When Ground Work Is Done.
ON The FIRST FLOOR BY NOV. |
Then Concrete Work VIII Be
Pushed to Completion.
Retaining Walls to Hold Up
Sidewalks Completed.

Completion of five floors of the
new $500, 600 Hotel Kansan at Ninth
and Kansas avenue by Christmas is
the plan announced here today fol-
lowing q conference of contractors
and architects. All necessary steel for
the structure is now in transit and
work on the new building will be con-
tfnued thruout the winter. Present
working forces will be doubled after
November 1 and will be trebled after
the main floor concrete is run.
Bookings for the steel and concrete
nests" which will provide main sap
ports for the east wall of the new
hotel are being placed today. They
are built on piers sunk to bed rock.
Frames for all of the pillars from
basement to main floor will be in
place this week and concrete poured
before the first of the month. A total
of eighty piers will carry the weight
OF the states new hosiery which will
rise ten stories above the main floor
level All of the pier pits have been
built
In order to protect a narrow, weak
and wobbly brick wall of a lean-to
addition to structure north of the
new hotel, stone walls sunk to bed
rock are peing laid. This protection
of the adjoining wall is being provided
at the expense of the hotel company.
and will be completed in a couple of
days.
Establish Work Shop.
The Pratt-Thompson Construction
company has installed a saw mill and
carpenter shop on material yards at
Ninth and Quincy streets. A gang of
carpenters is now engaged in building
frames for the big concrete forms.
After the lobby and mezzanine floor
forms are poured, contractors will be
able to duplicate forms and speed up
construction.
Work on the building will be rushed
during the winter months. With an
open season concrete will be run with
out interruption until the structure is
completed. Hot concrete will be
dumped into the forms and protection
against freezing will be provided thru
use of coke burning salamanders.
Winter winds wiz be fought with tar
paulins which will be thrown around
each floor as completed.
Retaining Walls Done.
Scores of persons who visited the
new hotel site recently were misled by
appearance of the reinforced concrete
retaining walls. Many people believed
the hotel structure was to rest on
these walls. The retaining walls ex-
tend twelve feet beyond the building
line on both Kansas avenue and Ninth
street, and provide 1000 feet addi-
itonal floor space. The twelve inch
retaining walls will merely carry the
sidewalks and none of the building
weight.
Contractors believe they will be able
to complete pouring of concrete for
new floor of the hotel every ten
days or two weeks after work on the

BY CHARLOTTE MILLS.
New Brunswick. N. J.. Oct. 25.-I
do not understand Mrs. Hall and her
peculiar habits formed since my moth
er's body was found, murdered and
mutilated by some unknown person
or persons. She used to be so kind
and gentle to me before this terrible
tragedy. Yet. now she refuses even
to see me, altho 1 called at her house,
hungering for a word of understand
ing and sympathy from her.
I read note she sent to me and
my tears come. 1 cannot help but
cry. But her words do not agree with
her actions and I am puzzled and
panied. The note was short and was
sent after the bodies were found. 1t
said:
Dear Charlotte: Always remem-
Der what Mr.. Hall said in his talk

so little of the world. 1t is full of loss.

My mother, my dear mother, what
ever anyone may say about her, is
gone. I shall never see her again.
Yet, I am told to have faith and love,
while Mrs. Hall locks herself up in
her great silent house, refusing to see
anyone, to say anything, to help any
one at all who may be able to shed
some light upon this mystery, that
blasted both her life and mine.
Occasionally since that 1 note, I
receive indirect word from my former
Sunday school teacher who now acts
so strangely TO me and who is closeted
