This is a good plan for a seven-roOm

building a wing or L-shaped house.
The l. extension gives an opportunity

There is an opportunity to vary the
roof design in a construction like this.
A house root has more influence on
the final finish of the house than most
may be changed into a model for an
artist simply by the addition of a roof
extension, a dOrmer window or some
variation in contour that adapts the
roof to the general style of the house
and its surroundings.
There are many houses in u
American cities covered with very
homely roofs. A roof that looks we'll

the hat on a man; it is all right when

cuuragingly about an additional ap-

The governor also informed Mr..
Brooks that the bill authorizing the

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF CORPORATE WEALTH
Message Is Received too Late to
be Read and House Is too Busy
to Receive It--PreSident Reit-
crates Well Known Ideas of
Important Pending Laws.

Washington, April 2S.-Conditions
i'm both the Senate and the House
were such that the special message of
the president, further outlining his
views as to action. which was sent
to Congress yesterday, received but
scant attention. The message arrived
late in the day and the House was so
tied up under it's new rules that it
could not officially receive the mes
sage, while the Senate was in the
midst of consideration of the naval
appropriation bill under the ten
minute rule when the document
reached that body. Unlike the House,
the Senate permitted the formal pre-
sentltiOn of the message, but it could
not at that time be laid before the
senate, and by the time the naval bill
had been disposed of the hour was
so late and the attendance so small
that no attempt was made to read
the document. The first few lines
only had been pronounced by the
clerk when it was suggested that the
further reading should be postponed
until today This suggestion was
adopted and the Senate adjourned.
The presidents message in part, is
as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
In my message to the Congress of
March Is, 1908. | outlined certain
measures which ! believe the major
| ity of our countrymen desire to have
! enacted into law at this time. These
| measures do not represent by any
means all that 1 would like to see
done if thought it possible, but they
do represent what I believe can now
be done if an earnest effort toward
| this end is made.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE
CAUSES TROUBLE
Three Kinds of Rows In the Little
Republic Calls the Secretary
From WdShinqton--EleCtionS
Threaten to Disturb Peace
and Stop Work.

Washington, April 2S.-Secretary
Taft Will go to the canal zone this
week to try to smooth out the trouble
that has arisen in the republic of
Panama. The decision to have the
secretary go at once was reached at
a cabinet meeting after long discus
SION of the situation on the isthmus.
An official statement from the White
House announced the fact of the trip
but nothing was said of the reasons
tor II. 1t was evident that the pres
ident did not feel that 1t could be
longer delayed.
There are three kinds of trouble in
the opublic--friction with the canal
administration, elections and boun-
dary dispute with the republic of Co.
lombia. The first has Oeen in evil
dence for a long time. The second
has been developing as the date for

and the third has grown more or less
acute In the last few weeks follow

ministration grows out of trades ques-

Taft He has been wanting to go to
The isthmus for some time but has
been prevented by the press of other
work. 1t was his intention to go soon
after his return from his trip around
the world. 1t is this canal situation
which has retained him in the cabinet
for the last two months. He would
have resigned in February but the
president insisted that he should con-
tinue as secretary Of war and remain
in charge of canal affairs in order to
be available for just such an emer-
gency as has now arisen.

l!tical managers here by surprise. a

Reiterates His Demands.

Since | wrote this message an en-
ployers liability law has been enact
ed which 1t Is true, comes short of
what ought to have been done, but
which does represent real advance.
Apparently there is good ground to
hope that there will be further legis-
lation providing for recompensing all
employees who suffer injury while en-
gagged in the public service; that there
will be a child labor law enacted for
the District Of Columbia; that the
waterways commission will be con-
tinued with sufficient financial sup
port To increase the effectiveness OF
its preparatory work; that steps will
be taken to provide for such legisla-
tions into tariff conditions by the ap-
proprate COMMITTEES of the House Of
Representatives and by government
experts i'm the government service as
will secure the full information ne
cessary for intelligently revising the
tariff at the hands Of the Congress
elected next fall, and finally, that fl
rancial legislation will be enacted
providing for the temporary measures
for meeting any trouble that may
arise in the next year or two, and for
commission of experts who shall
thoroughly investigate the whole mat
ter, both here and in the great COM
mercial countries abroad, so az to be
able to recommend legislation which
viii put our financial system on an
efficient and permanent basis. 1t is
much to be wished that one feature
of the financial legislation of this ses-
sion should be the establishment Of
postal savings banks. Ample approp-
riations should be made to enable the
interstate commerce commission to
carry out the very important feature
of the Hepburn law which gives to
the commission supervision and con-
troll over the accounting systems Of
the railroads. Failure to provide
means which will enable the commis-
sion 90 examine the books Of the rail-
ways would amount 20 an attack on
the law ~ its most vital point and
would benefit as nothing else could
benefit those railways which are cor
ruptly or incompetently managed.
Forest reserves should be established
throughout the Appalachian noun
tain region wherever il can be shown
that they will have direct and real
