PERMIT Will Soon Be Issued For the Proposed Ingalls Skyscraper. Ludwig Eid Agreed On as tne Arbitrator, And He Says Construction Witt-Concrete Is Feasible. Judge Worthington Raises a Legal Point. Which Wade Ellis Will Decide Conference in Mayor's Offlee. The building permit for the proposed Ingalls concrete skyscraper will be granted.

Of this there is no longer any doubt, but before it is done the detsll plsns of the building snd method of construction will have to be approved by an arbitrator or referee. This arbitrator is to be Ludwig Eld, sn architectural engineer and expert on ferroconcrete construction. He waa agreed on by lion. M. E.

Ingalls and Building Inspector Charles A. Tooker st a conference held In the Mayor's office yesterdsy, Mr. Kid afterwards stated to an Ei-qvisbr reporter. In reply to questions thst there Is no doubt In bis mind about the feasibility and safely of the proposed concrete skyscraper provided the plans are properly drawn and properly executed. Inspector Tooker has withheld the building permit for soms months, and last week he told the architect.

A. O. Eisner, that he hsd decided not to grant it, but suggested that the matter be submitted to ths Board of Reference, composed of Engineer Eld, Architect J. W. McLaughlin and Builder L.

Belmont. He staled that whlla he felt confident of the feasibility of such a building. If properly planned and constructed, still he felt that it was his duty officially and morally to take all possible precautions before permitting It to be erected. As the ferro-con-crete construction of a skyscraper is an entirely new departure In the building art he did not want to sssume the responsibility of such a mammoth experiment without the advlc and sanction of on or more disinterested experts. THS IXOALLl BUILDIWO.

The proposed building 1s to be 15 stories, and Its height is to be 20 feet. The foundations, supporting columns (23 In number), walls, beams, girders, floors and roof are all to be of ferro-concrete construction. There Is to be no Iron, stone, brtfck or wood used for the support of the immense struct ttire. It is to be located st the northeast corner of Fourth and Vine streets, having a frontage of 90 feet on Fourth and 100 feet on Vine. The foundations have about been completed, and It waa confidently expected that the building permit would be Issued when It was needed.

The refusal of thin permit led Mr. Ingalls to consult Judge William Worthington. Mr. Ingalls spoke to Deputy Mayor Charles J. Christie by telephone In regard to the matter, and Mr.

Chrietle arranged for a conference between Inspector Tooker snd Mr. Ingalls at noon In the Mayor's private office. The following other gentlemen were present Judge Worthington. Assistant Corporation Counsel Wade H. Ellis.

Mr. Eld. K. F. Osborn.

who la Mr. InraJts's representative In looking after the work on the building: Architect Eisner and Architectural Engineer H. N. Hooper, who has charg of the construction. Mr.

Tooker stated his position In the matter, making It clear that he Is not opposed to the ferro-concrete construction, but. on the contrary, has faith In kt. and believes It will be the coming building material. However, he did not want to assume the responsibility of authorising a concrete skyscraper without advice from experts. Judge Worthington presented a brief.

In which he contended thst the Building Inspector Is not reouJred and has no authority to psss on the durability of the construction or the probable safety of the proposed building, but that he must Issue a permit If th plans sre In accordance wMh the rules of recognised authorities snd the best engineering skill. He based this on the following clause In the city's building ordinance: TBS BDILDIKa ORDtBTAMCBV "Wells of steel, skeleton or other approved special construction, are not to be regulated by the thickness called for In the tables, but throughout such buildings shall eonstruoted In accordance wit the rules of recognised authorities and th best engineering practice." The brief waa turned over to Aaatstant Corporation Counsel Ellis, who will give a written eptnlon to Inspector Tooker aa to his duties In regard to Issuing th desired permit. Mr. Tooker said that even under Judge construction of th ordinance, feels that he ought to have the advice of a disinterested expert as to whether the plans are in accordance with the rule or recognised authorities and the beat engineering skill. Mr.

IngaJls agreed with Mr. Tooker oa this, and expressed his willingness to refer th matter to some authority on concrete This is exactly what Mr. Tooker. desired. and aa Mr.

Eid ia a recognised authority on the subject it waa agreed to let him pas on th plana Mr. Ingalls stated that It wa his desire to erect an everlasting monument to Cincinnati, her progress) and enterprise. He wanted to give this city something that existed nowhere else In th world, snd he felt posttlv he would accomplish this by building a concrete skyscraper. He bad consulted th best architectural engineers, and waa assured of Ita feasibility. In fact, upon looking Into the subject, he became assured that the ferro-concrete construction would completely revolutionise th building art, that It Is destined to.

take the place of steel, stone, brick and wood as the building material of the future. STSSX. XiSIf ATSJS SCASB-C 'He Intimated that great-steel Interests are beginning to realise this and that this might possibly account for the lack of harmony among architectural engineers as to the practicability and safety of concrete construction. It may be that some engineers are "knocking the new process by order of th steel magnates, as its general adoption would mean the loss bf millions to them. Mr.

