LARGE ITALIAN COLONY
To Be Established in the Vicinity Of
Twining City.

It is stated that an italian colony, COM
posed Of about 800 laborers who are to be
employed on the proposed railroad tunnel,
is to be established in the vicinity of Twin
ing City. along the line of railroad between
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge and the
railroad bridge. According to reports there
are nearly 100 Of these foreigners already
In camp in that section and TOO more are
expected within q short time.
The residents in the vicinity of Twining
City are said to be displeased with the
prospect of such large colony Of strangers
in their midst
The attention Of Major Sylvester was
called to the matter today by Lieut. NC
Cathran and the outlook was fully dis
cussed. The Anaoostia police have been ap-
pealed to by some of the residents of the
county who fear depredations will be COM
mitted upon their property. 1t is stated as
likely that the attention of the District
Commissioners will be called to the mat
ter and that they will be asked to provide
additional police protection for that Sec
ton.
There are many italian laborers in the
camp at Garfield Park. It was thought
the entire force would occupy those quar-
ters. but there is not enough room for
them.

Complaint Made Regarding Service by
Resident Of Southeast Washington.

Resident Of Southeast Washington.
w. E. Grimes Of No. 18th street south
east has written to the Commissioners
stating that two weeks since he complained
to the health Office that the garbage at his
house had not been collected for ten days
and that on the following day 1t was re-
moved. and since that time. ten days ago.
1t has not again been removed, although al
ways accessible.
Warner Stutler, superintendent Of the
street cleaning department. has reported
that after investigation 1t appears that the
complainant's residence Is about half a
block distant from his nearest neighbor.
The contract provides for daily service in
the vicinity in question. The Washington
Fertilizer Company has stated its inspector
admitted that the complainant's statement
as to the service was we'll founded, and
says the neglect was due to the situation
of Mr. Grimes house and the fact that a
new driver was on the route. A further
statement to the effect that the service
given to residents in that vicinity was
otherwise satisfactory was also submitted
by the company's inspector. MF. Grimes
will hereafter have daily service.

Mr. Bell had been i'll for more than year
Bright's disease was the cause Of death.
He was forty-four years Of age. Mr.. Bell
leaves three daughters. Mary E.. Edith M.
and Bessie C. Bell, and a sister, Mrs. Dan
iel Wilkey of Pittsburg, Pa.
Mr. Bell had done everything possible
during the past year to regain his health.
He spent considerable time at various
health resorts. and had been under the
best medical treatment without securing
relief. A year ago his eyesight became
very much impaired. Since last Friday
night he had been unconscious. He had
wide circle of friends and was popular
with every one with whom he came in con-
tact.
Mr. Bell was born April 8. 1859. in Co
lumbia county, Pa. and removed with his
parents to Indiana, Indiana county. Pa,
when very young. He received common

the correspondent of the Pittsburg Leader.

left Washington several years ago to be-
come the editor of the Scranton (Pa.)

with the editorial department of the Phila-
delphia Press. But his inclination was for
national political work, and he did not re-
main long away from the capital.

ing by the standing committee Of Washing

OLD FEDERAL BUILDING
TO BE REMODELED
Supervising Architect Says 1t Will
Have Fine Interior Finish.

The old postoffice building, Fifth and
Wabasha streets, which has been va
cant for some time, but which is to be
remodeled and occupied by number
of the government officials now located
in the new building, is to have the very
finest interior finish, according to the
statements made yesterday by J. Knox
Taylor, of Washington, who is super
vising architect in charge of public
buildings, and who is in ST. Paul for
the purpose of preparing final plans for
the remodeling of the old federal build
ling.
The matter of remodeling the old
building has been the subject of much
controversy between Collector of Gus
toms Peterson and Collector of Internal
Revenue Won Baumbach and the au-
thorities at Washington, and it was the
object Of Mr.. Taylor in coming to ST.
Paul to settle these differences.
AT a meeting held for the purpose Of
discussing the plans for the proposed
ested were present, as were also Con-
gresham Stevens and Maj. Hoxie, in
charge of the government engineer
work at the present time.
Collector of Customs Peterson favored
an additional appropriation, but
was persuaded not to ask for 1t
as such action would only delay the
work. A few minor changes We're
agreed to between the officials, and
when Mr.. Taylor returns to Washing
ton and makes his report the contracts
for the work will be let

LOSES SIS AT POKER
Peter England Sues to Recover
His Money.

Peter England, who "bucked the
tiger in a Wabasha street gambling
house and lost $75, was unable to get
the return of his money by asking for
it, so he brought suit against the al
legged proprietors of the place in JUS
ice Hof's court yesterday.
The defendants to the suit brought
by England are Norbert Scheffhausen
and Dennis Chamberlain, it being al
legged that they are the proprietors of a
poker room in the rear of the saloon
conducted by Scheffhausen, at Eighth
and Wabasha streets. England says
he went into the poker game and lost
$50. He demanded the return of the
money and was refused, being told that
he had lost 1T fairly and that he would
have to stand the loss.
England also brought suit at the
same time against Joseph Brendel,
claiming that he lost $50 at poker in
BrendePs place, which is on the east
side Of Wabasha street, between Sew
enth and Eighth. England is not able
to tell the names of the parties who
were in the game with him except that
a man named Mike Flannery was in
the game in which the SIS was lost.
