FEW FIREPR00F
BUILDINGS HERE
IS. c. MULENBERG-
Most of Those So Termed Are Really
Great Stoves, Is Claim
Made.

The recent hideous fire disaster In
new York has aroused discussion Of
nre protection I'm every city In tho
country. The chief topic that II be-
Ing discussed is the degree of pro-
lection afforded by the socalled ire
proof buildings.
8. G. Nuremberg. OF Detroit. who
mas made considerable study OF the
subject or fire protection said on this
point: Il do not believe that there
Is one absolutely fire-proof building
In Detroit. These so-called fire-proof
buildings are nothing but great stoves.
The shell OF the building il probably
really fire-proof, but the interior IL
hlled with infammable matter that
burns all the more fiercely for being
confined within the fire-proof walls.
The remedy for the fire danger ls
to be found in the construction OF
absolutely fireproof buildings with
out wood. There is no longer need
for a single piece OF wood TO be used
In the construction of modern build
ing. Everything can be made 0l
steel and should be for complete pro
lection. ~
Il believe that the proper way "a
eliminate the enormous fire loss in
this country Is to adopt the sugges
tions OF Frank G. Gilbreth,s who read
a paper not long ago before the Amer
lean Society of Engineers In New
York. He said that the first steT
should be laws restricting the use ol
wooden buildings, second, levy OF
taxes that would discriminate II
favor OF fire-proof buildings, ant
finally. establishing a government
bureau for disseminating information
regarding fre-proof materials. be
lieve that such laws will eventually
be passed everywhere In this coun
try, and | also believe that they viii
bring the fire loss of the United
States somewhere down to the rec
ords OF the European countries"

PARIS. March 30.-Lina Cavalieri
admitted to the United Press today
that she Is soon to institute divorce
proceedings against Robert w. Chan
Ter, and that financial settlement Is
now under discussion.
The diva returned today from st.
Petersburg. AS she talked to the
correspondent, she sat on tiny stool
She appeared in the best of spirits
The interview ended rather abruptly
by her announcement that she had
to don pink silk harem skirt for hei
sitting for La Gandara, the society

"Will you marry Prince Dolgourik
after you are divorced?"
With a well simulated cry OF hor
ror, Cavalieri shrugged her shoulder
and exclaimed:
Don't you think one marriage ex
perience has been enough?"
When Cavalieri appeared on tn,
street she wore full length fur coat
over her harem skirt.
Some day." she said, II hope we
can wear such garments without at

OF the 90,0O0,0 900 Americans who will
pay the freight on Mr.. Taft's extra
session | came TO Washington for an
swers TO these questions:
What is reciprocity"
viii it get the votes?
II so, what will 1t do to us?
They know almost everything in
Washington, so | got several different
answers to each question, The net
result seems TO be this:
Congress, in extra session, will chop
some holes in our tariff wall on the
northern border-probably bigger
holes than President Taft now recon-
mends--but they may not be all the
same holes.
II depends upon what you mean by
reciprocity. Mr.. Taft's kind isn't reci.
procity at all, according TO Senator
Clapp, of Minnesota, a strong progress
sive who won't let his wheat farmers
be gouged II he can help 1t. Tafts
plan Is purely tariff measure, sacri-
feing the producer to the manufac-
turer, like the Payne-Aldrich bill, and
must be considered as such, he says;
That doesn't mean that Senator
Clapp is against what he calls reel
; procity. Nor that other progressiyes
are against real reciprocity. Like
young Mr. Twist, they want more-a
whole lot more--and they want fair
er balance for the farmer.

mittee OF the whole today. This bill
particularly affects the State Bank OF
Fairview.
A bill by Rep. McEachern, prohibit
ing the use OF public drinking cups,
except where they can be cleansed,
was approved, but may have hard

some belief that the manufacturers
of patent drinking fountains and de-
structible cups are interested.

of sending inebriates to cures at state
expense, was approved.
Rep. Gansser asked that his bill for
state wide boiler inspection and
licensing Of engineers and firemen be
made a special order. He received a
quick rebuff from Rep. Lord, who
said that there was too much i'm
portant legislation on general order
to allow minor matters to be showed
in ahead, and that II any locality
wanted inspection, 1t could get 1t by
local ordinance, as Detroit has done
Gansser's motion was defeated.
Although IL was only three weeks tc
the end of the session, round dozer
bills were introduced.
Among these were one by Rep
| Bricker, appropriating $4,000 to bul

to improve the roads leading to thu

Rep. Glasner introduced bill
which is sweeping in its scope, in
that II does away with the board Of
pardons, and gives its duties to the
governor, as was formerly the case.
He says that the bill has the ap-
proval OF Gov. Osborn. Rep Glasner
is Democrat, first termer, and
modest, but he has commenced TO
cut considerable figure in the house.

FIRE LOSS IS s., 600, 900.
Work Of Clearing Away Wreckage
New York Capitol Starts Soon.

ALBANY. N. ", March 3O.-Fire,
smoke and water have ended their de-
structive work on the western portion
OF the capitol building, and as soon
as the ruins cool the work OF clearing
away the wreckage will commence.
Nearly all the departments located
on the eastern side OF the building re-
sumed business today. Those In the
damaged portion have established
headquarters in the city hall or in
adjacent buildings,
Several fire engines with steam UP
and hose connected have been sta
toned near the building for use In
case the fire breaks out again. II Is
expected that later today the firemen
will be able to enter the state library
portion of the building to search for
the body of Night Watchman Abbott.
The total loss is today placed at
$S,000,000.

But at least, | thought, there's one
man full of dynamic enthusiasm fol-

Call, stepfather OF the bill. ] sought
him in his Turkish-rugged lair But
he was just out of dynamics.
In blandly casual way he said his
bill undoubtedly would result in much
benefit on both sides OF the border
promote freer commerce, cause good
feeling-and many other beautiful
generalities. oh, yes, its tendency
would be TO lower the price OF food
stuffs-but he couldn't see how II
would hurt the farmer! Reciprocity S
right eye was fixed upon the future
when II would prevent an artificially
high price after our increasing con
sumption OF wheat had overtaken our
production. Now, OF course, with Can
ada and the United States both ex
porting large quantities of wheat. the
farmers return was really fixed by
the world price at Liverpool.
But there's much dispute about
Liverpool fixing the American farm
er's price McCumber denies 1t, and
quotes figures to show that the Amer
lean farmer close to the line gets 10
or IL cents more a bushel than his
Canadian brother a mile north He
credits that to the 25-cent tariff He
charges high cost OF living" to ex-
penses and profits tackled on after
the raw materials leave the producer.
To illustrate, he reduces the items of
the average senator's daily expense
account to farm products, like this:
Cab hire, station to hotel, six bush.

of cabbage: bell hops tip, bushel
and half OF barley; elevator boy
tip. three dozen eggs.

McCumber. with two bushels of pota-
toes for the waiter. Then a noon

consumes four bushels Of rye variety

bushel OF onions to dream on. Half
a carload Of turnips pays the days

Reciprocity debate in extra session
will be curious and complex. What's
left of the reactionaries will bitterly
oppose any tariff tinkering" Real
Democrats will demand far more
sweeping reductions, regardless OF
reciprocity. Democrats" allied with
the interests are willing to swat the
farmer II protected industries escape.
Senator Cummins' New York ad-
dress is regarded az an inspired pres
entation Of the progressive republi'
can attitude.
Reciprocity? Yes. but real reciproc-
ity. Not the Taft kind, they say. with
