Shocks Recorded Here.

WILL; l.. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau, issued the following statement today:
THE sesmograph at the weather bureau,
Washington, recorded two very small earth
quake shocks during the afternoon of April
IS. The shocks appear to have been so
feeble. or of such character that a record
was produced only on the east and west
component instrument, which is, moreover.
slightly more sensitive than the north-south
component instrument.
lowing to the feeble character of the dis
turbance, the usual characteristic features
of earthquake records are not clearly de-
fined and cannot be made out.
THE record of the first shock begins at
about 49, pm. April IS and ends about
5:35 pm. The strongest motion was at
5:11 to 5:13.
THE record of the second and slightly
larger shock began at about 7:49 pm. and
ended at about $40 pm. The strongest
motion was between sos and S:07 pm

new SCHOOL BUILDINGS
COMMITTEE INSPECTS STRUC.
TURES IN OTHER CITIES
Engineer Commissioner BiddIe De-
scrlbes What Was Seen and Com
ments Thereon-Some Features.

1t is likely that some of the future public
school buildings in the District will be pat
termed In many respects after schools of
New York and Baltimore. A special COM
mittee, consisting of Col. Bidde Engineer
Commissioner of the District; James Knox
Iaylor, supervising architect of the Treas
ury Department, and Wi am E. ChanceI-
lor, superintendent of public instruction.
considering plans for improving the school
structures here, has returned from Balti-
more and New York, where the members
inspected many new buildings. Col Biddle
today said the trip was profitable in that
he and his colleagues observed a number
of things in the way of the arrangement of
class rooms, stairways and ventilation con-
sidered worthy of adoption here
The committee departed last Monday In
the Monumental city the members visited
a score of new school buildings. Col. Biddle
states that the Girls High School is one of
the finest and most complete structures of
its kind in existence. He was we'll pleased
with the old Boys High School, although it
was built ten years ago. The most notice.
able feature of the schools in Baltimore is
the amount of light and ventilation pro-
vided.
Cleanliness and Completeness.
The Commissioner was surprised at the
cleanliness and completeness of the pub
lie schools In New York. The new ones
are large, handsome, imposing structures
built without regard to the cost" he said
LAS general rule. the buildings are very
high, in most instances five stories. I was
interested in the fact that few of the newer
schools have no fire escapes. In the place
of escapes numerous StairwayS are built
in the building, which plan l believe better
than fire escapes. In order to give some
idea of the size of the New York schools,
few Of them accommodate less than 1000
children, while some can comfortably ac
commodate 5000
1.-The ground upon which these buildings
are constructed is exceptionally high" Col
Bddle explained. "a number of the schools
which we visited were built on ground that
cost the city from 100000 to 100000. It is
needless to say that little of this ground
has been devoted to Fairgrounds for the
school children. However, a number of
the schools are built opposite or near pub
lie parks, and the pupils play in them dur
ing recess time Another feature Of the
New York schools, which is worthy of
adoption here, is large assembly or lecture
rooms generally on the first floor These
big rooms hold from 1000 to 2 600 persons
The assembly rooms are used for lectures
and nearly every night during the school
term there Is lecture or meeting of some
kind and it is surprising how popular they
are and how many school children find it
agreeable to attend
The committee also visited West Orange
n j. and inspected several buildings there
they being similar to school structures
here.

