TO SELL EQUITABLE SITE.
Board of Directors Votes to Do This If
Satisfactory" Price Can Be Secured

New York, Feb. 1.-THE board OF di-
rectors Of the Equitable Life Assurance
society at meeting held Thursday in
the eompany's offices at No. 1865 Broad :
way, voted to sell the block in Broad
way between Pine and Cedar streets,
where the ruins of the old Equitable
building now stand, provided a salts
factory price can be obtained
1t would be difficult TO ascertain just
what a satisfactory price for the prop
erty would be. The city assessed the
entire property last year at l2,lo0,000.
1t was specified that the building repre-
sented s2,200,000 of this value, the lana
S9,50000O and the vaults under the
building s4o0,000 The Equitable society
had a private assessment made by the
Douglas Robinson, Charles +. Brown
company and John NJ Golding three
years ago, The average assessment of
these experts was found to be Sl3,500,-
900. but one Of them set his total as high
as Sl6,O00000. Many real estate men
are inclined to think that in view of the
rapid increase in property values in lower
Broadway $20.000000 would be a fair
estimate of the value Of the ground to-
day.

NEW INTEREST
Added To Investigation of Everglade
Land Cases.

Washington, Feb. ia new inter
est was added to the congressional in
curry into the Florida Everglades, con-
tinued yesterday by the House com
mittee on expenditures in the depart
ment of agriculture, by the fact that
Attorney General Wickersham had rec
commended grand jury consideration of
the charges of transferenee of public
funds against the recently dismissed Off
cials of the agricultural department
drainage bureau.
Ii was the dismissal OF c. G. Elliott,
chief drainage engineer, and his assist
ant, A. ID. Morehouse, that precipi-
tated the congressional inquiry, it be-
ing charged that they had been made
victims of Florida Everglades land pro-
nloters, who did not like their reports.

the department. now under suspension,
and R. p Telle, formerly an account
ant, are also involved in the papers

CRIPPLED YOUTH
GOT BROKEN LEG
Misfortunes Coming in Double Doses for
Young Ben McKane of East Barre,
and His Stepfather Has Been
Gone Month.

II is hard luck for young Ben Mekane
of East Barre. Already paralyzed from
his waist down from the effects of d
blow on the back, sustained seven years
ago, he last night had one leg smashed
when he slid against a tree on the Tuck.
er hin in East Barre, the bone being
splintered above the knee in such a man
ner that the limb will always be. still.
The accident is all the worse because
one month ago the boys step-father,
John Mckane, went away from home,
leaving his wife with three children, the
oldest of whom is Ben, aged IA. Recent
ly, the town has been aiding in the care
Of the family, who live in the Libersant
block in East Barre.
That last nights blow did not fall more
severely on the family was due to good
fortune, because Ben's little sister was
sliding with him when the sled banged
against the tree but she went off the
sled on the opposite side from the tree
and so was not injured. Ben was picked
up and carried to his home, where DIR.
N. f. Avery was called to attend him.
Later DIR. NJ l.. Chandler of this city was
summoned in consultation, and the two
physicians set the splintered bone. The
best they can promise is that the bone
will be stiff when it knits For seven
years he has been obliged to wear an
iron frame for the lower part of his body
and legs, and now it will be much
worse

foreign missionary society from Rev. Jo-
seph Taylor, who with other mission
aries Of the society in the interior OF
China, has now reached Shanghai.
The letter says American mission
aries are helping the suffering people
and adds:
There is only one opinion regard
ing the imperial troops. They acted like
fends. I wish to bear testimony to the
kind treatment of the citizen soldiers in
their effort to send us ON our way with
out harm. Some of them look rough
and uncouth, but they are gentlemen.
II am sure that this whole move
n,ent marks an advance. The depress-
ing influence of government opposition

ALL GOOD WATERS
Because They Waited on Themselves at

To enter an eating place, pick up your
own plate, knives, forks, spoons, cups
and saucers and napkin, then march to

at so much per and then carry your
dinner to a table and eat-that was the
novel experience of people who patron
lied the Cafetaria at the vestry of the
Congregational church last evening,
which was held under the auspices of the
ladies aid society. 1t was copied after
the manner of popular eating places on
the Pacific coast and, in lesser degree, in
eastern cities The idea was so new in
Barre that the patronage last night was
not so large as the ladies of the society
are accustomed to have at their suppers.
but the attendance was good and will
be larger next time.
The prices were modest, so that one
was able to get a first-rate meal at a
reasona BILE price, cold ham and potato
chips being marked at 10 cents, baked
beans, with brown bread, the same. escal-
loped oysters at Is cents, and other
prices accordingly. Needless to say. the
cooking was excellent. This fact. added
to the novel manner of service, made a
very attractive supper.
