PUBLIC LIBRARY PROTECTED
Engineer Describes Precautions
Taken Against Fire.

Tho precautions against fire occurring in
the New York Public Library. where ac-
commodations for three millisn books have
been planned by Carrere & Hastings, the
architects at No. 225 Fifth avenue, were
outlined TO a Tribune reporter by owen
Brainard, chief engineer in charge of con-
struction of that building. yesterday.
If an incendiary attempted to make a
fire in the New York Public Library he
would have to take into the building the
material with which to do so, unless he
burned some Of the books" said Mr..
Brainard.
The building is completely guarded by a
system Of standpipes, with long lines Of
connected hose on each floor. These stand
pipes are under constant pressure from
large water tanks in the attic, and are
connected at the bottom to heavy duplicate
steam pumps especially arranged for fire
service. Every precaution has been taken
in that building that could properly be fol-
lowed We did not install automatic
sprinklers. fearing the loss that might
occur at any time through the operation Of
the sprinkler system when there was no
fire needing attention. The best sprinkler

HEN AS TRUST BUSTER.
Texas Hen Makes Cold Storage Eggs
Hit the Toboggan.

San Antonio, Texas, March 10
When the Texas hen starts in on an
antitrust campaign, she can do more
in three months than the govern
ment has done since it took on the
effort of trust busting, The con-
dition of the egg trust today is
sample of what the old hen can do
for organizations which attempt 10
extort money from the people by
cornering a food product. certain
wise financiers saw great posslbill-
ties in controlling the egg market
and for a time they succeeded. But
when they were in the real zenith
of their success, the Texas hen as
serted herself and cold storage eggs
merely hit the high places III thelr
descent down the toboggan. Inc
first drop was from 40 cents TO 80
cents. A few days later came a drop
OF dime a dozen. About this time
the cold storage men threw lew
fits and said a lot of things when

these performances did not bother
the hen. She was on the job all the

OF five cents per dozen came ana

BIG BAILEY, LITTLE CULBERSON

United States Senator Bailey, in a
late telegram to State Senator Co
fer, has declared that it was due to
his, Baileys, influence that Senator
Lorimer asked for the withdrawal
of that $25. 900 item from the APP
that Senator Bailey could. ii he so
desired, prove all this by the afore-
said Senator Lorimer to the full sat
isfaction of Pitchfork Tillman of
South Carolina and one or two 9th
er senators. and quite number of
followers in Texas.
And it may be that this statement
by Senator Bailey is a correct repre-
sentation of the whole affair, that
the efforts of a certain organ to sug-
gest through insinuation and inuen-
do, that Senator Culberson was not
in the least responsible for the de-
lection and defeat of that $4,000
steal. are within the bounds of reaS-
on and beyond the charge of SLAM
der But how about the array of pc
culiar circumstances that surround
this whole transaction in so far as
Senator Bailey has to do with it?
Where and when did Senator Bailey
exert his influence over Lorimer to
get him to ask for the withdrawal OF
this nvidious $4,000 item that so
mysteriously appeared in the ap-
preparation bill? Taking for granted
q D. ;.,E n
responsible for Lorimer's actions in
the premises, why was that influence
so exerted?
During the last days Of the ses-
sion OF congress which closed one
week ago We find Senator Bailey do
ing all in the power of human gift
ed with more than ordinary intelli-
gence to force a change of sentiment
in the senate as to the seating of Mr..
Lorimer He had, through the means
of a masterful speech and otherwise
overcome a majority that had been
against this gentleman from Illinois,
and ii was his ingenuity that secured
a vote and seated Lorimer as a sem
ator We desire to give Senator Bal
ley fun credit for all this. In the
closing hours of the session, when
others were denouncing and ques-
tioning the why's and wherefores OF
the appearance in the appropriation
bill, without the knowledge or con-
sent of at least a part of the commit
tee which had it in charge and I'M
der the guise of unanimously
agreed amendment, this s25 900
item. we find Senator Bailey con-
spicuously defending the propriety Of
such item and trying to show why it
should be allowed. His loneliness in
this contention only aggrayates the
conspicuousness Of his act. If Sena-
tor Bailey had already influenced
Lorimer TO ask the senate to drop
the item from the bill, why should
he attempt defense of that which
he could not endorse? II he was hon
est in his defense of the item and
believed the senate would be justifi-
ed in making such an appropriation,
why did he influence this man Lori
mer to withdraw this ITEM
These are not idle questions. but
