SLAIN FOR ALLEGIANCE

NEW YORK. Sept. 3-Sews was
received to-day by Peter Mesa, a
Spanish student at Columbia Uniyer-
sfty, that his father. Fernando Mesa,
the Spanish consul at Lisbon and for
merly member OF the Spanish en-
bassy at Washington, was assassinsted
last Tuesday while aboard a train
from Paris to London. The assassi-
nation. the son said, was due TO his
fathers allegiance to the Spanish gov
eminent in its dispute with the Eati-
can.
Two men approached Mesa on the
train One carried a revolver cover
ed by a handkerchief, similar to the
manner In which Cxoigosz, the as
sassin of President Mckinley, conceal
ed his weapon. When within few
feet OF Mesa. the assassin fired twice.
both shots taking effect. The assas-
sin and his confederate were captured.
Censorship.
The delay in transmitting the news
to young Mesa was due to the cable
censorship in Portugal. Mesa received
the sad news from both his brother
in Lisbon and his sister in London.
He sailed for home to-day on the
steamer Baltic,
Fernando Mesa returned from
Spain from Washington the latter
part of July. He was a man of great
wealth and owned several sugar plan
tations In Cuba. He had nine chill
dren. the youngest of whom was born
in this country. Peter Mesa Is eigh-
teen years old. An aunt of the boy
Is now in New York hospital and
Mesa was afraid the news of the
death of his father would prove fatal
to her.
The Spanish legation at Washing
ton is taking an active interest in
the case and representative came to
New York to-day To confer with
young Mesa.

NO DELAY TO CLUB
Inspector Beck Says Promise of
Building Owners is Quite
Acceptable.

There Will be no delay In the re-
moval Of the quarters OF the Business
Mems Club to the top floor OF the
american National Bank Building. In
spector Beck told Manager Bfeedon OF
me club, that he was quite willing
70 accept the word or the owners or
the building that a fire esca De would
De erected. and the owners In turn de-
clare that they are now seeking estt-
mates on the most of such a fire es-
cape as Is required.
Since learning that clause in the
building code requires the setting UP

ton OF refusing to comply" said an
C1fical OF the bank Saturday "WEhere

Council. came from / am unable to
say. At any rate the report is not true.
Also. concerning the possible repair
ing or Encouragement OF the electric
wiring. that too will be done IL nee
essary. We intend to do whatever ia
required of us. We have no intention
and have never had any intention of
trying to fight against the require
fnents of any of the city departments.
Everything will be fixed as soon an
Is possible
1t Is regarded as more than proba BILE
that the promise OF the owners of the
bank building will prove as accepta Bile
TO the City Electrician as Mr., Beck
has already declared II is TO him. Con-
sequently it is practically certain that
the Business Mems Club will begin
moving from theid old quarters at
Ninth and Main streets within the
near future, and that the next few
weeks will witness the opening OF the
annex to the American National Bank
Building for business.
The repairing OF the electrical sys-
tenn in the building may prove an ex-
pensiye operation. The report that
the City Electrical Department had
raised the objection that the wires
We're grounded is said to be incor-
rect in that 1t does not go far enough
Grounded wires, 1t is said, are easily
remedied. In this particular case. the
objections center about the fact that
the plan Of wiring and Installing the
fixtures is one not approved by the
National Board bf Fire Underwriters
whereas such approval is specifically
required by city ordinance
II is therefore regarded as not i'm
probable that the wiring will have TO
be relaid. and the fixtures replaced by
others. The present wiring and FIX
lures we're installed at a cost OF about
$4,000.
