TROUBLE OVER
FEDERAL SITE.
Old Fight Over Location Of Gov
vernmeut Building Again On,
PROTESTS SENT TO CAPITAL
Heopened Contest over the Matter
Way Imperll Legislation Bearing
Upon it.

II now appears that the old fight
over the Federal building site is again
on. u was supposed that when the
authorities at Washington designated
the Walker property as their choice
and forwarded TO Mr. Walker the sill
Yer dollar ensConced in a plush box,
that the matter was settled for all
time, but now the contrary appears.
Recent developments both here and In
Washington, have again opened the
fight which may prove to be a bitter
one. Some even express the grave
fears that the contest may become 50
warm that It will defeat the appropria-
ton Such calamity az that would

In explanation Of their reasons for

Cardinal Vaughan has issued a pas

largely responsible for the recent upris-

The cardinals letter Is supposed TO
be inspired by the vatican. He says;
while the social upheaval Of China
