Women Patients at Pittsford
Pittsford, Nov. 4.-Work has been
begun on a new building on the
grounds of the Vermont sanatorium.
The concrete foundation is being laid
southeast of the main group Of build
ings, among the pines in front OF the
women's cottage. II will be used as
a women's dormitory for eight pat
tents. 1t will be one story high and
open on one side with a central sit
ting room from which will open air
sleeping apartments sfong the side.
There will be heated dressing rooms,
lockers and other fixtures at the rear.
The building will be used only by
the stronger patients, those who have
been longest under treatment at the
sanatorium. As the institution has had
its full quota of patients for several
months and there is a long waiting
list OF many more women than men,
II was decided that by erecting the
new structure the demand could be
more quickly met

Factory workers.

IN oae blsck Of New York Arc 1000
ractory workers.
There is congestion Of Industries and
factories, as well as congestion of pop
ulatlon In New York. says the Sun
The committee on congestion of popu-
lation has been making Interesting
study fraln the records OF the depart
ment of labor of the state of the loca-
Ion OF factories and the number of
factories and workers to the acre In
the assembly districts OF Manhattan.
The significant fact was brought out
that IL per cent OF the factories and
Ill per cent OF the workers are pack
ed into 1.3 per cent OF the area Of
Manhattan in the sixth assembly dis
trict, with its 1856 acres, bounded by
East 4th street, Sd avenue, st. Marks
place, I'd avenue, I'd street, LIST avenue,
Houston, Eldridge. Stanton, Chrystie,
Division streets, Bowery, Canal street
and Broadway.
This assembly district Immediately
adJoins the Sth and 10th assembly dis
tricts, which are the most densely pop
ulated Of any in Manhattan, with over
$40 people to the acre.
Manhattan has 1880 factories and
S41 $50 workers In these factories, with
an acreage of 1908 The Bronx has
642 factories only and IS, 143 workers
sprinkled through It's area of 26,017
acres, less than one worker to the
acre, as against twenty-four to the
oere in Manhattan.
The department of labor gives the
following number of factories and en-
ployes In the other boroughs of Great
er New York Brooklyn, 1850 facto-
ries, with 1882 employees; Queens,
422 factories, with 201S0 employees
Richmond. 173 factories, with 1854
employees.
1t is when one makes a dividing line
between upper and lower Manhattan
at 14th street that the true significance
OF the crowding of factories In lower
Manhattan is evidenced, for in this
area, roughly cut off at 18th street,
$4,000 workers are located in about
2,700 acres.
AS the acme of density is the block
bounded by West Houston, Prince and
Crosby streets and Broadway, with 81
per cent of it's site covered with build
ings, density of 1910 workers to the
acre, and with a total of 1000 people
working In the block during 1906, the
year for which all the data are taken.
A large proportion of the buildings in
this block are twelve stories high
Another fact of Significance is that
In this book the assessed value OF
land, according to the report of the de.
partment of taxes and assessment, was
,S4S, or $25.0s a square foot
Does it pay to manufacture where
land costs this rate? who pays tn,
additional rent on the land, and could
factories easily remove to other Dor
oughs? These are some Of the ques
tions which the committee suggests az
a result of It's studies.

The appointment of P. F. Roosa as
manager of the Dominion Copper com

One of the largest ore bodies ever
opened in the state of Washington has
been encountered in the property of
the Lakeview Mining company, located
in the Oroville camp, where a long
crosscut tunnel has cut through a
gold-copper ledge, which has been
demonstrated to be rs feet in width.
The ore encountered is of high grade,
most of it of clean shipping quality,
containing high values in gold and
copper.

liable carload of ore yet sent from the

The directors of the Tonopah Min
ing company of Nevada have declared

The death has occurred in a most
peculiar manner of two miners named

The Rio Janeiro group of three

on a property located about 1000 fee

DEMONSTRATING
NATIONAL Committee NET.
CONVENTION WORK STARTED
Harmonious Meeting at Denver-T. A.
Bell of California Elected Temporary
Chairman Without Oppositon-Sat
isfactory to Bryan and Sullivan
Wcodson of Kentucky Is Secretary

Theodore A. Bell of California was
chosen as temporary chairman of the
democratic national convention by the
committee on arrangements. No selec-
ton was made for the permanent chair
manship, this matter going over until
the meeting of the full national COM
mittee is held The men most promi-
nently mentioned in this connection at
present are Representative Henry ID.
Clayton of Alabama and Judson p.
Harmon of Ohio Governor Joseph w.
Folk of Missouri and Senator Joseph
w. Bailey of Texas are also strongly
favored. Other appointments made by
the committee on convention arrange
ments, and which unquestionably will
be made permanent, were as follows:
General secretary, Urey Woodson of
Kentucky.
Assistant general secretary, Edwin
Stone of Washington, d. c..
Sergeant at arms, John /. Martin,
Missouri.
Chief assistant sergeant at arms, j.
S. Fem of Indiana.
Chief doorkeeper Eugene W. Sulli-
van, Illinois.
Parliamentarian, N. D. Crutchfield,
Kentucky.
Chaplain for the opening, day, Rt.
Rev. James ]. Keane, archbishop of
Wyoming.
Official stenographer, M. M. Blum
berg of Washington, D. c.
Those present at the committee
meeting Saturday were Chairman
Thomas Taggart, Secretary Urey
Woodson, Roger c. Sullivan, Illinois;
r. M. Johnson of Texas, James Dahl
man of Nebraska, Norman e. Mack of
New York. and Governor John e. Os-
borne of Wyoming. Two members,
John T. McGraw of West Virginia and
Clark Howell of Georgia, were absent
the proxy. of the former being held by
Mr. Sullivan of Illinois, while Urey
WooGson represented Mr.. Howell of
Georgia.
The temporary chairman was select.
ed unanimously within few minutes
after the committee met and without
another name being suggested. r. M
Johnson of Texas offered the motion
selecting Mr.. Bell as temporary chair
man and it was promptly adopted.
Little talk has so far been heard
concerning the platform, but it is gen
orally believed among the recognized
leaders now here that the fight over
the injunction plank" in the repub
lican resolutions committee may find
a parallel when the democratic plat
form builders are fairly at work. 1t is
generally understood that in the event
of the Bryan people securing control
of the resolutions committee the
declaration of principles will follow
closely the planks of the Lincoln
platform"
The vice presidential situation, from
the present outlook, offers the greatest
encouragement to that class of dele
gates which is looking always for ex
element at political convention.