Although nothing Is said at the White
House in reply to the reported declaration
of ex-Representative Wadsworth that the
President Is "fakir and humbug' and that
1.-The country is fast awakening to the real
character of this bloody hero of Kettle
HILL" it is unofficially stated that the
Presidents real object in asking for the
resignation of Archie Sanders, collector of
internal revenue of the Rochester district,
is to fill the vacancy with some man favor
able to Gov Hughes and his policies. 1t is
emphatically stated that if Collector Sand
ers does not forward his resignation with
reasonable speed his official head will be
promptly chopped off and his successor,
who has already been selected. announced
The statement is further offered that the
post office appointments that have been
made recently In the District have been
with the purpose of aiding Gov. Hughes,
and that Mr.. WadSworth had no reason to
expect to name the appointees, inasmuch
as the longtime policy of this adrhinistra-
ton and others has been to recognize the
recommendations Of the new representa-
tive. provided he is a republican. The White
House regards Representative Peter Porter,
the successor of Mr.. Wadsworth. as re-
publican, and his recommendations will, in
the main, be followed.
So far as Speaker Wadsworth the son of
ex-Representative Wadsworth, is concerned
the w mite House asserts tndt There is
feeling against him and that the EFFORTS
that have been made to get the administra-
ton to fight him have been unavailing. In
addition, it is said the administration has
done whatever was possible to hold up
Speaker Wadsworth's hands, and will con-
tinue to do so.
The announcement that the removal OF
Sanders Is for the purpose OF aiding GOV.
Hughes in his fight in New York VIII
throw a scare into other federal onciais
in New York who may be identified with
the anti-Hughes fight, and 1t is now prob
able that other removals will follow. The
President, as heretofore stated, intends to
give whatever help he can to Gov. Hughes
in his fight to obtain certain legislation
from the New York legislature. and ne
stands ready to make other removals AS
a rule the federal officials in New York are
with the administration, having been per-
sonal appointees of the President, but there
are still a number of the old Plat men In
different parts of the state who are oolns
what they can to block Gov. Hughes. 1nese

TO STRAIGHTEN
KANKAKEE RIVER
Big Project on Foot to Con
fine Stream in Proper
Channel.
Especial to Lake County Times.l

Crown Point Ind, Aug. 2-B Mar
BILE of Wheatheld and Attorney 4. Hal
leck of Rensselaer,, came to the city
in an automobile yesterday for the
purpose of comforting with land own
ers of the Kankakee region regard
ing the matter of Strengthening the
river
1t is said that a petition is filed and
the case will be heard in the September
term of the Jasper county circuit
court.
1t is believed that the strengthening
of the river will not only result in
the drainage of large acres of marsh
lands but it will make the property
along the river much more available.
Millions of dollars are being spent in
the west for the reclamation Of arid
lands and the farmers of Lake county
are of the opinion that a reasonable
amount of money spent to reclaim
some of the rich lands in the Kanka-
kee basin will bring returns on the
money invested.
An effort is being made to create
a strong public sentiment in favor OF
this project and it is thought that the
wealth of the county will be greatly
increased thereby.

ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
ON COURT HOUSE
County Commissioners Ask
Contractors to Estimate
on 100000 Addition.

Crown Point. Ind. Aug. 3.-The
county commissioners today advertised
for bids on the new 100000 addition
to the Lake county court house. 1t
is known that there are several con
tracing firms which viii bid on the
new building, among them being Percy
Parry of this city and his father.
Architect Beers. who designed the
plans for the enlargement of the court
house will be in Crown Point Monday
to confer with the county commission
ers and the sheriff in reference to the
charging of the county Jail, which is
a crying necessity.
President Butler, of the state board
of charities, after making an eXamina-
ton of the county jail. found a bad
condition of affairs due to the fact that
the prisoners are crowded into such
limited quarters and orders that
something be done to relieve the
cramped conditions.
Poor House Needs Enlargement.
Butler also ordered that Superin-
tendent' Neinfeldt of the poor house
make some enlargements as he is now
unable to handle the large number of
applicants for admission to this place.
The contract for the building of the
addition of the court house Will be
let Saturday, Sept. ii.
The appropriation is for 100000 and
the bids must not be above the esti-
mates. The work the new build
ing must begin as soon as the contract
is let and the contract will require that
the building must be under roof be
fore Dec. 1, 1907, and must be COM
pleted in twelve months.
The people of Crown Point are look
ing forward with considerable interest
to these improvements and when the
building is turned over, it will be one
of the most attractive court houses in
the state.

Hobart, Ind, Aug. 2.-It is a pecu-

Plate and the Pennsylvania railroad
depots in this city caught fire yester-
day from sparks from engines of pass
ing trains.
The Nickel Plate depot was the first
to catch fire and the flames were ex-

partment was called to the Pennsyl-
vania depot where the flames were
making rapid progress but the fire

fire was soon put out.

very great but the fact that two de-
