pointed out that the erection OF build
ings fifty stories high is perfectly

that in the future more attention
will be paid TO digging habitable

Evan declared that the San Fran
cisco earthquake proved the super
iority OF the modern fire proof steel
construction over that OF any other
method Of building. He advocated
the use of wire glass with metallic
frames and sashes in place of plate
glass and wood frame and sash as
matter Of fire protection.
A new method of construction was
outlined by the speaker Briefly
stated, it contemplates leaving the
earth eXcavated until the super
structure is well along exact re-
verse of the old method. Mr.. Evan
said the advantage of the method
lies in the fact that It insures against
the sinking Of streets and adjoining

The bill contemplated the leasing

miles from Manila, to private COM
pany for fifty years with the under
standing that the company securing
the lease should sell the coal to the
United States and Philippine govern
ment at a price not to exceed ten
per cent, above the cost Of mining
A military expert estimated that
the coal could thus be mined and sold
at $3.50 per ton. as against $500
per ton, which il now costs the goS-
eminent for Japan and Australian
coal.
Mr.. Tawney attacked the princi-
pie of giving away the property of
the United States without royalty.
Mr.. Clark CMissouri) insisted that
If we are goint to keep the Philip
pine islands We ought not to ALLEVIATE
a single island or anything produced
on the islands, for in time Of war
We would need every facility they
afforded. The measure was oppos-
ed also by several other prominent

recommendation of the secretary Of
