A MAMMOTH HOTEL,
Project for Construction of One in
This City.

Project for Construction of One in
This City.
Mr.. e. K. Somborn, the proprietor of
Chamberlins Hotel, told a Star reporter
this morning that the project was being
considered of erecting a large hotel build
ing in this city. He said that there were
row three building sites in view, but no
selection had been made, and no arrange
ments for the erection of the building had
been perfected. The money needed, he said,
would be forthcoming when required, and
1t was estimated that the ground and build
ing would involve an outlay of one million
dollars.
Mr.. Somborn added that Mr.. Eugene NJ.
Earle, who was quite an extensive owner of
hotel property in New York city and in
other places, was a prime mover IN this en-
terprise, and when the building was erected
the hotel would be conducted by himself,
MIR. Somborn. The idea was. he said to erect
here hotel building with about $50 rooms,
which would be like the Waldorf in New
York city, IN its appointments and facili-
ties. 1t would be designed for the class of
people, Mr.. Somborn said who liked Wash
ington as a winter resort and who were
willing to pay for first-cass hotel accom-
modations. During the summer months, he
said, the hotel would be closed.

TO AVOID DELAY,
Controller Eckels' Plan RegarLinR
the Chestnut Street Bank.

Regarding the plan of liquidation of the
Chestnut Street National Bank of Philadel-
phia, Mr.. Eckels, controller of the currency.
said today:
THAT there may be no delay in placing
the Chestnut Street National Bank in vol
untary iqui iation in case the creditors of
the bank accepted the plan proposed by the
committee having it in charge, 1 have in
structed Deputy Controller Coffin to at once
call meeting of the directors of the Chest
nut Street National Bank to pass the nee
essary resolution and issue notices to the
shareholders of the bank for a meeting to
vote to- go into voluntary liquidation. In
addition, have requested him to have the
directors obtain at once the signatures of
representatives holding two-thirds of the
STOCK, agreeing to vote for liquidation when
the matter is presented at the meeting to
be called. Having done this, have stated
that the controller would permit the bank
to go into voluntary liquidation after the
vote is had on evidence being furnished
That the creditors CT the bank have ac-
cepted the plan proposed by the committee
IN place of evidences of indebtedness from
the bank. BY having this arranged before
voting it will enable the public to under
stand that Immediately upon the consent
oeing obtained the bank will avoid the ap-
Flntment of receiver and the expense
and delay attendant upon a receivership
avoided. have studied the plan submitted
with care and am of the opinion that the
creditors of the bank. the trust company
and of Mr.. Singerly will be better cared for
than by any method which can be devised
in which all the assets represented by his
various interests are handled under differ
ent agencies. Such a division of response
h1i1ty and of assets would necessarily en-
tail disputes and result in expensive litiga-
t!cn as to the rights of this or that one in
the property interests represented by him.
1t would also jeopardize the value of the
asset which Is the most to be looked for
lor the payment of the obi gations due from
the institutions with which he was con-
rected and from himself. The importance
OF whatever action the creditors take being
quickly determined arises from the wisdom
OF not permitting any assets to be I'M
necessarily dssipated or any of the good
Will OF any valuable property in which Mr.
Slnserly is interested lost. The situation
is now in the hands of the creditors, and 1
elieve that in following the plan outlined
TIE end will fully justify their relying upon
the conservative management of those who
nave heretofore been successful in under
taking large financial Matters

CHIEF PARIS :. KEPT BUSY
Has Many Applications for Appointment to
Fire Department.
The New Men Needed for Companies
Appropriated for. by LAST Congress
The ESamifiations.

Chief Paris of the District fire depart
ment was kept busy today answering in
quiries made by applicants for appointment
in the department who called at his office
at the District building in response to the
notice published in The Star yesterday to
the effect that men were needed.
Congress several months ago appropri-
ated money for two new engine companies
one to be located in Anacostia and the
other On Sth street between D and E,
streets. The appropriation becomes avail
able the 1st Of the month, and although
the Anacostia house is just being rooted
and the 9Th street house will not be COM
pleted until spring, the Commissioners ap-
proved the recommendation of Chief Par
ris that the men provided for should be ap-
pointed the LIST of January, and then train
ed for their duties by being placed in eX-
listing companies until the two new houses
should be ready for occupancy. Twenty
men will, therefore, be appointed at that
time.
The Regulations.
The regulations Of the fire department
require that every applicant for appoint
ment therein shall be not less than TWEEN
ty-three nor more than thirty-ive years of
age; a resident of the District for not less
than two years next preceding his applica-
tiOl, Oh SOOU moral character, aDle 10 read
and write the English language inteli-
gently; not less than five feet eight inches
in height, and weighing not less than $50
pounds without his clothing. Every appli-
cant must also pass such an examination
before the board of surgeons as will show
that he is in robust health and sound ply
sically.
One Hundred Aspirants.
Not less than one hundred applicants for
appointment applied to Chief Paris today,
and those who passed such requirements
as entitled them. to an examination by the
beard Of surgeons were given application
blanks, which they were required to fill
out in their own handwriting and then
make affidavit as to the truthfulness of the
answers made by them. OF course, quite a
large number failed to get even that far
toward becoming a member of the depart
ment. Those who did were directed to ap-
pear at truck A house, North Capitol street
between 3 and c, for examination by the
board of surgeons at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. After appointment the men are
required to serve a probationary period Of
twelve months before the appointment il
made final.
