A decrease of 12 per cent in building CD. eratlons in 50 of the principal cities of the country In March, as compared with March, 1910 is shown by a report issued by Construction News.
 Permits were taken out in March in C cities for the construction of 21, 675 build. ings, involving an estimated cost of s69, 1S0,975. as against 21,7S6 buildings, repre-. senting an investment of $7s. ,613, for the same month year ago. This Is a de. crease of III buildings and $9, 48O, ,5as, or 1: per cent. This is not considered a bad showing. It is to be noted that the princi- pal losses were in New York, where there was big drop of A per cent, as com. pared with loss of 55 per cent in Brook lyn and only per cent in Chicago, while Boston shows an increase of 62 per cent and Philadelphia 4 per cent, making the aspect for the month decidedly spotted but 1t is believed that with a more settled condition of the weather construction will proceed upon 8 satisfactory basis.
 A group of interior and coast cities con tinue to make good showing, notably Louisville, with a gain of 274 per cent; Indianapolis, 69: Cincinnati. 16; Cleve- land, 2; Milwaukee, IA; Pittsburg. IS Rochester 22; Fort Wayne, 20; San Die go. 124: Los Angeles, 23; San Francisco g.; Oakland. "A. and Portland B. Tho south makes an excellent showing.

SMART NEGRO
 HEAVILY FINED
JUDGE ARCHER OBTAINS FRANK SCOTT WITH $500 FINE AND SIX
 MONTHS IN JAIL.
Heaviest Penalty That Could be As sessed Under the Law to Negro Who Wrote White Girl
 the Note.

Frank Scott, the negro who came here from Mississippi, but who was supposed to have been highly educa ted at Oberlin college in Ohio, and who wrote young white girl of this city a aote wanting her to accompa- ny him to California, was yesterday fined $500 and given six months in jail by Judge Jack Archer. setting as ex- -officio justice of the peace.
 Disturbing the peace was the only charge that the offense could be brought under
 The negro, tall. brown skinned, well dressed negro. wearing white shirt and collar, bow tie, patent leatn- CT shoes with cloth tops, and altogeth- CT well dressed for a negro. appeared in court in company with Jack Page, local negro attorney.
 A formal plea of guilty was enter ed.
 Judge Archer had the young lady called and she testified that the ne gro had been in the store several times looking about at articles and taking to her and then told of his last visit when he left the four page en- dearing note on a counter. called her attention to 1t, and went out. She identified the note.
 The negro had nothing to say When Judge Archer pronounced the sentence he was standing before the bar with couasel. He immediately turned and sat down, apparently ill disgust at the penalty.
 There were many negroes in the room, some probably who had been attracted in the negro's behalf, others from mere curiosity. There were about an equal number of whites, most Fly young men who talked in underones about the incident.
 Mayor Waters has consulted some of the leading negroes of the city about the affair, and advised them to take some kind of action He states that when the negroes show ac- quiescence in such acts or at least do not show their disapproval of them. it causes the whole race to be crifi- cised for the act of an individual. Several of the prominent negroes oi the city stated that they regretted that more punishment could not be meted out, and others went so far as to talk of handling the negro af- ter the law was through with him.

FOR CONCRETE FIRE HOUSES
Commissioner Ignores Protests,
Saving City Will Save $4,000.

Thirteen representatives Of contractors
builders and the Bricklayers Union. APP
peared before Commissioner Johnson at
Fire Headquarters yesterday morning. OBJ
jecting to the specification for concrete in
the departments contract for twenty-one
new fire houses.
Frank Grady. builder. of No. | Madi-
son avenue. said that former Commissioners
Waldo. who had signed the plans, was no
longer head Of the Fire Department; that
the plans had not been approved by the
Building Department: that the use of con-
crete would mean an additional expense
of from 10 to Il per cent over brick, and
that there was no need of fire houses being
freproof James p. WhIskeman. an en-
gineer from the Building Department,
stated that I'm his opinion. the plans were
not complete and that they were drawn
up 50 that no contractor could safely make
an estimate on the work. John Grill,
business manager of the Bricklayers
Union. told the Commissioner that the de
partment was discriminating against the
brcklayers in favoring concrete.
Commissioner Johnson heard all the OBJ
iectors patiently, and then said that $780,
600 would be saved to the city in the use
of concrete: that the specifications had
gone through all the necessary official
channels and had been approved; that
there had been no discrimination against
any one: and that, as concrete was the
material decided upon. concrete would be
used in the construction of the buildings.

WHOOPING COUGH SPREADS
Reports Show Increase of NAL
adv Even Among Adults.

There are many more cases OF Whooplns
cough in New York City this time in July
than for the same period in many years, II
was learned Yesterday at the Health De-
partment Instead Of the disease being
principally among children. II was said
that many grown persons had been af-
1cted, and that in some instances persons
OF advanced age had been seriously Ill
with II.
Recently complaints have come TO the
department from persons frequenting the
recreation piers and other public places
that there were many children taken to
those places who had the disease and that
II had spread among other children.
1t was pointed out by physician IN the
department that as the open air treatment
was the principal one in the care OF vhoop-
ing cough, such mothers who took their
children to the open air piers were doing
the best for their own children, even while
subjecting others to possible contagion. IL
was also said that none Of the hospitals in
the city had wards set apart for whoop-
ing cough patients.
Among the many children who come TO
the department Offices TO be vaccinated
those who have whooping cough are not
permitted to stand in line for fear Of
spreading il among the others. As many
az five hundred children are vaccinated in
one day, and there is always a waiting
line

SEIZE HURTIG'S FINERY
Customs Men Say Theatrical
Man Failed to Declare $500.

Jules Hurtig. president OF the Hurtig &
Seamon Theatrical Enterprises. got by the
customs inspectors on his return from Eu-
rope on Thursday. There was some ex-
planning done yesterday at the Custom
House by Mr.. Hurtig. but his arguments
did not convince Surveyor Henry, who
order ed the seizure OF 500 worth OF inery
brought In by Mr.. Hurtig and his party.
When the steamer Prinz Friedrich VIII
helm arrived at the pier Mr.. Hurtig pre-
scented declaration specifying $50 worth
Of goods purchased In Europe. a casual
examination disclosed that his purchases
were worth much more. and the baggage
was ordered sent to the Appraisers stores
for examination. Here the value was fixed
at 500 In excess OF the $50 declared.
In explaining the matter To Surveyor
Henry Yesterday Mr.. Hurtig said lie had
made out the declaration for his own and
for the baggage OF his sister and brother
in-law. lie therefore thought, he said.
that he had the right TO deduct $500 as the
amount allowed to come in free. II the APP
praisers found the goods worth 500 more.
he said, it was due TO the fact that his
figures had been supplied from memory
Mr. Hurtig nay appeal 10 the Treasury
Department, or pay the home value Of the
goods II lac cares enough TO get them again.
