Pot ter of Milwaukee, will Incorporate the In ternational Christian Institute, an Interde nominational organisation similar to one which haa been conduoted by Mr. Robel In Duluth for the last ten years, and buy the Iellooe hotel as a headquarters. The aim of the organisation aa given by Mr. Robel is "to reach and help people that are not In touch with other Christian agen cies and to make the work financially self sustaining." The l&lUal move under consideration ts the purchase of the Dellone hotel at a price of $00,000, to be used as headquarters for the organisation. Of this $10,UuO must be paid In cash January L Five persons have al ready given 13,000. Five thousand dollars will be needed to put the building In repair. Some of the details of the plan aa out lined by Mr. Robel are aa follows; L The department of missions, city work mgniiy meriings, special buuuuy services, Sunday schools, restaurants, tree readlna rooms, loiltfiiiKa, bafhs, day nurseries, kin dergartens, playgrounds, sewing and cook ing classes, mothers' conferences, -associated rharltlea. humane work, relief and employment Dureaus. 1 Hon; us- tor newsboys, worklna airls. orphan, and unfortunate women (the latter f raited according to aige and morul oimdi lun). All of the above with Industrial features. The department of education will embrace a school offering courses In English, pubUo speaking, stenography, accounting, com merce, trades, domeatlo science, muslo and Klbls training for lay workers In home and foreign fields. Sssae.ts Possible Gr.wlk, Mr. Robel says his present plans suggest possible growth In the various directions Indicated and hs believes It wise to so plan the organisation that It will eventually bring about in a natural manner a union Pt mauy reliaioua and charitable enter. prises. It Is not planned to attempt more at present than the free reading rooms. baths, lodgings, restaurants, gospel meet ings, associated charities, humane work and the school It Is the opinion of Mr. Robel that many of the features outlined can only be developed by years of effort. lis ssys, however, that they are more than mere possibilities, as intimations have al ready been received that bequests may be torthoomlng for some of the spectV Unas of wurl suggested. For the past ten years, until about ten months ago, when hs resigned. Mr. Robel was associated with the Bethel society of Duluth as general superintendent of the work cerriod on by that society.

Dr.- Honrr learned the nature of the work which has been carried on by Mr. Robel in Duluth and In vited hlra to visit Omaha, suggesting that he believed this would be a good field In which to build up such an organization, and that he thought It would receive the moral and financial support of almost all elassesi Dr. Henry's suggestion was that Mr. Robel come to Omaha and look the field over In connection with the Omaha city mission, of which he was president. Later an Invitation from the board of di rector of the mission was tendered Mr, Robel' and accepted. Mr Robel arriving- on August 29. After a survey of the field, had been made It was decided that all condi tions were favorable and that an attempt would be made to found- the organisation above outlined In this city. - Mr. Robel baa letters of commendation from O.

FIRE STILL UNDER DEBRIS 8aould6ring Emban Panned Into Plamei at Allai Bros. Rain. SALVAGE CREWS NOT THROUGH TOIL Three Weeks I lace Disaster ail In. snrnneo Adjnsters Aro Jnst Now Enabled to Start to Work. Three weeks and two day have elapsed since the big fire at Ninth and Jones streets, which wrecked the warehouse .of Allen Bros., wholesale grocers, and par tially destroyed the plant of the Facifla Storage company, and the mass of debris still being removed emits - considerable smoke. Occasionally this smouldering mass la fanned by ths wind Into a flaming pile and in places becomes heated almost to a white furnaoe degree. It Is then necessary to bring bose lines Into requisition. Fire men and police are constantly on ths ground. The wrecking crews are making ap preciable headway. Tons of salvage have been removed and piled on a vacant lot at Thirteenth and Howard - streets, , and equally as many tons of debris have been carted to the city dump on the river front Bear Jones street Allen Bros, have recovered from the ef fects of the disastrous fire, or In a meas ure, at least, have resumed business on, the old-time basis. Two storage rooms have been secured, the principal one being at the A ul tin an 4k Taylor Implement com pany's repository, across the street. Floor space also has been secured with the Bern Is Bag company, at Eleventh and Jackson streets, and Edgar Allen, presi dent, says that many dollars worth of goods, enroute ' at the time of the fire, have been stored out of the city. He Plane for Hew Plant Yet. Mr. Allen further announces that noth ing tangible In ths way of a new building la decided on. "We are waiting the action of the In surance adjusters," he said, "and think we will know something definite In a few days.

Nothing is learned of the future plans of the Padflo Btorage company, a repre sentative not being at the scene of the tire. t The Chicago Wrecking company has twenty-five men clearing away the debris and taking- out salvage from the Pacific company's warehouse and the work is prv-tressing- with all possible expedition.
