FEARFUL IS TOLL IN LIFE AND
IN MONEY.
Continued from First Page.) }

knows that the United States gov
ernment owns buildings that cost
more than s300,000.00O and is spend
ing S20,000,000 year for new
buildings. 1t will be a surprise TO ev-
eryone, too, to learn that not one
cent of insurance against loss by fire
is carried on these valuable buildings.
Insurance at the ordinary rate would
cost more than half a million dollars
year, and the government avoids
this great tax by constructing build
ings that are securely fireproof.
TO attain this degree of security
from fire for government buildings
the government has gone to consider
able expense and the results obtained
fully repay the outlay. From these
tests to determine the strength and
fire resistance of building materials
it has been determined that Ameri-
can builders can with safety use
cheaper fireproof materials than they
do. 1t has been learned that the diff
ference in cost between fireproof and
inflammable buildings is less than
generally supposed and the officials
predict that this difference will soon
become so small that it will cease to
encourage the construction of flimsy
buildings. 1t has been found that
three to six times the necessary
amount of material is habltually used
by American builders in structural
work. The necessity also is shown
for better building codes in cities and
especially of a better enforcement of
the codes already enacted IL the pres
ent enormous fire losses are to be
diminished.
After a careful investigation II has
been determined that the total cost
OF fires in the United States in 1907,
excluding that of forest fires and the
marine losses tin themselves extens-
ive) but including excess cost of fire
protection due to bad construction
and excess premiums over insurance
paid, amounted to the enormous sum
of over s456, 900, a tax on the
American people exceeding the total
value of all the gold, silver. copper
and petroleum produced in the Unit
ed States In that year. The cost of
building construction in 1907 In
forty-nine leading cities of the United
States reporting total population
Of less than 100000 amounted to
1851. 6.2S6, and the cost of build
ing construction for the entire coun-
try Is conservatively estimated at
81, 900. 100000. Thus It will be seen
that nearly one-half of the value of
all the new buildings constructed
within one year is destroyed by fire.
The annual fire cost is greater than
the value of the real property and i'm
provements in either Maine, West
Virginia, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Alabama, Louis
lana, or Montana. In addition to this
waste of wealth and natural re-
sources. 1,449 persons were killed
and 1854 were injured in fires In
the United States In 1907.

representative of the American To-

compete with all of the Denver, Pu-

strictly wholesale business will be
conducted, and. with proper support
from the local dealers, it should prove
to be fiourishing industry.

The following advertisement ap-
] peared in the Times of Wednesday:
"Notice-Party who took silver
purse. engraved Helene Crawford.
Monday at church card party, return
to SIS Marion"
After inserting the foregoing, Mrs.
| Thomas B. Crawford. the mother OF
the young woman who lost the pock-
etbook. returned to her home and
awaited developments.
But there have been none.
The Times printed the story of the
loss of the purse Thursday. At that
| time the name of the person suffering
the loss was suppressed: but. because
of the persistent Withholding of Miss
Crawford's property. 1t has been
deemed just to print the name, so
that anyone seeing the purse with
the name engraved thereon will re-
cognize 1t instantly as the stolen ar
ticle.
The matter cannot be viewed In a
more charitable light, since there can
be no manner of doubt that, IL 1t had
been taken by accident, II would long
since have been returned to It's right
full owner, as the church reception at
| which 1t was taken occurred last
Monday.
There have been so many victims
OF the merry little Raffles who haxe
preferred to lose their belongings
rather than gain notoriety, that the
women who are preying on society
wax bold. and their actions are be-
coming more fragrant
However, in Mrs. Crawford they
have found their match. for she is too
| thoroughly indignant at the whole
affair to spare anyone's feelings
Mrs. Crawford. moreover, is the
Sherlock Holmes who is going to be
able to track down Lady Raffles; for
she has seen all the jewelers. in the
city and forbidden the erasing of the
name. The pawnbrokers have also
been notified, SO that the matter of
disposing of the purse has been made
as difficult as possible.
To carry 1t would be quite suicidal;
so that the only safe course to pursue
would be for the light-fingered one to
quietly deposit the purse in the mails
and SO close the incident.

Chicago Feb. 27.-The final bouts for
the national wrestling championship OF
the Amateur Athletic Union, which were
decided in the gymnasium of the Illinois
Athletic Club here last night. were most
interesting. Three of last years cham
pions, all from the metropolitan district
of New York, retained their titles, while
another New Yorker won championship.
Frederick Narganes, of the New YORK
Athletic Club, the metropolitan champion,
easily disposed of his opponent in the
15S-pound class, thereby still holsing his
national emblem. Johnny Helm, of the
Boys Club, had little trouble in the lla-
pound class, winning cleverly.
George Taylor of the Newark Turn
verein, was assured the championship for
another year by downing Samuel Andrew,
of Chicago, in quick fashion. Charles
Johnson, Of the Swedish-American Ath-
letic Club, of Brooklyn. successfully de-
tended his 145-pound title.
The local grapplers Jared badly, captur-
ing only two bouts-the 135-pound class,
the heavyweight class. which was won by
Frank Motifs.
