SUFFERED HEAVY LOSS.
Relief Proposed for Widow and Heirs
of Rear Admiral Wilkes.

A bill introduced in the Senate by Mr.
Morgan for the relief Of the widow and
heirs-at-law Of Rear Admiral Charles
Wilkes Of the navy has brought to light a
rare old photograph Of the house on North
Capitol street that was built and owned by
Washington and was recently an object of
special attention as the scene of the Ayres
tragedy. AS will be seen by the illustra-
ton the house in its early days was but
three stories high, surmounted by a gar
ret. The excavation along the line of North
Capitol street has been sufficient to permit
the placing Of two stories under the old
house, so that as the Kenmore is five sto-
ries and garret In height. 1t will be seen
that the house as originally built was on
almost identically the same plan as the
Ogle Tayloe house, now owned by former
Senator Cameron. on Lafayette square,
though Of course 1t was built many years
before the Tayloe house was constructed.
It's design was that of the best class of
houses in this city century ago.
This house was built by George Washing
ton in 1798. 1t was fifty-five feet front on
North Capitol street by forty-fve feet deep.
He never occupied it, though the house was
in his family for many years. In 1914 dur

the question Of 'good roads,
Mr.. Cochran's speech related to what he
termed the universal spread of trusts and
combines in this country. He declared that
corporation lobbies were republican IN re-
publican states and democratic in demo-
cratic states, and that although public SEN
timent demanded remedial legislation 1t
could not be obtained. The trusts. he said
contributed to both political parties and
tied their hands 1t was time, he Said for
some one to speak the truth, and he warned
the American people that no relief could be
hoped for until there was a complete d.

The point had been reached. he said, where
the Attorney General and even q member
of the Supreme Court had been chosen
from employees Of great corporations. The
greatest question before the country today,
he declared. was whether all the great In
dustries and all the transportation facili-
ties not only on land but on sea were to
be consolidated in the hands of few men.
Mr.. Cochran took occasion to assail the
Senate in this connection. It was q matter
of public notoriety. he said. that in some
states senatorshfps were bought and sold
just as produce was bought and sold In the

ing the war with England the house was
burned SO that only the walls were left
standing. In the partition suit between
the heirs of Washington the property was
decreed to be sold and Admiral Charles
Wilkes, who owned much of the adjoining
property in the square, purchased it, After
his purchase the street was cut down be-
tween six and seven feet, leaving thu prop
erty upon a bank. Senator Stephen A.
Douglass, 1t Is said, considered the cutting
down of this street great hardship to the
property holders, and in order to right them
he introduced bill in the Senate providing
for the extension of the Capitol grounds to
c street to take in the land in which the
heavy cutting had been made. Under the
board of public works of the District of CO.
lumbia another cutting down occurred,
making both changes of grade from seven
teen to twenty feet, so that 1t became nee
essary to underpin the property and two
stories were constructed under the three
story building. The owners lost the rent of
the property for three years.
1.-The loss was so great" 1t is claimed by
those who now want compensation for the
expense incurred. that the admiral lost
the entire property"
The bill appropriates $4,000 to the widow
and heirs of the admiral for these special
damages, together with interest on that
sum. If this bill should become a law 1t
would probably be used as precedent for
a large number Of bills Of the same nature,
as In some parts of the city the cutting by
the board Of public works was as deep as
twenty-five or thirty feet.
