In the Japanese capital there are
538 poor mems hotels. The north
east of the capital is where the great
est number is to be found. In these
inns the traveller is lodged in a room
with a superficial area of three feet

and requires more cubic feet of inn
he can obtain an apartment the same
length, but double the breadth, and
If he be more fastidious he can have
the luxury of an apartment six feet

Was Founder of Red Cross Society and Probably Best Known Woman
 in America
BODY GOES TO
 CHILDHOOD HOME
End Came After Many Years of Faithful and Patient Work on
 Behalf of Others
TASSOcidtcd Press DiSbatchl

WASHINTON. April 12-Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross and probably the most widely known American woman of her day, died at the home of the Red Cross in Glen Echo. Md. this morning at nine o'clock. She was ninety years old. Miss Barton suffered an attack of pneumonia in February 1911. had a relapse and the case became chronic. She went last summer to her old home at oxford. Mass. and returned to Glen Echo in feeble health in the autumn. Muscular weakness of the heart developed and for weeks her condition mas been serious. Her mind was undimmed almost to the last and she was ready with quick repartee that made her sick room place of cheer.
 A great regret of Miss Barton's was that during the last month her en- feeblcd condition made it necessary to suspenl work on her autobiog- raphy She had brought the work down only to the beginning of her public career as a Civil war nurse. She had outlined to her nephew. Ste phen Barton. the salient points in her public life for the completion of the work.
 The last years of the great Red Cross nurse were spent in retirement. She maintained a winter home at Glen Echo, but passed part of each summer at her birthplace in Massa- chusetts. She retired from the presi- dency of the American Red Cross in 1904 and since had no utilization with the organization of which she had been the head since it's establishment, largely through her effirts more than thirty years ago.
 Members of her household were reticent about discussing Miss Barr tons withdrawal from this work, con- tenting themselves with the state ment that she retired when more ambitious ones came forward. They sent no notification of her passing either to President Taft or the exec itive bod of the Rej Cross.
 Miss Barton will be buried where
 
 little cemetery at oxford. with her father. mother. brothers and sisters. she will be laid hard by where her cradle was rocked
 Funeral services will be held at Glen Echo home Sunday. Because of wish of Miss BartOn's expressed shortly before her death, her long time friend. Mrs. John A. Logan, will deliver the eulogy. Miss Barton leaned toward Universalism but was a member Of no church. The funeral party will leave here Sunday even- ing and further services will be con- ducted Monday noon at Oxford by Rev w. E. Barton, of Chicago, cousin and Rev F. H. Epler, of Worcester Mass. both Congregationallsts.

 WASHINGTON, April 12.-A vision of a great steel manufacturing plant on the Pacific coast in the compar- atively near future drawing from the billions of tons of western ore yet untouched, and supplying the coun- try when the great eastern mills have become idle because of the eX- hausted ore beds: formed the burden of the testimony given today by Jo- seph Sellwood. before the house steel committee. His testimony pointed to California particularly.
 Within twenty five or thirty years Sellwood predicted. the ores now con trolled by the United States steel corporation will be exhausted. Then the country must turn to the west for ore. either shipping the ore east CT bringing west the coke and coal to melt if.
 He said in Utah there are known to be billion tons of merchantable ore. For several years. he said, he explored the Utah ores for Hill, Gates and Hartman. They considered those ores a reserve. Sellwood thought the time will come when it will be prac- ticable to build steel plants on the Pacific coast. He told of the time when Gates and others considered erecting a steel mill at Los Angeles With the completion of the Panama canal the availability of western ore he said. would increase.
