ATLANTIC CITY, Nj, June 3D.
The possibility OF towering skyscrapers,
dwarfing even the soaring buildings OF
Manhattan, which thrust their spires
1000 feet above the pavement, appeared
yesterday in the revelation of a new
type OF concrete recently developed for
construction work. Structures of loo
stories or. more were predicted
The new building material, which was
discussed before the annual meeting OF
the American Society for Testing Ma
terials in a paper by F. f.. Richart and

faculty of the University of Illinois
runs, it was said, from 25 to IS per
cent lighter than the older mixtures of
concrete. Consequently, they pointed
out. In a building of given size the
weight Of concrete being less, the
strength and dimensions of the steel
structure designed to support 1t can be
materially reduced, resulting in an
enormous proportional saving of net
weight and decrease in foundation load.
The lesseniug Of dead weight and
load imposed by such buildings admits
Of the possibility of greatly increased
heights with acceptable safety factors

two-thirds ma jority on o second vote
and precipitated a spirited controversy
in the. international labor conference.

The British spokesman. Mr.. Emanuel
Shinwell, declared responsibility would
rest upon the German government,
which. he said. had swung over votes at
the last minute by reserving judgment
owing to the exclusion by the conven-
ton of all forms of overtime -"

OLD VAGRANCy LAW
AIDS WAR ON CRIME
Chicago Gains First Victory
With Conviction of EUR"
Summons.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November Ie. ~ Chicago
scored today its first victory in its fight
to nd the city of public enemies" by
means of an old vagrancy law.
The victory came with the conviction
late last night of James (Fur) Sam
mons, one of the original % hoodlums
named by the Chicago Crime Commits
sion as public enemies" He faced
sentence of six months on the county
jail rock pile and fine Of 500.
Sammons, who, according to prose-
cutors, has criminal career dating
back to 1899. was led away to a cell
in the detective bureau to await the
next move Of his counsel-a legal effort
for new trial. Judge Edgar A. Jonas
IN municipal Court said arguments on
their motion would be heard Novem-
Der 20.
Is Wanted in Baltimore.
Sammons was confronted with an.
other charge, that Of burglary and lar
ceny. made in connection with the
siphoning OF whisky from a warehouse
several years ago, for which he was
held under bonds Of $4,000. In addi-
ton, he is wanted in Baltimore on a
robbery complaint.

with view to the presidential election
in 1882. The progressive Republicans
say, in the words of Brookhart of Iowa,
that there has been a verdict of the
people" on this question.
The progressive Republicans and
some Democrats will press their pub
Incorporation bill. Their pressing will
consume time out of the short three
month session. The consuming OF time
will threaten passage of the appropria-
ton bills, and will thus bring prospect
of a special session. If the progressive
Republicans bill for public operation Is
resisted, they will then say that it Is
the resisters, and not they, who are
causing a special session. That will be,
in the strategy of political argumenta-
ton, fairly plausible passing Of the
buck" Much art will be practiced to
have the buck land in President Hoo
ver's lap. The progressive Republicans
will say, in effect, Let us pass our pub
Incorporation bill and there need be no
special session. Resist it and you will
be bringing a special session on your
own head"
Basis of Special Session Talk.
This is the real core of all the dis
cussion about a special session. 1t is
the real core of the question whether

and party cooperation. Looking for
ward to the presidential election Of
1882, the broad issue which may be
described, though only roughly, as
public ownership of electric utilities, Is
as certain to be a major issue as any
thing can be.
The public generally does not realize
the sensational quality of the victories
Won by candidates for Governor and
for other offices running on platforms
composed mainly of a critical attitude
toward public utilities. In Oregon, an
Independent third candidate for Cover
nor running on what may be described,
In so brief mention, as Endorsement Of
public ownership won sensationally. He
beat both the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates combined. The Re
publican candidate, who specifically
disapproved public ownership, ran third
In the preoccupation with inter-
preting the recent elections for their
bearing on prohibition, there has been
neglect and consequent ignorance of
their sensational bearing on public
ownership.
