not get money. but received Southern
Building Corporation stock. :,
What we want to know,
said Mr.. Prouty, during long line Of
questions. lis. what was paid for the
St. Matthews property"
Mr.. Baker said the amount was
$4,000.
Snowden Ashford, municipal archi-
tect. was then called and Mr.. Redfield
began an examination leading up to the
construction of the Southern building,
the valuation of which is one Of the
bones of contention in the present In
quiry. Mr.. Ashford gave a number OF
cubic foot costs of school buildings.
The Mckinley manual building, he SAID.
cost 221 cents per square foot and tne
additions there to 26 and 30 cents.
he testified, cost II cents per cubic foot,
and Western High School 1872 cents. The
new Normal school building, Mr.. Ash
ford said. cost 171s cents.
In discussing building costs, Mr.. Red
field, who is a manufacturer and bust
ness man, was in his element and he
and Mr. Ashford had quite an inter-
change of views regarding frame and
steel building, fireproof structures ana
building costs.
He Estimates Cost.
r,
oughly familiar with the building
operations on the Southern building,
but he estimated that 1t could be
constructed for % cents a cubic foot.
which would make the building cost
s6S2,4s0.
Have you ever examined t!:at
building closely" asked Mr.. Douglas,
on the cross-examination.

architect.
"Did you once figure the building as
worth $685., door, asked the attorney.
Mr.. Ashford said that perhaps he
the light shafts.
Congressman Redfield interposed to
ask If the Improvements made in the
building for the offices of the Com
merce Court might be considered as an
asset for the building, and the insur-
rance companies owning 1t. Mr.. Ash
ford did not so regard them, but
acknowledged he had given little
thought to the matter. Mr.. Dougles
suggested that the mahogany fittings
of the Commerce court. which .inciden-
tally. is soon to go out Of existence,
would be permanent fixtures.
Price of Fireproofng.
The municipal architect testified there
has been only 10 per cent advance in
the cost of fireproof buildings in the
past two or three years.
Mr.. Ashford then related a CONVERSE
ton he had had with Hope H. Darneille.
one of the appraisers of the building
when it was included in the now much
discussed report of the insurance NJ
perintendent.
Mr.. -Darneille asked me the value of
the building" said Mr.. Ashford. Il
told him had not been touch with the
matter and could not say. He did not
tell me why he wanted my opinion.
He told me the dimensions and 1 fig
ured roughly il would cost IS cents per
cubic foot, and would total about $780,

Mr.. Darneille took a memorandum of
the amount, said Mr.. Ashford, and
few days ago asked the witness IL he

Della Clarke in Introduce Me-

In Introduce Me-, the four
act comedy which Manager Null
len will present at Comus Thea
ire, Jan. II, the family troubles
of George Nichols, an unsuccess-
full author, are depicted in an
unusually interesting and clever
manner. The play was written
by Della Clarke, the clever au-
thor-actress, and she appears in
the star role of the cast of char
acters. The play is written with
a moral which is plainly appar-
ent to everyone, and the closest
attention of the audience is held
throughout the performance. 1t
is a play founded on real life, and
abounds in rich humor and heart
interest. After her husbands
failure, Mrs. Nichols assumes
the name of Frances Everton
and entirely unknown to hus-
band. writes a book, entitled,
Susan that meets with great
success. 1t is finally decided to
have the book dramatized by Mr..
Nichol. Mr.. and Mrs. Nichol
become estranged and it is not
until the night that the first per-
Torrance of the play is to be
given that they make up. There
are many strikingly comical in
stances brought about before the
reconciliation is affected. A num-
Der of we'll known people appear
in the cast of characters with
