trict, had become the sub
jeet of eight separate investigations
by night-fall. Some of these were to
determine where lay responsibility
for the conditions which made the;
loss of life so large, and others were
directed toward devising measures to
protect hundreds of other men forced
by circumstances to seek shelter in
similar Places. Directed by District
Attorney Pellitier, the grand jury paid
a visit to the hotel while the ruins
were still smoking. They saw the re-
mains Of cots laid side by side in q
general dormitory on the fifth floor
and narrow and boxlike rooms on
floors below in which privacy was OBJ
tanned by inmates for few cents
more than was peid by the dormitory
occupants. The cause Of the fire was
not determined.
Later the Jury went to the morgue
where Medical Examiner Timothy j.
Leary pointed out that in nearly every
instance death had been caused by
suffocation. Other lodging houses In
the vicinity were afterwards inspected
by the Jury in order to see how those
houses were conducted In reference
to the safety of the occupants at
night.
Other Investigations were the Off
cial inquiry by Medical Examiner Nc

 Mr Riker has even worked out the method he would use in building the jetty. He would have a backbone of rock 30 feet high above the bed of the ocean as narrow as can be laid Against this the Labrador current would deposit it's sand which it carries in great quantity from the north. A wall thirty feet high would cause an
 incline of sand a mile long on the north and half mile on the south. and within a few months the deposit would cover the wall. When this fill- ing was complete a second backbone would be laid, and so on until the wall was high enough to defect the northern current and to get the de posits of sand from both streams. He would require a fleet of about twenty hopper barges which would carry the

Realizes Wonderful Possi- bilities in Salt River Val
 ley and Takes Large Block of Stock of the Home Builders of Phoenix

G. F. Carson, investment broker of Peoria, Illinois, has spent several days in the city the past week, look ing over the opportunities for invest ment, particularly in home builders stock and bonds. As Me. Carson eX- pressed himself-"So many of our Peoria people have invested in home builders securities. l concluded l wanted to handle this business if it. was q safe and fair proposition.'
 After looking over the Chelsea Place property and the houses Home
 Builders mas constructed, he was so
 well satisfied with the future pOssi-
 bilities of this prog 1essive institu-
 tion. that he contracted for $25,00O
 ' per cent gold bonds, taking not less
 than $5000 monthly, and also secured
 the Peoria agency for sale of Home
 Builders stock.
 The sale of these bonds will give
 the company ample funds to build the
 houses they have contracts for, and
 they will immediately construct more
 of those elegant homes in Chelsea
 Place for which they find ready sale
 as soon as completed
 Elliott Lee of Anderson, Indiana, president of the Anderson Loan as sociation, was also a Phoenix visitor the past week. The Anderson Loan company is one of the largest loan associations in Indiana, having as sets of $3.0OO. 900. MT Lee visited Phoenix three years ago and has since kept in touch with our city. When MT Greene went east last summer in the interest of Home Builders. he visited Anderson. and Mir.

PROPOSES TO MELT ICEBERGS

Carroll Livingston Riker, a New York engineer, proposes in small book issued yesterday to change the climate of the whole Atlantic coast of North America, and to alter even the solar inclination of the earth. His plan is to send the great heat-bearing Gulf Stream, unchilled. into the very heart of the Arctic. The warm cur rent, he maintains would melt the frozen polar seas, and by this substi
 tuition of water for ice he believes the earth would swing around q bit on it's polar axis and present to the more direct rays of the sun the re
 gions that are now uninhabitable for most of the human race.
 The effect on the coast line of the
 United States would be remarkable and beneficial, MT. Riker declares.
 The withdrawal of the Labrador cur
 rent would stop the securing counter currents which have taken acres of land all along the coast from New Jersey south. A reconstruction of
 the coast line. he says, would follow and the land that has been eaten away by the conflicting currents would be built up again by an unhampered one. As for the effect of the inclination
 of the sun to the earth, the engineer says:
 Tt seems probable that the melting of the heavy icecap covering Greenland and ther lands bordering on the polar sea, with or without such withdrawal | of polar waters. would influence the in | clination of the northern hemisphere
 more directly to the sun by reason of 1 the greater weight of the antarctic 1 icecap at the south pole, and there fore greater centrifugal force or tend 1 ency of the the south pole to assume | the periphery in our solar orbit and l thus add materially to the heat of the

A HORSES PULLING POWER
DETERMINED BY GRADES
Dean Raymond of Iowa University
Brings Up New Question.

A totally new element has been
brought into the good roads question
by Dean William G.. Raymond, head
of the college of engineering of the
State university of Iowa. in an address
before the johnson county good roads
convention.
Although Dean Raymond is working
for permanent roads. he wants the
state to 20 in with its eyes open and
consider all the problems. This one
relates to grades.
with dirt roads" said Dean Ray
mond. the pulling power of Il team of
horses is limited more by the condi-
ton of the surface of the road than by
the steepness of the grades. But with
concrete. brick or macadam roads the
pulling power of horse on the level
is immensely increased. and it is the
grades which determine the size Of a
load that can be pulled. Consequently
in order to get the benefit Of perma-
nent roads it will be necessary to cut
down the grades.
1.-THE practical effect Is about as fol-
lows" says the dean:
"A team of horses can exert steadily
on a dirt road pull Of $50 pounds.
which is enough to pull load Of two
and one-half tons on the level. and the
team can pull the same load over short
hills of rise of from FIVE to eight
feet in the hundred by extra exertion.
But on concrete road the team
Of horses can pull load three or four
times as great on the level. When it
comes to a hills however. the team can
not pull this added load over the same
grade that it could travel over with
the lighter load on dirt roads,"
Dean Raymond figures that the max
imum load for level concrete roads can
only be pulled over per cent grade
that is. over a hill that rises two feet
In the hundred.
In his address he went into the cost
Of permanent roads. urging short time
bonds. and said he considered perma.
nent roads more Of an investment than
an expense. The $1,000 or $4,000 a
mile invested in a permanent road is
not loss. he said. The money Is spent,
but the community has the road, and
before the road is worn out it has its
value in use and in increased value Of
