The Edison Concrete HOuss

American Industries for July.
 Tsw inventions could have sucn widespread effect at once upon oomSs Ss tic architecture, the building .is t and the housing conditions ol a,1, ing neople as the devising or new nuick and inexpensive method or con strueting dwellings, suitable Tor the housing of those who cannot pay nish
 This. however. is just what MT. Ed ison proposes in his plan TOT eWstap W lishjng the new industry or mahu- featuring" inexpensive houses out oa concrete, poured in one piece py the usa of enormous molds. The idea II carried to commercial success, is cer- tain to prove the most revolutionary innovation in building construction since the introduction of the steer frame office building. It will De step forward in the utilization Of the meth- ods of cement construction Whlcn eosS ,. far bevond anything yet attempted The use of concrete in house puiid- ing ia already established successiully in thfs country and abroad, but nothing like the proposed plan Of pouring dwelling in molds, as one would pour a flooring or pier mas been even suggested before.
 Nevertheless, MT. Edison IS conn dent and enthusiastic over the success
 
 he believes will in effect. reduce to minimum the two prime. elements In building construction. those of time and cost.
 The novel feature of the project de- veloped by MT. Edison consists in the use of molds as a means of holding the concrete structure in form dur ing the drying process. The molds are to be composed of cast-iron plates. The details of their dimensions are un- determined, but 1t is expected that the plates will vary in thickness from three -fourths of an Inch to seven eighths inch. It is the inventors ex- pectation that 1t will be found possi- bIe to construct two houses per month with one set of molds and to secure variety of design it is proposed to have six sets of the forms made, at an estimated aggregate cost of about s1O5.O0o.
 The size of the building which Mir. Edison proposes to erect on these terms Is twenty-one feet by forty nine. with a height of thirty-five feet, not including the cellar. The walls are to be twelve inches thick, decreas- ing to eight inches on the second story The roof will be six inches in thick ness and the floors and partitions uni fornly four inches through

GALVESTON COLONIZATION.
Israel ZnngweII Addresses a Mass Meet.
 sma OF


 London, Aug 2.-Addressing a mass meeting of Jews in London tonight in celebration of the third anniversary of the Jewish territorial organization, Israel zangwill referred at length to the Galveston scheme of colonization which. he said. still remained the only principal idea correctly applied to the Jewish problem
 Even during. the worst of the fnan- cial crisis in the United States. the speaker said the stream of Jewish im- migration to Galveston never dried up and as soon as the Presidential cleo tion was over. the immigration tide would be in full swing. The only flaw in the situation for the Jews in the United States was the poverty and congestion in the Southern towns He said a too great influx might cause those ports to be closed against them. and hence the value of the advise that Galveston and the West were far bet ter for the emigrants than New York and the East.
 It was the intention of the fnterna- tional Jewish organization he said in conclusion. soon to dispatch an expe- dition to some country suitable for set clement by Jews but he declared the time as yet was not ripe for the announcement of the details.

GUARD MEXICAN FRONTIER.
Abandoned Forts on Texas Border to
 Be RegarrisOned.

Washington. Herald. .s,.
 Mexico and the United States will take active steps to prevent revolu- tionists from using the United States as a base of operations for making raids across the Texas border into Northern Mexico
 Senor Don Enrique c. Creel, Mexican Ambassador to the United States, had a conference yesterday with Acting Secretary Bacon at the State Depart ment in regard to the punishment of the revolutionists who took part in the recent. raids across the Mexican bor- der and to discuss measures for pre- venting similar raids in the future,
 The Mexican government. 1t is said. will increase the number of forts along the Rio Grande from seven to fifteen posts. each of which will be manned by a strong military force. While the de- tails of the plans of the United States government have not been worked out, 1t Is probable that several army posts along the Mexican border, which have been ~ln charge of caretakers for the last few years, will again be garrison ed by United States troops.s
 The War Department has seven forts along the border Of these, four Fort Huachuca, Ariz. Fort Bliss, Tex Fort Clark, near Bracketville, Tex, and Fort Mcintosh, near Laredo, are garri- soned. while three others-Fort Dun- can. Fort Ringgold and Fort Brown have for several years been without garrisons.
 The raiders who escaped into the Urited States after their rectnt ma rauding expeditions into Northern Mexicao, 1t is said at the State De- pertinent. will be arrested and pun ished, In some cases they will be tried in the United States for violations of the neutrality. laws of the country To prevent similar raids in the future the State Department has decided upon drastic steps to suppress the activities of Mexican revolutionists nthis coun- try. They will be either extradited to Mexico for trial for offenses covered by the extradition treaty. or will be deported to Mexico under the inmi- grafton laws. If neither of these methods can be applied. the department will endeavor to have them prosecuted in this country on charges of viola tions of the neutrality laws of the United States.

New York. Aug l.-The Financier will say;
 The official statement of the New York Associated Banks for the last week showed an actual decrease in cash. instead of comparatively small gain was expected from tho preiiminry estimates; this loss was doubtless due chiefly to tho operations of the sub-tfeasury with the banks as the result. largely of the payment through these institutions to the government of about $6.000, 900 on account of the Central Pacif- ic Subsidy indebtedness. which was finally cancelled last week and also of transfers of 3s.000.Ooo gold to Canada. It may be noted however. that the average statement indicated a gain of about s4.O0o,o0O cash and there was an increase in reserve shown by such statement of $2.56T.325 whereas the report of actual conditions showed loss of S1,l44 25O to S5T.263,476 and as com puted upon the basis of deposits less thoso
