councilman Howard i. BOas, in
slituted a damage suit against Mrs.
Laura Fair Steininger. Although no
statement has been fled in the case,
counsel for Mrs Boas said that the in
timation that the pubic's conclusion, OF
alienation of affections, was not wrong.
Mr.. Boas was formerly secretary of the
Montelio Brick Company and lived with
his wife up to a few months ago in the
splendid mansion on north Fifth street.
Mrs. Boas has since been living with her
father, Nathan Harbster, president OF
the Reading Hardware Company, in his
Centre avenue mansion. Mrs. Steinin-
ger, who is handsome brunette, about
80 years old, is the divorced wife OF
Harry Steininger. The Steiuinge-s have
one child, a son, WHO lives with the
mother.

Much Ado About Nothing.

Both Enrolling Clerk Judge Gooch
and Clerk of the Senate Joseph Button
deny that there was anything reprehen-
sibe in the lrsnsac ion in which the lat
ter was the medium in rendering Judge
Gooch a check for $25 in connection
with the enrolment of q bill in the
House.
The bill in question was one of two
companion bills which Judge Phleger
offered in the Senate in behalf of the
Southern and Western Railroad, one of
which authorized a quo warranto involv-
ing Sc, 900, 900. They had no opposi-
ton, but 1t was highly important TO the
railroad that the quo warranto bill be
gotten through at the earliest moment;
but in the course of action on them in
the committee rooms they were reversed
in order, aud the least important of the
two bills reached the enrolling clerk
first.
Mr.. Button, out of accommodation, tried
to assist in speeding the quo warranto
bill and requested Judge GOoeh to enroll
il fhead OF the other. To this be readi-
" agreed, though it would entail con-
siderable extra work on him. Even the
Governor was appealed to to sign the
quo warranto bill first, so as to expedite
the measure, and he did so.
After the two bills became effective Mr..
Button suggested to Mr.. A. A. Campbell
that Judge Gcoch had been put to con-
siderable extra work in copying 40 pages
OF typewriting, and Mr. Campbell, the at
torney for the Southern and Western,
drew his personal check in Judge GoOch's
favor and asked Mr.. Button to hand it 10
him. This Mr.. Button did, but
Judge Goocb declared he enrolled the
bill out of its order as a personal courte-
sy to Mr.. Button and would accept no
compensation.
1t is customary to enroll bills out OF
their order in this way in times OF emer-
gency and has been frequently done.
Judge Gooch says, he was not offended at
the offer and never for moment believed
there was any wrong lntentin the matter
He also maintains that the fact that a
request was made that George Il. Wise,
one of the clerks, be allowed to enroll
the bill had no significance, and his rea-
son for refusal was that it would not
have been proportionate assignment OF
work.
As TO the House bill No. y, it Is
claimed that Mr. Howle, author OF the
bill. has never claimed that it was tam
pered with, but the fact that it came out
of the committee room emasculsted was
his only criticism.
The proceedings of the committee were
all secret, but, in view of the explans-
tions, it is safe to say the committee will
report that the suspicious OF tamPering
with bills we're unfounded.

Andrew Hamiton's vitrolic arraignment

ldentitxing Murdered Man.

New York, March l6.--Deteetives
Turturle and Adkey, of the Newark po-
lice force, came to New York today to
consult with Detective Petrosino and
other Italian members of the local detec-
tive bureau in the attempt TO solve the
mystery of the death of the man found
two days ago in the Morris canal with
his throat cut. There are strong indi-
cations that the man lost his life as the
result of IA Black Hand plot, and the po-
lice are about convinced that the dead
man was the chief kiduapper Of Antonio
Bozzufi, the young son of banker John
Bozzuffi. The police believe the man
was killed because be allowed young
Bozzuffi to escape The idntiicition
by Antonio Bozzuffi OF the dead man
as his keeper while the boy w4s de-
tanned in an east Fifty-nin,h street
house, was not positive, but the police
believe there is no doubt that he was the
man. Z French woman today gave de-
scriptiou of the man who bought food at
her bakery adjoining the house where
young Bozzutii was held prisoner, which
tallies exactly with that of the man
found in the canal. The similarity be-
tween the manner in which the dead
mans throat was gasbed, and the wounds
inflicted upon other victims Of supposed
Black Hand outrages, have led the po-
lice to believe that all the crimes have
been committed by the same band aud
they are working on that theory.

New York, March l6.-Tust forty
live years after closing his general store
in the village of Cross River, Westches'
ter county, George r. Avery has had
the dust of 1861 brushed off his old stock
of goods and is selling it at auction.
Avery closed the store when his wife
died, and vowed he would never sell an
other article over the counter He re-
fused to repair his house, and it is
rapidly falling to pieces. Beginning
yesterday, the sale brought hundreds of
persons from surrounding towns. Other
stores closed, and Cross River made a
general holiday of the occasion. The
wares disposed of comprised a wonder
fully varied list of things in common use
half century ago. There were beaver
hats, hoopskirts, paper neckties and
weirdly colored stockings. 1t was like
the opening of grandma's old trunk in
a dusty attic. There were AiDtlock guns,
too, and some ancient swords and a
sleigh that was used in 1890. There
were plugs of tobacco and few old
chromos. Prices for the articles ranged
from | cent to So, which was paid for
The sleigh.

The Statehood Bill.

As the result OF caucus which lasted
for tWo and a half hours yesterday the
republicans of the House voted 1875 to
35 TO stand by the statehood bill as il
pa ssed the House and ask the Senate for
a conference on the measure. This vote
followed Immediately after resolution
offered by Mr.. AIondeIl, of Wyoming,
representing the insurgents, had been
defeated, 1913 to 4S, the Mondell resolu-
ton being to agree to the Senate amend
ment eliminating Arizona and New
Mexico from The bill and asking for a
conference on the minor amendments in
the measure.
Mr.. Babcock accused the leaders with
being eager enough to join with the DEM
ocrats on the Philippine bill, and were
now criticising those who intended join
ing them on statehood. "You have
fooled them by calling it a conference, y
he continued, "when you knew if you
called it caucus, you could not get a
quorum. II tho bill goes to conference
as suggested, it will die"
That the defeat of the admission OF
Oklahoma meant the defeat of the re-
publican party in that section of the
country was advanced as an argument
for the Senate bill by Mr.. Murdoch,
of Kansas.
After the vote had been taken on the
two propositions, NJ. Bonynge asked
unanimous consent to offer resolution
declaring the conference not binding.
Mr.. Watson at once objected to this and
the session was declared ended.
The insurgents declared they would
not be bound by the decision.
