SEVENTH STREET AS A CENTER.
One Merchant Who Has Great Conf
dence In It's Future.


Mr. Charles Baum, the proprietor Of the
well-k1own establishment on 9TH street be-
tween D and L is a firm believer in not
only the present greatness of eth street as
a business center. but equally as well in
its future greatness as a trade thorough
fare.
Said Mr.. Baum to a Star reporter today:
II have now been in business on 9TH street
for more than twenty-six years. and / am
today as firm a believer in il as ever was
before. 1 know that many believe that the
center of trade is moving away from the
street. but 1 am not one Of those persons.
Why, sir, 9Th street is the very center of
what may very properly be termed the pop
ular trade, and what is more, it will always
remain so.
''Of course" continued Mr.. Baum. II am
aware that much progress has been made
in building up street by the erection of
numerous business houses, but that was
really required by the advance in the pop
ulation of the District. and not because of
any falling eff in the business done on 1th
street. 1 am aware. too, that the owners
OF 7th street property should do much more
than they have done in the matter of i'm
proving the street by the erection of more
modern and commodious buildings, but that
only strengthens my assertion that not
withstanding such inactivity, 1th street
more than holds its own. / am confident,
however. that real estate owners and 9TH
ers on eth street will soon realize the abso-
lutte necessity of erecting better accommo-
dations for the trade on the street II, in
deed, they have not already done so, and
before long I expect to see quite a gen.
eral improvement along the street"
Speaking of his own business affairs, Mr..
Baum stated that he could not complain of
the present financial stringency to any great
extent. He was doing a very good holiday
business. and had enjoyed good fall trade.
That business would rapidly increase. he
had every reason to expect, and he believe
that in a comparatively short time the hard
times would be matter OF the past
Mr.. Baum Is quite proud of the fact that
he Is a veteran of the late war; and his q.
A. r. button is no less proudly worn. He
came here after term Of service in the
army, and about thirty years ago started
In business on Louisiana avenue between
9th and It'll streets. manufacturing hoop
skirts and like goods. He has been on 7th
street for the past twenty-six years. and

known for fair and honorable dealing

wrote the Secretary of the Navy regarding
1t, but received no reply. When Congress
met in August ne called at the Navy De-
rartment on the matter. but found the
secretary away. He wrote again in Sep
TENDER, but received no answer to his COM
mrnication. A few days ago he received a
reply TO another communication. in which
the secretary said that he had filled the
place as Mr.. Strait had made no recon-
nIendation. On receiving this reply, and
learning that a person from Alabama had
