NEW BUILDING
Four Story Structure
For North Front
Street
FINE ONE
FINE ONE
Store and Office Building Erected
on the McRee Site-Work Will
Likely Start Next Month.

1t will only be a matter of several
months before the eye will be greeted
by a handsome structure on Zach cor
ner of the intersection of Front and
Chestnut streets. Already three
fourths OF this glad sight Whining
tonians realize, for there is the mag
nificent postoffice structure on the
southeast, the handsome and imposing
Murchison National Bank building on
the northeast and the coy and attrac-
tive home of the Cape Fear Gu on
the northwest. so only the modest Nc
Rec residence, which has stood for
lore these many years on the southwest
corner, will ave to give way to make
complete this unit Of sight. so to
speak.
Such a transformation will shortly
take place, as a handsome four story
brick building is to be erected on the
site by Mr.. Matt ]. Heyer. This has been
definitely decided Upon and work on the
new structure VIII very likely COM
memo some time during the month Of
January.
The erection of this handsome building
Will add greatly to the up-to-date ap~
pearance of Front street and taken in
connection with the splendid build
ings in that vicinity will afford q
grand city sight and of which WI
mington should feel proud. All of this
speaks volumes for the continued prog
ress of the old City By the Sea-"
The building will have two large and
finely appointed stores on the ground
floor, and it is rumored that per
chance the Atlantic Trust and Banking
Company will use one of them as a
home. but nothing definite as to this
is known. The location of the new
building and its up-to-date owen
fences would certainly make an ideal
home for this banking company, which
within a cry short time has grown to
be one of the most substantial and en-
terprising in the state.
The rest of the building will be ar
ranged into modern offices, though one
floor maybe made into a large hall.
The plans for the building have not
been drawn as yet and consequently
none of the minor details have been
decided upon.
The confirmation of the sale of the
McRee property to Mr.. Heyer has al
ready been made by Colonel John D.
Taylor, clerk of the superior court, and
the necessary deed recorded; so now
Mr.. Heyer is in possession of the prop
erty, having paid SIS, 100 for that pos
| session. The site fronts on From
street &c feet and extends down Chest
nut is feet.

a thrilling experience. His home and
all it's effects were destroyed. About
n year ago he left Martinique with
his family and is now trying to reach
his home IN Montreal, Canada where
he thinks he can obtain a ~captaincy or
mate position on a vessel, which COM
mission he could not get on an Amer
lean ship as he is not q citizen of the
United States.
NJ. Larfand speaks English well and
presents a nice appearance. Accord
ing to his story ana papers in his
possession his claim is a truthful one.
He has an official paper signed by the
project of police of Port de France
as evidence of his identity and the
truthfulness of his statement, and a
paper signed by the French consul
at Birmingham, Ala, as an official
recognition.

HANNA AND ROOSEVELT
THESE TWO ARE ON THE BEST
OF TERMS.
A Conference al the White House. at
Which Many Important Matters
Were Discussed.

Washington, December 4.-Presi-
lent Roosevelt and Senator Hanna
had a conference of several hours
duration at the White House tonight.
at which the Panama canal situation
and important legislation to come be-
fore Congress was discussed, with in
cldental references to the case of Cen
eral Leonard Wood and the chair
manship of the Republican national
committee. Senator Hanna would say
nothing as to the conference. His
acceptance of the management of the
next Republican campaign will de-
pend on his health.
1t was announced hat the reports
recently circulated that there had
been or was likely to be a break in
the existing pleasant relations be-
tween the President and the Senator
amounted to a "preposterous absurd
ity." The President himself desires it
10 be understood that. hereafter. he
VIII not take occasion to refer 20
these reports or to dignity them with
any attention. 1t may be said that
the relations between the two are
those of cordial and appreciative
friendship.
Mr.. Hanna took occasion tonight
TO discuss the present Panama canal
situation, especially it's diplomatic
phases, very fully with the President.
Their agreement on the subject was
absolute. Both, it can be said, are
confident that the position taken by
the administration will be approved
by the American people.
Senator Hanna while he declined to
discuss the conference said: All these
stories about wide differences between
the President and myself are absurd
