BUILDING is BOOMING

Residences and School Buildings Build
Ing by the Dozen In Ginter Park.
The thirty-fourth new residence and
an ideal school building are now
being constructed in G;nter Park. This
is the record for less than two years,
and has never been equaled in the
history OF Richmond's suburban de-
velopment. Every one OF these is
within the limits OF the Park, and does
not include many others nearby.
The best part OF it is that large
percentage of them are most substan-
tial in character. being OF brick or
cement stucco, and the average cost
is far above that of any other section.

A COMMUNITY OF
HOME OWNERS.

This spring there has been tre-
mendous demand for houses to rent in
Ginter Park, and there is nothing to
be had, as it is community OF own

homes could be built and leased to
excellent advantage to choice tenants
or sold at fair profit right now.

TO GET OUT OF CUBA.
Taft Thinks We Can Make 1t in the
Spring of 1909.

Washington Jan. 13.-As far as he
can Secretary Taft has committed the
government to a promise to withdraw
completely from the Cuba in the begin
ming of spring in 1909 This pledge is
contained in letter from the war sec
retary to the president transmitting the
report of Governor Magoon for the past
year. After directing attention to the
fact that the report from the governor
shows the conditions in Cuba to be en-
couraging Secretary Taft says:
1T was hoped by some that the CEN
sus might be completed in September
last. I did not think so and I am not
at all surprised to learn that the CEN
sus has not yet been completed and
probably will not be until April or May.
This will postpone the local elections
until June, the presidential election un-
til December and the installation of the
president and congress and the turning
over of the island until about March or
April of 1909. This is in compliance
with our promise when we assumed
temporary control of Cuba and it seems
to me we ought not allow anything to
interfere with carrying out that prom
ise There are important interests that
would be glad to delay our stay there
for years. Both good faith and good
Judgment requires us to leave at the
time appointed"
The report of Governor Magoon con-
stitutes an exhaustive history of the
American intervention in Cuba and of
the progress of the island under Amer
lean control.

Union Station at Kansas City
Has Narrow Escape
From Total Destruction by Fire
Early Today.
LOSS NEAR S25O,OOO.
Started From Crossed Wire i'm
Branch POstOffice.
Government and Express Conn.,
panies Are Heavy Losers.

kansas City, Mo-. Jan. 13.-The
union station annex in Union avenue.
adjoining the Union Railway station.
was destroyed by fire early today The
Union station proper, one of Kansas
City's land marks, was saved by the
f1remen after a hard fight The
burned building contained the receiv-
ing offices of the Adams, Wells Fargo
and Pacific express companies, a
branch mailing room of the postoffice,
the offices of the Fred Harvey Eating
House company, the Pullman Palace
Car company's linen room and the
Railway Mems Y. NJ. c. A. rooms.
The loss is estimated at close to a
quarter OF a million dollars.
The building was two stories in
height and one hundred and eighty
feet in length. running from Santa Fe
street along Union avenue to within
100 feet of the main portion of the
station.
The fire started at o'clock from
crossed electric light wires over the
regiStery department of the mailing
room. The fire burned ruriously and
for time threatened the destruction
of the station and sheds, used by 20
different railroads and to spread to
several hotels across Union avenue
and into the wholesale district The
the firemen were able to save but
three sacks of common mail and a
small portion of express matter.
Thirty-five sacks of registered and
some other mail matter were de-
stroyed, with a great number of ex-
press packages, a large supply Of
| linen in the Pullman rooms, the en-
tire contents of the Fred Harvey Of
| fees, which was the headquarters for
| that companys system. and the Ii
| brary, furnishings and apparatus in
the Y. M. c. A. rooms.
| The Y. NJ. c. A. quarters had been
partially furnished by Miss Helen
Gould. The building and heating
plant were owned by the Union Sta
| ton company, whose loss is placed at
| 100000. The Fred Harvey COM
pany's loss is $4,000. 1t is difficult to
accurately estimate the loss of the
| express companies. the government
| the Pullman company and the Chris
| ton association, which however. will,
it is believed, bring the total to
I $250,000.