Ingalls declared that he would not be willing to spend almost a million dollars on th proposed building unless he felt completely satisfied that It would be safe and lasting. He proposed to give it to Cincinnati as a monument, and it would be something ia which this city- would lead the world. Aa soon aa it la completed similar tall structures concrete will be erected ta all parta of th glob. Mr. Eid.

who ha a been chosen as referee on th question of approving the plans, was born la Rheinpfsfa. Bavaria, February 9, 1839. He waa educated ta Kaisers lantea and waa graduated from the poly techinal university at In 1880, He came to Cincinnati la 1883k and hss been mpkyed as a draughtsman and architectural engineer ever since, haa made a special study of concrete construction for 23 years, and several years ago visited Germany and France especially to become familiar with that kind of work.

Certain critic tern from members regarding th financial affairs of th Business Men's Club, as given In the annual report, just mailed, received official recognition yesterday. In one account Is chsrged up to "general expense, and a footnote explain that of this amount $3,700 was an expenditure not ancldontal to the operation of the club, but "waa for the honor and glory of The stationery, printing and postage accounts aggregated over $2,000, while the expenses of the club for the past year were $33 in excess of the receipts. BX-FBESIDENT PUCHTA Mr. George Puchta, whose term as President expired in September, said: "The $3,700 alluded to was expended for the purpose mentioned: that ia. the money waa not spent for the direct benefit of the organisation, but was for the good of the city.

As you know, the motto is 'Cincinnati first, last and all the time," and consequently whenever the organisation can do anything for its home town it 1 never overlooked. For instance about $000 wss expended to help to secure an extension of the Cincinnati Southern Railwsy lesse which csme up at the election lset year. Another Item included In the $3,700 was the sum of $100. which was subscribed to- the Symphony Orchestra fund snd still another sum was for seats to the May Musical Festival. Of course I cannot remember all of the Items but they can be ascertained by applying to the bookkeeper.

The whole thing resolves Itself Into this: If the club had not expended the money In the manner thst I hsve stated the general expense sccount would be $3,700 smaller but then wa would not have lived up to the objects of the dub If we had not assisted the projects which were of vital interest to the city. TKt STATlOWMIT ACCOCHT. "As regards the stationery account, sVc, there are but few members who have any conception of th money required for this purpose. If you take the one item of sending out notices to the 900 members it can be estimated that A neat sum ia aJon required for rbiaH Tha members who are kicking' will find all of the accounts item-lsd, and they can be referred to. will found that the officers endeavored to act with the best Judgment," Ex-President Puchta was asked what became of the seats that were purchased at th Musical Festival sal east spring, and replied: "I really do not remember, and all I can aay to that I did not get any of them." One or two of th member noticed In the balance sheet statement that th' unpaid tickets carried over to th new administration aggregated over $4,000.

but this Is easily explained, and only mean that this waa the amount da from miuheis far th preceding- month. An amount equal to this and often greater ta generally carried over from one month to another, and it does not by any mean ladleat that th unpaid ticket are dead accounts. However, the primed report 1 interesting throughout, and should he perused by the member. SURPRISE Caused in Militia Circles By the Unexpected Declination of Lieuten- -V ant Schledoro.

Aa the result of a desperate cutting affray which occurred yesterday morning about 10 o'clock ia the St. Charles Hotel, at $41 West Fifth street. Hugh O'Brien, aged 33, of 013 Elm street, is bsttUng for his life at th City Hospital.

A gaping wound la his neck, made by a knife, which reached the Jugular vein, is mute evidence of the viriousness and bioodfhirstines pf the attack which was made upon him while he ley upon a bed in a drunken stupor. Rufus Burgess, a former 'saloon keeper, who is known to be a desperate man. Is locked up at Central Station oa the charge of cutting to kill. The charge will probably be changed to one of murder before morning. Details of the struggle, which occurred In the room before O'Brien sank exhausted to the carpet, as gathered by the police, prove It to hsve been the result of a drunken debauch, in which both men participated.

Burgess's wife conducts a milk depot almost opposite the' Fourth District Police Station, on West Fifth street. A month ago he quit drinking and signed tbe pledge. His action waa caused by the death of his baby. Saturday night, however, his scruples were overcome snd he began to drink hesvlly. He shot craps st a resort on Fifth street and Sunday he continued hie spree.

He cannot account for his movements up to the time he met O'Brien, who wss sso drunk, early yesterday morning In the railroad yards on lower Park street. They had never seen each other before, but In their drunken condition they struck up sn acquaintance. O'Brien asked Burgess to put him to bed somewhere and Burgess agreed. O'saiBN CAM a ALOM8. It wa about 1 o'clock yesterday morning when O'Brien staggered Into the St.

About 0 o'clock Burgess appeared at Frank's cafe, 41S Central avenue, and purchased some whieky. He and O'Brien had previously visited the place, and Burgees said that his companion had sent htm for fhe liquor.

He returned to O'Brien's room, to which he gained entrance in the same mysterious way a before.
