A discussion is raging in conference
and IN print among the architects OF
New York City as to the proper meth
oil safeguarding the invaluable records
paintings and books in the libraries

that OF Harvard, founded in 1883. was
DESTROYED in 1764. The library of
congress. for which Jefferson's library
was purchased to form the nucleus Of
a new collection, was destroyed again
in 1861.
The New York public library. in
which has been gathered New York's
most precious possessions. has many
wooden ceilings and shelves. The
Athenaeum library in Boston has been
described by Charles Francis Adams
as a fire-trap whose condition is NOR
ally criminal. A movement is on foot
to further safeguard the Washington
collection, civil war books and pamph.
lets, and the books presented by VII.
liam III of England to Kings, Chapel
in 1893, all contained in this inflam-
mable depository. step In the right
direction in Boston is the appoint
ment of Cass Gilbert as architect or
the new Technology buildings to be
erected over the Charles river.
There are 10000 libraries having
1000 volumes and over in the United
States today. Win recent importa-
lions our museums and art galleries
are becoming more and more valuable.
In addition to this the United ,ltates
goyernentment owns over $3.50, 900 900
worth of public buildings in which
are stored the national archives. At
ter elaborate tests carried on by the
geological survey the government has
made its large buildings safe from

Especial attention has been called
to this subject by the Morgan ccllec-
ton of paintings and art objects now
on exhibition at the Metropolitan mus
cum. J. P. Morgan is bringing his
art treasures which have been for
years on loan to the South Kensington
and other museums in London, and at
This house in Princes Gate, to this
country. The total value OF the whole
collection has been placed at $780,
100000, and the cost of removing it
will be $250,O00.

Kentucky Pooling
Statute Attacked.

The fate of tobacco pooling asso-
Citations as well as other farmers
organizations, organized to get bet
ter prices, will come before the
Supreme Court at Washington in
October, when an attack will be
made upon the constitutionality of
the Kentucky statute legalizing
tobacco pooling organizations. 1t
also is claimed to be in conflict
with the Sherman antitrust law.
The joint tobacco commission of
Congress, investigating the effect
of foreign governmental purchases
of American tobacco, is consider
ing proposal to recommend to
Virginia and Carolina tobacco
grove RS the formation of pooling
organizations similar to those in
Kentucky as the only method of
getting living price out of their
tobacco crop. Should the Supreme
Court annul the Kentucky statute,
the pooling idea might not be avail
able to the Virginia and Carolina
growers.
The exact status of tobacco pool
ing organizations has never been
before the Supreme Court. 1t is
said that the decision in the case
will apply equally to all farmers
alliances formed to get better
prices.

To prove that there was an agree

WASHINGTON. May %.

WASHINGTON. May %.
With both the President and Mrs.
Wilson taking an active part in the
movement to wipe out the alley
slums of Washington and build
model tenements for the very poor
people of the city. and bills before
both houses of Congress to convert
the alleys into parks, Washington
society has got the slum fever.
Following the round of the slums
made by Mrs. Wilson and party of
congressman in the White House
automobile last week. society women
are following her example, and the
presence of handsomely gowned
women and expensive limousjnes in
the poverty stricken alleys is a daily
sight enjoyed by the denizens of
these sections.
Mrs Wilson attended a meeting
yesterday at which society women
planned to build model tenements in
the suburbs for the poor and to put
parks and model laundries in the
alleys. The President sent letter to
the meeting expressing his sympathy
and interest. The meeting was held
III the Must ldSn1OndD1e restaurant IN
Washington 1t was reported that
about $4,000 has been subscribed to
the. fund for model tenements. The
proposition is to rent these tenements
at prices that will yield per cent.
on the subscriptions.
When the question of cleaning up
the alleys gets before the House it
may be suggested that, instead of
Congress spending tie money to turn
them into parks, the owners be
prosecuted for maintaining nuisances
In violation of the law, and required
to clean up the slums themselves.
Rents in Washington's alleys are the
highest in the city. Miserable novels
of three or four rooms rent for SO
and $12 month, and penalties are
imposed if rents are not paid by the
9TH of the month. Many of the novels
and dirty tenements complained of
are said to be owned by prominent
business and society men and women
of this city H. B. w.
