LICENSE GRANTED.
Commissioners End a Controversy Re-
garding Pool Room.

After a careful consideration Of the mat
ter, the Commissioners have decided to
grant license for pool room at 1229 u
street southeast, where considerable protest
was at one time aroused. l.. Spectre of 1923
D street southeast and others Of the vicin-
ity wrote to the Commissioners, saying
they had no objection to the location Of the
proposed pool ROOM Lieut.. McCathran of
the fifth precinct, however, reported that
the applicant for the license is colored. and
that all the signers Of the petition favoring
the pool room are colored. Lieut.. McCath-
ran stated that Georgia McIlhaney of 2114
Connecticut avenue has made written
protest to the Commissioners, stating that
she has made plans for the erection Of two
apartment houses opposite 1929 d street
southeast. and that If the license for the
pool room is granted she will abandon the
proposed Improvement. The lieutenant
stated that the neighborhood is being i'm
proved by the erection of a good class OF
residences. and some fourteen of the white
housekeepers object to the establishment Of
a pool room in the vicinity.
When this report came before Major Syl-
VeSter. the superintendent OF police, he d.
rected Capt Isaac Pearson of the depart
ment to make a careful personal inspection
of the neighborhood and to report the con-
diuons as he found them to exist. Captain
Pearson reported that he canVassed the
anu lIIe were
in saying they had no objection to the
tablshment of the pool room. The resi-
dents on 18th street. between G and u
streets, and on 18th street, between c and
ID streets. have objection to offer If the
business Is conducted in quiet manner
Major Sylvester again referred the mat
ter to Captain Pearson, asking If the per-
nit should be issued. and If it would be in
consistent with law and order to recon-
mend the same. In response to this query
Captain Pearson declared that he could see
no reason why the application should be re-
fused. In his opinion it would be consistent
with law and order to recommend the
granting Of the license. Major Sylvester
has now returned the papers to the Com
missoners. recommending the granting OF
the permit, and they have approved the
same.

REPAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Changes to Be Made During the Presi-
dents Absence

Despite the fact that the renovated White
House was turned over by the architect
and contractors long time ago. there are
to be a number of changes in the residence
of the President while he and his family
are away this summer These changes are
DUE it Is said to dissatisfaction with the
work or to the fact that something that
has been done does not suit those In charge.
The three big glass chandeliers hanging
in the east room are being taken to pieces
today and portions of them are to be ship
ped to the makers in New York. 1t Is
stated that the diameters of the chande.
liers are considered too large and are to De
reduced making the big ornaments smaller.
BY whose orders this is being done Is not
known. These chandeliers took the place
ot three imported cut-glass chandeliers that
hung in the east room for many years ana
which. some critics say are considered pref
tier and more ornamental than tne ne"
ones which cost over $1,000 each The old
chandeliers were sent to the Capitol, and
are in position in some room up there.
The wood work in the east room Is being
repainted, and while the workmen are en-
gagged in this and taking down the chande-
lierS the east room is closed to visitors
How long it will remain this way Is not
known. The reduction of the size OF the
chandeliers will be made in time for them
to be rehung in the fall.
Tomorrow or next day 4 squad of work.
men from New York is to begin work
cleaning the new stone floors of the public
portions of the White House. The stone
floors replaced all the other kinds that We're
in use in the old White House. In the old
vestbule pretty tiling was taken up and
the stone put in its place. For some reason
the stone in the floors was not properly
finished or treated and becomes dirty
that cleaning by the ordinary process is
out of the question. Jerry" Smith. the his
toric colored sweeper. cleaner and duster,
finds the stone beyond coping with when he
gets to work with his pail of soap suds and
his mop. The dirt will not come up in this
way and the workmen from New York are
to get to business with pumice and others
applications and will give the stone such a
securing that IL will look clean for a while
anyhow. The White House may be closed
while this work is in progress. the stone
is used for oors in the basement hallway
and in the vestibule and Railways Of the
first floor
1t is understood that the plumbing in the
Presidents offices will probably have to be
overhauled. y large part of the basement
was flooded Sunday during the heavy storm
The water from the sewer backed up
through the outlet pipes and put parts of
the basement in sorry plight for time,
causing the employees on duty pretty hard
work to dispose of the accumulation.

