INSTALLING MACHIN cry
Enormous Forge Building Nearly
ompleted-Heaters Used in
Laying Concrete.

Despite that the thermometer has
been at or below the freezing mark
for the past week, work at the enor
nous new buildings of the Rock Island
Plow company has not slackened. On
the contrary, it appears to have been
accelerated to the extent that a new
record in laying concrete has probably
been made. From Friday noon a week
ago, until yesterday at noon, just go
working hours, the work of pouring
the concrete for the fifth floor of the
new eight story concrete warehouse
went on continuously until the entire
floor was poured. This means that
total of 1,400 cubic yards of concrete
was laid at the rate of % 1-3 yards per
hour, really wonderful work. When
the cold weather and the extra work
that this necessitates is taken into
consideration, it appears certain that
the work done is a record.
HIVE to Fight Frost.
The mixing and pouring of concrete
In warm weather IS a simple matter,
but in weather such as prevails now,
IT becomes a problem. Nevertheless
it is being done and viii continue to be
done as long as the present weather
lasts. Only rain or snow can stop 1t
now. The means that are used to
make the concrete work possible with
the thermometer so low are interest
Ing. In the first place all the mixing
takes place in the cellar of the build
ing and the rock is perfectly dry. The
sand is not only dry, but is even made
warm and the water that is used is al
most boiling hot When the concrete
is poured into the cOnyeyanceS on the
floor on which it is to be poured, and
for a time after It is there. it is so hot
that it throws off steam. This heat
lasts for hours and is constantly in
tensified by other neat from below. On
the floor next to the top numerous
iron heaters are placed and they are
kept at white heat day and night I'M
til the concrete has set. There are p
or 80 of these heaters on the fourth
floor az present and they give off
enough heat to keep the concrete
above freezing. AS soon as the mix
ture begins to set tar paper is spread
over it and this aids in retaining tao
heat. Supervising Architect c. D. Nc
Lane states that if the present meth
DDS are continued the work can so on
until the building IS completed, unless
it becomes so cold that the men can
not stand it.
Forge shop Nearly Ready.
The enormous forge shop, which is
500 feet long and 80 feet wide, all of
material which will not burn. is very
nearly ready for occupancy. With The
exception OF the installation of the
metal sashes practically all OF the con-
struction work on the outside IS done
and on the inside there remains little
TO do besides finishing laying the con
crete floor. Even DOW machinery is
being set up in the portions of the
shop which are finished, and it will
not be long before actual work is being
done-in the building.
The lower two floors OF the new
warehouse are already doing services,

INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
PLANNED BY P|7TSBURC
Annexation of Boroughs and
Charter Revision Among
the Things Desired.

PITTsBURG, Pa, December os.-It is
doubtful If Pittsburg aud Its industrial
district ever before planned q greater or
more important series OF projects than
IS to be submitted to the state and ma
tional legislatures this winter. Things
talked of for years have come to euffi-
Gent head to ask authority for doing
hem. and IL authority be followed by
action the result will be Of more than
local interest II not effect.
Projects In View.
Concisely outlined the movements are
as follows:
For PittsburE-to-IAkeE Erie ship canal;
for the annexation OF contiguous bor-
oughs. so a to make the city in the
million population class; the revision of
the city charter. go az to permit govern
ment by commission; federal and state
aid to prevent the annual flooding of the
city by its three rivers; the creation Of d
city-planning commission; permission for
the city to construct a million dollar
subway to eastern suburbs; enlargement
OF powers Of the state railway commits
sion. so that 1t may have authority over
traction matters in P1ttsburg and re-
vision OF the school code, so that the
school board may be elective instead OF
being appointed by the courts.
Long Contemplated.
The pretentous canal scheme, though
years ed is still embryonic. but at a re-
cent meeting here of representative men
from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania the movement was enthusiastically
received, and permanent association
formed to further the project Accord
ing to the latest plans. the cost of $50
10000 would be divided between the
three states interested and control vested
IN joint commission. 1t is desired in
some quarters that the work be done by
United states Army engineers. Both Con-
sress and the state legislatures will be
approached and asked TO consider the
movement.

David Starr Jordan Says the
"UncIeS" Are in Control.
Lawmakers FORBID WAR
Emperors and Kings Unable to Ap.
peal to Arms.
INCREASED DEBT ONLY MENACE
Views Expressed In Lecture by the
President Of Leland Stanford
University.

CHICAGO, December 26.-Au Europe is
IN hook to its ''uncles.'' Therefore there
will be no war for many years to come,
because the money lenders will not per-
nit anything which will impair the loans
they have made. Briefly, these are the
conclusions Of David Starr Jorian, presi-
dent Of Leland Stanford University, de-
ivered last night i'm a lecture on 1.-The
Old Peace With Velvet Sandaled Feet
al Abraham Lincoln center.
All civilized nations are owned or
controlled " DR.. Jordan said, FOR they
say there is a difference between owning
and controlling a railroad. though some
II us cannot quite grasp the distinction.
Controlled by Holders Of Bonds.
The men who make the war loans
control all the civilized nations. The
SPitzenberger is not controlled Neither
is the Fill The 'uncles' OF the kings
control the others Enlperors and kings
and parliaments may not declare war to
satisfy a within, to defend their honor or
even to right a wrong. until they have
secured the permission of their 'uncles.'
There is no danger OF war, but there
IS grave danger that the war debt will
ne doubled. Europe's war debt Is $26,
.OO0O,UO One-third Of all the money
Of the world is due on the war debt OF
Europe alone. The Rothschilds and other
money-lending families absolutely con-
troll the situation.
'.Nine-tenths of the war scares in Eu-
rope and elsewhere are made by crafty
statesmen and q yellow press to divert
ne attention Of the people from reforms
hey are demanding.

SCULPTOR TO LEAD
HEIRESS TO ALTAR
Daughter of Railroad King and
Charles Cary Rumsey Win
Be Married Thursday
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEW YORK May 23.-Miss Mary
Hartman is at the Hartman country
estate, busily completing her trousseau
for her approaching marriage to Charles
Cary Rumsey on next Thursday in the
Little Church AT Arden, New York.
AS the family is yet in deep mourn
ing the wedding will be a very quiet af-
fair. 1t was at the beautiful country es-
tate of the Harrimans that the young
sculptor wooed and won his milk
maid (for Miss Hartman is propri-
etress of the Arden farms dairy
Friends of the young couple are MAX
ing this match as romantic as possible
They prefer to believe that the pros
pective groom is a poor but talented
young sculptor" when, in truth. his
family is very wealthy and socially
prominent in Buffalo, and young Rum
sey is a graduate of Yale.
Miss Harriman's trousseau is as plain
as might be expected under the cir
cumstances. though none the less
costly.
Inasmuch as it was the young mans
gallant horsemanship that won the
heart of the heiress, it seems particu-
larly appropriate that great attention
should be given the young woman s
riding habits. Several of the habits
have been designed and executed by
Redfern of heavy linen and gray OK
fords. The coats are particularly long
to display Miss Harriman's plump fig
ure to advantage. The habits are rather
daring in cut being a compromise be-
tween the bloomer and skirt. In the
trousseau there are more than a dozen
hats costing from 500 to 5000 each.
Several of them are pure white.
