MAY Be SEVEN STORIES
Rumor Revived That Aucrbachs Are
Soon TO Erect Elegant New Build
ing on Main Street Property.

A rumor obtained in real estate cir
cles this morning, that the Auerbach
estate was making active preparations
to erect the impressive business struc-
ture contemplated some time ago, on
the Main street property. Manager
Wallace, on being asked for informa-
ton, replied that In tho course of the
ensuing Is months, the conditions OF
their business would make such step
Imperative; but up to date, nothing
definite had been decided on in any
matter of detail. He also knew Moth
ing of any street that it was proposed
to cut through east and west through
the center OF the block.
The Auerbachs own a frontage of
about 100 IT. from a, c. Smiths drug
store to the Callahan's Book store
which Is susceptible OF Improvement IN
the way OF building for the future,
and upon which real estate men place
a valuation OF $4,000 to tho front foot
very valuable property. The busl-
ness OF II. Auerbach a. Bro has grown
50 In the last few years as to make
the present quarters inadequate 10 ac-
commodate Il; and the plan is 10 erect
a seven-story building on the site now
occupied by Galloway, Hoock & Fran
els and VIII Gray, where the firm will
remove and occupy until the now build
ing IS extended for the remainder OF the
frontage to A. c. Smiths store. The
enlarged structure will make an Inn
pressve appearance, and give II. Auer-
bach a Co. ample room to branch

A UNIQUE OPERATION.
Ends of Broken vertebrae Cut on and
Cushioned.

New York. Jan. 3o.--Two young sur
geons at Bellevue hospital last night
performed an operation which is said to
be unique in surgical history. Near
ly two months ago. MichaelS Fitz-
patrick, a trusty in the Tombs prison.
fell down an elevator shaft in the
prison and broke his back, He was
removed to Bellevue but 1t was thought
nothing could be done for him. He

ton f. Lewis and DR.. Dudley s. Con-
ley. who were graduated from Column
bia medical school last year, became
much interested in his case Four of
Fitzpatrick's vertebrate were broken
and the ragged ends We're pressing
against the spine, paralyzing the en-
tire body. The operation consisted in
cutting off the ends of these vertebrae
with crescent shaped saw and wind
ing the stubs of each one with tissue
rubber, making a cushion of each. II
was believed last night that the oper-
alton had been entirely successful
Fitzpatrick must remain for several
months on rubber water-bed.

THEORY OF TWO STREAMS
OF STARS DlSPROVED

Albany, Jan. 30.-Prot. Lewis Boss of
the Dudley observatory, which is sup
ported by the Carnegie fund, announces
that he has disproved the theory that
there are two streams of stars moving
in opposite directions. which theory was
recently promulgated by II. Kapteyn. a
famous Dutch astronomer and general
ly accepted by astronomers. The Dud-
ley observatory is the only one in the
world engaged In the same work as that
IN which Prof. Kapteyn is engaged ana
is mapping all the stars visible to the
naked eye and recording their move
ments as nearly as possible. While the
work has been going on only a year
and much more remains to be done,
Prof. Boss and his assistants say they
have gone far enough to be able to
positively prove that Kapteyn's theory
Is untenable. They believe that the mis-
take was due to the inadeo aacy of the
Dutch professors equipment.

For S1,619.20.

Harrisburg Pa, Jan. 30,Stsntord
b. Lewis, associate of Architect, Joseph
M. Huston, was forced to divulge at
the morning session of the trial of the
state capitol conspiracy Cases, test-
mony of a damaging nature to the
architects interest.
Under a rigid INSTRUMENTATION by
counsel for the defense, Lewis virtual
ly admitted that the blue print plans
for capitol furniture, particularly the
sofas, were indefinite.
Lewis refused to give the measure
ncnts of sofas, tables and clothing
trees produced before the jury, saying
that he did not make the computa-
ton, whereupon he was compelled by
counsel for the defense TO measure a
sofa and clothes tree. All of this fur
niture was furnished by SRnderson at
the rate of $3.50 per foot"
The morning session was character
lied by frequent clashes of counsel,
showing that the defense proposes to
fight bitterly every inch Of ground and
force, through the state witnesses,
justification of Sandersons measure
nents, which the prosecution alleges
We're falsihed.
The now famous bootblack stand for
the senate lavatory supplied by Con-
tractor John II. SandersOn, of Phila-
delphia, one of the defendants In the
state capitol conspiracy suits, was Of
fered in evidence by the commonwealth
today. Sanderson collected Sl,6l9.22o
from the state for this stand and paid

supplied sl25. Photographs of the ros-
trums Of the senate and house caucus

son $50. 1850 and for which he paid

of the Audit company Of New York
We're called by the commonwealth To
establish the measurements of the So
fas, clothes trees and tables produced
before the jury. All of this furniture
was supplied by Sanderson at the rate
of $3.50 per foot and according to
the commonwealth, he was paid for
certrain articles at the rate of three
times the actual measure.
The commonwealth also offered sew
eral bills for furnishings supplied by

TO STOP GREAT LOSS ON
MOVING EMPTY CARS

Chicago, Jan. 30.--A special meeting
of the American Railway association
has been called for Chicago Feb. for
the purpose OF adopting measures to
stop the tremendous loss occasioned
by the present movement of empty cars
on the railroads of the country.
1t is the first special meeting In the
history OF the association and the emer-
gency is regarded as great 1t Is stated
that since the falling off in traffic be-
gan several million dollars have been
wasted by the railroads In their frantic
efforts TO send the empty cars Of other
railroads home and thereby escape the
penalty of so cents a day for the use
of a foreign car. This penalty was inn
posed by the association less than one
year ago 10 accomplish the very thing
which the railroads are now anxious to
stop. At the time that the 80 cents
penalty was imposed, however the
railroads were more than 10000 cars
short of the number required to take
care of the traffic offered. Ii was,
therefore. desired to Insure the speedy
return of freight equipment to the road
owning the cars and TO prevent roads
which were short OF equipment from re-
taining and using cars belonging to
other lines.
Now the situation has so materially
changed that there are at least $50, 900
idle freight cars In the United States
and no road desires the speedy return
OF its equipemnt. II is stated that fully
one fifth of the entire freight car
movement recently has been that OF
empty ears being hurried to the own
ing or home roads. This movement
costs an immense amount OF money
and the railroads have come to the con.
cluslon that II would be better to per
nit the cars to remain where they are
until they are needed.
II ~, therefore, purposed TO suspend
the operation of the per diem rules, be-
ginning March / and continuing unit

situation has never had a parallel
