Washington. May Amy who whispers
third term or even mentions second elective
term In the presence of Senator Borah of Idaho,
does so at his peril And thereby hangs tale.
Possibly affected by the prominence acquired
by Senator Bourne OF Oregon through his advo-
cacy of the second elective term, or confident
that he could make greater headwsy with a third
term movement than his colleague from the ad-
joining state, Mr.. Borah decided recently 10 hold
a council of war. at which should be laid the
plans for great Roosevelt stampede at the Chi
cago convention. In season and out the ioaho
man talked third term. of his most frequent
victims being Senator Curtis of Kansas, whom
Mr. Borah chose as the proper man TO set the
stampede in motion. From dawn 10 dark Borah
argued with Curtis that II only Kansas would lead
of 10y casting it's vote for Roosevelt 1t would be
all over with the Taft boom at Chicago and just
as insistently Nj Curtis declared that he could
nothing but Taft the political horizon
Finally. after extensive missionary work at both
ends of the Capitol. Senator Borah called his meet
ing. II take place at his apartment He
obtained the OF several additional vacant apart
ments for the overflow. and rented chairs by the
hundred Last Sunday at p m was the time SET
for the secret gathering Promptly at that hour
Senator Curtis appeared. and within five minutes
Representative Longworth, son-in-law OF the Presi-
dent, put in appearance They chatted quietly
with the Idaho Warwick for more than an hour,
but no other statesman appeared. No mention was
made OF a second elective term and only innocent
subjects like the weather. the spring in Washing
ton etc. furnished the topics for their converse
ton When II was almost o'clock the Kansas
Senator and Ohio Representative took their de-
parture leaving Mr. Borah TO pay the rent OF the
specially retained apartments and TO get rid or his
several hundred chairs
Gradually the story leaked out at the Capitol. and
now the mere mention Of second elective term
causes Mr. Borah assume attitude more pug
nacious than that which he presented TO William
Haywood the great Boise trial. while slender
Senators and Representatives do not venture upon
these delicate subjects except pairs or trtos but

second duty is to his country. but Catholic who
is faithful TO his church will be false to his
country

The limitation of height and area of buildings
in New York discussed by architects last
night the home of Ernest F1agg, No. 109 East
10Th street. The discussion followed dinner and
lasted for several hours. The guests of Mr.. Flagg
consisted of all the architects of the Building Code
Revision Commission, all members of the Building
Code Revision Committee of the American lnst-
tue of Architects, the Corresponding Committee
of the Society of Beaux Arts architects and the
committee on architecture OF the Fine Arts Fed

The speakers were Ernest FIagg Charles G.

Tton and c. "A. Stoughton.
Mr.. F7agg gave brief history of the high build
ing period, and said it being attempted to
build two three cities on top of each other
with streets designed for one city. The result
he said. loss Of light and congestion
1T seems to me- he said. that low lmita-
ton of height. that is, of five or six stories,
is out of the question here. because it won't be
agreed to. / know that a higher limitation will
do good. But if the height is sufficiently lin
tied over the greater part of every plot the rest
of the building might be carried up tower fashion
light still be obtained This is the plan
propose 1 cannot think of any other way TO build
high and still have sufficient light.
II would limit the high part Of the building to
one-quarter of the plot. Set it back reasonable
distance from the street facade. so as to secure
light for the street. and require that wood
be used in such buildings. | would also make this
right to go above the general level negotiable be
tween adjoining owners l have written TO over
two hundred OF the architects of New York, and
received practically unanimous approval of this
principle
Charles G. Smith told the party unoffcialy some
of the more important items OF the coming report
on the new building code. He said the city was
in greater danger of a sweeping COnfagration than
any imagined The most serious defect was
in the fire alarm system.
You can imagine what would happen. said MI
Smith. when l tell you that the cable that car
ries the fire alarm system wires is suspended TO
the Third avenue elevated structure If an accl-
dent should that elevated structure and
tear it down there wouldn't be a single working
fire alarm box in the entire city
The committee he said. would undoubtedly rec
ommend radical changes in the districts in which
freproof building IS insisted upon.
