Reno, the little city of 10000. on the
western boundary of Nevada, famous
for prize fights and marriage dissolu-
tons, has just cause for more favora
BILE regard. The reason is shown above
in the new association building it
has provided and dedicated to its boy
hood and manhood. and which spells
a new civic enthusiasm for righteous
ness in the community. Few would
have believed il possible for Reno to
secure such a splendid building. or
TO be concerned about making the eff
fort. And Yet the account of the cam
paign for funds, which resulted be-
yond local expectations, is one of the
modern romances of Philanthropy
The campaign was launched in May,
1910. and the stakes set for $4,000.
Within the ten day period of the cam
paign not only the $4,000 was raised.

Y NJ. C. A. building.
The board of appraisers, which was
composed of George F. Kirby. Frank
Brennecke. E, T. Austin, c. H. E.
Boardman. and S. c. Bell, settled upon
this sum at a conference following an
inspection Of the property. The APP
praisers acting in the work OF fixing
a valuation on the property repre-
scented the Marshalltown Club, the city
council, the Marshalltown Trades and
Labor Assembly, and the Y. NJ. c. A,
in the order as they appear. The last
named member OF the board was
chosen by the four other appraisers.
Is Maximum Commercial Value.
The valuation as agreed upon. which
was based on location and values of
other properties near by, is considered
as about the maximum value for COM
mercial purposes that the city could
expect to receive for the property at
private sale. The Y. NJ. c. A. building
committee is somewhat disappointed
IN the appralsement, as il had hoped to
get a more nominal appraisement,
somewhere around $4,000, in view OF
the fact that the building the associa-
ton proposes to erect will be of pub
lie nature. At meeting of the COM
1nittee the appraisement was discussed.
but no formal action taken.
Price Goes Before Voters.
The price as fixed by the appraisers
will go before the voters at the city
election, in a proposition to advise the
council as TO the sale of the site at
the appraised value to the Y. NJ. c. a.
The council has asked the expression
of the voters to determine the wishes
of the people in disposing of the pro-
crty for a public purpose.

While suffering from shock, there was
nothing to indicate that she had been

Final Speeches to be Made
Observation-Disclosures
Rule Tomorrow.
CURRENCY REFORM
President Wilson Announces His Will
ingness to Have it Taken up After
Revenue Bill.

Washington, April 2s.-When the
House met today the end of The gen
eral debate on the Underwood tariff
bill was in sight. The final oratorical
broadsides will be fired at a night
session, and tomorrow will begin the
more peppery bombarding under the
five minute rule.
The House expects to debate the
bill for week or ten days under the
five minu!s rule, which carries with
it the privilege of offering amend
ments.
The bill will be read section by Sec
tion by section with Republicans
and Bull Moose members seek to per-
feet it-from their viewpoint No
amendments are expected to carry,
however, and the bill will be on It's
way to the Senate early in May.
Congressman Underwood. majority
leader, said today that following the
passage of the tariff bill, probably a
day will be devoted 10 the Sims-Glo-
yer controversy. The House then will
mark slime for few days, while The
Ways and Means Committee is max
ing up the standing committees Of
the House. The task Of distributing
committee assignments is a delicate
and bothersome one, and Mr.. Under
wood thinks it may take from two
to four weeks to apportion the COM
mittee plums.
Currency legislation now seems to
have the right Of way after the tariff
bill is sent to the upper chamber.
President Wilson has passed the word
along that he is willing 70 have cur
rency reform taken up at the extra
session, if such a program does not
interfere with the tariff.

CITY Of SOU AR|
DURING The. SIEGE
Women Months Without
Bread-3OO Said to Have
Starved.
APPALLING sc EN- E S
Powers Still Considering Definite
Plans For Joint Action to Head Off
Austria Hungary.

London, April 2S.--In a dispatch to
the London Express from Scutari,
Alphonse Coulander, the war CORES
ponden; of that newspaper, tells of
appalling scenes in the captured city
Coulander says:
"The siege has been terrible in its
effects. The faces of the children hound
me. They were starved and wither-
ed.
women in baggy Turkish trousers,
with veilsd faces, followed the SOL
diers, as we'll as their weakly limbs
allowed them, to the quays, where
great loaves were given them. II
was Ghe first bread they had eaten in
months.
"The plight of the poorest people
was fearful. Some ate grass, others
any rubbish, so long as they could
fill their stomachs.
almost 300 persons died of abso-
lutte starvation. Two thousand sick
and wounded are in the hospitals"
1t was confidently expected in mill
tary circles that the ambassadors of
the powers, meeting in consultation
at the foreign office this afternoon,
would Immediately formulate some
definite plan for joint action regarding
Scutari, ir order to head off the indie
pendens action contemplated by Aus
tria-Hungary.
Dispatches from Berlin and Rome
today said that 10000 ustria-Hun-
garian troops were marching on Mon
tenegro to forcibly wrest Scutari from
King Nicholas. and that an Austria
Hungarian fleet was leaving Trieste
independent Of the international
blockading squadron to harrass the
Montenegrin coast.
The situation is acute, and the ru-
mors from tria-Hungary are ex-
pected to goad the ambassadors into
concerted action. In view of the
strained relations now existing
throughout Europe, diplomats realize
that it would be unfortunate for any
nation to move Independently against
Montenegro.
The six powers agreed to make Sou
tart the capital of Albenia, and they
still adhere 10 that decision, but for
any one power to try to coerce the
little kingdom, not waiting ror the
nations to act jointly, might possibly
precipitate grave complications. The
aloofness of Russia in the Montene-
grin affair has already caused uneasi-
ness.
