PASADENA, April 23.-Today it
was found that the new double track
crossings of the Pacific Electric at
Raymond and Fair Oaks avenues on
Colorado street will raise the tracks
about two inches at those intersec-
tions,- and for that reason new cul-
verts to take care of storm water Will
probably be laid. On the east side of
Fair Oaks avenue and on the west
side of Raymond avenue the old cul-
verts will be made wider and deeper,
if surveys now being made show
changes to be necessary. The city S
share of the expense will probably be
about $1,000.

Denver's Convention Hail


Following is description of the
building, in which the national demo
cratic convention will meet.
Denver's monster auditorium will
open June 81 to welcome the long list
of conventions to be held here this sum-
mer The structure cost $55O,OOO and
will seat 1880.
The first floor has 5000 regular
seats. The huge stage is near the
center of the building. One half of the
structure can he used as a theater, the
other half being shut off by the flies ard
wings of the stage.
On the occasion of a big convention
the stage scenery and equipment can
be elevated to a storage roof and the
entire building converted into conven-
tion hall, with a balcony circling the
structure and Il large gallery at each
end.
The building is 266x2OO feet in dimen-
sions and is five stories high. There
are twenty-four exits and the building
can be emptied in two minutes.
In preparation for the democratic
will be erected at the west side of the
auditorium, with seats for delegates
and alternates extending along the floor
of the stage proper. On the platform
will be fortyfour seats, reserved for
members of the national committee
and guests. The number of seats on
the rostrum will be 1O1
Directly in front Of the chairman's
platform on the rostrum will be four
seats and tables for the noiseless tele-
graph instruments of the news service.
Additional room for news service and
telegraph companies will be arranged in
the basement.
Desks and seats for the press will be
placed in half circle about the ros-
trum in such Il manner us to give each
writer an unobstructed view of the
speaker, within easy hearing distance.

galleries will be reserved for the
families Of the delegates, alternates,
and convention officers. The seating
capacity of the balcony will be 1925
and of the gallery 1880. The audito-
rum is constructed without pillars or
posts to obstrnct the view, and the
acoustic properties will be SO perfect
that speaker can be heard from any
part of the building.
Two ffteen-foot fans at one end of
the building send air between steam
pipe coils throughout the house. Each
coil contains 1,S00 feet of pipe. Mid
way in the auditorium two fans ten feet
III diameter will send the air through
the rest of the house. An exhaust fan
will draw the foul air from below.
where it lies on the floor, and expel il
from the building.
In summer the heating apparatus is
turned into Il cooling plant by filling
the coils of pipe with cold water instead
of steam.
The auditorium is built of brick, stone,
concrete and steel.

that there is an item of safety in
alighting on the south side of the
track is mistake.
1t sometimes happens that passen-
gers come little late to get ticket
and get on the train. If they could
go from the depot side to the train,
if the train is at the station. they
would have an abundance of time to
purchase their tickets and then take
their places on the train, since pas
sengers are not allowed to enter the
cars until those getting off have all
al:ghted. But if they must get on
from the opposite side from the de-
pot, it makes great inconvenience if
there has been any trouble in getting
their ticket.
In case of storm, passengers can
remain in the warm waiting room un-
til the train has come in and stopped.
and those passenger who get off have
all alighted. and those who arrive can
go at once to comfortable waiting
room and not be required to stand in
cold shed for the train to move out
of the way.
There is only one additional re-
quirement for the railroad to make,
and that is for it to allow no train to
run between a passenger train and
the depot. In matter of expense. it
is only necessary that plank be laid be-
tween the rails as is the custom in all
union depots which would not be as
expensive as building a platform or
the opposite side of the track.
But some one may think this
would not work. It has worked FOL
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern Railroad Co. for years. which
handles more passengers and more
traffic by far than the Northwestern
The Lake Shore always discharge eI
it's passengers to the depot and an.

charged. Once in a great while
u through freight might be re
quired to stop minute or two t
allow a passenger IN the opposlt
track to unload it's passengers. bu
such thing is rare occurre nee
Any one who has ever lived besid
J q railroad where this custom has bee
practiced. cannot help but appreciat
its advantages over the method prac
ticed by the Northwestern Railroa
Co.

1t may be that there is some stat
ute of the state or something that
makes it impossible to adopt this GUS
tom. but if by any means it can be
brought about to let passengers alight
on the depot side, it would be better
than any plan as yet proposed.

PROTECTION FOR
PASSENGERS
PROF. VANNESS URGES THAT TRAINS TAKE
ON PASSENGERS FROM DEPOT SIDE.
A STRONG ARGUMENT MADE
Present System Of The Northwestern An
Outrage on Passengers Using
The Road.
Editor Review:

Editor Review;
notice in the last issue of your
paper that active steps are being Ia
ken to secure the erection of a shed
for the comfort of the passengers at
North Western Depot. l wish an
other arrangement might be brought
about the North Western Railroad.
It is perhaps. hopeless thing to un-
dertake, but if it is in anyway possi-
BILE to persuade the North Western
Railroad Co. to have its passenger
trains always discharge their passen-
gers toward the depot it would be
much better. safer and more conven-
lent.
It is to be presumed that the rea-
son the railroad requires the passen-
gers to get off from west bound trains
on the south side of the track is safe
ty. l think if any one will stop to
study it moment. they will discover
that there is no safety in this at all.
This practice necessitates the passen.
gers crossing the track in front Of
the incoming train in order to be or
the south side of the track when they
wish to get aboard. A year ago,
people thought that persons would be
killed on the Fourth of July because
Of the crowd crossing the track al
the train came in. This last summer
two persons were nearly killed her,
in Denison. Furthermore it is tn,
custom practiced by passengers hav
ing alighted, to walk around the trail
and cross over the track to get t.
Some place of comfort. II trains ar
EallosVed to pass at this time. they ar
in as much danger of being killed q!
they would be in getting off the trai
toward the depot. Any presumption
