DISTRICT SITUATION
Comprehensive Sugges.
tions Made by Mrs. Hell
mick and Others.

Seven recommendations toward

ing problem were made yesterday
in a report submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners by minority
members of the Commissioners

present sanitary laws and building
regulations, and with full powers
to better living conditions in the
alleys of the District.

ings, as Is consistent with safe
and serviceable construction.
.. Indl, In OtueT 10 increase tne
number OF skilled mechanics, build
ers and trade unions be urged to
encourage and develop the appren-
tice system along the lines proposed
by the New York Building Congress.
5. That requirements of the pres
ent regulations relating to the con-
version of dwelling into a three
story or four-story apartment build
Ing be modified to the limit of safe
construction and sanitary needs, as
set forth in the report of the SUBJ
committee on construction practises.
Urge Lumber standards.
6. That endorsement be given to
the efforts now being made by the
Department of Commerce to reduce

for lumber, and the furnishing of
lumber in multiples of one foot
lengths instead of two feet. as at
present.
7. That. as a means to reduce cost,
a larger use of tho documents and
services Of the Architects Small

Must Have Other Qualities.
As Miss Washington" has been
given a most prominent part in the
program and will be the center of
countless receptions and entertain
ments, it is only proper that she

short of royal.

arrives in Atlantic City on the even
ing of September 6 she will be met
at the station by the patronesses of
the pageant-social leaders of many
cities-and escorted to one of the
great beach-front hotels. noted
throughout the world for the luxury
of it's appointments. She will have
an ocean-fFont suite. At her serv-
ice will be every possible luxury.
Miss Washington" will be for
mally introduced to Atlantic City
the evening of her arrival. when she
will receive the patronesses of the
pageant at her hotel. She will be
literally deluged with invitations to
social functions for the evening,
from which she may make her own
selection.

their columns are clearing their
flanks until there is nothing beyond
them more dangerous than the sea.
The principal effort. however. was
directed against Limerick and the
irregulars ousted from there must
fall southwark with their next
stand probabl at Mallow.
While the irregulars hold the
greater number of buildings in
Limerick and are slightly superior in
numbers, their situation is caily
more precarious largely through
conditions created by themselves.
A relief train with Sod and an:mu-
milton left the irregulars' field head
quarters at Clonmel for Limerick,
but they found the line was blocked
at Bansha by their own men who
had blown up a bridge.
All the railroads and roads to
Limerick have been blocked by
scores of felled trees and destroyed
bridges, but a national column from
Nenagh is rapidly clearing one road
into Limerick, and in a few days it
will be open for reinforcements and
perhaps artillery necessary to clear
the irregulars from this stricken
city.
Limerick Is hungry. For two
weeks no food has entered, and but
for the presence of a large bacon
factory hundreds of others would
feel the pangs of starvation. Busi-
ness has been completely suspended.
the poor are without wages to buy
food, and there is almost none tc
sell them.
The hostilities are confined to
snip.ng, with the Nationals await

Police Fight Through
Los Angeles Crowds
With Prisoner.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July IS
Mrs. Clara Phillips. "the cave
woman" went to pieces today after
her arraignment on the charge of
murder, gave way to hysteria, cried
like a little girl afraid of the dark,
and called continually for her hus-
band.
1t was after she had been
smuggled back into the Jail, after
she had been taken to court and
read the indictment, charging her
with "wilfully. unlawfully, feloni-
ously, and with malice afore-
thought" beating Mrs. Alberta
Meadows to death with a 1O-cent
hammer.
Sheriff w. I. Traeger and others
fought to take her through dense
crowds which the police could not
manage. She smiled for them. But
the smilo was absent when they
entered court. There was a strained
look on her face. terror in her
eyes.
Husband Resssures Her.
Her husband. A. l.. Phillips, the
one for whom she killed, 1t is
charged, and the one who gave
her ur to the police. spoke reas-
suringly to her. Her attorneys
asked that the heating be continued
to Friday morning. and intimated
they might ask Cor a change OF
venue.
They eludcd the crowds going
back to the Jail. tSok Mrs. Phillips
in through a back door and locked
her in her cell--and she cried for
her husband.
Outside the crowds were mutter-
ing. Women were repeating They
ought to hang her"-"I hope they
hang her"-"She must be insane. no
sane woman would do such a ter
rible thing"
But DR.. Louis webber. alienist
employed by the State to examine
the woman's mental condition. re-
ported that he doesn't think she is
at all insane.
Crowds ate Funeral.
At the same time the relatives OF
Mrs. Alberta Meadows were attend
ing the last services of the church
over her body in the undertaking
rooms. There were mutteri n g
crowds outside the place-crowds
almost as big. as those about the jail
and the hall of records and cour,

THE FARMS AND RANGES
 Edited by
 Francis A. Chisholm County Agricultural Agent

phens, secretary of the state livestock sanitary board, declared is mislead- ing. The writer, he said, intended it to mean that there was no surplus of fat cattle in the state.
 Such a statement, MT. Stephens as- serted, might be misleading to the buying public who are, in the market for range cattle and feeders. While it is true, he said, that there is a scarcity of fat cattle in the state, there are plenty of range stock and feeders on the market. More than 50,000 head of such stock have been listed with the state livestock sanitary board as being for sale, and while quite large number have already been sold, the bulk of the cattle for sale in the state have not been yet contracted for.
 Yesterday Mir. Stephens received the following telegram from V. w.. Denver, of Tustin, California: At what prices can young range cows and one and two-year old steers of beef breeds be purchased in mixed lots, steers and cows with calves ?" MT. Stephens replied as follows: "Yearlings, S20; two-year-old, S27; cows, S25; better grades higher. Have several thousand head of all classes listed. Investigation necessary as there is a great difference in quality"
 This request on the market condi- tions in Arizona, MT. Stephens de- clared, is forerunner of the demand which will be made between now and the middle of June by buyers from other states for Arizona cattle.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET
 IS NOW ACTIVE AGAIN

Interest in the wool trade centt IS in the far west, where buyers repre- senting Boston wool houses are active again. Prominent among the events of the week in that section has been the taking ever of Jericho wools in Utah at 40 cents and the Gooding wools at Shoshone, Idaho, at 40 cents. The Jericho wools were put up at q sealed bid sale in February, but all bids were tuned down. The growers held out for 40 cents and have got that figure finally. Excitement is running high all over the west, ex- cept in Texas, where buying has not yet begun in earnest, though tie mo- hair clip has been taken over at high prices. The strong point in the pres ent situation in wool is that the Bos. ton market is bare of good fine wocls, and manufacturers have been forced to turn to the new domestic clip for further supplies. Tariff delay in Washington make it certain, wool men say, that no new legislation is pos sible for months to come. Manufac- turers have very serious problem on their hands where to get needed supplies of raw wool, pending the passage of the permanent tariff bill and the consequent release of the enormous weight of foreign wool in bond. London opened strong Tues day, 5 to 10 per cent up from the previous closing, and Australian mar kets continue firm. Americans are taking great interest in offerings in foreign markets, and are buying suit able wools. Worsted manufacturers are showing more interest, and both yarns and suitable wools are selling better. The scarcity of good wool has led to sudden sharp demand for tops, and heavy weight has recently changed hands in the Boston market. Worsted mills appear to be anticipat- ing future business, rather than hay ing it actually in hand.-Bradstreets Report.
