E. Linkenheimer, one Of the best known
architects in Pittsburg, with offices in the
Park building and home in Allegheny. was
found last evening in Panther Hollow,

titled as to the motive. In his pockets when
the body was found were certificates for
mining stock of the value of $1,000, while
some $40 in cash, his gold watch and other
valuables were untouched.
At his home in Allegheny last night It

that he had gone out of the city on bust
ness trip.

skyscraper architect and the head OF one
Of the largest building concerns in the city,
who were seen on the subject, declared this
week that the limit was still far distant
The 15O-story skyscraper is possible today,
they declared, so far as the builder and
the architect were concerned and is certain
ly probability of the future Such build
ings would be q quarter of a mile In height.
New York's building problem is unique in
the world. The major part of the vast busi-
ness interests Of Manhattan is compressed
within an area of less than two square
miles. Here are the headquarters Of prac-
tically all the great railroad systems Of the
United States; here stands that mysterious
building from which the Standard OIL Com
pany puts out its tentacles to every quar-
ter Of the globe; here the billion-dollar steel
trust has its financial home, and hundreds
of other holding companies and corpora
tons; here are the great exchanges, banks,
trust companies, brokerage offices and the
great horde of lawyers.
Height for Width.
The business growth, shut in from the
SOUTH west and east by the waters Of the
bay and the Hudson and East rivers, can
find an outlet only by pushing the theater
and residential districts slowly to the north,
for New York has ample length for expan-
sion in one direction, but is lacking in width.
For this lack the utmost engineering in
genuity is constantly employed to substi-
tute height.
Hence, the building Of the skyscrapers
has become practically a science of itself.
Two factors limit the size of buildings in
New York. The first is the wind. If the
wind never blew in the metropolis the sky
scraper builders task would be greatly
simplfied, and he could pile story on story
to his hearts content. But the wind pres
sure ON thirty story building is something
enormous. The modern skyscraper is built
to Withstand wind velocity Of 125 miles,
and there is practically no chance Of New
York getting a mightier blow than that.
The second factor is the limit of the build

WOULD CHECK DIVORCE
BALTIMORE LAWYER ON RE-
sTRICTIvE LEGISLATION.

Speaking Of the efforts of the American
Bar Association to secure the passage of
uniform marriage and divorce laws, Mr..
David Stewart whose legal works on Mar
riage and Divorce" and Husband and
Wife are well known, said yesterday:
II have followed with a great deal Of in
terest these proceedings of the American
Bar Association. Some years ago uni
form code of divorce proceedings was adopt
ed by the association and was sent to the
different states with view to have their
bar associations approve 1t and to have 1t
enacted by the various state legislatures.
Mr. George r. Gather was at that time
one of the committee for the American Bar
Association. and he presented this code
here. 1 opposed its approval at meeting
of the city bar association, and also OPP
posed it in Annapolis. and it was not
passed. Its defect lay in that while at
tempting to cure the evil of fraudulent d.
vorces 1t put unreasonable obstacles in the
way of the perfectly legitimate divorces.
Would Remedy Defects.
Under international and interstate laws
no state has the right to divorce persons
who have not their matrimonial homes
within it's boundaries. Our courts, for ex-
ample, have no right to grant divorce to
persons whose home is in New York. Ow-
Ing to defects in the laws. by means Of
little perjury. persons desiring a divorce
have been able to go to state where
divorce is easily obtained, and there get
counterfeit or fictitious divorce. This has
been done so much that 1t has caused great
scandal. rejecting on the courts OF certain
states.
ut is not difficult to prevent outsiders
from thus abusing the courts of a state, but
for financial reasons those states where
such divorces usually granted do not
wish to prevent the visits of parties desir-
ing divorces Perhaps it was for this reason
that the American Bar Association sought
to cure the trouble by making it much more
difficult for any one to get any kind Of
divorce.
80 prevent cattle from being driven
across Eager street at night 1t would not be
necessary to close Eager street, although
by the latter means the trouble would be

1t is not necessary to legislate against all

Refuses to Give Up Books.

In the order issued by the board on Thurs
day 1t was demanded that the books should
be produced not later than by next Wednes-
day. 1t was ascertained yesterday from
William NJ. WINS that when the formal
refusal OF the company to deliver up the
books is received the commission will apply
to the supreme court for a mandamus to
compel the enforcement of the order. 1t
Is expected by Mr. WINS and the members
OF the commission that the company will
appeal on the ground that the commission
has authority over operating companies
only, and that as the Inter-Met Is merely a
Jurisdiction over it.
The settlement of the question will be
taken to the court of appeals and it was
said yesterday by Mr. WINS that de-
in about ten weeks. 1t is provided in the
public service act that all cases affecting
the commission shall have preference in
the calendars Of the courts except in the
one of great Importance for the reason that
the company's lawyers make no secret of
the fact that it is their intention to ques-
ton the constitutonality of the act which
brought the commission into being.
Reasonableness Of Order.
1t Is the purpose also of the company to
fight the orders which undoubtedly will be
issued for increasing the number of cars
run on the various lines controlled by the
Inter-Met. 1t Is provided In the act that
where there is any question as to the rea-
sonableness of an order issued by the COM
mission the courts can be appealed to. 1t
Is intended by the company to take advan-
tage of this clause. The company will con-
