APPLIES FOR INFORMATION.
DR.. Copeland Desires Permit to Store
an Oldsmobile

Dr. Edgar Copeland of 1895 n street
northwest has written the Commissioners
asking whether he will be permitted to
store oldsmobile on premises J07 c street
southeast He stated that he secured per
mission to cut the curbng in front Of these
premises for the purpose of constructing a
roadway through the side yard for the
passage of an automobile. He shes to DE
sure that there will be no objection to his
storag e OF the car on these premises.
Building Inspector Ashford has reported
that an examination has been made of the
shed in question and the same is located
on the rear of a back lot and within one
foot of brick stable and twenty feet from
the nearest brick dwelling. At present the
wooden shed covers ground area OF Isl
square feet and is thus f3f square feet in
excess of the amount allowed by the regu-
atoms for sheds within the fire limits. Mr..
Ashford understands that the gasoline to
be used for the vehicle is to be stored in a
pit in the yard. He has recommended that
before the gasoline tank is installed, that
all requirements of the regulations be COM
Piled with. and that the size of the shed be
reduced required by the regulations.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Program for the Meeting Which Will
Occur Tonight

At tonight's caucus of the republicans OF
the House Representative Babcock of Wis
consin will decline the suggestion of his
friends that he be made chairman of the
republican caucus. Mr.. Babcock appre
ciates keenly the honor which his col
leagues in the House would extend to him,
but he feels that the duties of the position
would be too onerous for him at this time.
Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio probably will be
the chairman of the caucus. There are no
candidates for the place in the sense of
seeking the office, but the friends of sew
eral members would like to compliment
them by proposing their nomination. Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa is talked of by some of
the westerners. and so is Mr.. Tawney of
Minnesota. Neither of these gentlemen.
however, probably would permit his friends
to antagonize Gen. Grosvenor.
During the afternoon it was intfmated
that Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio may not desire
to be chairman of the republican caucus,
and in that event it is said Representative
Hepburn of Iowa would be unanimously
chosen. Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota would
not be candidate.
1t was said late this afternoon that it was
pretty we'll decided that Gen. Grosvenor
would not take the craftsmanship of the re-
publican caucus. 1t was said that at the
meeting tonight Representative Babcock
would nominate Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa for
chairman of the caucus.
The program for this evening contem-
plates the nomination of Mr.. Cannon for
Speaker in a speech to be made by Mr..
Daizell of Pennsylvania. The nomination
will be seconded by those who were men,
toned as probable candidates for Spea ker
early in the fight
When the House meets next Monday and
Mr.. Cannon is elected Speaker he will be
sworn In by the oldest member of the House
In point of services. That duty will fall upon
Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania
but he may not be able to be present on ac-
count of illness. and in that event Repre-
sentative Hit of Illinois, Mr. Cannon's col
speaker.

REPRESENTATIVE BABcocK.
Cannot Talk Definitely in Regard to
District LEGISLATION

Representative Babcock of Wisconsin
chairman of the District committee of the
House, arrived in the city last night, hay
Ing come here direct from the west Mr.
Babcock has spent the morning getting
himself and his family settled in their
home at l b street northwest
When seen this afternoon by a represent
ative of The Star Mr. Bapcock declared he
had not had time to get in touch with the
situation in Washington, either as to local
or national affairs. and that it would be
some little time before he could speak in
diligently of proposed District legislation
Il have been IN Wisconsin all summer"
said Mr.. Babcock, "and have been largely
concerned in affairs there. SO it has been
impossible for me to keep posted on the
District of Columbia 1 do not know wheth-
err the District committee of the House will
be reorganized during the extra session or
not. for have not had a chance yet to
discuss the matter"
When Mr.. Babcock was asked as to what
action might be expected of Congress in
granting the free of the malls for Of
fetal business of the District Commission
ers he expressed surprise, as he had not
been informed of the action Of the post Of
flee authorities In ruling adversely to the
District when the matter was presented by
the Commissioners. The latter executive
officers of the District have drafted bill
to extend the use of the mails to the local
government.
Such privilege was never granted in
terms. and 1t was through custom that
the use of the malls was allowed with
out the payment of postage, the matter
having never been determined from
strictly legal standpoint.
While the District committee may not
be organized during the extra session.
there will be SUFFICIENT of the old commit
tee to handle anything important affect
ing the District of Columbia between
Monday next and the converting of the
regular session in December.

No Liquors or Beer to Be Sold in House
Restaurant.

The horrifying realization that the United
States Capitol is dry was brought home
to many members of the House today.
There was quite an assembling of demo-
Gratis and republicans around the House

on Mr.. Cannon and meeting old friends.
Sometimes in moment of enthusiasm the
suggestion would be made to go down to
the restaurant and take a drink. There
they were met by Landlord Coffin, who
sorrowfuly informed them that under the
legislation of the last Congress no liquors
or beer will be sold in the restaurant. Mr..
Coffin is determined to abide strictly by the
spirit of the law, we'll as the letter and

the rule will be followed throughout the
