Rear of Excavation Will
Slide.

Using Rear Rooms.

Fearful that the collapse of a cor
ner of the First National Bank build
ing viii be duplicated. but with more
serious results in the case of the es-
tablishnent of A. Hoen & Co. No.
1909 to 1125 Bank street, Building
proprietors of the latter concern not
TO occupy the rear of the building.
An alley five feet wide is all that
separates the rear of the building re-
ferred to from the excavations. which
caused the collapse OF the bank build
ing. Inspector Beck says he expects
the alley to slide toward the excava-
tons,
If there should be sliding. MIR.
Beck declares the foundations of the
Hoen structure will become loosened
and collapse OF at least the back
wall will result.
The Hoen building is four stories in
height, and the rear rooms are filled
with lithographing machines weighing
thousands of pounds. Should these
fall they might take down a large
portion OF the front of the building
with them.
Inspector Beck has sent a warning
10 the urn, CautioilihE tHeHl NOT TO
allow any Of their employees TO go in
the rear part of the building until
the foundations of the Virginia Cor
poration structure have been built up
to the top of the excavations.
Orders have gone forth to rush the
construction work with all possible
speed. In the hope that It may be COM
pleted before the alley begins to slide.
Mr.. Beck says, however. that the
work can scarcely be completed in
less than ten days. and he is doubt
full whether this will be soon enough.

BERLIN, Sept. 2S.--"The clashes of
ers in the Moabit precinct and the

signs of a grave revolution. They
were OF immeasurably more gravity

police"
This was the import Of an official

out by the strikers"

Although the communication does
not newton the socialists by name,
there is no question but ii is aimed
at them Unofficial observers Of the
disturbance are also credatlng the
outbreak to the socialists. The ma
iority Of the laboring men involved
in II are highly protected and skilled
workmen. and the trouble was the
result Of the seething political dis
content rather than dissatisfaction
over wages. according to the authori-
ties,
The quarter in which the rioting
has occurred liz given over largely to
the best class of workmen and small
tradesmen. 1t was the houses Of
such people from which attacks were
made on the police. This fact lends
"A sinister significance to the disturb

CLAIMS BELT AS
WESTERN GRIP"
LIVED WITHIN TWENTY MILES OF
SPOKANE AND DIDN'T KNOW
IT WAS ON MAP.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 2S.-Rob
ert Foster, who has been living as g
hermit near Fairfield, Wash, since
1871, when he came to Spokane county
from Ohio, took his first railroad jour
ney few days ago, going to the home
of his brother, Isaac Foster, at indie.
pendence, Ore. He was surprised
when told that Spokane, a city Of 1885,
900, had been built within twenty
miles of his shack, since 1872. He is
broken in health, probably as the re-
suit of exposure and lack of food while
sick and alone in his shack. Foster
owns 100 acres of farm land, but only a
few acres are under cultivation as an
orchard and truck garden, the rest be-
ing as nature left it. He made it a
preserve for game birds and other wild
things and guarded it carefully against
invasion by hunters. He raised water
melons, vegetables and tobacco for his
own use and sold enough to pay taxes.
His friends were Indians from the
Occur d'Alene reservation and boys
from the surrounding country His
chief diversion was playing war time
tunes on battered violin with single
string.

lieve it to be the most effective way of
reaching the farmer and give him the

write me about the first Of November
about this matter and we shall make
every effort to give you good course.
With kindest regards,
Very truly yours.
