Detective Grant Roberts of the Los
Angeles police department. He was

the case properly was a civil and not a
criminal matter.

CITY IS SADLY CONTESTED
New Workers Beginning to Figure
on Possible Disaster to Tall
Buildings-Crowded Streets.

New York, Aug. I'm a report to the
building code revision committee. the
executive committee of the committee
on congestion of population in New
York. recommended that within certain
business hours all vehicular traffic be
prohibited on the main passenger
streets south of Chambers street.
The committee also recommended
that an elevator capacity be provided
for each tall building that in a brief
maximum limit of time would Empty
the buildings of all tenants. Upon the
question of limitation of the height of
buildings in the business district, the
executive committee announced that II
had reached no definite conclusion con-
corning the method employed, but it
was agreed that some limitation should
be fixed.
According to statistics submitted with
the report there have been erected in
Manhattan during the last five years,
office buildings accommodating SS.14S
persons, and of this number buildings
accommodating SO, 251 persons were
erected below Chambers street.
Seriousness of the problem of passen-
ger traffic in the streets is indicated by
a statement that $1,000 persons pass a
given point in a busy street in a day.
and that during rush hours as many as
125 persons pass each minute in street
forty feet wide.

IN DIFFERENT MANNER
CORRESPONDENT BETWEEN
CHAIRMAN MACK AND PAS
SENGER ASSOCIATION.

Chicago, Aug. Norman E. Mack,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. was notified tonight that no
reduced railroad rates will be put into
effect for the Bryan notification meet
ing at Lincoln Aug. II. The informa
ton came from f. B. Mcleod, chair
man of the Western Passenger assO-
citation. and was in reply to a letter
sent to that official by Mr.. Mack earlier
in the day, and calling attention TO the
fact that reduced fares had been grant
ed on the occasion of the Taft celebra-
ton in Cincinnati. whereas no conces-
sions had been made for the Democrat
lc gathering. The correspondence was
nterspersed by several telephone con-
versations between MesSrs. Mack and
Mcleod, the latter explaining the ac-
ton of the railroads by referring to the
fact that no reduced rates had been
put into effect for any events in Ne
braska since the passage of the 2-cent
fare law in that state. He also empha-
sized the fact that the reduced rates to
Cincinnati were offered by the Central
pa Ssenger association.
Mack Says Discrimination.
1.-THE action of the railroads is simply
a discrimination against the Democrat
ic party said Mr.. Mack. They state
that there is a 2-cent rate law in Ne
braska which will not permit them to
give a reduced rate to Lincoln. But !
desire to call their attention to the fact
that there is also 2-cent rate law in
Ohio which did not prevent the grant
ing of a reduced rate to the Taft meet
ing in Cincinnati. Besides. as 1 under

DOVER HAS NOT
GIVEN UP PLACE
Secretary of Republican Ma
tionaI Committee May
Resign Later.

Chicago, Aug. THE Daily News to-
day says:
Word has reached Chicago today from
reliable source that Elmer E. Dover,
secretary of the Republican national
committee, has carried out his inten-
ton. privately expressed to friends
some weeks ago, and resigned his posi-
ton as official hub of the Republican
organization.
Fred w. Upham, assistant treasurer
of the Republican national committee,
expressed surprise at the Daily News,
announcement. He said:
II saw Mr.. Dover and Mr.. Hitchcock
in New York a week or so ago. and
there was no hint of any such action
ON Mr.. Dover's part. If there ever was
any real feeling between the chairman
of the committee and it's secretary l
am sure that 1t no longer exists. All
was certainly serene between them
when / was in the east"
New York, Aug. Elmer Dover to-
day declared there was no truth in the
report that he has resigned as secre-
tary of the Republican national COM
mittee. He said he had been in con-
ference with Chairman Hitchcock and
would see him again before he left
town. but Mr.. Dover said it was not
his present intention to resign now as
secretary of the committee. Whether
he intended to resign later, he would
not say.
