FORETON NAIL ANNEX.
The Committee Recommends That the Pro-
posal Of List 4 Lennon Ne Accepted.

WAsHISGToN, July ~. - The committee
which recently visited New York to arrange
for a foreign mail annex has recommended
that the proposal of List Il Lennon To erect
the building at the corner Of Morton and West
streets be accepted. 1t is proposed that a
two-story and basement building be erected
on plans which will admit of at least one large
floor, with as few distractions as possible. IL
Is especially desired that as much floor space
us possible shall be available. and for this reason
the building will be low and broad, instead Of
having a number " stories and constructed
after the manner OF modern ONCE buildings.
This ia the Tlan advocated by Postmaster Y an
Cott, who wants a new Post ONCE In New
York to cover two blocks OF ground and con-
fined to two floors. lie believes much more
work can be done In such a building than In
one constructed on the lines OF the present
New York Post ONCE. The experiment will
be made In the foreign mail annex on a small
scale.
The building IL to 10 erected by List 4 Lennon,
and the Department Is TO rent the structure
for ten years at GA 90 per year. IL will cover
Il. 900 square feet OF ground. A number of
sites were offered 10 the committee, but some
OF them were unavailable. IL was agreed that
the site at Morton and West streets was the
most suitable because Of it's convenience to
the steamship wharves. All foreign mail will
be handled in this annex. and the clerks who
now care .or this mail In the basement OF the
New York Post Once will be able to again
breathe fresh air,

business. The agreement OF the fight was that
Lester wAs to stay ten rounds TO get any of the
purse. and for every round over ten Cans was to
forfeit $50. and for every round under ten that
he failed to STAY Lester forfeited s2s. Lester
put up a good fight "a long AS 1t lasted. but
Cans va AT no time In any serious danger.
The c5iored boy playtd a waiting game
and put his blows where they counted
TIE most. Lester did not land a sinTls
effective blow. He rushed continually Y,
but Joe was far too clever, and his
blocking and foot work had the New Yorker

right-hand hook on the jaw sent Lester to the
floor, but he came back but little the worse for
wear. In the third round, in breaking from .

a rieht.hand swing split Testers ear.
The end came In the next round. Lester
rushed. and Cans planted a terrific right hand
blow In the stomach, Lester waveret and Cans
simply rained right and left on the stomach and
over the kidneys. which doubled him up like q
crab. and he went to the floor and was counted
