The selection OF John Harte, the con-

of this beautiful cafe was only another
move in obtaining the greatest and finest

Nothing Left to Chance.

The entire building ana every detail in
this building, even including the furniture,
the fixtures in the kitchen and the
Matthews gravity carriers for dishes,
were designed for this particular place
and for each room or space in
which such furniture or fittings are placed.
Nothing whatever was let to chance, but
everything was specifically designed. This
is particularly noticeable throughout the
establishment from the basement to the
top floor. AS example of this, 1t may be
mentioned that even the cases and all OF
the fittings in the basement restaurant were
designed to obtain this harmonious effect.

soft sunlight effect as in the lower

blending of the autumnal colors from the
deepest browns to the lightest shade of

the panels beneath blends tremendously
into the seplas browns and tans of the
frieze which in turn blends into the heavy
prima vera or white mahogany beams of
the ceiling. The panels between these
beautiful wood beams are Of light cream.
The lighting effect is obtained by placing
ceiling lights in these panels.
This room architecturally is perfectly
adapted for its purpose. and is for the use
of small and large banquets. Adjoining
this room is a small banquet hall. carried

BANK EXAMINATION
LAW NEEDS FIXING.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Defects in
methods of bank examination and the
inability of the comptroller of the cur
rency to deal with infractions of the
banking laws without resorting to such
harsh punishment as the closing Of the
offending national Institutions, have
been pointed out to the national none
atary commission by high officials of
the treasury department. Any gen
eral revision of the national banking
laws is not contemplated by the pres
ent hearings, all of which are execu-
tive. Such changes as will be recon-
mended, in all probability, will be con-
fined to amendments which can be
made without friction between bank
ers and officials charged with the en-
forcement of the national banking
laws. 1t is not intended to provide
for any general revision of the laws
in advance of the full report of the
commission, which will not be made
until the first regular session of the

POISON IN LETTER
KILLS TRAVELLING MAN

San Francisco, Dec. 3.--The police
are investigating what appears to be
a case of poison sent in letter from
San Jose to this city. Henry Bose,
a salesman, died in his room this
morning under circumstances indicat-
ing poison. 1t was later ascertained
that the poison was contained in a let
ter mailed at San Jose which was
received by Bose yesterday. Detec-
tives have been unable to determine
whether he took the poison after read
ing the letter or whether it was con-
|cealed in candy or was an apparently
harmless tablet which he ate without
being aware of its nature.
Later it was learned the letter con
tanned two powders for the relief OF
indigestion and directions for their
use. 1t was signed "Charles McSower
NJ. D." A detective has gone to San
Jose, where Bose formerly lived with
a Mrs. Walker, to learn if she can
throw light on the subject.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec 3.-Radical
and determined methods were used
by unknown parties last night in an
effort to divert the swift current of
the Arkansas river from in front OF
Pine Bluff. Throughout the night
loud explosions shook the city. Dyna
mite was freely used in an attempt to
protect city property. Today more
than 100 yards of land op'
posite Pine Bluff, known as Birds
Point, including a four-room resi-
dence, had disappeared and the river
is sweeping past the city in a wider
channel and with less force on the
endangered bank. The river is ex
pected to recede tonight. The court
house and Jefferson hotel, which were
regarded in danger of collapse, are
still intact today.

Assistant Forester of United States
Says Top Notch of Perfection
Has Been Reached.

Washington, Dec. 3.-That the tor
notch of the production OF lumber ir
the United States was reached during
the past year and that from now on
the annual production would either
remain the same as last year or would
show a decrease, was the startling
announcement made before the Ma
tional Conservation Commission by
yOverton w. Price, assistant forester
of the United States forest service. He
also said that the annual cut of tim
Der last year would cover piece of
land 1000 acres in area and would
make pile as high as the Washing
ton monument.
1T has been estimated" continued
Mr.. Price, that our industries sub
sisting wholly or mainly upon wood
would pay the wages of more than L.
100000 persons; that the Original for
ests covered one-half Of the United
States and existing forests cover only
one-fourth, and that only 70 per cent
of our public forests and less than
one per cent of our private forests are
conserved by us.
"The average growth in all our for
ests is about twelve cubic feet per
acre, or total of seven billion cubic
feet. But we take from the forests
twenty-three billion cubic feet eAch
year, or over three times what they
produce"
