MAY Finish new
CAPITOL IN 1916
Building at Madison Will Cost
More Than Six Million
When Finished
Under Construction Seven
Years and Two Wings are
Yet To Be Built

MADISON, Wis.,, June 6.-The new
sc, 600, 900 capitol building of Wiscon-
sin will be one of handsomest struc-
lures of it's kind in the United States,
according to Lew f. Porter, secretary
of the capitc commission and super
vising architect. With the exception
of the Wisconsin capitol, the most pre-
tentious structures are those of New
York, which will cost about $40 O,OOO,-
900, and Pennsylvania, which cost $S,-
O00,OO0 Neither dn size, design nor
architectural beauty will either OF the
two eastern buildings excel that of
Wisconsin. The cubic capacity of the
the capitol will be equal to that Of
the New York building, and will ex-
coed that of the Pennsylvania struc-
ture.
Under Construction Years
The great dome of the new building
rises 300 feet, and four great wings,
five stories high, extend at the points
of the compass. The extreme length
of the building from east to west and
from north to south, will be 426 feet.
The ground area covered is about l2O,-
600 square feet. The capacity of the
entire building, exclusive Of approach
es. terraces and ereas, will be 5000, 900
cubic feet.
The building has been under CON-
struction seven years and 1t is rea.
sonably certain that it will be finished
by July I, 1916. Two wings, the east
and west, have been completed. The
south wing probably will be finished
this year. The steel frame of the
dome is erected and will be enclosed
before 1913. The north wing of the
old capitol, the only part of the build
ing still standing, will be torn down
next year and the foundation for the
new wing laid. The new wing will be
built in 1914 and 1915.
Spend 100000 a Year on Building
Contracts for all of the work except
the interior finishing of the north
wing have been let, carrying more
than $5,O00,000. The actual amount
so far spent on the building and heat
ing plant, the latter separate struc-
ture half mile from the capitol, is
$3,673, ,431.15. The commission is au-
thorized to spend $1,000,000 a year,
and the legislature has made proWi-
sion by taxation and direct appropria-
tion for $6,100,OO0 for the entire con-
struction. The heating plant, equip
ment and tunnel work entailed cost
Of $500, 900. A large warehouse is yet
to be built in connection with the
plant, costing 100000.

OLD SOLDIERS
Want PENSION
INCREASED
Robert M. McWsdo.

WASHINGTON, June 6-Although
over 10000 veterans of the Civil war
have already turned in their appli-
cations for increased pensions un-
der the new law, Commissioner Dav'
export expects that considerably
more than 100000 will file their pap
ers before the rush is over. 1t is
safe to say that rarely have congress-
men or their secretaries been so busy
as they have been since the dollar-a-
day law went into eject. Some OF
the latter are at theip desks until
after midnight and the following
morning sees them up and at it again
long before seven o'clock, rather long
hours for clerical workers at the
capitol. One thing that these work
ers note is that most of the appli-
cants for pensions are now over IS
years of age, so that the "old SOL
dires" are old in fact as well as in
name.
There are quite number OF mat
ters that veterans ought to know
about this law, and of which. judging
from their letters, they are largely
ignorant. A soldier may have served
for a couple of years and been shot
to pieces. and yet he won't receive
a penny more than the comrade VINO
served the same length of time and
escaped scott free OF wounds and ILL.,
ness. The age Of the comrade and
the length of his service are the
prime factors. The date of his en-
listment and the date of his muster
ing out are noted at the pension Of
flee on a card index; then the length
of service is computed, and all fur
Tough, sick leaves, and absence by
desertion or otherwise are marked
off, and the number of days thus
away from his actual service are
taken from his time. Then, after all
that has been done. his age is noted.
Afterwards, by reading the table pro-
vided for by the act, the pension Of
flee folks know just what he should
get every month.
Chatting about the amount paid
out by the government in pensions,
including the Civil war, the Indian,
Mexican and Spanish Wars, which
foots up the comfortable sum of $4,-
$50, ,3S1. .73O, Commissioner Davenport
says, "there is no telling how much
the increased pension law will cost
the nation. More than $4,000 veter-
ans die each year. and the rate OF
mortality will increase. However,
about half of those who die leave Wild
ows who are entitled to pension,
provided that they had been married
to the pensioner prior to June IT,
1890"
There's one section of the new law
that's a bit misleading, and may have
the effect of building up hopes among
some Of the old comrades that they
are to get the maximum rate of $50
per month, regardless Of age or
length Of service. This particular
section provides that in the event OF
soldier being "disabled by reason
of his wounds, so that he is unfit
for manual labor" he will receive the
$50. The word unfit" has been in
terpreted by the Attorney General as
meaning totally disabled" 1t should
be remembered that the old and the
new laws read about the same in
this regard.
