Savannah, Ga., April 10.—Much In
terest has been excited In Savannah by
the announcement that It Ja the pur
pose of the health and cemetery au
thorities to use again that portion of
Laurel Grove Cemetery where many
of the victims of yellow fever in H78
are buried. The Idea Is to enter bodies
on the plot upon the theory thst in
thirty years nothing remains of those
already buried there. The plan has
the sanction of Dr, W. F. Brunner
city health officer. This is one of the
.direct result of the complete sub
mission to the authorities of the mos
quito theory of yellow fever. Up to
about two years ago the very Idea
that a yellow fever patient could be
disinterred would have been hooted
down. Now Dr. Brunner says that
anybody wwj wants to disinter sny of
those buried \ In the strangers lot
which la to be used over again can
do no even If they did die of yellow
fever. The fact that the ground Is te
pefrbRsed has aroused more than or
dinary interest and there will prob
ably be some protest against It.

Savannah, Oa.. April "What Is

political questions that has Been

is supoprtlng ’ the present city and
county administration has endorsed
Col. J. H. Estlll’s candidacy at more
than one meeting but the Democratic
League has not made a move In that
direction. On the other hand there
has been talk about endorsing some
other candidate. There are some very

Western stockmen say that the
chief difficulty recently has been oa
the Wind River dlvlalon of the Yellow
atone reserve. Some of the livestock
companies In the region assert that
he wolves are Increasing so rapidly
hat the future welfare of the cattle
'ndustry Is in serious danger. Arnosg
the proposals that these conditions
have called forth are that a bounty be
offered for the festguqtlon of the
animals, and that the government pay
certalr amount tor eaco lion or
wolf'hide. The stockmen along the
northern boundary of the Glia reserve.
In New Mexico, snd In the Wichita,
In Oklahoma, have suffered almost as
severely. .
Now that the appeal from stockmen
on the reserve Is so vlgorlous the
government has Just sent sn expert
Into the Held to study the wolf prob
lem. The man selected for this work
is recognized authority on the game
and other wild animals of the coum
try. He Is Vernon Bslly. chief Held
naturalist of the Biological 8urvey.
The animals ' causing so much
trouble to stockmen are common In
their native habit, but are little known
to Easterners, who have not hunted
them. The wolf Is known In the West
ns the '.'timber” wolf. Though not
arge. It Is lowerful and quick. Not
only does It kill calves and yearlings
with ease but It attacks and over
comes full-grown cattle. When after
this larger prey It doea not go for
the-thfoat, as so many beasta do, but
fastnes Ua teeth In the museles of
the leg, hamstringing its victim- which
foils defenseless. But little of the
carcrss Is usually devoured by the
wolves. The “lion" Is, of course, the
cougar, and no true lion at all. Never
theless, It Is a large and powerful
beast, capable of playing havoc among
the catlle.
The wolves and cattle are not clas
sed In the West as game animals,
but are regarded as pests, and are
commonly termed “varmints.” Where-
ever they are plentiful a bounty Is of
fered to encourage their exttdrmlna-
tlon. Despite this,'they are still suffi
ciently numerous to work much harm.
It is particularly • noticeable that
there has been much complaint from
the Wichita reserve, which the Pres
ident bss set aside as a guns refuge.
The wolves and cougars the en
emies of the other wild snlmals, and
the speetsman who destrea to en
courage American sports and to pres
erve American game can be counted on
to aid la the work of hunting them
down.
It Is not Improbable that should
the present plans ot the Government
for the extermination of
mlnta” not prove satisfactory, and op-
portanlty may be given lovers of the
wild to try their fortune In the
bounty business In the country of
the wolf and cougar.

Vast Sum to ho Expended for 8(g
Buildings on Lower Broadway.
New York, April 11.—New York
promises to become the “Skyscraper-
opolls" pf the world. Plans have just
been completed for the erctloa of 16
oew. buildings on lower Broadway,
south of Fulton Street, none of which
will be less than twenty stories high.
One is to be thirty stories and an
other forty stories, or about 660 feet
above the street. Such a colossal
office buildings scheme is without a
parallel tn the history of the world.
Over 2,000,060 square feet—14
acres rentable property space will be
provided at a cost of 140,000,000, and
there is no doubt that It will all rent
successfully. Not only does the great
and rapid. Increase In population In
sure this but most of the Important
business concerns of the country hare
to maintain offices In^ cite city. The
greit financial corporations are also
beginning to find our'the advantages
of conducting various branches of thei
business In one great building.
Architects and builders say that there
are no unusual obstacles to be over-
come la the construction of 30 or 40-
story structures. The chief thing
that will Have to be guarded against
Is the danger of destruction by lire.
Much waa learned from the Baltimore
conflageratlon, and this dearly ac
quired knowledge will be used In the
conflagration, and fhlt dearly ac-
This great conflagration proved
that the only safe method of protect-
Ing from rust and buckling, as well us
making It absolutely secure against
lire, was lo encase the beams and col
umns In hollow tile bricks and to build
the floors and partitions of the same
light, sound-proof, damp-proof and ab
solutely unburnable material.
Everything will be done to make
these buildings safe, not only from
within but from without. Experience
has shown that no matter how fire
proof a building may be It Is not safe
from destruction ‘ If surrounded by
burnable buildings. But it Is In this
respect that New York stands pre-emi
nent. There are more apeclflcally
rated buildings of flreproof construe,
tlon here than in all the rest of the
country together. These new sky
scrapers will not only be safe In
themselves but wilt afford protection
to one another.
Much attention will he given to
architectural features. At the preient
time the skyline of lower Broadway
Is too ragged and irregular. Artists
sod architects say that the new build
ings will nil up the gape, thereby
greatly improving the appearance #f
the lower city.