IT WON'T DO.
Sunday Closing Ordinance Not Valid.
Says Dreaming.

The new Sunday closing theater ordi-
nance which F. G. Drenning,. city attor-
ney, drew up with an idea of supporting
the ordinance now on the statute books by
attacking the theaters from a new want
age point has been so amended by the
council committee on police that 1t fails
of the purpose for which it was drawn, is
the assertion of the city attorney.
1T is practically the same thing that
who was wrathful at first when he dis
covered the way the committee had
changed his ordinance.
The first ordinance and the one in ef-
feet and force arrives at the Sunday
closing of theaters through the channel
which provides that laboring on Sunday
is p msdemeanor.
The theaters are fighting the enforce
ment of the ordinance and it is now being
threshed out in the district court.
Drenning, in the meantime. drew UP a
%new ordinance which provided that the
theaters should remain closed on Sunday
and drawn up in accordance with the pro-
vision that gives the city council and the
mayor the right to regulate certain call
ings, professions and business. The police
committee consulted with certain attor-
neys and changed the enacting clause,
providing that the word regulate" should
be changed to prohibit" This would

But now that it has been amended Mr.

City Is Isolated From World by
Sleet Storm.
Communication by Wire or Rail
Almost Impossible.
ONE TRAIN is LOST
Can't Find Santa Fe's Pacific
Coast Due Last Night.
Thousands of Men Needed to
Repair the Damages.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Chicago's tele-
graphic communication with the outer
world, which practically was paralyzed
by yesterdays sleet storm, was slow
! ly being restored to normal condition
today. The construction departments
were busy all last night in the work Of
repairing poles and broken wires. En-
ergency cables were sent out by the
telegraph companies and were strung
| along fences in the rural districts.
Two hundred poles in the vicinity of
Grand Crossing were carried to the
ground and a number along the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway com
panyis western division. There was less
damage to the lines of the Illinois Cen
trail which left open communication to
some points in the south. Telegraph1c
service of all roads, however, was more
or less affected.
Considerable inconvenience also was
caused 10 patrons of the long distance
telephone service, many wires being
blown down
With fire alarm and police telephone
devices practically out of commission,
the old watch-tower system-used only
upon extreme occasions-was resorted
to. All day yesterday and throughout
last night fremen were stationed eth
er in the towers surmounting station
houses or at vantage point that would
best enable them to detect a blaze In
the vicinity in order that the depart
ment might respond promptly
Most of the mail trains entering Chi
cago ran behind their schedules The
heaviest sufferers were the through
trains from the north and from the
south and from the southwest. Only
one train, however, was reported abso-
lutely lost. That was the Pacific coast
train of the Santa Fe system, due in
Chicago at 9:17 o'clock in the evening.
Dispatchers along the line reported at
late hour that the wires were all
down and that they were unable to To-
cate the through train. She is suppos-
ed to be fighting her way blindly tow
ard Chicago at reduced speed.

line, put into Racine yesterday in a

Their Fines.

c. w. Ramsey and N. A. Reed, the
two suspects arrested Saturday af-
ter they had jumped from a Rock
Island train and ran two miles, got
out of Jail this morning. and are on
their way. The police could find
nothing against them except their
suspicious actions. They were fined
$50 each for "trespassing on railroad
property" for the purpose of holding
them for investigation, the intention
being to remit the fine after an in
vestigation could be made. Last night
Ramsey complained of being sick. and
his partner consented that he pay
himself out When the men were ar
rested Reed had SAT and Ramsey $43,
not enough to let both out. but a
plenty for one. Ramsey, upon being
released, flew the town, without max
ing any visible effort to free his COM
panion, but Reed sent some kilograms,
and this morning a woman who
claimed to be his wife. dropped in
with plenty of money, peeled off a, $50
bill, and they departed.

