CLAIMS She
HAS Confessed ONT
Attorneys for Haines Say.
They Have Mrs. Haines'
Written Confession, But
She Denies Any Wrong
Doing

New York, Aug. ia written and
signed confession, in which Mrs.
Clarinda Haines, wife Of Capt. Peter
C. Haines, U. S. A., admitted her in
fidelity, and stated that William E.
Annis was the man in the case, will
be the sole basis for the defense for
the army officer and his author broth
er, Thornton jenkins Names, for the
murder Of the man named in the con-
fession.
The one plain, simple proposition
of the discovery of a. home wracker
and the punishment of death, will be
the pedestal upon which the army
family will build its fabric Of evidence.
While the defense hangs upon this
bit of paper as the one thing that
stands between the two men and the
electric chair, the woman who signed
it, coming from the bier of the muir
dered man, where she sat weeping
with the widow, repudiated the con-
fession and struck the chief defense
its most telling blow. .@s n. ..sss,..
No repetition of the Evelyn Thaw
sacrifice for the life of her husband
is to come from her. Alternately
grieving with the wife of the dead
man, and defiantly seeking her chill
dren in the home Of the Haines family,
where she IS not received, she present
ed yesterday an interesting figure in
the latest metropolitan tragedy. III
While the officers were putting the
prisoners through the ordeal that is
given all other prisoners, and while
the preliminary examination was be-
ing held over until August "a in order
to give the state time to arrange its,
facts, she boldly sought the house of
the family that had branded her as
unfaithful, demanded the right to see
her children, and when the elder Mrs.
Hams had refused to receive her and
delegated that office to maid, she
conversed with the three young ones
and went her way, proclaiming her
own innocence with it's dread corrol-
larry: Il #
The innocence OF William 3. Annfs.
There is the rub. In that situation
the uniformed figures in the murder
case have a stumbling block that
stands between them and their chief
plea.

THE selected aggregates used composed
all of the concrete. They were not put

were mixed all through the concrete, thus
giving an accidental distribution of white

standpoint; others expected efiorescence
and all kinds of trouble. but after viewing
the house their opinions were changed.

best architects and engineers In New

FIRES AWFUL HAVOC.
Greater Care in Building Regarded
as Remedy.

No nation on earth builds as much as
we do, but neither does any other nation
have to build so much. Our much-vaunted
rapid growth and phenomenal building
booms give a false impression of the real
conditions. Nearly 80 per cent of all our
new buildings go simply toward filling up
gaps made by fire. In the past twenty
five years we have burned up $500. 900, 900
worth of property; we have wiped 1.OCO,-
0cO buildings out of existence in less than
ten years. In Boston s1,5OO,OO0 is a
small yearly loss. In the average Euro
pean city of that size S15O,OO0 would be
more than the usual yearly loss. 1t is a
disease.
Millions are spent yearly in handling
the disease after it breaks out but only
hundreds of dollars in steps to prevent its
outbreak
A really freproof building is not only
possible. but really inexpensive and easy
to accomplish. All the steel work and
structural portions should be protected
from rust with cement and then amply
protected from fire by hollow fireproofing
tile. The stairWays and elevators should
be inclosed and wooden and other COM
bustible finish should be eschewed. and
the windows should have metallic or as
bestos sash and be glazed with wired
glass. Seventy-three per cent of all the
damage done by fire to buildings, other
than that in which 1t originates. is at
tributable to improperly constructed win
dows. More than 4S per cent of the en-
tire fire loss of the country is traceable to
the lack of window protection, and wired
glass is the best means of securing i'm
munlty from external attack

CONCRETE IN BUILDING.
Assertion That It Is Best to Have
1t Looking Natural

Mr.. Albert Moyer has built residence
for himself in South Orange, n. j., which
was designed to be built of concrete, and
because concrete is different from other
building materials the house is different
from other houses. He describes and illus
trates the house in the January number
of Municipal Engineering, anu even goes
into the details of construction, showing
how thoroughly artistic and satisfactory
house can be built of the material
which, while as old as the pyramids, is
only now being furnished with an archi-
lecture of it's own, and so is only now be-
ginning to be able to show what beautiful
structures can be made of concrete.
Mr.. Meyers argument is that:
'If you employ concrete let it look like
concrete, design for concrete, eliminate all
thought of stone. brick. wood or plaster
Let the house stand up and be able to
say to the casual observer: L am solid.
