Architect Hopkinson Recon-
mends Some Changes
and They Will Be
Made.
INSPECTOR Is ADVISED
THAT INACCURACIES ARE IN
THE CONCRETE PLANS AND
PERMIT FOR BUILDING is RE-
FUSED-coNTRAc AND THE
ARCHITECT HAVE BEEN so
ADVISED.

Building Inspector Jas. M. johnson
yesterday received letter from Geo.
NJ. Hopklnson, architect, in New
York, advising him not to permit the
erection of the county Jail building in
accordance with the new set of
plans as submitted for the concrete
work change, and the building inspec-
tor, guided by his own knowledge of
such affairs and also by the fact that
Architect Hopkinson is looked upon
as authority in such matters, the per-
NIT for the erection of the building
was again refused. This makes the
second application for permit for
the one building and both of them
have been turned down. Changes are
ordered in the plans as now under
consideration, and should the revises
be made, further examination of the
plans will be conducted and if found
up to requirements of the citys
building laws, they will pass. If not,
permit will again be refused.
The contracting firm was notified
yesterday directly after the letter had
been received from Mr.. Hopkinson,
which pointed out the faults in the
plans, and by him the copy of the
letter was read. A message was also
telephoned Mr.. Benz, the Mobile ar
chitect, of the decision of Mr.. Hopixin-
son, and that is as far as the mat
ter went. The building inspector did
not care to make any comment at
present, simply relying upon the fact
that he did not believe from the first
that the plans would pass inspection,
and in the opinion rendered by Mr..
Hopkinson he is upheld.
The jail matter is now right where
I1ntI thn he
was let. except, however, the partial
demolishment. of the building now uc-
'cupying the site where it will be
placed.
The letter Of Mr.. Hopkinson, point
ing out the faults, was as follows:
MR.. HoPkiNSON'S LETTER.
Il have examined the plans of the
above building showing the floors,
roof and part of the wall construction
of reinforced concrete, and find few
technical points that should be taken
care of before the plans are accepted
by you for the erection
''The plans are vague as to the 10.
cation of stirrups for shear; contrac-
tor should mark on plan spacing of
stirrups from support and how they
are placed under concentrated loads.
''Footings that are 2'-S" and
~ VIDE un0er the IL walls SnOuld
have transverse rods inserted 2"
from the bottom of same as projection
is too great for the depth shown.
"The beams and their reinforce
ment should be marked on the plans
around sky1ights, circular wall hole,
boiler fiue at boiler room roof level,
and around staircases in passage near
white women's cells.
Location of heavy elevator machin-
cry and sheave beams at roof should
be shown and the point at which con-
centrated loads occur and the amount
of same and how taken care of.

Hankow, April 22-The situation in
Human province is reported as critical.
Women and children are fleeing for
their lives from Changsha, the capital
A number of villages near that city
have been reduced to ashes by native
mobs. The country is placarded with
threats to kill all foreigners.
This disquieting news was brought
by missionary stations. Many OF
them had travelled thirty miles on foot
and reached the Yangtse-Kiang river
in rags Their houses had been
burned and they-los all of their per.
sonal effects. The missionaries stated
that gunboats in the river had their
guns trained upon Changsha and near.
by points and have afforded a refuge
for many foreigners. Three thousand
Chinese imperial soldiers are occupy
ing the strategic points of the capital
and detachments are being hurried to
the outlying districts where rioting is
reported.
MANY ARE KILLED.
Many Chinese have been killed. In
one instance a technical school was
set afire and thirty students were
burned to death.
When vessels approached Changsha

setting them afire, allowed them to
float down stream in an attempt to
fire the on-coming steamers.
The viceroy of Human province and
the governor of Changsha assert that
they have the situation in hand and
that order is practically restored, but
the missionaries say that they fear
further outrages.
The telegraph wires to the west
ward of the disturbed districts have
been cut Many missionaries, Amer
lean, French and Norwegian, remain
at outlying posts.
The British consul at Changsha who
has arrived here said today:
IF one foreigner had been killed a
massacre probably would have follow
ed. The British consulate was burned
because it employed laborers from an
other province in the construction OF
new buildings
The momentary loss to foreign in
terests is believed not to be great. The
Standard Oil Company has lost few
thousand cans of oil.

the degenerate youth Of nineteen
years, who gloated over lewd
pictures and was crazy" about
Eomen, must die in the electric chair
,or the murder of Ruth Wheeler, the
pretty fifteen-year-old stenographer.
After only an hour and so minutes
deliberation, the jury found him
guilty of murder in the first degree,
bringing to close a trial marked by
It's swiftness. Wolter evinced no emo
hon over the verdict, being sound
ssleep in his cell while the jury was
celebrating. He will be sentenced
Wednesday.
Two witnesSes-the young prisoner
himself and a woman-were relied
upon by Wolter's counsel to contro-
vert the mass of evidence which the
prosecution had piled up against him
and to clear him from the charge of
having strangled Ruth Wheeler and
having burned her still living body in
the fire place of his apartment.

Wolter in his statement to the jury
coolly testified that he had never
written Ruth Wheeler in his life; had
rot even seen her and had only
written her name in his memorandum
book at the request of Fred Ahner,
who Wolter said wanted to start a Ger

A German girl. Kate Gille. whose
room adjoined that of Wolter, said she

there was nothing on it.
On Friday, the Gille girl said the
sack which later held Ruth Wheeler's
body, was in, the public hall full oi

DR.. Hyde's libel suit, the coroner's
jury and the criminal court.
Miss Keller is recognized as the

Mrs. Hyde will be used by the defense
in an attempt to refute Miss Keuer's
testimony Thus the whole fight CEN
tiers down to a battle between the two
women.
Mrs. Hyde is well versed with every
angle of her husbands case and is
lending much aid to his lawyers, espe-
cially in the examination of Miss
Keller
Little headway was made by Mr..
Walsh yesterday when he tried to en-
tangle Miss Keller. The witness ad-
mitted On the stand that she had made
a careful study of what her testimony
in the case would be as soon as the
investigation began. She retired to
her room and wrote history of the
case for her own reference before she
ever gave a word of testimony at any
place.
Asked whether Col. Swope took
strychnine tonic three times a day,
Miss Keller said she never testified
that he did.
Mr. Walsh then read from deposi-
tion of the nurse Il administered the
tonic three times a day"
Il may have said that said Miss
Keller, but my chart will show the
tonic was not administered three times
a day"
Mr.. Walsh completed his examina-
ton of Miss Keller in less than an
hour. Attorney Reed took the wit
ness.
WAS Mrs. Hyde present when Dr.

in having him appointed administra-
tor of the estate?" was asked.
She came into our presence twice, -

peared Dr. Hyde ceased speaking
