New skrscrnner Limit.

In the opinion of Ernest Flag, archi-
tect of the new Singer building at New
! York the tower Of which is the highest
building in the world for occupation, the
probable limit of height for these build
ings in New York City will be 1000 feet,
with a tower 100 feet square. or nearly
400 feet higher than the Singer building
Differing with the president Of the New
York fire underwriters, who recently
warned the public that there was danger
of great conHagration in the upper
stories Of the tall buildings beyond the
reach of existing ire-6ghting apparatus,
Mr., Flagg says that the only limit is
financial practieability. He insists that
buildings Of the type Of the Singer are the
safest as regards a roof-top couRagration,
because of the space about the tower,
which occupies only one-sixth Of the lot
space Were all the skyscrapers con
structed with the same proportion Of
space around the upper stories, he argues,
the danger Of destructive fire in that
upper region would be reduced to a mini
mum. Another point OF limitation to
which Mr.. Flagg calls attention is the ele-
vator service. He says one-hau eleya-
tors can be constructed to cover 1000
feet, but beyond that probably cannot be
made effective Those in the Singer

Honesty of women.

Statistics compiled by American
guarantee companies show that, as re-
CARDS honesty, women are superior TO
men. Wemen in America are employed
IN business as extensively as men, and
yet the record shows that almost every
embezzler and defaulter was a man.
There are more women cashiers than
men. The department stores and
places Of almost every kind employ
women to handle their receipts and
give change, yet there are 100 cases of
men cashiers stealing where there is
one Of woman taking her employers
money, strange as it may seem.

water that has been squeezed out and the

locked his certificates up in a TN box and
put them away in the safe deposit vault is
not likely TO suffer from the present
shrinkage. His property is worth just as
much as it ever was, but the certificates
no longer have the fictitious value given

ONFESS|0Ns IN
MORMON MEETING

The United States has rested in the
Mormon case" and the defense has
begun the introduction of testimony.
After Judge Dole announced his de-
cision yesterday morning that the con-
fession made in the Mormon church
meeting; if one was made, was not a
privileged communication, but was one
about which testimony could be given,
Assistant United States Attorney
Dunno began. putting in testimony
concerning it. Several witnesses who
were present at the meeting testified
to the proceedings and to the confess
sion made by George and Anna. None
of the witnesses refused to testify
when asked about it.
They all agreed that both the de-
PENDANT George Kekauoha and the
woman Anna confessed their guilt in
the. meeting, promised amendment, and
were absolved. They varied consider
ably as to the details. According to
one witness, Anna rose and confessed
her guilt, and then George rose and
confessed his guilt. Neither, however,
stated time or place.
The defense put on the stand Mrs.
Kekauoha, the wife of the defendant,
who gave testimony tending to contra
diet the testimony of witnesses for the
prosecution that she had instigated a
watch on her husband to detect him in
Illicit wiles. She also testified that the
lamp which some of the witnesses tes-
tilted to seeing extinguished after
George and Anna had gone into the
house and pulled down the blinds, had
been broken about Christmas, nearly
two months before the blind closing
episode.
The case will continue today.
