PRICE NOT SATISFACTORY.
Ninety Thousand Dollars Regarded as
Insufficient.

In regard to the announcement In The
Star that the committee Of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution had decided to
recommend as the site for the building to
be erected here by the society the property
at the northeast corner OF 17th and

says:
THE publication In The Evening Star of
Tuesday in effect that the corner of 18th
and streets, the Myer residence, had been
decided upon to be purchased by the
Daughters of the Revolution at a figure
named therein, is wholly without founda-
ton in fact.
1.-The property has not been soid nor are
there any conditions under which the own
ers of same would feel justified in dispos-
ing of the property at the erroneous figure
published"

Discuss Proposed AmItatton.

At the meeting of the Building Trades
Council Tuesday night a great deal Of the
time was taken up with the discussion Of a
proposition to affiliate with the National
Building Trades Council.
None OF the local trades organizations
have had afiliation with the national body
Tor two years, as the result Of a disagree
ment between the two factions of the local
organization, which resulted in the disrup-
ton Of the local council.
Following the disruption the two factions
formed organizations, each claiming to be
the legally constituted body Of the local
building trades.
Each faction maintained its organization
for some time, until finally one disbanded
for the purpose Of forming building
trades section within the Central Labor
Union
Some months ago the body which had
maintained its organization was invited
by the national body to affiliate with it.
The matter was taken up last night again
for consideration, and after some discus
sion favoring the suggestion it was re-
ferred to the several individual building
trades for action.

APOLIS THE MAN.
GEN. S|CKLEs WITHDREW
Report Of Pension Committee Re-
ferred to Council lof Ad-
ministration.

Cleveland, Sept. 13-Judge Eli
Torrance of Minneapolis was unani-
mously elected commander-in-chief Of
the G.. A. R. at today's session of the
annual convention. General Daniel
E. Sickles of New York withdrew
from the fight, leaving the field to
Stewart and Torrance. The western
man had been quietly gaining in
strength on his own personality since
the opening of the encampment. The
withdrawal of Sickles also threw a
heavy vote to Torrance, so that when
the balloting commenced, the latter
had a walk-away, the balloting stood
23O to ATS in favor Of Torrance when
Comrade Wagner, who had the Stew
art interests in hand, moved to make
Torrance's election unanimous.
The Lection of officers was the only
business before the convention today
all other business including the re
port of the pension committee having
been referred to the council Of ad
ministration.
The council of administration dis
posed of the report of the pension
committee by referring 10th the ma
;ority and minority reports to the
cOmmander-in-chief, and H. The com
mittee on pensions to be appointef
by him with instructions that at
suitable time, in the discretion of the
commander-in-chief, the whole sub
ject matter shall be brought to thu
attention of the president of thu
United States for his consideration
