BEAUTIFUL WILL BE HEW $40,000 MURRAY THEATER Local Theatrical Magnate Receives Plans for the Play House and Work Will Be Started in Short Time.

WILL BE FIRE PROOF IN EVERY DEPARTMENT Structure Will Be One of Finest of Class in the State And Will Be Devoted Solely To Vaudeville Use. September 1 will see the opening of the Murray theater at Tenth and Main streets opposite the Westcott hotel, plans have been received from the architect's office and bids will be opened next week. It is expected to begin actual construction the moment , con tracts are awarded. Contracting 'firms of Chicago, Dayton, Cincinnati, New- J ark, O., and St. Louis have sent re- j quests to Manager O. G. Murray of the New Prillips theater asking that they be advised of the day when bids will be received and the day they will be opened. It is Manager Murrays plan to book nothing at all at the Murray theater outside of vaudeville and that to be of the best the prices of admission will permit. The proposed play house will remain of the popular variety and admissions in all probability will remain the same. The seating capacity, it is estimated will be about nine hundred chairs. The plans which are in the hands of Mr. Murray are a copy of those sent to the state department and there approved. Out of a possible fifty changes that are usually demanded in plans offered the state department, but two minor changes were called for in the delineations of the Murray theater. - "Fireproof" Is Big Idea. The proposed play house will be one of the most beautiful and pleasantly equipped structures of its sort in the state, rivaling those of the larger Hoosier cities, although being of a smaller dimensions. No city in the state of the class to which Richmond belongs will have a theater that will compare in detail with this new venture of O. G. Murray's. The structure is planned along the one dominant idea of having a structure as near fire proof as modern genius in construction can attain. For the past several years Mr. Murray has been contemplating the erec tion of a theater in accord with other beautiful public edifices of the Quaker city. It with this idea in view that the property at Tenth and Main streets was taken over and orders for drafting of plans for a $40,000 play house placed with Fred W. Elliott, architect of Columbus, O. Mr. Elliott has a country wide reputation as a conceiver of plans for theaters and has elaborated the ideas personified in some of most attractive playhouses in the country. General Plan of Theater. The general plan of the new building is: The first or ground floor will be devoted to the theater, beneath which will be a deep basement housing heating and lighting apparatus, and an elaborate system of dressing rooms for actors. The second floor back will be devoted to the balcony of the theater and the front to a set of business offices. The third floor back will be used for the gallery of the theater and the front will be occupied by two five room flats. Between the front and back parts of the building is a deep fire wall, which practically makes two buildings of one. As near as human genius can figure this wall, in case of fire, will stop any blaze originating in either the front or back from getting into the other part. In any event it is almost a practical certainty that the fire wall will check the blaze long enough to give occupants plenty of time to escape. Concrete Used Freely. Concrete will form an important part in t he construction of the building and it is planned to use as little timber as possible. The entire basement including the areaway will have a concrete floor. Bedford limestone will also be used promiscuously in the outer construction of the edifice. The front or Main street side of t he structure and the Tenth street side will be of pressed brick of a light gray tint. These bricks will be laid in dark chocolate mortar. The proscenium arch will of the best quality of cement. The roof of the theater will be composed of flexible cement roofing. Out of the roof will protrude the marquise and automatic ventilators, which although furnishing the theater with fresh air at all times will not cause any depression in the temperature. The vestibule to the theater will have a paneled steel r ceiling and the auditorium will have a background of steel ceiling. . Iron Cage for Machine. The moving picture machine booth which is so often the cause of fires in -theaters, will be as near fire proof as modern building conceptions can make It. The booth will be of galvanized Iron riveted to an iron frame work. The door to the booth is also of iron and is kept closed when not in use by automatic weights. The open ings In the front of the booth are to

be protected by sliding steel dampers. The auditorium, women's resting room, vestibules and theater lobby will be decorated in stucco. The exterior wood work, galvanized iron, steel and tin work will be painted in the several tones of gray. The paints to be used are to be ofthe fire fire proof variety, which is a comparatively late invention.

