REINFORCE FLOORS
OF ny" DORMITORY

Faulty construction is blamed for
the present condition of the third and
fourth floors OF the Y. M. G. A. build
ing, which is now being reinforced to
prevent serious damage being done TO
the building. It has been discovered
that the third and fourth floors, on
which the dormitories are located,
have been sagging. An investigation
proved that the cross beams had sag.
ged two inches from their original po-
sition.
Engineer John Mueller said today
that an investigation had shown that
there was a pressure OF 5000 pounds
per linear foot on the beams on tho
second floor. The beams are made of
wood as there are no iron Orders hold
ing the upper floors.
An engineer from Indianapolis who
is employed by the state Y. NJ. G. A.
department, has been called in to make
further investigation. In the mean
time props have been placed under the
third floor, extending from the floor
CT the gymnasium room. 1t is esti.
mated that the cost will be approx.
mately $4,000. Steel Orders will prob.
ably have to be placed in the position
of the present wooden beams.

Love or tenderness turned back

she had been telephoning.

She offered no explanation OF Johns

It was Joha Hamiltons voice that
answered Isabel's inquiry-"What is
it?"
Sne recognized in an instant AIDE
ialde simmons strident tones. Hello,
my dear! the widow greeted her
Excuse me for calling you away from
the festivities for even moment
how giddy you are getting-flying
around to affairs without your hubby
Jonn is coming up here later" Isa-
bel said stiffly.
That's just what l called you up
about, Adelaide remarked Jack and
Henry Dennis have been here, as you
may know, helping me fix up for to-
morrow night, and they are not nearly
through yet-for l am going to have
an especially gorgeous affair-some-
thing that will surprise people. I shall
expect you, of course. Poor Jack is
already SO tired that he breads the
thought of going way down home to
get into his dress suit and then going
up to where you are He said as much
awhile ago. l offered then to call you
up and beg you to let him off, but he
said not to. Then I advised him to
call you up himself, but he said that
wouldn't do either, for he had prom
1sed to come for you You know he
tries to be dutiful about ouch things
But as it's getting so late, just took
matters into my own hands and called
you up myself. Won't you say he
needn't come for you tonight"
There ensued silence so prolonged
that Mrs. Simmons asked at last
Hello! have you cut us off, Central?"
NO, we are not cut off, Isabel told
her. Il was just thinking. You may
tell John that as he is so tired will
dispense with his escort tonight"
Walt! here he is now" Adelaide
announced. Hold the wire a minute
Jack, dear, your wife says for you not
to come up for her, for it's very late, -
she added so loudly that Isabel heard
every word. mo wonder you looked
relieved, poor fellow, you are too tired
to go anywhere. There, speak to your
wife yourself and say thank you, like
a good boy"
But before he could obey, Isabel
Hamilton hung up the receiver and
walked away from the instrument
She did not want to speak to John just
Eow.. She knew it was all a put-up
Job. He had never meant to come up
anyhow-Adelaide and he had ar
ranged that. Well, his wife could go
home alone! She felt so desperate
that she did not care what happened.
And only 10 minutes ago she had been
planning how she would tell John to-

ROBINSON DENIES
PLAN TO PURCHASE
CAAR-SC0TT PLANT

H. R. Robinson, vice president and
superintendent Of the Swayne-Robin-
son company, stated today that there
is no truth in the report being circu-
lated that negotiations have been
opened with Finley Mount, receiver for
the M. Rumely company, for the pur-
chase of any of the local property OF
the old Gaar-Scott company.
I'VE have not even thought Of max
ing a change from the present loca'
ton of our plant" said Mr.. Robinson.
Mr. Swayne has been dealing with
Mr.. Mount only as chairman of the
Commercial club committee and there
is no probability of our purchasing any
of the property"
1t is understood that the Swayne-
Robinson company is anticipating
making additions to the plant some
time in the future but Mr.. Robinson
declined to make a statement relative
to any Of the anticipated improve
ments.

RUSS0-JAP ALLIANCE
POSTPONED BY FALL
OF CzAR'S FORTRESSES

TOXIC, Aug. 6.-Plans for Russo
Japanese alliance are likely to re-
ceive decided setback as the result
of the fall OF Warsaw. Russians are
anxious to effect this alliance imme
diately, in the hope that japanese
troops may be sent to oppose the Ger
mans. But general sentiments are
opposed to the sending of any expedi-
tions at present.
Japan is ready to close an alliance
including the coast. Russia wants it
to cover all Asia. This caused the de-
lay of negotiations lately and the cab
met scandal brought about by the
bribery charge, caused further delay.
