The question whether the new federal
building, which it is proposed to erect in
Cmaha.is TO bo built of granite or some other
material will not be definitely decided until
Thursday. Senator Manderson called upon
Supervising Architect O'Rourke today, but
that official has been suddenly called out OF
the city upon business and he will not return
until Thursday. Senator Manderson is de-
termined that II it be possible the new build
ing shall be constructed of granite.
The supervising architect, while admitting
that granite structure would be far more
preferable than one built of any other ma
terial, does not see how with the existing
appropriation he can erect n granite build
ing. Mr.. O'I.ourkc is inclined to believe the
only solution of the vexod question is to re-
advertise for bids, the specifications calling
for cheaper material than granite. How
ever, until Senator Henderson and Mr..
OIlourke have another conference on the
question no steps will be taken by the super
vsing architect.
Quarters VIII Not BE Changed.
1t was stated at the War department to-
day that nothing would be settled in the
matter of the location of the military head
tary Lamont, who is now in Chicago. There
seems to be little doubt that the present
quarters in The BEE building Will be re-
tainCd. 1t is learned on high authority that
the quartcrmastcr general has recommended
that while the rental asked for the quarters
In THE BEE building is higher than some
other offers that have been made, that the
present location IS so much more desirable
because of the large amount of room and
other convenicnces, that the department
cannot Afford for the sake of economy TO go
elsewhere. There seems to be no doubt that
the army headquarters will remain in The
BEE building.
May Reorganze the Bank
1t is believed In the comptroer's Office
that arrangements may be perfected for the
resumption of the First National bank of
Cedar Falls. Propositions looking to this
end have been submitted by the stockholders
of the bank and rs the failure was honest
and as there is some indication of the solv-
ency of the institution, Mr.. Eckels has de-
cided not to appoint a receiver until ample
opportunity shall have been given to the
bank people TO reorganzc. Mr.. Eckels de-
mands that there shall be an addition to the
capital and that there shall be some change
in the management before he shall permit
the bank to resume business, but the latest
advices from the examiner Indicate that
vigorous efforts arc being made to insure
the acquisition of enough money to put the
bank in good shape and if these efforts are
successful there will be no rcccivership
