SOUTH SIDE AFFAIRS
New High School Building Is
Attracting Considerable
Attention.
OF PECULIAR U SHAPE

The new South Central school
building that is being rushed to COM
pletion on the old school lot t
Twenyt-hfth and M streets, opposite
engine house No. 5. is attracting at
tention. The peculiar u shape Of the
building is drawing compliments.
Everyone seems to want to know who
the designer Of the new shaped school
building is.
Superintendent OF Buildings Finlay-
son, the d signer, has spent much
time on the grounds directing the
construction work. A gam of about
twenyt-fvemen are at work and it
is hoped that the work will be com
pleted before the opening of the fall
school term, September |.
Assistant Superintendent of Build

WHITMAN YIELDS
ON BUDGET BILL
Sees New Light and Posi-
biIity of Fight with Legis-
Iature Vanishes.
rrrom . star cor,..Doua.u, Of III. Tribune

tFrom q Rtsr couesponisn, of The Iribuns
Albany, Feb. 25.-Governor Whit
mans budget bill, over which there was
so much turmoil at tho beginning Of
the legislative session, has been placed
in the discard. and the possibility of n
fight between the Governor and the
Legislature over its provisions has
vanished. Until few days ago vigor-
Gus declarations were forthcoming
from the Governors friends that If the
Legislature did not adopt his budget
bill untouched there would be trouble;
that the Governor was insistert and
that he was going to call the lawmakers
back in special session If his wishes
were not carried out.
Now all is changed. The Governor is
not quite so sure that his original bud
get bill is all that could be desired.
He has found merit in the suggest tlons
of Senator Brown, Senator Sage and
other Republican legislative leaders.
The result IL that budget bill framed
along lines agreed upon by the legisls-
tive leaders will be passed by the
Legislature and Governor Whitman will
sign 1t.
The Governors change of front il

for an investigation. The chief cause
Of complaint Is that the price OF cot
ton has not risen in accordance with
expectations, and the cotton represent
atives declare that the New YORK hN-
change has conspired TO bear the mar
ket
The resolution declares; The New
York Cotton Exchange has been manlp-
ulated so as TO depress the cotton mar
ket and prevent prices warranted oy
supply and demand. The exchange mas
depressed the price Of futures so as 10
keep il below the price Of cotton IN the
spot markets of the South. Such price
juggling and manipulation disclose
crooked dealing and unfair methods IN
influencing cotton prices, and by the
unfair manipulation of prices the eN.
change has dofrauded the producers or
cotton out Of millions of dollars on the
crop Of 1915.
"The belief exists among producers
Of cotton and others engaged IN the
cotton business that there is n bear
conspiracy among certain spectators
Of the New York Cotton Exchange to
depress and hold down the price of cot
ton"

U. S. EXPORTS BREAK RECORD
Higher Even Than In 1928, Gov
ernment Figures Show.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The favorable

record, 19l2'lS.
Imports last January reached SEA-
1872 .299, which is $50 100000 over Jan
ua-y a year ago. Customs receipts for

approximately Sl000,00O less than in
January. 1915. Nearly "a per cent Of
the imports were free Of duty, being
chiefly raw materials, and only In
small part manufactured European
goods.
The aggregate gold imports from
June. 80 to January 81 were s322,O38,-
$50, nine times the amount imported
in the same period the year before.

was founded in 1856 by Isaac Vail
Brokaw. Howard c. Brokaw. who sue,
ceeded his father as president, planned
the new structure and its fittings with
the view OF marked expansion IN
trade.
On June 2. 1744. in the time OF King
George II, the farm where the new
Brokaw Building stands to-day was
sold to Joseph Murray by Lieutenant
Governor James Delaney.
This farm. known as the Hermitage
was bought in 1857 by John Leake
Upon his death his niece, Martha
Leake Norton, held the Hermitage In
trust for her son until 1897. About
1885 the farm was divided into lots
and the six lots on which the Brokaw
Building stands changed ownership
several times until the year 1889. when
George Ross became the owner. lie
maintained a coal yard here until he
built the Rossmore Hotel in 1874. In
1901 the Rossmore Hotel became
known as the Saranac. Later the
building was remodelled and occupied
successfully ty the Caf6 de lOpera
and the Cafe de Paris.
With the general uptown movement
and the completion of the subway ex-
tension now under construction the old
Hermitage farm is destined 70 expert
ence another and greater era OF growth
and prosperity.
