SMALL HOPE
Of SALVATION
The Fruit Steamer Anselrn,
Wrecked on a Coral Form
alton, Is About Certain to
Be a Total LoSs-ChanceS
of Her Being Saved are
Very Slim.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, Feb. Further adj
vices received in this city early to-
DAY regarding the wreck of the Unit
ed Fruit Company's mail steamer
Anselm, state that the vessel is on
Sergeant's key, a coral formation. 80
miles southeast of Belize, British
Honduras. All of the passengers and
crew are safe, but the cargo will prob
ably be almost a total loss and the
chances for saving the steamer ap-
pear small.
The Anselm was valued at 100000,
and was fully insured. The cargo,
which was a general one, represents
a loss OF about $4,000, partly cover
ed by insurance.
Later dispatches also state that as
sistance was rendered by the United
States gun boat Maritta which went
to the assistance of the Anselm as
soon as the news of the wreck reach
ed Puerto CoFtez.
The Anselm was one of the oldest
vessels in the United Fruit Com
pany's services. She was built New
Castle, England, in 1882.

William Harding, connected with a
local photograph gallery, who was ar
rested by the police Thursday after
noon upon the charge OF being dan
gerous and suspicious character, was
given one week in which to leave the
city, when his case was called in the
recorders court yesterday morning.
What caused he arrest OF Harding
was a telegram from Franklin, La,
his former home, which alleged that
Harding was not a White man. and
that he had wife and family there.
IEasmuch as he had been assOciating
with white people here, his arrest fol
lowed.
Harding told his attorneys yesterday
that he was not wha- was charged
against him; that his mother was OF
Spanish descent and his father an
American.
D. Mcmahon, who had been in part
nership with Harding in the photo
graph business, made a statement last
night, in with he said tina, inasmuch
as Harding would not go before the
court and deny the accusation, he had
Immediately dissolved partnership
with him.
he said he met Harding nearly two
years ago in New Orleans, and not I'M
Ill his arrest did he ever doubt tina.
Harding was not what he represented
himself to be.

Bill laughed, and everybody laughed.
Mayor Russe the loudest of L.
You're a lemon" he repeated when
he could get his voice. Then the sa-
loon troubadours ratified their glasses
on the table again, and Johnnie Muir

Mayor had another laugh to think how
astonished the police would be II they
should raid he place.
A small weasel of a man whose face
showed that appearance OF moral art
which goes with cheap politics, had
been working toward the mayor al
this time And after Bill had gone
back to the table for the fourth round
OF drinks, the weasel caught the may
or's ear. They edged away from the
bar; the weasel upturned his face and
whispered something. The mayor an
swered him aloud.
mol l tell you no! I've got two
hundred applications for that job"
The weasel whispered again.
Makes no difference. l don't ap-
point no stiffs," said the First Citizen.
And, by a motion Of his left hand, he
caused Jimmy to set up more drinks.
AS before, the mayor took a small
beer. The troubadours by the stove
drOned out the last slaves Or MY

silence that followed Johnnie Murphy

threw an arm over his shoulder

knees sagged.

road line, about 1-3 cords being re-
quired for 1000 feet of bars. After
saving, the bars are piled criss-crOss,
in order to facilitate thorough season
ing and protected from the weather,
are allowed to sea son until June. The
spool bar mills in Maine turn out
about fifteen million feet of bars dur
ing he year and approximately the
same amount of material is manufac-
tured into spools in the state.
The machines for making spools are
complicated, and require skilled men
for their operation. The spools drop
from the lathe at the rate of one per
second, and must be perfectly uni
form and true. The finished spools
are marke ed in this country largely
in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey, while the spool
bars are largely exported to Green
ok and Glasgow Scotland, and to
Hull and Fleetwood, England. Ship
ments to these points are made most

million feet having been sent from,

Cement and steel and brick and
stone are not yet used in sufficient
quantities to encourage lumber users
to predict the time when he forests
will not be called upon to furnish the
principal materials used in building
operations. Notwithstanding the re-
markabie increase IN the use OF ce-
ment and other fireproof materials,
the last Pepor s of the building oper-
atoms IN forty-nine of the leading
cities Of the United States for the
year, collected by the geological sur
vey, show that 50 per cent We're of
wooden construction.
Even if the remaining II per cen.
of the bui dings were built of brick,
stone and concrete, vast quantities of
wood are consumed both in the con-
structiCn and in the finish, though in
the latter form, metal is taking he
place Of wood to a very large extent.
The amount of lumber given above
does not take into consideration this
item at all
While this percentage is representa-
! tive of the building industry in the
United States, dealers point out that
it does not include the large quantities
of lumber used for the constructor Of
dwellings, stores and other buildings
| in the thousands OF small CT les and
towns scattered over the country and
not inc uded in the forty-nine cities
On which a reckoning was made. In
towns and small cities wood is usual
| ly the predcmiDating building material
and it is safe TO say +ha if the statis-
| tics had included figures Fer all
places of whatever size, the percent
age OF wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig
ureS, as a rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and the suburbs of
| these cities have each very large
amour to be added. The cost, also
| is relatively higher Ill these cities than
in towns nearer the base of the sup
| ply.
| In wooden buildings, New York city
/ is at the bottom of the list, though il
! leads with SIS o75 as the average
cost of buildings. Excep at San Fran
cisco, where abnormal conditions have
prevailed since the fire, Boston sSows
the greatest increase of any OF the
cities in the total cost of building
operations. The average cost of build
ipgs is constantly increasing, having
risen over $500 during the last three
years. The average value of q build
| ing is given in the report as S2,035.
Lumber is by far the greatest drain
