AMERICAS OLDEST
SKY.SCRAPER
N ives Built In PhiladsIphIa In 1850 BY
Or. o. Jayne 10 Accommodate
HE Growing Business.

The oldest sky-scrapcr in the
United States, il not in the world,
is the cight-story structure erected
in Philadelphia in 1850 by DR.. ID:
Jayne, TO meet the requirements OF
his rapidly increasing business-the
manufacture of medical preparations.
II hardly seems possible that 81
years have passed since the hrst SKY,
scraper was put up in the United
States, but such is a fact, Many years
intcrvened before taller building was
constructed. In fact, 1t was not until
the late seventies that any progress
in this direction was made, but when
architects finally became convinced
that very tall buildings could be safe
" and economically erected, and that
the available space thus afforded
could, owing to the great demand Tor
Offices in congcstcd sections OF great
cities. be leased at remunerative
rates, they set TO work to develop
the modern sky-scraper As the di-
rect result of their efforts, we have
today in Philadelphia, in New York
and in Chicago Office buildings OF
colossal size, ranging from twenty to

under construction will even surpass
these. Two buildings now going up
in New York will exceed GOO feet in
height.
When the DR.. JAYNE building was
first erected, and for many years
after, It was regarded as one Of the
sights of the Quaker City, No visitor
felt that he had completed his inspec-
tion OF its wonders until he had gazed
upon it.
The preparations put up by DR..
D. Jayne & Son are sold in every
civilized land, and as the trade mark
OF the firm bears picture OF the
building, it is safe to say that more
people are familiar with its appear
ance than with the appearance OF any
other business structure in the world.
The building has also been made IA

MANAGER QUINN
IS HOME AGAIN

Eddie Quinn has returned from
the East. He has nothing new to
announce in regard to players for
next year, but says he has some
way-up players signed. He doesn't
care to give out their names, as he
is afraid he will lose them by draft
should he do so. 1t Is noticeable
that all the players sold and draft
ed this year were gathered here by
Manager Quinn's predecessors. If
he is no more successful in filling
the holes made by drafts than he
was all last season in bracing up
the team, little can be expected in
the way of good baseball as far as
the professionals are concerned.
+ Butte has served notice on Russ
Hall that he will have to give that
city good team or he can expect
no patronage. 1t is time that some
such action was taken in this city
and that the owners and manager
of the local team be served notice
that the patrons expect something
for their money, and if they don't
get good baseball they will patron
ize the City league. where amateurs
may be seen to play at amateur
prices.

NO CAUSE FOR
ALARM --ANkENY

WALLA WALLA, Nov. 16.-Ac-
cording to his present plans, Sena-
tor Ankeny will leave for Washing
ton, d. c., some time the last OF
this month.
Asked about what legislation of
national importance would prob
ably be made this winter Senator
Ankeny said:
There is little, think, of really
vital importance to the nation to
be done this winter. 1t is too near
the presidential campaign to make
any radical changes. For this rea-
son, | think there will be little done
in the way of tariff revision"
do you think anything will be
done to relieve the financial situa.
tion?"
cit will probably be too late to
do anything about the situation by
that time. l thing the trouble will
have passed over and a solution
will have been worked out by a
natural process. l consider that the
present financial situation is not
dangerous and is alarming only in
that people are becoming brighten.

THINKS ADAMS May BE
CONVICTED

Gus Wing, the famous court
stenographer, was in the city this
morning. He has been attending
the Adams trial as a witness for
the state.
He was stenographer during the
first trial of Adams and some of
the witnesses having refused to
testify in the present trial their
testimony in the first trial was ad-
mitted in evidence and it was ne
cessary that Wing identify his
notes taken at the first trial For
this reason the state brought him
to Idaho.
In speaking of the Adams trial
Wing said he would not be sur
prised if Adams was convicted at
this trial as he thought the jury
was a better one for the prosccu-
ton than the one which tried the
case at Wallace.

