Is the opinion Of the Heights of Build
ings Committee of New York city
This body was appointed to act in an
advisory capacity to the Board Of Esti-
mate Committee which is considering
the regulation of height, grouping and
nlan of architecture of all buildings in
New York, and it's chairman Edward
NJ Bassett, formerly a public service
commissioner, made a report contend
ing that in many cases high structures
were operated at a loss. This has been
attributed to the fact that the size of
the larger buildings calls for expensive
ornamentation, and deterioration per
year ranges from to per cent of the
cost. Furthermore, the style of an
office building may become so anti
quated that the structure must be put
TO other uses, and a heavy loss is the
result

Bull Doc Causes Lawsuit.

Iowa City, Aug. 2.-Roland Yates, a
brick layer on the new Hotel Jeffer.
son, has brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the Clifton-Kelley Carni-
val company, because he was chewed
up by bulldog following an alterca-
ton with a clairvoyant and her hus-
band. Attachment was issued against
the merry-go-round, ferris wheel, tent
and costumes of the gaiety girls, and
the clairvoyant's tent. Yates got into
a dispute with the clairvoyant, who
called her husband, saying she had
been insulted. Yates licked the hus-
band and then the clairyoyant brought
on the heavy artillery, big bulldog,
which chewed Yates legs and arms
and took a piece out of one ear. The
plaintiff in the case is stranger here.
He came to work on hotel. The car
nival company claims that it does not
own the clairvoyant show, and should
not be made a party to the suit. The
case will come up in the September
term of court, and unless the carnival
can put up bond, it will have to re-
main here.

speech from assault on the Jail doors,

three hours after the rush toward the
Jail the town was quiet, but Sheriff
Russell swore in a number of depu-

night. Dyer was arrested by Sheriff
Russell on charge Of assault with

Considerable shooting accompanied
the demonstrations of the mob, but it

EWPEOPLEN CHARGE
]. B. McCurdy Retires From the
Undertaking Business.

| Oskaloosa has a new undertaking
firm today. Mr.. and Mrs. E. e. Eb'
bert, OF Cleveland, Ohio, take over
the stock and business of Mr.. J. B.
McCurdye Mr.. McCurdy remains with
them Indefinitely to introduce and as
sist them, but Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
will be at the head of the business.
| Mr.. Gilbert comes to the city under
the highest personal endorsement OF
men of wide experience. He has been
| in search of location wherein he
might enter business for himself and
the offering found at Oskaloosa ap-
pealed to him. Mr.. McCurdy has also
been looking for a man upon whom
he could depend in the transfer Of his
| business. Mr.. Ebbert has had an ex-
perience of twenty years in the bust
ness and is conversant with all
| its branches. He is assisted, when
and where occasion requires! as In
the cases of women and children, by
his wife, who cares for many little
details and duties that so frequently
fall to the lot of neighbors or friends
of bereaved family, g
Mr.. McCurdy laid down the active
management of his undertaking bust
ness upon the SEVENTEEN anniversary
of his birth, after an active business
career of over forty-three years con-
tinuous record in the furniture and
undertaking business. Mr.. McCurdy
was the oldest business man in town.
None of the houses or firms that
were doing business when Mr.. Nc
Curdy started upon his career, July
II, 1870, have remained in the race
with him. w. H. Barrickman and j.
B. McCurdy formed the partnership
of J. B. McCurdy & Co. and purchased
the furniture and undertaking bust
ness of Nelson d Nichols. In 1881
the firm erected the three-story brick
building for the accommodation of a
rapidly increasing and extending bust
ness. W. Fl. Barrickman died May s.
1898. ''s
Ralph McCurdy joined his father in
the business in 1900 and the firm en-
larged by renting the Bevan build
ing and adding a complete line of
house furnishings, stoves, etc.
The annex, the building forty feet
fronting on First street, by one hun
bred feet, wherein is located the I'M
dertaking business, stock rooms, ETC.,
was erected in 1905.
Mr.. McCurdy has laid away many
of the most prominent people of the
city and county and his records are,
in way, remarkable. He had in one
year almost $50 cases-245 to be ex-
act. He was widely known in state
and national funeral directors organ
izations, both of which have honored
him with official position. He was
instrumental in the organization of
the Sixth district association and
much of the work in district and state
bears the impress of his work and
his individuality.
While Mr.. McCurdy turns the more
active part of the undertaking busi-
ness over to a successor he will still
be connected with the business and
will assist Mr. HEbbert In whatever
way possible. Invoicing of the stock
is in progress today in which John T.
Gilmore is assisting, having accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert to Oska-
loosa for the purpose.
The furniture firm and business
will continue as at present, with
Ralph McCurdy in charge, only the
department going to the
new owners.
