OF which lost all that was put into
1t. The first winter he lost 5000
sheep. One project that he announc-
ed to the eastern newspapers was that
OF growing $4,000 cabbages at Me-
dora for the early spring market.
He declared that they were to be
raised under glass and fortified with
the offal of his slaughterhouses. He
expected to sell them for great price
to big eastern hotels. He also
thought of raising other vegetables
and even fruit of various kinds un-

however, he did not put into execu-

Clashes With Roosevelt
The Maltese Cross and Elkhorn
ranches of Theodore Roosevelt were
not far from Medora, which was the
nearest postoffice, and the future
president was spending most of his
time then raising cattle in the bad
lands. The Marquis claimed some of
Roosevelt's range and a fight be-
tween cowboys of the two outfits
was narrowly avoided. Later. more
trouble arose over the same matter,
and the Marquis sent note to Roose-

and his wife Joined him there. He
built and equipped an expensive stage
line from Medora to Deadwood, which
In three months time was out of
business.
At last the enormous losses suf-
fered in his various enterprises reach
ed such q point that his father-in-
law. Baron Won Hoffman, refused to
advance more money, and within Q
few months the creditors of the Mar
Quis descended upon him and his
packing plant was closed. He re-
turned to France, but made occa-
sfonal trips to Medora until as late
as 1889, for he loved the wild coun-
try around there and the life of the
COW camps and roundups.
Wins Hearts Of Pirates
After leaving America, the Marquis
went to China, and ON his return to
Paris in the early SOS the papers car
ried story about wonderful island
in the orient that he had visited,
which, he declared, possessed WON
derful natural resources. The Mar
Quis said he had concession from
the Chinese government to develop
these resources. The Inhabitants Of
the island, the Marquis said, were
mostly pirates, but they were UNDER
paid pirates, receiving only some six
cents per diem, besides having to
work long hours. The Marquis aver
red that he won their devotion by
offering them eight cents a day IL
they would work for him. The Mar
quis appeared before the French
chamber of deputies and asked the
official sanction of the government
in operating under his concession.
One of the deputies rose and made
some uncomplimentary remarks con.
corning the Marquis and his plan,
whereupon De Mores promptly chal-
lenged him to duel to the death.
The challenge being accepted, the
deputy was slightly wounded by .
bullet in the arm and the honor Of
both was satisfied.
The Marquis later appeared In
print with scathing attack on the
Jews in the French army at the time
of the Dreyfus affair, in which he
Is said to have been deeply involved.
A Jewish officer of the name of
Meyer challenged him to fight duel
and the Marquis, who was one of the
finest swordsmen in Europe, ran him
through the lung and killed him.
Marquis Meets His End
The Marquis came to his death in
manner characteristic of him. He
became interested in the conquest Of
Morocco for France and started out
with an escort of Arabs to inspect
the interior of that country. Meet
ing a band of fierce and treacher-
Gus tribesmen, the Marquis confer
red with the leader about the route
he should take. He fell under the
Influence of this chief, and letting
his faithful Arabs go, placed himself
under the guidance of murderous
thieves. The next night the Marquis
and his little party were set upon
by their guides, and after a desper-
ate fight against overwhelming odds,
the Marquis and all but one or two
or his party we're killed.
The widow of the Marquis went
to Morocco and organized an expedi-
ton to capture the murderers, who
were later caught and hanged. These
men testified that the Marquis died
bravely, with his back to a rock.
He killed IL of his assailants with
his rifle and pistol, it was said.

The former estate of President James

Elberon. ", j.. where he died In Sep
tember. 1851. after being shot by Gui-
teau, has been sold to Gloss Crane,
brokers and operators, who will divide y
into residential plots. The once famous
Elberon Hotel was also included in the
transaction The house where the mar
tyr President died was damaged by fire
a short time ago and has since been torn
down.
Tho property measures 500 by $50
feet. The hotel and residence was built
by Il. L. Brown, for whom Elberon was
named. After President Garfield died
the property was purchased by Senator
James Smith of Newark. The latter sold
II to the Fidelity Trust Company OF
Newark, which has just disposed OF Il to
Gloss g. Crane. The price paid Is said TO
have been between $4,000 and $4,000.
The Garfield residence was occupied
by Edward =. Miller OF Cuba and this
city, between 1919 and 1920. and was
being repaired for his occupancy In the
fall OF 1920 when 1t was partially de-
stroyed by fire.
Although the season at Eiberor had
closed when President Garfield was
brought to his home there, the hotels re-
opened and patrons came fiocking back
because OF the intense heat In the cities

From an economic point of view II Is
perfectly apparent that the whole tend
ency of urban dwelling In the United
States Is toward multi family houses by
all classes of our citizens. The high cost
of land and high cost of administering
household utilities makes the use of
every element which will reduce the cost
OF living imperative. 1t Is for that reason
that the apartment house is the eco
nomic solution of urban residence. Dur

has been a very strong movement all

those compelled to reside in cities to
become their own landlords in apartment

the building. Leon N. Gillette OF the firm
Of Walker & Gillette, its architects, says:
MANY times we have been asked what
is the style OF the building, and every
time we try to explain that style is a
very intangible thing dealing with
masses, materials and details.
To Copy, Not to Design Well.
'For any one to attempt to design a
building in any one style means to copy
some work, done perhaps centuries ago.
and slavishly to copy is not to design
well. 1t is Immediately evident to any
one that a good building to live in
must have a good plan and convenient
arrangement of rooms. The walls
simply enclosed this plan and while one
has a certain amount of leeway. the
mass is largely determined by the plan.

a T NO. 1876 East sixty-seventh
N street. between Lexington and
Third avenues. a cooperative
apartment house has been built and
financed under what is known as the
Culver plan of 100 per cent. joint own
ership. which, in brief is as follows:
A corporation known as 1876 East
Sixty seventh Street, Inc, was formed
in which title to the. property vested
in it. The, stockholders are the oc-
cupants of the building. Thus tenant
owner has an interest in the entire
property and is entitled to ninety
five year lease on the apartment
which he selects. The lease, with his
stock, gives him virtual ownership OF
his apartment. Every apartment IN
the building is sold. No space to rent
is reserved, and, therefore, Specializing
in renting apartments and carrying
vacant ones is eliminated, as every
individual owner pays pro rata share
of the operating expenses Of the build
ing. 1t is a fixed annual sum and
precludes the right to make any as.
sessment.
Reducing apartment rents to just
what it would cost landlord to oper-
ate the building is precisely what is
achieved, and all landlords profits are
eliminated In other words. all that
an owner pays is exactly what 1T costs
to run the building. 1t Is a logical
fact that twenty five people can oper-
ate one building more cheaply than
they can operate twenty-five separate
dwellings. Joint ownership affords
home to a purchaser at less than 1t
can be maintained in any other way.
How Value IL Enhanced.
The building has been restricted as
to the character and financial respon-
sibility OF the tenant-owners. The
directors OF the corporation, elected
annually from among the stockholders
for a year, rass on all subleases and
resales. In that way the buildings
original standing is maintained. and

There are two aspects to the situa-
ton which would have a great IN
nuence In determining the future OF
cooperative enterprises for urban
community buildings. One would be
whether or not the majority OF future
developments would be along conser-
yative or quasi speculative lines. IL
the investing public should pursue the
