Is there a Chinese fruit trust in

A good many persons have lately
begun to think so, and some Of the

have evidence to prove it. They have
not yet announced however, whether
they propose to invoke the aid Of the
Sherman antitrust law to bust up
the pernicious combination.
Evidence of trust methods have al

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Plans for
a most complete Encouragement of
the army are now under way, and
while no one connected with this
movement will make anything like a
specific statement it is believed that
the rearrangement will be the most
radical in the history of our military
establishment. Testifying before the
House committee on expenditures in
the War Department some time ago,
General Wood briefly and very gener,
ally outlined some of the work con-
templated in this reorganization, but
declined to make specific mention on
account of the embarrassing position
it would place the army board in by
reason of the protests sure to follow
But that the work is now we'll under
way, and that none of the Llans will
be announced until they are entirely
complete seems certain.
Dividing the FORCE.
One of the important changes gen.
orally believed to be announced in
the near future will be the division OF
the entire army into continental and
insular force. General Wood has al
eady given out the fact that he is
working out a plan for the establish
ment of permanent regimental com
mands in the Philippines, to take the
place of the present expensive plan oi
transE orting entire regiments to and
from the islands every two years
Under this plan officers would be sent
out to the islands or ordered home
as is now done in the case Of nava
officers assigned to or detached from
duty with a vessel on foreign sta

More than $4,000 strikers still remain

cry effort during the next few days to

The strike began last September and

when the contract was let called for
seven stories. Then about three weeks
ago it was made ten stories
Today the plans have been drawn
and everything is in readiness to make
this structure thirteen stories high

above eleven stories
The. accompanying picture of the
new general office building shows the
architects perspective drawing. It
shows also that the new structure will
loom high above all other buildings in
the Vicinity-even though some of
them are five, six and seven stories
high.
The additional floors will be con-
structed in reinforced concrete with a
terra Gotta facing in the front, and
white enamel brick on the sides with
gray brick in the rear
Just above the eleventh floor is a
small cornice above which are the
two upper floors decorated in classic
style with Ionian columns between the
windows and a mammoth cornice and
freize above. This breaks the lines of
the straight architecture below and
gives a beautiful effect to the struc-
ture.
Four Santa Fe trade marks decorate
the cOrnlce-Iney mt the general
architecture in such a manner that
they are hardly noticeable.
Above the main archway is en-
eraved in beautiful designs "Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe."
Eight Floors Finished.
The contract for the additional three
stories has ont been let but arrange
ments will be made shortly for the
completion of the work. Contracts for
the ten stories are in and work is
progressing eight floors are finished.
There has been a rumor in railroad
ciBcles for some time that the statisti-