PLAN TO MOVE
THE wheat

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-The Nation
al aBnk of Commerce of this city
has submitted plan for the NOV
ing Of the wheat crop of the Inland
Empire. The plan is to exchange
sight drafts on New York for the
wheat, which drafts will be pay
able within Is days after the wheat
Is delivered to the exporter. Or
dinarily the wheat is paid for in
sight drafts on London, which very
much prolongs the time which the
local banks must carry the &C
counts. r. r. Spencer, vice presi-
dent of the National Bank of Com
merce. stated that if the exporters
would agree to accept these sight
drafts on New York he would UNI
dertake to furnish the cash and
credit necessary to get the crop
started on its way to Europe.
Mr.. Loose, representing the
wheat interests, has stated that he
has little doubt that the plan will
be accepted.

BOURNE SAYS HE MUST

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. To-
Senator Joseph Bourn may have
been rebuked by Roosevelt for his
spectacular Isl 900 prize offered for
the best third term argument" but
If Bourn's shoulders have felt the
weight of the presidential ques-
ton they have not deferred the
senator from Oregon from still pre-
dieting that Roosevelt would be
the republican candidate next
year.
Today he made the following
statement: president Roosevelt
will be the republican candidate for
president and w. ]. Bryan the
democratic candidate. Recent
events, in my opinion, demonstrate
the unavailabiIity Of all other re-
publican candidates now in the
field, making certain Roosevelt's
selection by the convention. The
people propose to control the nom-
nations Of both parties. No one
blames Roosevelt for the financial
troubles except Wall st. manipula-
tors"
An authorized agent for Bryan
today made the statement that Bry-
an made the announcement in re.
gard to nomination because it had
been said that Bryan would not en-
ter the list if Roosevelt was a can
didate. He wished to make II plain
he did not fear to run against
Roosevelt next year.

STEWART WILL RUN

1t is reported around town today
that Zach Stewart will be candi-
date for the office of county treas
urer. While the rumor could not
be confirmed it was generally &C
cepted as being reliable. In a
primary election Stewart will be a
hard man to beat and other candi-
dates for the office will have to go
some if they secure the prize. He
was for two terms county auditor
and as such made friends with the
public generally.
Mr.. Stewart stated to The Press
this afternoon that he Is in the
race for county treasurer. He said
it was early to make an announce
ment but that other candidates
were in the field and he wanted it
understood that he was out for the

IDIOTS F4A We NO SOULS AND
THEY HAV We NO RIGHT TO EXIST

CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-From the
lips of a Chicago club woman, Miss
Lillian Shaffner, has come the
most startling of all suggestion for
the solving of criminal problems.
Miss Shaffner would hang all
Idiots.
Clubwomen and reformers are
nghast at her suggestion, coming
when others are seeking to miti-
gate the suffering of the mentally
infirm in ways more humane.
Miss Shaffner is chief of police"
In the mock city government form
Hrere are more of her ideas:
Brand a murderer with a mark
on the forehead and then turn him
loose so that all would recognize
him.
Deport foreign criminals; be-
cause it Is cheaper than to try them
In this country and support them
in this country's jails.
Put women in Office; because
they could better handle perpleXing
police problems than the men.
Il think that the viewpoint nave
taken is new to many people," Miss
Shaffner explained to reporter.
THAT Is why 1t startles so many.
But really 1t is not so new. And It
Is not so harsh as 1t may at first
seem.
81 look at the idiot as useless
being, not as human. To my mind
he has absolutely no more right
to exist than a reptile or other UNI
wholesome creature. | do not be-
lieve that hanging him would be
anywhere near so grave an offense
as to hang a murderer The idiot
has no soul. When he dies he
ceases to exist entirely and those
who were forced to come in contact
with him can no longer suffer be-
cause Of his abnormal condition

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The
storm of protest that has followed
the attack of President Higgins of

the character of the former presi-

Barney.
IF Higgins has been correctly