BISHOP ROCKER HERE.
Speaks of His Observations in the
Philippines.

Rev. DIR. +. Il. Rocker, former secretary
OF the apostolic legation in this city. and
recently consecrated bishop OF the diocese
Of Jaro, L. L.. has returned to this city.
having visited his home in Albany since he
left Rome June 26. He will remain here
about week. guest at the legation.
Speaking of the work of the four Amer
lean bishops in the Philippine Islands. Dr..
Rocker stated that he regarded them rs
worth 10000 soldiers in the pacification OF
the islands.
The policy" he said, will be one OF
paciiication. We will work. above al
things. for religion. to bring the people
back to Cod to save their faith to them.
The holy father is confident the problems
will all be worked out successfully. During
my interview with him he told me he had
every confidence in the American govern
ment. The general political questions are
matters In the hands of Mgr. Guidi and
Gov. Taft for solution in accordance with
the wishes of the United States government
and the Vatican. The American bishops
will have nothing to do with the politics of
the situation. Their work will be for re-
ligion. and the success of this work will be
of incalculable value in bringing about
peaceful conditions"

EIGHTKEN-KNoT BREEZE.
Two Shamrocks Stretch Their Sails Off
Sandy Hook.

NEW YORK. July 10 From steamer
Erin by De Forrest. .wireless)-There was
an eighteen-knot westerly wind at Sandy
Hook when at aim. Shamrock III left
the Horseshoe to run off shore for today 8
trial. Shamrock I soon followed, while the
Erin waited for gfests. The puffy wind
raising up the white caps on the bay.
promised a fine and fast trial for the new
boat under sbleno:d, racing conditions.
Running Off from Gedney's channel the
two racers got into a brush in which the
new boat got slightly the better of 1t.
After reaching Scotland lightship the
yachts were kept jockeying about while

lowered and the battens were removed.
The sail was again hoisted and both boats
started east northeast from Scotland light
ship on a broad reach under lower sails,
with Shamrock III leading by 100 yards.
No race is probable today. Shamrock III
gained about 200 yards on the reach to
Sandy Hook nghtship. The yachts then
headed back toward Scotland lightship
closely hauled, Shamrock III leading by 3OU
yards.
The trial ended at Scotland lightship

MANY SEE SECRETARY ROOT.
he is Non-Committal Regarding Re
port of His Retirement.

Secretary Root was at the War Depart
ment today after short visit to the Presi-
dent at Oyster Bay and was overrun with
visitors having business they wished dis
posed OF before leaving the city. Many i'm
portant army matters including a number
Of promotions and retirements. have been
determined upon and will be announced in
a few days.
Secretary Root Is decidedly non-committal
with respect to the revived report Of his
early retirement from the. cabinet and will
neither admit nor deny the truth of the re-
port. It's revival at this time is mainly due
to the appointment of Gen. Oliver of Albany
as assistant secretary of war in place of
Assistant Secretary Sanger, resigned. 1t
Is intimated that the appointment of Gen.
Oliver as assistantssecretary Is merely pre-
liminary to his ultimate elevation to the
secretaryship an Office for which he is
said to be we'll qualified.
1t has been known for some time that
upon the complexion of certain important
matters which Secretary Root has in hand
he intended to return to New York and re-
sumo the practice Of law. Just when this
might happen has been and is still very in
definite. Secretary Root will sail for Eng
land the last Of August to take his place
as chairman of the American commission In
the Alaska boundary case. 1t IS expected
that he will continue as Secretary of War
during the time he Is abroad In case the
affairs which have been under his special
charge, and in which he Is very much in
terested. are still unsettled when he re-
turns to this country. 1t is probable that he
will continue as Secretary of War.
There are many considerations which may
prolong his stay as a member of the cabi-
net until after the next session OF Congress
adjourns. The fact that he is familiar with
everything pertaining to Philippine affairs,
with the adminstra tion in Cuba and with
the management of all military matters
since the Spanish war. and as these sub
jects may be considered by the next Con-
10 soil hot
will remain as Secretary until the adjourn
ment.

sorrow which he and other officials Of the
university felt at their loss. DR.. Hunting
ton was looked upon as a father by thou
sands of Columbian students and grad
yates, he said, and there are probably today

and forbearance. DIR. Huntington was