FINANCE SKY CLEAR.
Surplus in the Reserve Removes the
Last Cloud.

New York, Jan. 13.-The rapid
clearing up of the banking situation
and the release of large supplies of
credits to the none ymarkets were the
events in the financial world. The
New York bank statement of the pre-
vious week gave the first decisive out
line of the turn in the situation. The
statement on Saturday, showing a six
million dollar surplus, has brilliantly
confirmed the weeks impressions. The
effect has spread throughout the
money markets of the world and has
sent supplies back into the loan mar
ket with something like a rush. 1t
was obvious that funds which had
been withheld through lingering
spirit Of distrust of the banks posi-
ton or as a precaution against possi-
BILE extra demands were returning
freely to central reserve points. The
basis of credits is greatly expanded
by this process.
The surrender of the privilege Of
deposit of part of their cash in the
reserve and central reserve cities and
it's recall home in the panic was the
central factor in producing the bank
ing crisis, and the retention Of this
cash was the cause of the prOlongaton
of the crisis and the maintenance of
the premium on currency. The anx-
iety caused by that prolongation up to
the end of the year may be seen to be
now completely dissipated, so far as
accommodation to solvent business is
concerned. New York has ceased to
draw gold from London and rapid re-
cuperation of the Bank of England
bullion holding has followed. The
Bank of France marked down it's Off
cial discount rate from to u pei
cent and market rates of discount re-
| ceded in all the foreign markets.
In New York the most importan,
| effort of the new developments was
| the springing up of an active demand
| for commercial paper, which effec-
| lively relieved the deadlock in thai
department and Quieted the fears Of
widespread embarrassment in the
mercantile world from inability to Sc
cure extension of large maturing obli-
| cations.
| In the securities market the effec'
of this increase of facilities for con-
| Quoting speculative operations has
| been pronounced. The resulting out
break of speculation showed increas-
| ing animation and was stimulated bJ
various professional devices and by
| the dissemination of rumors of i'm
portant developments. The ne~Ns OF
| a large uncovered short interest was
an important contributing factor tc
| the rapid advance which developed
and furnished the material for much
of the demand forced by the bidding
up of prices by the organized bull
| party in the marekt.

troops was expected and urged by
them to make such a plan feasible
Action Was Not justified.

Conditions at Goldfield, the report as
serts, did not justify calling for the
troops. The single case of the unlaw-
full use of dynamite, which failed to
accomplish any damage, was sur
rounded by such circumstances, the
report says, as to raise a reasonable
doubt as to the genuineness of the
charge that members of the union
the testimony of the operators tended
to show, according to the report, not
the existence of past or present disor-
der, but the possibility of future dis
turbances should the troops be with
drawn. This view was held by many
men of almost all classes, but Was
based on the changed conditions since
the troops had arrived: namely, the
declaration of the operators reducing
wages and refusing to employ union
men, the report sets forth a statute OF
the state prohibiting such discrimina-
ton. The commission expresses itself
as satisfied that out of the entire mem
bership in the miners union there are
not over few hundred men of dan
gerous reputation, while the great ma
jority, probably three-fourths of the
members of the union, were conceded
to be men of law abiding tendencies.
The report adds:
by permitting their organization to
be managed and controlled by men of
violent tendencies, the union as a body
has thus laid itself open to a reproach
of being a vicious organization. In
view of the foregoing facts we believe
there is considerable danger that seri-
GUS disorders will be attempted if the
troops are Withdrawn and the mine op-
orators insist on carrying out their
publicly announced policy. But If a
handful of men have controlled the
Goldfield Miners union and committed
the organization to indefensible poll
cies and practices it is no reason why
the county of Esmeralda and the state
of Nevada should tamely submit to the
domination of this same group and
should not assert their authority and
power and enforce respect for law and
order without support of federal
trOOns
