Cars are now run FROM CONGRESS Heights
to the business center of the city The
northern end of this line is now being OBJ
Grated as far south as 6 street.
The company has ordered 100 cars to be
ADDED to its present equipment. and they
will be of the same handsome appearance
as that of the other cars on this system
1t is expected soon as the mills can fur
nish the necessary iron for completing the
connections that cars will be run from
Rockville, Md: from Cabin John Md and
from Forest Glen. Md, intoi the business
center of the city, just as is now done from
Berwyn. Md.
Since the various properties have come
under the control of this COMPANY millions
of dollars have been expended in the work
of equipment, and the results are already
appreciated by the public, who will look
with interest upon the completion Of the
system.
What Mr.. Edison Says.
Mr.. John Joy Edison. in speaking to a
Star reporter today in regard to the accept
ance by himself and his Washington asso-
ciates of places in the directory of the rail-
road company, said that the various rail-
road properties had been purchased and
consolida ed with the announced purpose of
reconstructing them with the best modern
equipments and furnishing the maximum
accommodation to the public, expecting by
doing so they would realize satisfactory
earnings on their investment
The company up to this time, it seems to
me, has carried out this purpose by con-
structing the Anacostia, the Brightwood
the Tenleytown the latter to Rockville)
and the Great Falls roads. Now it seems
for the best interests of the people of the
District, well of the company, to have
the benefit of the counsel of local men in
the board of directors.
While these men might not have large
rnt haXr will 10
aid in the manner in which this position
was rendered myself as well as my asso-
ciates came in good faith. and we believe
it desirable for us to accept and serve

Assistant Secretary Taylor of the Treas
ury Department said this afternoon that
the treasury now has nothing to do with
the new post office building. 1T was
turned over long ago to the Post Office De-
partment, he said, land is in charge of
officials of that department. If the super
vising architects office is officially asked
for information as to the falling of part of
the skylisht We will give the Information
| think 1t is only fair. anyhow that it be
understood that the work which proved de-
fective was not done during this adm: mis-
tration Mr.. Taylor the supervising archi-
tect, and Mr.. kemper, the chief clerk say
the work which collapsed was done under
the last administration, and under the di-
rection of Mr.. Steward, the former superin-
tendent.
mo, We do not know whether there is
any more of the skylight or other portion
OF the building in danger of falling We
can ascertain that if We are asked to DO
So"
The main criticism of the present officials
OF the supervising architects office is thai
the work which fell was pronounced all
right by the supervising architects cfFce
which strongly defended it against the as
saults made by eX-Superntendent Steward
and others,

Many improvements Needed.

There are hundred small items of ex-
pense in the nature of improvements which
the post office officials have found abso-
lutely necessary to supply the deficiencies
of the contractors. Perhaps one of the
greatest causes of complaint is the almost
constant shaking of the upper stories of
the building. Every ten or fifteen minutes
there is a perceptible CULVER resembling an
earthquake shock, and shortly after the
building was occupied the clerks were very
much alarmed over this.
One of the officials of the department
speaking to a Star reporter today. said that
he had heard from experts that this shak-
ing was an evidence of the stability of the
building, but at times it was SreIt it re-
Sembled a trip on choppy sea. and on:c
he was made Seasick. He certainly would
prefer a building where there is no vibra-
ton.
Experts are at work now in the pa Sc
ment devising some scheme to exhaust the
intense heat there. and 1t is expected that
after some months of experiment all of the
defects of the building will be located and
remedied.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-01-16

Then the windows fit badly, and when
the wind is blowing there is a continual
shaking. The wood which was imperfectly
seasoned when fitted in, has shrunk to such
an extent that it has been necessary to put
weather strips on most of the windows;
and even now the clerks have to keep as
far away from them as possible when the
weather is at all cold. The reverse of this
is found in the basement, where 1t is so hot
that the men employed there find 1t almost
impossible to work. The temperature at
times rises to 100 degrees, and there has
been considerable sickness.
The falling of portion of the roof Sun
day has put the officials on the alert. and
the Secretary of the Treasury has been
asked in an official communication what, if
any, guarantee was given by the contractor
for the security of the roof. As the build
ing has been turned over to the Post Office
Department, it is thought that the treasury
officials will not bother their heads about
the improvement which must be made at
once to render the roof safe. Several leaks
have already developed, and the fall of the
big skylight frame makes it absolutely nee
essary for an expert to go over the entire
structure and render it safe. This accident
has spread CONSERVATION among the clerks
of the city post office, who work under a
big skylight, as anything falling from the
roof would seriously endanger their lives

FINDING MANY DEFECTS
Experimental Stage in the Post Office
Building.
Vibration So Great That an Oficial
Said He Was Once Made
Seasick.

The officials Of the Post Office Depart
ment are now going through the expert
mental stage. as it We're, with the new post
office building. Already many serious de-
fects have been found, and it will require
an expenditure of considerable amount
to render the building comfortable. 1t was
only during the past cold snap that the
automatic ventilators, for which the gov
eminent paid $1,000, ceased to work. with
the result that the clerks in nearly every
bureau We're almost frozen by the cold.
This experience was enough to satisfy the
officials with the ventilators. and the order
Immediately went forth from the chief
clerk to close them all. At an expense of
2j cents window uhere are many hum
dreds of windows in the buldingD, it will
not require very much figuring to make the
cost of this alone we'll in the hundreds of
dollars

RAILROAD VICTIM
MAY BE FRED BOEHL

Developments today have led to the
belief that the man killed in the Rock
Island yards Monday morning and
buried unidentified in the potters'
field yesterday was Fred Boehl. the
17-year-old son of John Boehl, of
Davenport.
The parents came to this city this
morning for a description of the re-
mains and are satisfied that they are
those of their son.
They say that he, in company with
another young man whose where
abouts are unknown, had been to Chi
cago and it is presumed was on his
way back at the time of the fatality.
The remains are being disinterred
this afternoon to make certain of their
identity.

The democrats of Rock Island have

with them in a demopstration next
Saturday night, in accordance with the
plans formulated by the executive
committee of the National Association
of Democratic clubs, to have gener-
al effort in the cause of democracy
made throughout the United States

launched at last nights meeting of
the Bryan and Stevenson Anti Imper-
ialistic club. The plans, which as

meeting.
The democrats of the First ward
