FOR BNCbMP PHENl NEEDS
Selection to Be Made by
Medical Committee.
Available Places Under Consideration
Outdoor Service Being Planned by
Chairman Dr. Hickling.

Although no meeting of the medical
committee for the Grand Army encamp-
ment mas yet been called. the chairman.
Dr.. D. Percy Hickling. has been busy
for some time past in outlining the
work that will be expected Of IT,
The selection OF location for
the encampment hospital has been re-
ceiving much of his attention. and he
has several suitable buildings in view.
One of them is the large house on Fiji
teenth Street below Pennsylvania Ave-
nus, that was built by one Of the former
architects of the Treasury for his own
residence, but which is now the proper
~ Of Col Allison Nailor.
This building was used as a hospital
during the encampment ten years ago.
and is admirably suited for the purpose.
1t is understood that Colonel Nailor is
prepared 10 make satisfactory terms. and
do all in his power to assist the commit
tee in It's work.
The house is the most centrally locat-
ed OF all of those that are under consid-
Grafton. being but a short distance from
the Emergency Hospital, and probably
more suited for emergency worl; than
any Of the other buildings
Kenmore Hotel Available.
The cid Kenmore Hotel en- North Cap
itol Street, near the Capitol. is another
of shc buildings that DR.. Hicklng has
had presented to his notice. This house
has been in the public eye for years, and
in its time has housed some of the fore
mcst statesmen of the country.
Since the unfortunate tragedy of May
10 year ago. with which the name of
the house is inseparably linked, the
house has remained vacant, and is now
available for the use OF the medical
committee The house is in an excellent
state of preservation, is equipped with
an elevator and large reception hall.
and would make a most excellent hos
piTal building.
There has been, in fact, some talk re-
Gently OF securing the building for the
use of the Casualty Hospital and East
ern Dispensary. which is now located
on Delaware Avenue, about block
above.
The third building that DR.. Hickling
has in mind is the house formerly occu-
pied by DR.. Moore near the Turkish
bath establishment en- L Street, between
Ninth and Tenth Streets northwest. This
building is not so large as the others.
but Is centrally located. and it is
thought that 1t would be all that would
be required for the worl: In hand

but who may not be in condition to

tion this work when he made his com
mttee so large a one.
Mr.. Burkart's Work Ended.
The work of Mr.. Joseph A. Burkart.
as acting chairman of the finance com
mittee. was brought to a close last night
with most gratifying results to all con-
cerned. Mr.. Burkart has been indefa-
tigable in his efforts in behalf OF the
furd. and it is largely due to his untir-
ing energy that the fund has been grad
ually increased as it has.

who for the past three weeks
as Sotentate of Almas Temple has been
on the pilgrimage to San Francisco
with the Shriners, is expected back to-
