CAPTAIN LAWLER
WOULD LEASE
HOTEL
Wants to Secure the Mills
Building for Hotel But
Molls May Not Fa-
VOr Plans.

Capt. James Lawler, formerly prOprie
etor of the Rice and Brazos hotels of
Houston, is here in an effort to secure
a new hotel III Ell Paso. Capt <1awler
wishes TO open a hotel here as soon as
possible, and he has been in conference
with number OF business men regard
ing the project. One OF the things now
under consideration is the conversion
of the new Arson Mills building into
modern, fireproOf. u story hotel. The
only thing in the way of this is said to
be Gen Millss aversion to a hotel
building Capt. LAWYER is said to have
had number OF conferences with Cen
Mills on the subject and has suggested
his plans for hotel building on the
site of the new Arson Mills building.
Another project which includes the
Arson Mills building, is the leasing or
purchase of the St. Regis hotel and the
leasing of the upper six floors of the
Mills building for hotel rooms. This
would make a hotel with accOmmoda
uonS for all of the people who are eX-
pected here for several years. it is said.
There is a hitch in this plan. The own
ers of the ST. Regis do not want to
lease the building. The only offer which
viii be considered will be to purchase
the property outright. While it is un-
derstood that Capt. Lawler has a num-
Der of influential men willing TO back
him in his projectl of giving FL Paso a
new hotel as soon as possible, it is not
thought likely that they would finance
the project to the extent of purchasing
the valuable st. Regis and its site.
On a number of other occasions, Gen.
Mills has declined to consider a propo-
sition TO make a hotel If his ne build
ing. He is building the Dig history
building as a monument and he prefers
an office buiIdlng rather than hotel
on the sits.
Capt Lawler has been here for the
past week and is working hard to bring
his negotiations to a successful con-
cluSion- He is we'll known as a hotel
man in east Texas, having been iden-
titled with number of hotels in HOus-
ton and other cities of the state.

farm on the county line (Cass-Jackson)
had never been priced above so per
acre up to the time of the construction
of the road; but within year after
the road was put in use, Mr.. knerpp
sold his place at S112-50 per acre, and
what he said about 1t (Which was the
general opinion OF those supposed to
have an idea of land valuations) was
that the advance was almost solely due
to the road. Another tract of about 125
acres in this county, Immediately north

pleted our road at $65. The present

it has also greatly stimulated property

vations of dirt roads that can build
rock roads as cheaply. and in many
cases cheaper, than did the Pleasant

many are wealthier. The rock road will
bring as great a profit. Why don't they
get together, go TO work and build
them?

O..U. R. IS BEHIND
THE PROCESSION
Earnings Increase 50 Per Cent in
Ten Years, But Mileage Il Same and
Cars Fewer, Says Bancroft.

Engineer Frederick T. Bancroft, who
appraised the Detroit United Railway
properties for the committee OF fifty,
makes some interesting comparisons
between Detroits growth In popula-
ton. as shown by the census figures,
and the earnings OF the ID. u. II. dur
ing the same l0-year-period. While
the city's population increased 63 per
cent. the net earnings Of the ID. u. r.
increased 679 per cent, according to
Barcrofts figures, yet, In spite OF this
showing and Notwithstanding the fact
that 1888 square miles have been add
ed To the city's area, Bancroft dec ares
that the company IL operating fewer
cars than Ii was 10 years ago, and that
It's mileage Is exactly the same as In
1900. He figures that the ID. U. r.
income is S25,3S9 per day. He adds:
1T must be remembered that the
company was making large profits al
six rides for % cents, and, without
~going to any expense In return. II
changed twelve years ago TO five rides
for % cents, net earning OF 20 per
cent. Can anyone study these figures
and not conclude that the company
must be manipulated. TO show II can
not pay dividends? The Detroit Rail
way cost $1.200,00O. 1t consolidated
with the Detroit Citizens company fol-
s., 200. 900. The ID. U. X. claims 80.
900 900 for the same property. IL Is
understood that this property Is earn
ing over 100000 annually. or pei

claims II cannot pay dividends.

PHILANTROPIC DOCTOR
GIVES AWAY HIS OWN GRAVE
ST. Paul Man Saves Unfortunates
From Burial In Peters Field
Aided Pennlless Women.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 26.-"The
kindest old doctor that ever lived"
this city says OF DR.. A. J. Stone.
He received immense fees from the
wealthy, but he gave 80 much time
and money to the poor that he was
almost penniless when he died.
His chief delight was to be able TO
assist penniless working women. He
gave service and medicines and often
kept patients in hospitals at his own
expense.
To him the pauper's field was q
place of horror. Whenever one of his
patients died he stood the expense OF
burial. His funds grew low, at last.
but his charity always grew larger.
There was his own family lot in Oak
land cemetery. Plot by plot he doled
IL out to the unfortunates. Beside the
graves Of his wife and children are the
graves of a dozen unfortunate of the
world.
The doctor died, nearly 20 years
old. Then II was discovered that the
Stone cemetery lot was so filled with
graves that there was no room there
for the fine old doctor to rest Friends
sent the body to his boyhood home In
the east.
