Colorado Syringe Building.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Architect
Taylor has compiled the alternative
bids submitted Monday for the con-
struction of the Colorado Springs pub
lie building and finds that J. H. Weisse
South Omaha, was the lowest bidder
on every form of bids submitted
IL was expected that the bids would
be low enough to permit the use of
granite in the construction of the build
ing and keep within the amount avail
able in tho appropriation for the build
ing. but 1t was found that all bids In
volving the use of granite we're so high
that the use of this material is out Of
the question. The lowest bid for sand
stone construction, with various modi-
fications from the original plans, was
S17S,329, made by Weisse, and this
probably will be accepted.

torium for the treatment OF durable
cases of tuberculosis among the work
ing classes.
3. A prize of 81 900 is offered for
the best exhibit of a furnished house.
for family or group of families OF
wage-earners designed in the interest
of the crusade against tuberculosis In
addition tC the prize of 81 1000, two gold
medals and three silver medals will be
awarded. The prize and medals will
be accompanied by diplomas or certifi-
Gates of award. This prize is designed

pheric Air to tuberculosis"
The detailed definition of this prize

secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, Charles D. Walcott
gold medal and two silver medals
are offered for the best exhibits sent
In by any states of the United States,
illustrating effective organization for
the restriction of tuberculosis.
In the list of prizes. attention is
about equally divided between meas
ures for the care or relief of sufferers
from the white plague" and those
concerned primarily with the preven-
ton of the disease. 1t has taken a
long time for civilized people to find
out that the principal ground on which
the battle against tuberculosis is
fought is in the homes. 1t has been
much easier to accept scientific discov-
cries than to face the every day fact
that dirt, dampness, darkness, vice and
privation are the strongest allies that
tuberculosis has. The records of the
visiting nurses. and the maps of lung
blocks" give all the positive evidence
needed on this score.

snowslide Near LeadvilIe.

Leadville, Colo.-A disastrous snow
slide occurred on Long and Derry hill.
near here, Sunday night, when about
500 tons of snow and rock swept down
the mountain side. The slide carried
away part of the ore bins and shaft
house of the Aurora Mining Company,
in lowe gulch, and came within few
feet of cabin in which half dozen
miners were sleeping. The men were
awakened by the roar and rushed from
their beds. They knew from the sound
that slide was on its way down the
hill and started for safety. When the
slide had passed they saw that their
home had not been touched.

Frank Lyon Of Washington will at

finished business now before the COM
mission and such new complaints as

important subject considered, unless
it is the charge maze by Western live

BURNED CHILDREN BURIED.
Last Sad Rites for Victims Of Collin
wood School Fire.

WOOD Scnooi ftre-
Cleveland. O.-Funeral professions
on Friday began to wend their way to-
ward the cemeteries. bearing the bat
tered and charred bodies Of some OF
the 167 children who perished in We'd
nesday mornings fire in the Lakeview
school, Collinwood.
From 9 o'clock In the morning until
dusk there was no cessation In the flu
neral corteges. Those who had no
dead to mourn as personal loss stood
In the streets with barred heads as the
professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was that
of the three children of Janitor Hirter,
held jointly with the services for three
other little ones. Mutterings against
the ianitor could be heard about the
village as grief-crazed parents sought
an object upon which to wreak ven
geance, forgetting. as they did, that
Hirter himself was walking with
bowed head and broken heart behind
the biers of three OF his beloved.
A detail of police was placed about
the Hirter home when the hour for the
funeral came. Fully 500 persons had
gathered. but when the collins were
carried out the doorway the crowd
spread and opened the way for them
without protest or expression of hos
tility.
Altogether there were fifty burials
Friday and Saturday the gruesome task
was repeated. Sunday witnessed the
last of the Individual burials. and on
Monday the bodies of all those who are
unidentified were laid at rest with one
| funeral.
Te5t.mony, describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
given at the continued session of the
coroner'5 inquest. Stories of herosm
on the part of the women teachers
were recited.
| L. p. Whitney, superintendent of the
Collinwood schools, stated his belief
that no fire department could have
done any effective work after the fire
had started.
Two of the teachers told of their un-
availing attempts to open one of the
doorn in the rear. which they said was
| locked.
The inquest also developed the fact
that after the first crush at the door

miners Accept ronopah scale.

Goldfield, Nev.-Local No. 220, West
ern Federation of Miners, Thursday by
referendum vote decided by vote
of 455 to 256 TO accept the Tonopah
scale of wages and declare the strllS,'
off as to those properties which Will
pay the Tonopah scale.
Some days ago representatives OF
thirteen different leases agreed to pay
the Tonopab scale, which Is so cents
day less than the former Goldfield
scale, but so cents more than the scale
recently adopted by the Mine Opera
tors Association.
The Mine Owners Association will
not grant the advance. The associa
tion companies include all the big
mines OF the camp and against these
latter the strike is still in effect.
The miners Thursday elected an
ultraconseryative president by vote
of four to one against the radicals.
The vote does not call off the gem
eral strike, as has been reported 1t
affects only about seventeen leases and
smaller mines in the camp. the own
ers of which have agreed to pay $3.50
a day, or the same scale that is in eff
feet at Tcnopah.
Within two or three days perhaps
100 federation men will return to work
under the new rules. The Consoli-
dated Mines Company Is still under
the ban and several others as well who
stick for $500 a day.
1t is said that the camp will continue
to be open, without formal recognition
of the federation by any of the opera
tors. The seventeen leasers and 9th
ers have become dissatisfied with some
of the rules of the operators associa-
tion and have decided to get their men
back at work. although still refusing
to pay the SIS scale.
The vote Thursday may be regard
ed as significant in that 1t opens the
way for fuller resumption of work. The
new head of the union is Ed. Stone,
formerly of Colorado.

The main question to come before
the convention will be that of whether

certain that they will prevail.
There was some talk among the
