LOCAL ARCHITECTS
FOR LOCAL BUILDINGS"
Inspector AShford'S Views Meet
With Approval.

Local architects for local buildings"
is the gist OF an Endorsement made to-
day by Snowden Ashford, Inspector of
Buildings for the District of Columbia.
and approved by the Commissioners.
The action was taken upon the request
Of G. A. Dessez. an architect, of New
York city, TO be allowed TO compete on
plans for public schools and other build
ings erected by the District government.
Mr.. Ashford says:
&C. 4. Dessez worked upon school
plans in this office for some time. and
is conversant with the best practices in
this line of work, but I believe that
plans for school buildings should be
prepared by local architects. not only on
account of personal interests. but TO
avoid the delays occasioned by dealing
with an outside architect
My experience eonvinces me that
where outside architects are employed
much work and all data necessary for
the preparation OF the plans must be
furnished through some one in the city
where the building is 20 be erected.
cannot, therefore. recommend the en-
ployment of any architect not a resident
of this city"
This ruling. bearing the approval of
Commissioner Macfarland, Captain New
conner. and Captain Harding, has beel
subjected 10 criticism by several public
spirited citizens. who believe that it
will necessarily limit the competition
in this class of work.

In commenting upon the telegram Mr.
Hitchcock said he would notify the
Commissioners that the investigation
they court will be made. and that ii will
be most thorough in its nature. He add
ed that a general investigation into In
dian Territory affairs has been in pro-
gress for some months. but that the spe-
cial investigation has been held up be-
cause of his anxiety to find the proper
man 10 do the work
Mr.. Hitchcock was asked whether or
not he has yet selected a man, but said
that he would not discuss the question.
He also refused to discuss the report
published this morning that W. E STAN
ley. the member of the Dawes commits
sion last appointed. has been found TO
be connected with the Tishomingo Trust
Company in the capacity of vice presi-
dent. director. and stOckholder. Mr.
Stanley was the only member of the
commission supposed to be free from
connections with the land companies and
the publication of the charge that he
plays such a prominent part in one of
them came as a great surprise.
News to Mr.. Jones.
Indian Commissioner Jones said this
morning there was nothing new in the
Investigations as far as his Office is con-
cerned. Mr.. Jones had been apprised OF
the alleged connections OF the members
OF the Dawes Commission with land
companies. and read with great interest
the charge that Commissioner Stanley
is in the same boat with the others. He
said that IL was news to him.

in Miller Case.

Commencing at O'Clock this after
noon all of the employees in the Govern
ment Printing Office are TO appear be-
fore notary in the building and take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States Owing to the number of per-
sons who are compelled to take the oath
the swearing in cannot be concluded in
less than three days. The order compell-
ing the employees to take the oath was
issued by Public Printer Palmer late
yesterday afternoon. and though no enc
will admit that such is the case, the be-
lief is general that the order was in
spired by President Roosevelt, who
asked Secretary Cortelyou TO suggest it
TO Public Printer Palmer
1t Is also said that the order is the
result Of the recent troubles over the
reinstatement of Assistant Foreman
Miller. All of the members of the book

oath of fealty to the union, but up to
the present time none of the employees.
except some of the important heads of
departments. have been compelled to
take an oath of office.
Now Sworn to Allegiance.
The condition thus established was that
the men were sworn TO obey the union
rules. but not those of the Government.
The order is intended TO establish the
fact that the laws of the Government are
superior 10 those of the unions
In speaking OF the order TO a reporter
for The Times this afternoon Public
Printer Palmer said:
I'VE will not begin to administer the
oath until after o'clock this afternoon,
because to begin before that time would
interfere with the work here. All en-
ployes are 10 be sworn. II has not been
the custom heretofore, because many Uf
the employees were OF the per diem
character. Now this is TO be changed
When asked about the significance of
the order, Mr.. Palmer was evasive. -
plying that il would improve the service.
He said there was no mystery about IL;
that there was nothing Interior in It.

Concerning the Miller case Mr. Palmer
said:

While the wind was too light for quick
