building at State and Quincy streets, oc'
cupied by the Golden Shoe Company
early today.
The fire broke out in the top floor IN
the repair department, and before the
firemen arrived had spread to the next
floor below. The burning leather filed
the building with dense smoke, and
the firemen, unable to enter the struc-
ture. were compelled to fight the flames
from the roofs of adjoining buildings
The five fremen were on fire escape at
the time they were overcome.
D. NJ. Mcintosh, manager of the con-
cern, said that the company carried q
stock of more than 100000, and that

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Dr. William
Polls. of the German weather bureau. a
member of the International Aeronauti.
cal Congress, has sailed for home after
several months stay in this country dur
ing which he made careful study of
American methods Of weather observa-
tion, with the personal assistance Of Di-
rector Moore. He said before leaving
that he had found the American system
of weather observation far superior to
that of Germany, and he was returning
with some valuable inormation for adop-
tion by the German bureau. Dr.. Polls
said that when he told President Roose-
welt this, the President smilingly re-
Piled:
n am glad that we have something
in this country that German considers
superior to that of his country. 1t is
usually the other way. The Germans
are more scientific than we are, but we
are more practical"

is an agent Of the Seattle Board of
Health, novel swindler has duped
many housewives by selling them pack
ages Of white powder for % cents each,
declaring the board OF helth has decided
it is the proper thing to kill rats and
that an order has been passed requiring
every resident in Seattle to have one
package. The housewives believed the
bogus health agent and bought the pack
ages Of powder, which were later
found to contain nothing but pure chalk
dust. The swindler made canvass OK
the district at Yesler way and Fifteenth
avenue, and it is claimed he sold a

REGULATE CORPORATIONS.
Louisiana Proposes Legislation at Extra
Session Just Convened.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3l.--The pas
sage in Louisiana of law similar to
those recently enacted or proposed in
other Southern States for the regulation
of corporations was today presented be-
fore the extra session of the State As
sembly by proclamation of Lieutenant
Governor Sanders.
The ousting from the state OF cor
porations by state law is one Of the
measures suggested. Others include in
vestigation and regulation OF telephone,
telegraph railroad and express bust
ness. The extra session meets tomor-
row. The fact that the leutenant-goy-
ernor's proclamation is issued during
the absence of Governor Blanchard, only
four days after the latter's unexpected
call for an extra session, created unus'
ual interest. Lieutenant Governor San
ders is one of the candidates for the
nomination for Governor in the ap-
preaching Democratic state primary
election. Governor Blanchard's call was
issued last Saturday night. soon after
he left for the jamestown Exposition
Governor Blanchard's call laid before the
assembly as being an investigation Of
New Orleans port conditions and reduc'
tions in the state tax department. The
telephone investigation has already been
started Independently.

Panama Canal Committee Ask
for Appropriation.
HOUSEC0MMITTEET TOINSPECT
Representative Tawney and Other Mem
bers Leave for Canal to Make Per-
sonal Inquiry-S3a,ooo,ooo Asked for
Construction for Fiscal Year.

NEW YORK, Oct, 3l,-Representatiye
James A. Tawncy OF Minnesota, accom-
panied by the other members OF the
committee OF appropriations OF the
house of representatives, of which he is
the chairman, will leave New York to-
day on the steamship Colon for the
Isthmus to make personal inquiry into
the present ard prospective monetary
needs of the Panama canal.
I'VE are making the trip said Mr..
TawneS today, ''mainly because the
lsthmian canal commission has asked
for an appropriation OF $S2,oO0,O0O,
with which to continue its work for the
fiscal year beginning July /, 1908.
Congress fixed arbitrarily the cost OF
the canal at $l3s,0OOO00. Thus far Con-
gress has authorized the issuance OF
CdlIti DOnus W lHt eAtchV VI % i,oVu,VVV
If we find that the estimate of S32,.
100000 made by the commission for con-
tinuing the work of construction through
the next fiscal year is correct, we shall
unhesitatingly grant it. Ii we grant that
sum then the actual cost OF the canal to
the first of July. 1900, will be 100000
900, or $3000O,000 short of the original
cost of construction. exclusive of the
$40,00O.0OO we paid to the New Panama
Canal Company for its property and
franchise rights and $l000O,00O to the
Republic of Columbia for our franchises
At the present rate of construction the
work ought to be completed by Janu
ary /, 1914, but in order to be on the
safe side l will give years leeway and
fix the date of completion at the first
of january 1915. ! also estimate thai
the total cost of construction will bs
not less than $25OOOO,OO0, thus making
the canal cost us in actual cash $500,

For some time past the Impression

that this accounted for the delay ~

That the government believes the

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.--Indications
that the available supply Of cash would
be materially increased within a short
time with imports of gold, and an in
crease Of bank note circulation and that
the movement Of cotton and grain crops
would be facilitated in every way pos
sible with the result Of increasing our
credits abroad, were salient features Of
today's financial situation. 1t seemed
to be recognized everywhere that the
acute stage Of the crisis was over and
that all that remained was to obtain
sufficient currency to resume currency
payments upon a broad scale and thus
restore conditions prevailing before the
crisis Engagements of gold made in
New York. Chicago and elsewhere
brought up the total import movement
within the past week to s23.750,OO0. AS
this amount of gold will form the basis
credit for four times that amount, or
about $95O00.OO0 it will in isself afford
much relief to existing conditions. The
action of the Bank Of England in rails
ing its discount rate from 4 IL to 5 IL

ations. The fact that the increase was
not made to percent and that the
English rate remains one percent below
the German rate is accepted as an in
dication that in London the situation u

10 the methods OF conducting such
events and the restrictions imposed. The
committee appointed by the directors OF
the American Automobile Association n
month ago to consider the future policy
Of the national organization on this
important matter have agreed upon a
report which will be acted upon by the
association in the near future.
The committee does not make the
radical recommendation that the track
contests be abolished but propose
changes to the sanction giving power
that will mean q material reduction in
the number OF such events, while ut the
same time safeguarding them to the
greatest possible extent
Most important Of these changes are
that no sanction shall be granted for
any track meet except to club or
organization affiliated with the Ameri'
can Automobile Association; that such
action shall be accompanied by photo
graph of the track turns and certif-
cate stating that every detail of the
track and grounds has been carefully
examined. The American Automobile
Association will then appoint referee
who shall pass upon the fitness not only
of the track, but Of the competing cars
and drivers. He will have power to
refuse drivers to compete who are
known as reckless drivers.
That strong sentiment against track
racing exists throughout the country
was indicated by the result of the club
vote asked for on this question Presi'
dent Hotchkiss announced that of 81
clubs voting 81 were against the grant
ing Of any track sanctions. Three were
in favor Of holding races under certain
restrictions while only three voted fol
