PUBLIC BUILDINGS
FOR WASHINGTON

tions personally interested in public
| the country, and also because the Dis
! trict has no delegate on the floor of the
! House who can command hearing.
Representative David II. Mercer, of Ne
! braska, chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, takes a
personal interest in local affairs, and he
said yesterday that the committee would
now get around to the bills authorizing
needed buildings for Washington. Most
OF the bills were favorably considered at
the last session OF Congress, and were re-
ported to the House, but unfortunately
were not reached on the calendar How
ever, Chairman Mercer says he looks for
better luck this time.
Agricultural Buildings.
Probably the first bill the committee
will consider will be the one introduced
by Chairman Mercer, providing for the
erection of building for the use and ac-
commodation OF the Department OF Agri-
culture. 1t is endorsed by the Secretary
of Agriculture. The bill authorizes and
directs the Secretary to cause suitable
and commodious fireproof building to be
erected on such portion of the grounds
of the Department of Agriculture, be-
longing to the United States, as he may
deem expedient, the building to be con-
structed in accordance with the approved
plans heretofore secured in pursuance
of the provisions of the Act of Congress
approved March 2, 1901 and he is hereby
authorized, after due advertisement for
proposals, to enter into contracts within
the limit of cost hereby flxed- and sub
ject to appropriations to be made by Con-
gress, for the erection of the building
complete including heating apparatus, ell
evators, and approaches. and the removal
OF the present building or buildings of
the Department of Agriculture on the
grounds.
The supervision of the construction of
the building shall be placed in charge
of an officer of the Government especially
qualified for the duty. to be appointed by
the Secretary Of Agriculture. subject to
the approval of the head of the depart
ment in which such officer is employed.
who shall receive for his additional ser
vices an increase of % per cent of his
present salary, such increase to be paid
out of the appropriation for the building
herein authorized.
The cost of the building is limited to
two million dollars. A handsome draw
ing of the proposed building now adorns
the walls of the committees room.
Other Bills Await Action.
Other bills that will be taken up in their
order provide for the purchase of square
1iS. which is bounded between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth and L and L Streets
northwest, for the purpose of erecting
thereon hall of records municipal
building, and a court Of justice building.
For the hall of records there are four or
five bills, each proposing a different site.
Several sites are also proposed for the
municipal building. 1t is Chairman Mer-
GERS intention to report the above bills at
an early day

company with Secretary Root. AS a rule
on Sunday afternoons the President fore
goes his horseback ride, and instead sets
out afoot for three or four mile jaunt
over the hills and country roads.
Senator Lodge is frequently his COM
panion. but several Sundays ago Senator
Lodge complained that the pace was
bit too fast for him. Secretary Root
seemed to stand 1t quite well yesterday,

tardinesS in the organization of his
forces. One thing in his favor was the
fact that he had secured the passage of
an act of Congress establishing an army
post at Des Moines. This move was re-
garded with general favor, and won him
many friends.
Secured Federal Building.
Early in the present session of Con-
gress Mr.. Hull introduced a bill provid-
ing fo- the erection of a new Federal
building at Des Moines, to cost s.. 900. 600.
This was another move which helped him
to victory at the primaries last week. The
result was feeling that Mr.. Hull was
the only person who could secure the
Federal building. and who could induce
the Government to complete the army
post.
The fight was so hot that Mr.. Hull was
obliged to leave Washington and return
to Des Moines to head his forces in per-
son. The advent there of Cap" Hull
raised the value of Hull stock several
points. The Prouty cause had corre-
spending drop.
week or SO ago the Prouty managers
began to zBas,--eharges that Representa-
tive Hull was guilty of unfair methods.
lhis accusation was looked upon by Mr.
nun coueagueS mere In the Iowa Con-
gressional delegation as an evidence of
weakness in the Prouty ranks, and as
early last week as Monday 1t was evil
dent to those "in the know" that Mr..
Hull would reap a victory
Believes in Philippines.
Representative Hull is a keen business
man and firm believer in the CONNER
cial future of the Philippines. He has,
during the last two or three years, ac-
quired large business interests there, and
the fight made against him was hinged
in part on the accusation that he was
using his position to forward his business
interests. This was. however, stoutly de-
MED.
Mr.. HulIs Philippine interests are as
yet embryonic. and his visit to the
archipelago last summer was quite as
much to investigate conditions of govern
ment, in which, as chairman of the Mill
tary Committee. he had great interest, as
to look after private affairs. Incidentally.
as result of the trip he contracted a
severe illness. and much of the active
work of the opposition organization was
done while he was confined to his bed.

and Postroads, and only two members
Messrs. Swanson CDem., Ga.) and Cromer

port. there is little or no doubt but that
the measure will be overwhelmingly de-
feated.
Not More Than Forty Votes.
In fact, if the bill receives more than
forty votes. it will be surprise to most
members of the House.
Already it has been discussed more
than any other measure which has come
before the House this session. 1t was
taken up as special order on last Mon
day and was under consideration every
day last week, occupying the major por-
tion of each days session.

the six floors Many, unable to help
themselves were carried to places of
safety by nurses. The corridors filled
with smoke rapidly and about half the
inmates were forced to come down the
fire escapes. The sanitarium stood on
a hill, and the water pressure was low,
