OF n difficulty in which were concerned
Senator Myers Of Montana and Con-
ductor Lamb. in charge Of one OF the
Senate elevators. Lamb Is recently
from North Carolina, and believes there
are some questions which cannot be
submitted to arbitration. This was one
OF the sort which. in the language OF
the state Department. was mot Jus
ticiable.'
Senator Myers was unknown to the
elevator conductor. and the result was
that when the Montana statesman got
into the conveyance he was Kept bob
bing around from one floor to another
while other Senators were hurried to
their destinations. 1t Is Senate rule
that a member Of the Senate has the
right Of way over all other forms OF
human freight.
Senator Myers used language to Lamb
that he resented. He stopped the ele-
vator between fioors. turned to the Sen
ator and said in substance:
This elevator goes no further until
YOU apologize or fight"
Exactly what happened Is not dis.
closed, but there was no fight, and
Lamb still runs the elevator.

Death Rate in Mine
Disasters Decreasing

The death rate from mine disasters
is falling off. This, according to Fred
erick w. Horton. mining engineer of
the Bureau of Mines. is due to the edu-
catonal work Of the bureau showing
the causes and effects of explosions.
Twenty-three hundred and sixty men
were killed in coal mines in the United
states last year out Of a total of 10000
employed. The death rate was 3.15 for
every l,ooo employed
The number of men killed is the
smallest since 1906. The death rate is
the lowest since 1899 while the amount
or coal mined was proportionately
greater, being in this respect the great
est on record.
The statistics show that with 10000
more miners employed in 1912 than in
1907, there were S37 less deaths in 1912.

Barracks in Alaska
Home for Prospectors

The Marine Barracks at Sitka. Alaska.
have been abandoned by the Navy De-
partment. The people of Alaska have
requested that they be turned over to
them to be used as a home for INDECENT
prospectors and old men who have spent
their years in Alaska and have met with
misfortune.
This request was made to Secretary
Lane, who took the matter up with the
Navy Department. He has today re-
ceived notification that the Navy De-
partment Is willing to have the bar
racks used as such a home, and Secre-
tary Lane has, therefore, designated
the governor Of Alaska to take charge
Of the property for the purpose.

The New Munsey Trust Company
and That Munsey Building
Some Rather Clarifying Remarks
By MIR. MUNSEY

considerably more per square foot than plot
half or quarter of its size. The time will come,
and not very many years hence, when this piece OF
ground will be worth $5OO,OOO.
Add to the cost of the building the increase
in the value of the land and the total would be
about 81 100000. The renting space in the
Munsey Building is now about two-thirds taken.
If the entire space were taken at present rates,
the building would earn nearly per cent net on
million and quarter of dollars, and would
earn on million dollars nearly 7H per cent net.
Big office buildings the country over, like
the Munsey Building and the best Washington
office buildings, average to earn about three or
possibly three and one-half per cent net-not
more.
A trust company would itself occupy space
worth, as prices 60, with light, heat and attend
ance, say $4,000, which is 5 per cent on
100000. But trust company brings business
to building-brngs many tenants to building,
and as it grows must have good deal of ad-
ditional space for itself and its subsidiary con-
Germs, feeders to the trust company.
building of the character of the Munsey
Building is, should say, worth to a trust COM
pany easily two to two-and-a-half per cent in
excess of its earnings, and over what it would be
worth to an individual owner, because of the
substantially and real visual strength it brings
to the trust company.
AS to the value of the Munsey Building that
will be determined by competent judges appointed
by, or satisfactory to, the banking department of
the United States Government This. valuation
will be fixed upon quite independent of myself
and the board of directors of The Munsey Trust
Company
The sum had fixed upon myself, as price
at which should be willing to sell the Munsey
Building to The Munsey Trust Company is one
million dollars. This is much less than it cost
me and is much less than it is worth. But as
very big owner in the trust company should
still be very big owner in the building. Thus
my net income from the building, my share in it,
by reason of the advantages it would have as
part of the big trust company, would be better
than through individual ownership as at present.
WHATEVER THE VALUATION is, HOW
EVER, | AM READY TO ACCEPT 1T. If
THE VALUATION is FIXED AT MORE
THAN A MILLION DOLLARS | WILL PUT
THE EXCESS AMOUNT IN AS SURPLUS
WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE COMPANY.
With the facts before you as herein stated
you will better understand the purposes and
plans of The Munsey Trust Company. 1t is
always better TO KNOW than to be misled
The Munsey Trust Company has crystallized
into fact. 1t is here, and will be on the job, in
the Munsey Building, and doing business within
the next few weeks-AND 1T WILL DO
BUSINESS, AND PLENTY OF 1T.
RANK A. MUNSEY.
The Washington times., 1913-04-24

THE MUNSEY TRUST COMPANY is
receiving some criticism from certain
sources because it is proposed to buy the
Munsey Building and make it part of
the assets of The Munsey Trust Company
The criticism, however, is not aimed at this
contemplated transaction on the merits of the
case, but because of the lack of any other pos
sible chance of attack. The criticism as matter
of fact, IS AIMED AT THE TRUST CON-
PANY ITSELF, the purpose being to kill it off
before it gets started doing business
Such determination might be helpful to certain
interests, but not necessarily helpful to the COM
munity as whole.
Let me say and say very frankly, 1T is MY
+ PURPOSE TO MAKE THE MUNSEY
BUILDING THE HOME OF THE MUNSEY
! TRUST COMPANY, AND 1T IS LIKEWISE
; MY PURPOSE TO HAVE THE MUNSEY
TRUST COMPANY OWN ITS OWN HOME
AND NOT BE HOMELESS TRAMP.
am quite ready, as man who knows some
thing of business and the science of business, to
stand for the idea that trust company big
financial institution should not only own its
own home, but that it should have something of
tangible nature to tie to-a rock of Gibraltar as
an anchorage.
The Munsey Building is great monument of
strength and honesty and common sense and real
property that cannot take wings over night and
disappear.
1T is HONEST BECAUSE 1T is WHAT
1T SEEMS TO BE. THERE is NO SHODDY
IN ITS CONSTRUCTION, NO SHAM OR
PRETENSE FOR EFFECT.
Its architect, the late Stanford White, was
doubtless the greatest genius of his profession.
White didn't know how to design or build
cheap building. His work was quality work and
quality is in every brick and stone in the Munsey
Building in every piece of steel and iron, in every
bit of marble and bronze and in its mosaic halls
and finish throughout
The Munsey Building was built by the Fuller
Company, and at a cost of close to sixty cents a
cubic foot-sixty cents, mind you, against thirty
or thrty-fve cents, the cost per cubic foot of
putting up fairly good office buildings, but not
buildings of real class or genuine in quality.
Moreover, the Munsey Building is as we'll
planned a building for bringing revenue and
giving maximum comfort to tenants as there is in
the world There are comparatively few office
buildings in New York even, that in every respect
equal the NulSey DuHoHlS Helc III WdSHHlStoll,
and very few that excel it.
The Munsey Building has cost me approxi-
matey million and a quarter of dollars
straight, hard cash. The land on which it rests,
70 by l5e feet running from street to alley, cost
me $125,OOO This land is now easily worth
$25O,O0O, and perhaps as much as 100000.
A plot of this size, one solid piece, is worth
