anchored in the Neva river. resulting
in the killing of one man and the in
jury of IA others.
The explosion. which occurred dur
ing the trial of benzine motor pre-
paratory to acceptance by the admi-
rally, is ascribed to the carelessness
of the machinists who ignited the ben
zine supply.
The explosion injured IL Russian
laborers, Engineer Joseph Meads of
Baltimore and a Russian naval fireman
One of the laborers died in a hospital
from his injuries. The others are not
thought to be seriously hurt
A report which gained wide circu-
lation was to the effect that number
of workmen were imprisoned in the
submarine and were perishing by as
phyxiation. This, with other con-
ficting reports, was denied this even
ing by Simeon Lake of Bridgeport,

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


CHICAGO, Aug. las the result of
bitter enmity between the Metropolitan
and Manhattan opera companies Chi
cago is to get a 100000 theater to
be devoted exclusively to the produc-
ton Of grand opera. This was an
nounced officially today by Oscar Ham
merstein. head OF the Manhattan opera
company. who has been quietly but eff
fectively looking over Chicago for the
last week. The new home of music
is destined for one of Two sites. One
is located half mile north of the
quarters of mile south The PROPOSE
ton is to build the opera mouse and
maintain a great musical organization
in Chicago without subscription, con-
tribution or aid of any kind.
Il am willing to erect an opera house

organize and maintain great operate
organization here, worthy of myself
and worthy of the musical intelligence
of the people, without a dollar of sub
scrlption, contribution or aid of any
kind, provided l am assured in advance
that portion of the cost of the land
and the opera house would be covered
by mortgage of moderate size, in the
event that the necessity OF such finan-
cial aid should arise"
According to Chicagoans who have
Tor years attempted to obtain grand
opera organization for Chicago the eff
put forth by Hammerstein can be cas-
| lily accounted for. AS the property is
to cost at least 100000, it is de-
clared that the guaranteed mortgag

tends into the ground to an unknown
depth Experts who have inspected
this wonderful store of building stone
declare that the mountain contains
sufficient granite to supply the whole
United States with building stone for
200 years.
This mountain of granite came into
commercial prominence at the time
plans were adopted for the construc
ton of the S3,0OO,0 900 state capitol at
Austin. The building commissioners
were charged under the law to select
Texas stone and were casting about
for the necessary material when the
owners of Granite mountain sought to
have their product selected for the
purpose. A geologist was sent to the
quarries by the commission to inves-
tgate the quality of the granite, and
he made a report that it was unfit for
building purposes. The owners of the
mountain Immediately sent samples of
the granite to experts in various por-
tions of the United States, and the re-
ports of these experts were unani-
mously favorable. The state capitol
building commissioners thereupon Sc
lected this stone for the big building
The owners of the quarries furnished
the granite free of cost to the state,
the contractors for the building pay
ing the expenses of quarrying, cutting
and transportation. In quarrying the
granite for the state capitol building
800 convicts were employed and in
cutting and polishing the stone 200
Scotch granite workers found employ
ment. The contractor was fined &c.,
900 for importing these Scotchmen in
violation of the foreign contract labor
law.
The jetties at Galveston. by which
means that port secured permanent
deep water, were built of granite from
this mountain. Large shipments now
are being made to Arkansas Pass,
where the stone is being used in the
construction of the United States gov
eminent jetties for that future deep
water port The great sea wall at Gal
weston, which has a length of more
than five miles, is built of the same
material.
One popularity of this mountain of
stone which makes it different from
ali other quarries is that the forma-
ton lies in layers. varying in thick
ness from four inches to 20 feet In
quarrying, if large blocks are desired,
they are taken from one of the thick
layers. If smaller pieces are wanted
a quarry of less thickness is opened.
natural seams in the stone the ex-
pense of extracting these blocks ia
less than in any quarry in the world.

BINGHAM is POPULAR FABRIC
Simple Frocks for Sur,mer Wear, Says
-. Fashion, and the Edict Is
Well Liked.

This year the girl of moderate
means has ample opportunity to look
her best at the least possible cost, for
she may indulge in frocks of cheapest
Bingham, made very simply. These
always are the very best selection for
summer wear, and if they are made
up with an eye to utility as well as to
line, she will find that at all times
she is among the best of well-dressed
people. The beauty of the fashion is
that one may wear the plainest sort
of gowns with bias band of the same
around the line of the yoke and a bias
band to form the belt. This makes
all trimming unnecessary, and, as the
yoke itself is made of some tucked
batiste, you will see at a glance that
the dress will be very inexpensive. 1t
is not essential that the dress be
made in one piece-neither the prin-
cess nor the empire style. The shirt
waist suit with the belt of the material
will be very effective for the business
girl, and this is far easier to make
than the more elaborate one-piece
frock. The wise girl will choose sew
eral ginghams of more or less dark
color, and, if possible, each dress will
be made to open down the front, so
that when it is sent to the laundry
it may be easily ironed.
