promoters of this greater library seek
a building which will afford accommo-
dalton for 100000 volumes and
make our library the largest in the
world.
The congressional library is already
a place of international fame. 1t is
one of the most beautiful buildings in
Washington. Twenty years ago, when
planned, the architects estimated that
the alcoves and the adjoining stacks
would accommodate the natural
growth of the library for a period of
"a years, and that by occupying the
remainder of the building there would
be room for the growth of SO years.
The full capacity of the former spaces
is 100000 volumes. The full capacity
of the latter spaces is 3,537,0OO vol
umes. but the increase is already so
appalling that immediate plans for en-
largement must be undertaken.
1t is fact little known that the
COMPRESSION library is a profit maxi
ing institution. The total expendi-

library. not including the purchase of
books, for 10 years has been $577,O97.

Clarence Young Must Now Explain
How 1t Happened.

The preliminary hearing of Clarence
Young. the druggist charged with SELL
ing cocaine and acetanelid in envelopes
bearing the brand of headache pow
der" contrary to the specifications of
the state pure food laws, is on in city
court today. The case will occupy the
entire day. as the jury was not weeded
out until nearly II o'clock.
When the case was called last week,
Young's attorney asked for a change
of venue, which was refused by Judge
Simons. They then demanded a jury,
which was at once drawn and struck.
Three of the original jurors, John E.
Frost, c. B. Hypes and F. E. Nipps
were challenged by the state because
they had formed an opinion in the case.
One of, the substitutes. Frank White
ker, was challenged by the defense. af-
ing the formal questions, the county
attorney asked Whiteker, as he had
asked each of the other jurors: Has
Clarence Young ever been to see you
about his case?"
Yes" answered whiteker, che met
me on the street, told me that the case
was coming up today, and wanted me
to be here when the jury was drawn.
Whiteker gained the reputation dur
ing the last term of district court of
being obstinate because he once hung
q jury. After his frank declaration that
he had been seem the defense did
not want him.
The principal witnesses in the case
are three prisoners in the county Jail,
Roy Dutton, Percy Gayhart and Louis
Day, who purchased the headache

the compound over to DR. Crumbine,
who had an analysis made. DR.. Crum-

CHINA DYNASTY IN PERIL
STATIONARY SOCIETIES TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF FAMINE.
General Uprising Is Feared and Unit
ed States and Europe Are Great
Iy Concerned.

Washington, March %. = From
Shanghai advices received at the
state department it appears that the
ruling dynasty in China is seriously
alarmed over the effect of the spread
of famine through the country and
the opportunity it offers to seditionary
societies to enlist converts to the
cause directed against the govern
ment.
The suffering of the people is used
as capital, it is said, in that judicious
assuaging of want places the persons
given assistance under obligations to
the societies. The governments in
ability to relieve suffering, it is said,
has been magnified and the hardships
of the people attributed to lack of
sympathy by the government for the
poor classes.
The information received here indi-
Gates that propaganda has been or
ganized to further the circulation of
stories of the character outlined and
it is said that state department of
ficials fear that spread of hysteria
may engender a general uprising. If
such should be the result there is
danger that the government might
not be able to control the situation
American and other foreign interests
then would be jeopardized. So great
is the concern that diplomatic and
consular officials in China have been
instructed to keep Washington ad-
vised in regard to the situation and
every turn taken.
That any movement which threat
ems the overthrow of the present
dynasty in China gives alarm to the
United States and every European
nation which has interests and peo-
pie in China is not denied. The life
of every white person in China is be-
lieved by officials of the state depart
ment to depend upon the continuance
of the Chinese government as it
stands, the Boxer uprising being cited
as an instance of what might result
if the present government should be
weakened.

BLACK HAND MURDER IN OHIO.
Wealthy Italian Shot Down on Street
of Bellefontaine.

Belefontaine, O., March Pa
street fight between three wealthy
Italians and three members of the
Black Hand Sunday resulted in the
death of Joseph Demar. His body
was pierced by nine bullets. His COM
panions fired upon his assailants and
from the fact that they left trail Of
blood, the police believe at least
one of the murderers was seriously
wounded.
Salvador Cira, a commission mer-
chant, who was with Demar, believes
the shots were intended for him, and
the police are working on the theory
that his wealth melted the BLACK
Hand" to demand money, which Cira
refused. Although Demar had 5000 in
his possession, his body was not
touched, showing the motive to be
other than robbery The assassination
occurred on one of the principal
streets.

PETER ScsAErER. Pubiishe
Cost of Improving a Railroad.
MIMI


To duplicate the track of q large
American road would involve an ex-
cenditure whose resulting yearly
charges would be very far from being
met by the added revenue for long
time to come. AS matter of fact,
most Of the railroads are, therefore,
duplicating their tracks slowly, says
Wolcott Drew in Moody's Magazine.
It is, however, not question whether
enough is spent each year to keep a
road, already In good condition, UP to
the previous normal standard, but
whether enough additional has been
expended to keep the road in the up
to-date state demanded by the contin.
ually higher standard of living and ex-
penditure in the whole country. A
striking example is seen in the South
ern Pacific. In 1902 large broker
age house, interested in this stock,
estimated with an expenditure of $40,-
100000 this road would be in first
class physical condition and enabled
easily to pay dividends. A forty-mil-
lion-dollar issue of preferred stock
was actually made. But it has been
found necessary in the last four years,
in addition to this sum, to expend
nearly $90.O00,O00 before the road has
been brought up to a first-class con-
dition. 1t has now the rather large
bond capitalization of $4,000 per
mile.

day night The loss embraced new
$250,000 addition to the plant and a

The fire started from the explosion

that there are those who love him,
