Brand Whitlock, United States min

standing unofficial intimations that he
is not on the most friendly terms with

A REVIVAL IN BUILDING.
Prices of Material Low and Money
Plentiful, Reports Indicate.

From numerous reports received
from various widely separated sections
of the country 1t now appears that
confidence in the stability of economic
conditions is returning and as a conse-
quence building activity is increasing
with each succeeding month. says the
American Architect The improvement
is particularly noticeable in the middle
west, while New York has been slower
perhaps than any other section of the
country to resume normal building
operations. In New England greatly
improved prospects for revival of
building work on a large scale are re-
ported.
A general survey of the situation
leads inevitably to the conclusion that
this country is On the eve of verit-
able building boom: Prices of building
materials and supplies are. in genera |,
low. labor is abundant, money is plen-
tiful and to be had on favorable terms.
and the demand for buildings of sew
eral differing classes is becoming in
sistent. Under these conditions it
would seem to be the part of wisdom
to anticipate general movement by
beginning any contemplated improve
ment at once and thus avail of COM
bination of favorable conditions not
likely to be duplicated for years AL
have been noted and those owners who
needed the advice of their architects
during the early months of the present
year have had no reason for regretting
their action. But, after all, there are
but chosen few who seem to possess
an Inherent good fortune that enables
them to always buy at the low level
and dispose of their holdings at the
crest of the highest wave. To the
great bulk of investors the opportu-
mites now offered should prove sufi-
ciently alluring, and there is every
reason for expecting them to embrace
th>m promptly.

REALTY STORY WITH MORAL,
How Constructive Broker Renew
ed the Confidence of an Owner

From the Pittsburgh Post
Although giving no names, realty
broker furnishes a story which, he
says. all brokers should read and profit
thereby. The story is this: Not more
than year ago an investor purchased
a large apartment house, which prop
erty proved all but what the brokers
had represented. There were many de-
fects in this property. so many, in
fact. that the said investor had all
but made up his mind not only not to con-
tinue investing. as he set out to do,
but to sell the holdings which he had
already acquired. intending to hold
them for the revenue they would pro-
duce as interest upon the capital he
had placed in them.
The constructive broker stepped into
the breach and asked to be permitted
to set that delinquent property to
rights.
To do this. something around $4,000
was spent in vital and minor repairs
and alterations. After this work was
completed an entire new roster of
tenants was procured for the apart
ment. which today is showing a far
better income return than when the
property was purchased
This incident. eliminating as favor
ably as it did. not only prevented the
loading of the market with several
large properties generally regarded as
permanently out of the market, but
has renewed the confidence of their
owner in the value of city improved
real estate. thus preserving prom
Using prospect. for he is man of con-
siderable means and quite likely to
make further purchases, fully con-
vinced. as he now is. that the fault is
not of the real estate. but of its man
ayers.
Misrepresentation has killed off
great many embryonic transactions
Some of the misstating of the facts
concerning properties for sale are
willful, but. in the main, the il-ad-
visement of the prospective buyer is
due to carelessness and ignorance of
the actual conditions. a fault that
largely has its basis in the eagerness
of the broker to earn a commission.

Preston and other city officials are up in

mission. The mayor denounces the report
as scandalous and untrue, holding that
no such conditions as those depicted exist.
He brought the report officially to the at

meeting this week. There was a general
discussion of tie various features as de-
veloped by the commission, and the mem
bers of the board were unit in de-
nouncing the report. After the meeting
the mayor made the following statement ::
"Vice exists in all cities. but holding
up Baltimore in the light that the vice
does is unjustfiable, and it
is untrue. The commission was not
afraid to make an attack on the city,
but it was afraid to make attacks on

term "petromortis," or automobile gas

Where the Danger Lies.

The danger lies in failure of Ger
tain elements in gasoline to oxidize.
In any event there is quick suffu-
sion of violent gas that renders the
victim faint. Thus If the exhaust Of
an automobile continues. the result
is almost instant death.
THE st-mortem showings are those
of brain and lung congestion"
humphrey went to his garage last
night to get his automobile in which
he intended to deliver number of
Christmas gifts to poor families. An
hour later his body was found on the
floor of the garage, the engine of the
automobile was running and the small
room. filed with gas fumes.

Minority Report Submitted.

commission. submitted l. minority report.
in which he asserted that he did not be-
lieve as true many of the statements set
forth in the majority report. Regarding
statements made by paid investigators
from New York, Mr.. Gottlieb says:
Il believe them to be highly colored,
grossly exaggerated and frequently un-
truthful. Conditions in Baltimore were
probably less vile than in other cities of
its size. due in a measure to the action
of the authorities. and in this connection
feel that the police of Baltimore are
entitled to commendation, because it was
clearly shown that, unlike the revelations
in other cities, our policemen are free
from commercialized vice graft"

secretary Of the American Friends
Board Of Foreign Missions and the
editor Of the American, both Of whom
live near the college and know Of its
policies and existing conditions. Why
did they not publish these? The bulk
OF the Quaker professors at the in
stitution, who are actively engaged in
the organized work Of Friends. either
locally or In Indiana Yearly Meeting or
in the Five Years Meeting, testified
to their dissatisfaction with the
policies and methods Of the admins
tratjon. Prominent local Friends did
the same. s...
The letters Of Professors Chase and
Holmes were introduced ostensibly to
prove that the rumors that they left
on account of their treatment were
untrue. Their testimony, however,
does not prove that others have not
been driven away by such treatment,
and the board had positive testimony
Of at least three others that they had
been led to leave by such means.
Such letters cannot nullify the positive
verbal and written testimony that was
given them as to such unsatisfactory
dealings.
In the light Of these facts, the pub
lished statement will satisfy few who
were not already satisfied with con.
ditions at the college, nor will it re-
store confidence in the present admin

BOARDS ACTION
[ccntinued From Page one.l

was made continually to confine the
evidence to the written charges,
though the rules provided for a wider
inquiry. Present religious and moral
conditions were continually confused
with the policies OF the administra-
ton.
The finding Of the board If carefully
read, and the wording OF it was the
result of long discussion and careful
concessions, means, Not proven, but
he has promised to reform" Since
the lack of discipline in Bundy hall
was one Of the charges and faults in
the administrative methods were in
volved in another, the admission that
conditions are not satisfactory in these
particulars is an admission that some
thing was proved. As a matter Of
fact the finding was a compromise
Five members were convinced that the
charges were well grounded; but they
were at last induced for the supposed
welfare of the college to agree to the
compromise action, In the hope that
needed reforms could be quietly
brought about afterwards.
The published statement was pre-
pared by committee after the board
adjourned. The statement was made
after consultation with President
Kelly and is not even fair to the care
fully worded finding Of the board.
The letter of Prof. Chase has little
bearing on the issues raised, since he
was little interested in the religious
activities Of the college while here and
has been away for four years. The
questions of UNCONVENTIONAL policy
have arisen chiefly since the Five
Years Meeting three years ago. 1t is
odd that the committee chose to pub
lish two letters from former profess.
ors who were not Friends. The board
had before it letters from Prof R. L.
Sackett, Mr. and Mrs. William Furnas,
who were former employees of the COL
lege, and written statements from the