The Zambezi river, carrying a huge volume of water two miles in width, as it reaches the western borders of Rhodesia precipitates itself into a cavernous gorge and thus traverses the northera plains of the country. This great drop in the river has produced "the most beautiful gem of the earth's scenery," the Victoria falls. Al most twice as broad as Niagara and two and a half times as high, an im mense mass of water rolls over Its edge j lo precipitate itself in magnificent ! splendor 400 sheer feet into the narrow canyon below. Undeterred, the Rhodesian engineers, without detracting from the natural beauty of the surroundings, threw across the canyon a splendid 650 foot cantalever bridge and thus opened the M'ay to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to Cairo. This bridge, the greatest railway engineering triumph of Africa, deserves more than passing notice. It consists of a central span weighing approxi mately 1.000 tons, 500 feet in length and 30 feet wide. The steel work is of rolled steel weighing 490 pounds to the cubic foot The end posts of the bridge are over 100 feet long. The pull on the anchorage apparatus is about 400 tons The contract for the construction was l obtained by an English firm of bridge I builders the contract time fifty-five ' weeks. The work of erection was carried on from both banks, the material i being taken across the rver by means of an aerial electric railway. The elec trical conveyor of this cable way was capable of dealing with a ten ton load at a lifting speed of twenty feet per minute and a traversing speed of 300 feet a minute. An Initial difficulty in the construction of the bridge was the securing of a firm foundation, and owing to the crumbling nature of the bank a much greater quantity of concrete was neces sary than estimated. ? The construction was happily unat tended by accidents of a serious nature. though a few slight accidents to body work and the replacing from England of one piece of steel work, were recorded. In spite of these delays the bridge was linked up at 7 a. m. on April 1, 1905. or exactly forty-eight hours earlier than had been estimated a year be fore. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Percy Glrouard In Scribuer.

GREETED BY RED

FIRE, CHEERING AND FIREVV Ethusiastic and Non Partisan Welcome Extended Benjamin F.'Shively by His Fellow Townsmen. THOUSANDS FORMED THE ESCORT OF THE SENATOR When the Popular South Bend Man Arrived at His Home His Wife Rushed Into His Arms Amid Cheers. South Bend., Ind., Jan. 16. Ben jamin F. Shively, choice of the Demo cratic caucus of the Indiana legisla ture for United States senator, arriv ed in South Bend at 7:15 o'clock last night and was met at the Vandalia depot by a crowd of 5,000 people, who gave him one of the most enthusiastic ovations ever tent' ed a fellow towns man, who has been "given political honors, Shively's appearance on the platform of the car was greeted by deafening cheers, the flare of red lights and a display of fireworks. Because of the heavy wind that was sweeping over the city Mayor Fogarty, who had taken charge of the senator-to-be, did not allow him to make an address, but, headed by Eibel's band and the crowd, Mr. Shively was escorted to his residence in the north part of the city. Mrs. Shively was on the front porch to greet her husband, and she was quickly in his arms, While the great crowd cheered with renewed vigor as he kissed his helpmeet repeatedly. The children also greeted their father with loving embraces. Expresses Thanks Briefly. In response to the applause Mr. Shively thanked the thousands for the demonstration in his honor. "This testimonial." he said, "is worth more to me than any honor or fame that can come to me. I know not what the future holds for me but for that I care nothing so long as I can have the confidence and respect which you have shown me by your loyalty and generous support." The parade from the depot to the home was through streets brilliantly lighted by electricity, red Are, roman candles and fireworks. As the proces sion moved all was rapidly augmented and when Mr. Shively stepped from the carriage at his residence the streets in the vicinity were filled with not less than 10,000 persons, all anx ious to get a glimpse of their fellow townsman. Suspended in front of the residence was a huge electric sign, "Welcome," which had been hung by Mr. Stiively's relatives. The demonstration was entirely de void of politics, party lines being for gotten, Republican and Democrat marching side by side in the parade to and from the depot. As a tribute to Mr. Shively the St. Joseph County Bar Association, composed of nearly 100 lawyers, 'marched in the parade. At a meeting earlier in the day the association made preliminary arrangements for a reception in honor of Mr. Shively soon after the legislature ratifies the action of the caucus. Arrangements are also in progress for a public reception at the Elks' Temple. Accidents Narrowly Avoided. Two serious accidents were narrow ly , averted as the procession moved away from the depot. While several hundred persons were crossing the Lake Shore tracks an express train came rapidly from the west, but all succeeded In getting off the tracks without suffering injury. One man who tripped on the tracks was 'dragged to safety by two companions. The excitement proved too much for those in charge of a large automobile truck loaded with fireworks, and their carelessness in handling the roman candles set the auto on fire. The score and more of persons on the truck jumped and ran out of harm's way. The fireworks were destroyed and the truck slightly damaged. Tiaae For Wraalaf.

