VILE.

Special to The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Juse 5.-The
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
company was today made defendants
in suits for libel filed respectively by
John T. Lands, and the Lands Bank
ing company. The suits were filed in
the Federal Court and are for one hun
dred thousand dollars each. The
suits are based on a letter written by
President Caldwell of the Cumberland
Telephone company to Bowen & Co.,
of Boston brokers, who had in charge
a large amount of telephone company
stock held by the Lands Banking
company. Mr.. Caldwell in this letter
is said to have accused the plaintiffs
of dishonest conduct.
Another suit was brought by Jesse
M. Littleton, receiver of the Lands
Banking company, to recover 100000
from the Telephone company. The suit
alleges difference in the value of 1885,
500 worth of Telephone company
stock today and February LIST, 1909,
on which date the Lands Banking
company subscribed for that amount
of stock. 1t was this stock that the
receiver yesterday demanded from the
company and rendered cash
in payment.

Il was a sight that always touches

Despite the threatening weather
earlier in the day, the attendance was
large. and the scene spread before all
was one not easily forgotten. The
sun. peeping through rift in the
clouds, had turned the raindrops on
the green sward and shrubbery into

Miss Annie Walker, manager OF the
coal firm of John A. Walker & Co.,
has erected a solid wall of Acton
Block coal at one side of her office.
This is rather unique way Of adj
vertising the durability of the coal
from stacking. 1t is estimated that
the coal will stand ten years Of ex-

are worked out the same as rock is
worked and makes a splendid wall.

he did catch it, he was too weak to tie
it about his own or his wife's waist.
The two were twenty feet away from

.N]W BUILDING FOR
 THE NATIONAL BANK
A $6o,000 Building to Be Erected at
 Center and Washington Streets.

Within sixty days the work of de- molition of the National Bank of Ari- -zona building will begin. On the same site, the corner of Washington and Center streets. will be erected a mod ern bank building, probably two stories high but possibly four. The cost will be at least s60,000.
 When the work of raging the old building begins the bank will move temporarily into the commercial ho- tel and retain these quarters till late in the fall or perhaps the first of Jan uary when the new building will have been completed.
 At present the board of directors are uncertain whether to accept designs for a two or four story building. The architects who were asked to submit designs, have in each case two sets of plans. The original plan was for a four story building, and basement, the three upper floors to be made into first class offices. If this scheme were car ried out it would be the finest office
 building in the city and equal in ele- gance and finish. the office structures Of the larger cities. The uncertainty. however. of obtaining suitable tenants for so many offices will probably re- strict the building to two stories. the upper one alone being used for offices. It was rumored at one time that the headquarters of the Randolph lines would be made in Phoenix if suitable quarters could be engaged; and if MT.

INGLEsIDE ID BE
 A HANDSOME VILLAGE

Ground was broken during the week for a hotel, surrounded by 15 cottages, to be erected at mgleside. The scheme for this hotel, which will be known as the Ranch House" and the little vil- lage in the shadow of Comeback. was conceived many years ago by W. J. Murphy, proprietor of the Ingleside orange groves. but 1t was not till with in the past few months that conditions shaped themselves so that the plan could be carried to completion.
 The plans for the grounds, ranct house and cottages arrived in the city last week from Chicago. They were designed by Dwight Heald Perkins, one of the best known architects of that city. MT. Perkins was here some Wears ago and at that time inspected the site of the future village. Rough plans have been made at different times and alterations made till the present ones are as nearly in accord with MT. Murphy's ideas as could well be made.
 They call for the erection of ranch house which will be 1SS feet long by 32 feet wide or just ten feet over four

times as long as it Is wide. This house Will front the west and have the su-
 perb view of Camelback ever before it.
 In front of the house will be an arti- 1 ficial lake and from this lake drive way will lead to the Mcdowell road. | The ranch house will set back quite a
 distance from the road but five of the cottages will flank the road. Back of
 these five cottages will be two rows
 of five cottages each. There will be seven four room. four five, and four | three room, cottages.
 On the grounds will be a golf course which is now being laid out under the direction of pr. H. H. Stone. There will also be many tennis courts. A | special feature will be the landscape gardening The entire place will be
 made just as pretty and attractively
 as money and climate can make 1t The ranch house will be two stories | high with two acute gables on either side somewhat after the Tudor style of architecture. It will be built of
 plastered brick with shingled roofs. The long sloping roofs will be broken
 with numerous windows. The second
 floor of the ranch house will contain
 six chambers and two dormitories. On
 the first floor will be the main sitting
 room and the dining room, with baths,
 chambers, and servants quarters.
 Thers are four porches on the ranch
 house, one across the front and two smaller ones at the sides and one in the rear.
 The design of the four room cot tages is in the shape of a heavy cross.
 In front is a porch and then cannes the living room. The wings of the cross are formed by the bed room and dining room and in the rear is a bath adjoining the bedroom and the ktch- en. The five room cottages are in the shape of thick T. with two bed rooms in front and the living room and porch running across the middle A bedroom. bath, kitchen and dining room run across the rear. The three room cottages consist of living room in front with a bedroom and kitchen across the rear.
 The plans include the construction of portable bridge across the Ari- zona canal. All of the rods, plates. timbers. planking and truss cords are detachable and easily removed. A heating plant is being designed for the ranch house by D. w Willard.
 It would be difficult, indeed, to con- ceive of more beautiful spot in the territory for the building of just such a village as MT. Murphy has planned. Situated, as it will be, in an oasis in the desert, surrounded with a grove of orange trees. and at the foot of one of the most beautiful of the lesser mountains in the country. Ingleside should be a joy to the winter resident. | With the completion of a trolley line from Scottsdaie to Phoenix. plans for which are now being made. adequate l transportation facilities will be given l to 1ngleside. A good many of the fu- I ture patrons of Ingleside will undoub- tedly be Chicago people who have shown considerable interest in the | project.

Randolph had agreed to lease part of the building the four story scheme would have been carried out Latest advices however are to the effect that the Randolph offices will remain where they are.
 Some of the tenants who are now in the building will retain their offices in the new structure, such as Armstrong and Lewis and other legal firms. El- Vey and Hulett. who have occupied the space next to the bank, have leased the Frank T. Alkire store and will move in when the workmen appear to tear down the bank building.
 The new building will be 50 by 1874 feet, and of this space 50 by 70 feet will be used for banking purposes. The remainder of the ground floor will be leased to a permanent tenant. The bank now occupies 25 by 70 feet of space so that the new quarters will be just twice as large. The latest and most serviceable banking equipment will be put in. The vaults and fix lures will be of the best material. A new departure for this bank will be the installation of 250 safety deposit boxes.
 No action has yet been taken re- garding the acceptance of the archi- tect's plans. There are three or more architects at work on the designs and one set of drawings has been turn d in. Among the local architects who are at work on the designs are Thorn ton Fitzhugh and L. G. Knipe. It is
 
 submit designs. One set calls for a reinforced concrete building while an other set calls for steel structure.

Very few building permits were taken out during the month of Jan uary. It is perhaps the duIlest sea son of the year as far as building operations are concerned. The busy season for building is from March to December. The reason for this is ap parent, when 1t is considered that A building started in January would be Finished sometime during the sum mer and would naturally be without a tenant till fall.
