ON AVENUE THREE BLOCKS
LONG-LOCAL OFFICIALS THINK
TT WILL BE ALLOWED

The annual budget Of the southeastern
division of the Frisco system was for
warded to st. Louis yesterday and in 1t
was included an appropriation of $4,000
for freight depot at Birmingham
Should the officers and finance COM
mittee of the Frisco pass favorably upon
this item in the budget 1t Is confidently
expected that this year will witness the
start of work upon the much discussed
freight house of this company.
The freight house will be located on
Avenue B, between Fourteenth and
Eighteenth street, and will be about three
blocks in length. This item was included
in an appropriation for 1908 but was held
up on account of the money stringency.
General Agent A. d. Lightner of the
Frisco stated yesterday afternoon that ne
believed the item would be granted and
the plans as now approved would be car
ried out.
The annual budget will be approved in
st. Louis this week by the executive Of

BERLIN OF FUTURE
TO Be IDEAL CITY
CITY OF 100000 FoREcAsTED
FOR 1e75-GREAT Ex-
PANSiON.

Berlin, Germany, March 25.-Far-
reaching plans for the Berlin of the
future are absorbing the attention OF
German municipal experts If the au-
thors' calculations are right the kali
ser's capital before the end of the
century will be an ideal city with a
population of 100000, within an
area having mean diameter of thirty
kilometers eighteen miles). The city
will be made to order and systemat-
ically laid out in accordance with
plans adopted years in advance, pre-
scribing the location of residence and
industrial districts, the sites of parks
and the routes of transportation lines.
The plans in which this ideal pro-
ject is formulated are the fruits of a
prize competition among Berlin archi-
tects, engineers and municipal ex-
perts. The prizes have been award
ed and the public is eagerly awaiting
the exhibition in which they will be
displayed.
The project says Hermann jan
sci, an architect who is one of the
prize winners, originated in the con-
viction that the way to build city
is not merely to add blocks of houses
but to lay out a definite scheme of
residence and business districts and
provide for the proper use of the ad-
jacent forest and meadow land The
division of the land cannot be made
arbitrarily. 1t is properly the work of
architects who alone are able to de-
termine the purposes for which the
natural character of the land IS
suited"
The time for the realization of the
project the Greater Berlin committee
fixes at 1875, allowing two generations
to elapse. If the plans are approved
they will probably form the basis on
which the outlying districts of Berlin
will be developed

B. & O. WAGE SCALE TO
BECOME A STANDARD

New York, March 25.-Officials OF
the New York Central railroad yester-
day were rot prepared to indicate
what their answer would be to the
statements of conductors and train
men that the wage increase granted
by the Baltimore & Ohio was the
minimum raise the Central employees
would accept. Circumstances, how
ever, gave rise to presumption that the
reply would not be unfayorable The
men have given the railway officials
to understand that if the response IS
adverse, vote on the question of
striking will be ordered.
1t is generally understood that the
conductors and trainmen on the east
ern road have decided to make the
wage rate of the Baltimore & Ohio
the outgrowth of the recent negotia-
lions and the compromise arrived at
under the Erdman act-the standard
rate of all the roads in the eastern
section and the lowest to be accepted.
The policy as indicated by Presi-
dent Lee of the trainmen, was to con-
form the eastern situation to that in
the west, where minimum standard
has prevailed for some time.

LAMPSON MUST GO
WITHOUT A STATION

The Wisconsin railroad commission
yesterday dismissed the application
of Charles Pischel of Lampson, Wash
burn county, for an order directing
the Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha Railroad company to build a
depot and maintain the services of
an agent at that place. 1t appeared
from the evidence at the hearing that
the revenue derived from businss
originating at Lampson, both freight
and passenger, IS less than $4,000 per
year while the improvement and serv-
ice asked for would call for the ex-
penditure of much larger sum than
this, and as there are other nearby
stations and fair accommodations are
provided at Lampson the commission
refused to order compliance with the
demands of the petitioner.

MUST MAKE EFFORT
TO KEEP PLEDGES
FORMER GOVERNOR HERRIcK
CHARGES GOVERNMENT WITH
GROSS ExTRAvAeANcE.

