Here In Omaha the examples Of concrete

house. the Emmanuel Deaconness hospital,
the Omaha Mitten company's factory, the
library for Bishop scanned and other
smaller work.
As for the strength of such construction
kindly note the following extract from a
letter which the writer received from
Nichols, Dean & Gregg OF st. Paul, MINI. [:
We have not had the slightest sign Of
failure. although the loads carried in sew
eral places are way over the maximum for
which the building was designed. The safe
load which we carry over the basement Is
1900 pounds per square foot and on our
second floor 500 pounds to the square foot,
graduated from this weight to 200 pounds
on the fifth floor.
Isn't IL then Just a bit ridiculous to speak
of a type OF construction which is carrying
such loads every day in the year as being
too much Of an experiment in q building
where the load can't possibly be over
seventy-flve pounds to the square foot?
As for the fireproof quality Of concrete,
we beg to call to your attention the recent
fire which occurred in the new concrete
building of the Dayton Motor Car company.
This fire started on the fourth floor and
was communicated to the brick building,
the latter being practically destroyed. In
regard to the concrete building Mr.. Stod-
dard, the general manager, wrote as fol-
lows: THE damage to the concrete build
Ing amounts to little or nothing"
The above are facts, not fancies, and in
view of these facts the Board of Education
could hardly be called e-xperimenters or
pioneers. Concrete is not only the best or
fireproof materials, but is at least 20 per
cent cheaper than any other fireproof con-
structions. Yours very truly,

a previous meeting and referred to the
unions to vote on separately. The votes
OF the various unions were brought to last
nights meeting and tabulated, showing
that the opponents were in the majority.
The solid vote OF the BARRIERS, nearly 200
strong, defeated the proposition.
The retail clerks, who have recently
organized a union, asked for affiliation
with the central body and a committee
was appointed to act with the clerks in an
effort to get more of the local retail estab-
lishments to close at 8 o'clock in the after
noon.
The commission plan of government was
discussed briefly, but no further action
was taken.

Concrete Construction.

OMAHA, July Ito the Editorof The
Bee: In regard to the recent discussion
concerning the use OF concrete in the new
school building we beg to call" to your
attention and to the attention of the public
the following facts:
The recent buildings erected at Annapolis
and west Point by the United States gov
eminent were built entirely Of reinforced
concrete. These buildings were designed
by such architects as McKim-Mead &
White, Ernest Flagg and Cram. Goodhue
& Ferguson and represented an expense Of
over S15. 100000.
We ask you, from a common sense point
Of view, would the United States govern
ment indulge in such expensive expert
ments? Would such architects use material
that was only in the experimental state
In such expensive buildlngs2
To bring the matter nearer home we need
only call your attention to the fact that
the Kearney Military academy at Kearney.

floors in the new mechanical engineering
building at Lincoln are concrete. that the

been in circulation that an amicable

aker's congratulatory message and the
secretary's response thereto.
When Secretary Taft's attention was
directed to the report from Washing
ton that he would favor Foraker's re-
election to the senate he remarked
that he would prefer to say nothing
at this time concerning 1t.
Secretary Taft personally has had
no more than a formal communica-
ton with Senator Foraker since the
Chicago convention, but it is known
that friends of both are making eff
forts to bring them into harmonious
relations and it is believed their eff
forts may meet with success.
There are abundant indications that
the Ohio Republicans will adjust their
differences and support earnestly the
ticket nominated at Chicago. This Is
known to be the expectation not only
of Secretary Taft, but also Of Senator
Foraker.

A sort of rummage sale was held at
the new Elk building last night during
which the odds and ends which were
not disposed of during the week were
auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Everything unsold was disposed of in
this way and the proceeds added to
those of the week. netting something
over $500, which will be applied on the
furnishings for the new home.
The bazaar was success from every
standpoint though the proceeds were
not as great as many of the ladies had
anticipated. Much hard work was done
by the wives of Elks and their friends
during the week and the sum realized
will be used in furnishing the apart
ments devoted to the maids and
matrons who will share in the pleas
ures of the new home with their hus-
bands, fathers and friends.

Gov. johnson Refuses to Be Nominee
for Vice President.

Chicago, June 23.-Governor John
A. Johnson of Minnesota will not al
low his name to be used as the vice
presidential candidate of the Demo-
cratic party. This announcement is
made authoritatively at the johnson
headquarters in the Grand Pacific
hotel. ~
Frederick B. Lynch, who has had
charge of the governors campaign
for the presidential nomination from
the outset, said that not only would
the governor not be a candidate for
nomination for the second place on
the ticket, but that IL the convention
persisted in nominating him, as has
been threatened. he would decline to
make the race, and that 1t would then
devolve on the Democratic national
committee to fill tho vacancy.
Republican leaders remarked that
Mr.. Johnson's determination not to
serve as running mate for Mr..
Bryan, even IL drafted by his party,
indicated the kind of harmony exist
ing in the Democratic ranks.
The Johnson managers continue to
boom their candidate for the head Of
the ticket, asserting that they still
hoped enough delegates instructed for
Bryan would break their instructions
and go to johnson to nominate the
Minnesotan.