HIS RETIREMENT IS CONTEMPLATED BY THE SPEAKER Representative Jenkins. Chairman of Judiciary Committee, Said to Be Slated for Block and the Ax. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP HAS DISCREDITED HIM Fight of District of Columbia Taxpayers for Cheaper Gas Jeopardized by Cannon's Probable Move. By Guy W. Finney. Washington, Jan. 16. Matters are fast shaping toward the downfall of Representative John J. Jenkins as chairman of the judiciary commtitee of the house, one of the most import ant committee berths in the lower body of congress. If the Wisconsin lawmaker fails of reappointment when Speaker Cannon makes up his committee assignments for the sixtyfirst congress, it will be due to his decided views on the question of government ownership of public utilities. Since the opening of the present congress there have been frequent rumors of strong probability of Speaker Cannon naming some other lawyer than Mr. Jenkins to head the judiciary committee. These rumors, now given considerable credence, have broken out a fresh following the introduction by Representative Jenkins of a measure providing for the purchase by the federal government of the gas and electric light companies of Washington. The Jenkins measure carries the unmistakable label of "government ownership," and, moreover, it is the kind to incur the displeasure of the speaker and of the men who make up the governing body of the house. Marks Close of Fight The Jenkins measure is the culmination of a long and determined fight by the people of Washington, through their district commissioners, to obtain cheaper and better gas and electric light The price and quality of gas j sold in the . District of Columbia have 'been regulated by congress, but the contention of the people is that the ' present price is not only too high bu"t that tlie quality has become so Inferior as to endanger life and health. The recent deaths of three persons in a single family from the fumes of monoxide gas has served to make more acute the local gas situation. Will Not Appease "Czar." The fact that Mr. Jenkins has offered his bill in good faith and as a solution of the local gas troubles is not likely to appease' Speaker Cannon, whose opposition to all such radical legislation Is a matter of public record. Nor is this latest offering of Mr. Jenkins the kind to convince Uncle Joe of the wisdom of again naming the Wisconsin man o guide the judiciary committee. The speaker's memory, too, for previous legislative offerings may re-act to Mr. Jenkins disadvantage. He has only to consult the proceedings of a former congress to find that Mr. Jenkins introduced a bill providing for the purchase b the government of Certain valuable ' coal lands. This was following the great anthracite coal strike -in 1905. when the entire country was affected by a long standing dispute between the mine owners and their workmen. Mention of this, in - connection with the Jenkins bill to purchase the local Hghig i miiuaiiles. Is made to show that Mr. Jenkins has- not discarded his belief la government ownenhlp

Oj7itfhlMa.sy as the true solution of problems affecting the vital interests of the people. Career Noteworthy One. Speaker Cannon's decision to name another member to head the judiciary committee would in no sense reflect on Mr. Jenkins' ability as a lawyer. His career in congress has been a noteworthy one and he has won the admiration of the speaker and of the house in many ways. ' He probably would be shifted to another committee headship of importance,, though just what one has not been discussed as yet. . Before his election to congress. Representative Jenkins was a district judge in Wisconsin, and his record as such was an enviable one. It was for this reason largely that he won his present berth on the judiciary committee. In the event of Representative Jenk ins' retirement from the judiciary committee, it Is highly probable that Representative Alexander of New York, would succeed him as chair man. The New Yorker is next in line on this committee after Representa tive Parker, of New Jersey, whose chances of succeeding to Representative Jenkins shoes are admittedly not bright. In addition, the speaker is said to have a decided preference for Mr. Alexander, which to those under standing the workings of the house would mean his selection to the post in question.