Cleveland, March 25.-The repubIi-
can administration was arraigned
here last night before the Tippecanoe
club by former Governor Herrick,
who cahrged it with gross extrava-
gance and asserted that the high tai
if was necessitated for the immense
revenue required by its unbusiness-
like government methods.
Mr. Herrick was preceded by James
r. Garfield, former secretary of the
interior, who warned the republican
party that the country is impatient
for the fulfillment of its pledges, that
inaction or makeshift legislation
would not be tolerated Mr.. Garfield
declared that a new order has arisen
and that if republicans did not wish
the control of the government to pass
into other hands they must make an
honest effort to carry out the plat
form upon which they were elected to
power.
Mr.. Herrick, concurring in Mr.
Garfield's remarks, declared the time
mas come for the republican party to
''revamp" its doctrines.
eve must regulate the men who
are running the government, he said.
throughout the country from NUM-
cipalities and states on up to the
capitol at washington, there is the
grossest extravaganza"

CHICAGO'S SCHOOLS
STRICKEN FROM LIST

Chicago, March 25.-Chlcagos puo-
lie high schools were yesterday strick-
en- from the accredited list of the
North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, an organiza-
ton which represents the high educa-
tional institutions of twelve north
central states. The contest culminat-
ing in yesterdays action has been on
for several years, and the crisis be-
came inevitable recently when Ella
Flagg Young. superintendent of the
schools of Chicago, recommended to
the board of education that the aeso-
citation be ignored, because, she stated,
its lists are more in the nature of
an honor list than of an accrediting
list, since it does not appear that the
action of the committee in accreditlng
or declining to accredit school is au-
thoritative in determining the action
of the individual universities and col
leges which make up the association.

STEAL MAIL SACK,
RIFLE 900 LETTERS

Appleton, Wis, March 25.-A mail
sack containing from 400 to 500 let
tiers was stolen from the Ashland di-
vision depot of the Northwestern
road at an early hour yesterday morn
ing at Appleton Junction and its
rified contents were found at O'Clock
in the boiler house of a deserted
picket factory not far from the depot.
Practically every letter in the pouch
had been opened, but so far as it can
be learned by the postal authorities
nothing of great value was secured.
A quantity of cheap jewelry con-
signed to Milwaukee concern was
stolen Drafts, checks. express and
postoffice money orders, some of
them payable to Milwaukee, Oshkosh
and Fond du Lac persons, were left
by the thief, who is believed to be
the same fellow who broke into the
ticket office of the depot in the flats
here and who at the point of revol-
yer in the hands of Agent Robert
Hinch, was driven out of the building.
The mail was mostly from Sheboy-
gan and Manitowoc and was south
bound.

POPULACE FEARS
OLD ETNA'S RACE
VOLCANO IN VIOLENT STATE OF
AcTWlTY-MAss OF LAVA
FLOWING.
PEOPLE FLEE FROM HOMES
HELP BEING ORGANIZED
AT CATALINA.

Catania, Sicily, March 25.-Mount
Etna whose eruptions in the past have
wrought great destruction, is again
in violent state of activity Pro-
nounced movements within the crater
began Wednesday evening, steadily
increasing in volume, and last night
gravest fears were entertained as to
the results if the eruption continues
in it's present violent form.
From Catania, the correspondent
was motored in the direction of the
mountains. In passing the village OF
Mascalucia, IL miles in a direct line
from the crater, thick curtain of
smoke was encountered which entire
ly concealed Etna At Nicolosi, 10
miles from the crater, the entire pop
ulation gathered in the square to
watch the volcano, which appeared as
a black phantom above. Now and
then it was illuminated with flashes OF
light, appearing almost red. Higher
up the rain of cinders became thicker
and extended like a veil across the
mountain. A deep roaring was heard.
The lava flow has already reached
the vineyards above San Loe and
Rinazzo, seven miles from the crater,
and has buried a large number of
peasant houses. 1t came in several
streams and united into one great
mass about 90 feet in height and 1,500
feet wide It's velocity is estimated
at three to four feet minute. This
mighty wall of lava yesterday was
not more than five miles from Boil
passo and Nicolosi.
The meteorological station on the
mountain side has been destroyed and
the village of Borrello is in serious
danger The populace, terror stricken,
is flying from their homes. The
earthshocks reached SO in number,
but there was continuous vibration
and trembling many miles around
Everywhere the villagers were carry
ing images in procession, imploring
mercy Twelve new craters have
opened up.
Help for the people in the devas-
tated region is being organized here.
A detachment of soldiers and large
number of engineers and doctors have
gone forward. The project of Catania,
returning from the scene last even
ing, said:
Il witnessed spectacle and DESC
lation and ruin which only those who
saw the eruption of Vesuvius in 1906
can imagine The present eruption
can be compared to no other"
The authorities issued orders that
no one be permitted to go beyond Bel
passo, and soldiers are stationed at
various points to see these orders
obeyed The village of Borello is
surrounded by lava and the inhabit-
ants have fed.
Professor Ricco, director of the
Mount Etna observatory, said last
night:
The eruption is very grave,
think it will become much more seri-
Gus. The lava covered five miles in
16 hours, and if my calculations are
right, the eruption of the volcano will
not be short"
Many tourists, among whom Ameri-
cans are conspicuous, are pouring
into Catania to view the spectacle
The latest reports from Nicolosi last
night say that the lava current is
moving 100 feet an hour and that it
passed over Mount San Loe.
