and said in very good Spanish:
Twill you please tell me where the
Gale Rincon is?''
The policeman looked haughtily at
the stranger and turned away.
The American tried again, with still
more courtesy:
would you be so extremely kind as
to very accommodatingly tell me where
the Gale Rincon is?'
To his astonishment the policeman
retorted:
you have no manners, sir!'
Needless to say, the American was
quite abashed, but he had to find the
Gale Rincon. SO he put the question
to Spanish youth who was standing
near. The youth answered very cor
daily and went some little distance to
direct the stranger properly. After the
American had thanked him he asked:
"Why did the policeman refuse to
answer me?"
Because replied the youth, when

was swept by fire Sunday afternoon,
may prevent the erection of hand

insisting that the damage to the
building is not sufficient to break

W. NJ. and George Mckenzie, the
owners. it was reported Monday, have
contemplated erecting a skyscraper
which would match the Gambler
Building across the street, but have
been blocked by leases.
1t was expected that the fire would
enable them to carry out their plan
at once. But most of the tenants
announced Monday they would en-

the old stands as soon as possible.

Though the interior of the building
was ruined the tenants consider that
the walls and main part of the struc-

are so attractive they will insist that
