Old Lifting Machine That Long Ago
Proved a Health Preserver.

The secret of perpetual youth, which
has permitted Uncle Joe" Cannon to
be as young as he is at 72, has Just
been rediscovered here by former
senator from New Hampshire says
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald. Henry W. Blair, who
is no youngster himself. having been
born in 1894 and the present speaker
were fellow members of the house 30
years ago. Both at that time were in
poor health. They suffered from in
digestion and were SO frail and puny-
looking that each anticipated the ne.
cessity OF purchasing a bouquet to
place with reverent hands upon the
grave of the other. They lived in the
same boarding house in those days
and. to prolong their lives, entered
into partnership for the purchase of
lifting machine. which they erected In
a hallway outside of their rooms and
upon which they practiced diligently
night and morning with view to the
improvement OF their physical beings.

VAST SUMS TO Be
SPENT IN BUILDING
Estimated That From $780,
OCO to 100000 Will
Be Expended.
CONSTRUCTION PLANNED.
AMONG THOSE STRUCTURES TO
BE ERECTED WILL BE NEW
THEATRE, COLONIAL BLOCK
AND TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

Local stone masons. brick masons.
carpenters and other artisans employed
in construction work, will have a good
season this spring. summer and fall.
There are several big structures
which will go up this year and there
appears to be plenty of minor con
StruCtion work planned for or COntem-
plated.
Four buildings will be constructed
this year. They are the Colonial
block, Seventh and Main streets: the
Y. NJ. c. A. building. North Eighth and
A streets: the Central Union Telephone
exchange building, North Tenth street
and the Murray vaudeville theatre
Main and Tenth streets.
There will be large number of
workmen employed on these buildings
and there will also be d heavy demand
for workmen on the numerous resi-
dences which are planned for. 1t is
thought that this season there will be
several homes constructed on the
Beallview and Mccain Realty company
additions.
A moderate sized building boom in
West Richmond and Fairview is alsC
predicted. 1t is also quite probable
that there will be several homes in the
east end of the city put up this year

HoosIer Drill Greatly En-
Iarged by Additional
Machinery.
THE CAPACITY INCREASED.
WHEN EVERYTHING is PUT IN
RUNNING ORDER. LOCAL CON-
Germ WILL BE IN POSITION TO
EMPLOY 500 MEN AND BOYS.

Today there was received at the
Hoosier Drill branch Of the American
Seeding Machine company sixteen
car loads of material from the Louis
Vile branch of this company, which
has been combined with the local
branch. For the past week many
car loads of material have arrived
here from Louisville and by the mid
die of next month it is expected that
the principal officers of the old Louis
willie concern will arrive here.
None of the employees of the Louis
willie branch will come to Richmond
but the combination of the two branch
factories will be of benefit to local
mechanics. It is expected that the
normal working force at the Hoosier
Drill will be five hundred men and
boys. by the middle of next month
Manager Carr of the Hoosier Drill
stated today that by the combination
of the two factories il was thought
that the capacity of the Hoosier Drill
would be increa ased by one-third
Business is now good at this concern
and the prospects are that it Will! con
| tinue good.
During the month of March the con
Germ had an unusually busy time and
the average number of men on the
pay roll at that time was four hundred
and forty. With the enlargement ot
the factory it is possible to employ
between five hundred and six hundred
men. Formerly the working capacity
was about three hundred.
Since the closing down of the Louis
vile branch. it is stated that a goOC
part of the southern business of the
big corporation will be TRANSACTED
/ from the local branch Since the
HoOsier Drill went into the American
Seeding Machine merger, it has trans
! acted most Of the western business o
the corporation. 1t will continue tt
do so.

Washington, d. c., April 2S.- The
President startled Congress yesterday
afternoon with another special mes
sage, in which he urged the enact
ment of legislation which he had rec
commended in his annual message last
December and in the two special mes
sages which he transmitted on Jan
uary 81 and March 25 respectively,
but which the leaders of Congress had
resolved should not go through at this
session. Mr.. Roosevelt laid particular
stress upon the deSirablity of restrict
ing the injunctive power of Courts in
Tabor disputes and rcCOnstructing the
Sherman antitrust law so as to put
into operation his scheme of Federal
licenses for interstate corporations.
He expressed qualification over the
passage of the employers liability
law, although he thinks it imperfect,
enactment of certain specific meas
ures which the leaders of the House
and Senate. through Representative
Watson of Indiana, assured him a
week or two ago they would try to put
through before adjournment
Only a few of the lawmakers at the
capitol had an intimation that the
special message was coming. The
Zant OF the fact. inasmuCh as copies OF
it had been distributed for publica-
ton this morning, but of course they
We're pledged TO secrecy about it. Con
Sequently the average member OF
Congress, Senator as well as Repre-
sentative. heard with amazement the
announcement late Monday afternoon
that a communication from the White
House had arrived. The Senate was
engaged in the closing debate on the
battle ship question when one of the
secretaries from the executive offices
arrived with it.
Reading Postponed.
It was nearly o'clock when this
matter was disposed of. and at the
suggestion of Senator Aldrich. the Re
publican leader, its reading was post
poned. Over in the House a tangle
over the absence of a quorum oc
Cured. and therefore the message
was not read there.
The exact reasons impelling tht
President to send his message les:
than three weeks from the date agreed
upon for adjournment are not eX
planned in the document, and there i:
considerable speculation among the
lawmakers as TO Just why he did it
Some have formed the impression
ahat he wrote it on the impulse Of tht
moment, and this seeks to be borne
out by the fact that all of his Cabine
officers did not know it had been pre-
pared. The tone of the message like
wise would indicate that there il
some ground for this theory, for it il
much less dispassionate than the
message Of March %, which. it vii
be recalled, was temperate and mod
crate document, although dealing Will
practically the same subjects.
The comments upon some OF hi
observations are rather critical.
