SUITABLE QUARTERS DESIRED.
Members Of the Civil Service Commis-
sion Want a Building.

q
One of the items that will be included in
the annual report of the civil service COM
missioners will be a recommendation for
the purchase of q site and the erection OF
building for the use of this important
branch of the government service. The
building at present occupied by the COM
mission Is inadequate, both as to size and
conveniences.
Since the organization Of the commission
it has lived in borrowed or rented quarters.
For several years it occupied quarters in
to the Concordia building, southeast corner
Of 9Th and E streets. When the Post Office
Department vacated the building at the
northwest corner of Sth and e streets the
civil service bureau was moved into thar.
This building has never been large enough
to accommodate the employees of the COM
mission and to provide rooms where ex-
aminations could be held. The examina-
tions are now being held in one of the
rooms in the Busch building on e street
between 7th and Sth streets. Several times
recommendations have been made to Con-
gress that a site be procured and a build
ing erected which would afford shelter for
Il the branches Of the civil service COM
mission, but for some reason the recon-
mendation has never been adopted. This
year. however determined efforts are to be
made by all the members of the comm1S-
sion and 1t is understood that they Will
have the earnest support OF the PRESIDENT
to have a sufficient sum appropriated to
paw for the preliminary work before the ad-
iournment of Congress SO that bill can
be passed at this session providing FOR the
erection of the building.

Notorious Divorce Scandal Again Aired
In Norfolk

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, September 1O.-The an
nouncement of an application for pardon
to Gov. Montague for Joseph Cannon OF

vorce purposes his beautiful young bride,
Lillian Bay Cannon of Portsmouth, with
whom he had eloped to Elizabeth City, N.
c., few weeks before.
There was no Virginia statute at the time
to cover their cases and each defendant
was sentenced under the common law 70
one year in Jail and $1,000 fine. Willie
Smith, known at the time as the only
Pebble on the Beach," and charged Jointly
with the others, turned states evidence,
and his sentence was suspended.
Pending an appeal to the supreme court,
Cannon and Hall, while out on bail, fed
and have since been fugitives. An effort to
collect their forfeited bonds failed In the
Virginia court of appeals, which held that
the bonds were not properly taken.
Guy Hall. after spending two years IN
the gold fields of Alaska returned and is
now living in Elizabeth City, N. c. He has
come to Norfolk several times under cover
of night but was never caught. His Of
fense is classed as a misdemeanor and he
cannot be extradited. Norfolk authorities

has completed his work in connectlur with
the st. Louis exposition, which consisted
of interesting Asiatic and Australasian gov

was the first of the foreign representatives
commissioned and he acknowledges that at
the time he took up his work the outlook
for foreign exhibit comparable with that
of Chicago was poor. Considerable preju-
dice was manifest against expositions;
countries had not got out of them what
they had expected, and in a number OF
cases they had replied that they would not
take part at st. Louis. AS a result of his
negotiations and of other influences the
situation has greatly changed Japan will

FOOT BALL AT ANNAPOLIS.
Plenty Of Raw Material, but Few Old
Players.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. September 10-It is
difficult to predict this early in the season
what sort of foot ball team the Naval
Academy will put on the field, but it Is prob
able that with the increased number Of mid
shpmen 1t will be a very creditable one.
The team this year will miss the services
of Capt. Belknap at guard Fretz at center
and Smith at quarter. These men graduated
last February, and are all veteran players,
and have left behind them fine athletic rec
ords.
The present plebe class, while 1t has an
abundance of material, has few, II any, ex-
perienced players. 1t is not improbable,
however, that before the end OF the season
a number of good men will be found among
them to take the places Of those lost by
graduation.
AS yet there has been but little practice
Of any kind, but when Coach Gould Of Yale
who is expected soon, arrives the men will
get down to work in earnest AS yet no
game with West Point has been definitely
arranged, but 1t seems to be the universal
desire of the midshipmen to have one. Capt.
Soule is especially anxious for it, and is do
ing everything in his power to arrange the
contest.
Upon the request of the War Department
to recommend some one for the position Of
third lieutenant of the Philippine Island
constab bulary, Major William A. Thompson
military instructor of st. Johns College, has
recommended Mr.. ]. Harry Wood of An
napoliS student of St. Johns College.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
Magnetic Rock Makes Alaskan Navi-
cation Difficult.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Septem-
Der 1O.-Samuel Jackson Barnett, assistant
pI ofessor of physics, has returned to the
university after several months spent in
survey work along the Alaskan coast. Prof
Barnett left here last May to take charge
of a party sent out by the United States
coast and geodetic survey to make accu-
rate surveys of the northern country along
the coast line.
The party made a special investigation in
the peculiar magnetic disturbances which
have made navigation difficult in certain
localities. Near Skagway these disturb
ances are very severe the DETECTION Of the
needle being SO great that the compass is
rendered almost useless in that vicinity. 1t
was found that this strange state Of affairs
was due to the abundance of magnetic rock
In the locality.
This rock is present in immense guam
titles on Douglas Island. and on the MAIN
land and near Skagway 1t is especially
abundant. Prof. Barnett says that there
was almost perfect magnetic pole at that
point. He will prepare a full report on the
subject for the government.

FOWLER ON CURRENCY
OF HOUSE COMMITTEE
OUTLINES PLANS OF NEW BILL.
Confers With Chicago Bankers and Un-
folds Some Novel Changes
Contemplated.

CHICAGO, September Representative
Charles N. Fowler chairrdan Of the House
committee on currency, Is in Chicago to
confer with bankers on the details of the
financial bill he will introduce at the ex-
pected extra session of Congress.
Mr.. Fowler has outlined the plan of his
bill. 1t will include three leading features,
each of which would represent an impor-
tant change in the currency system.
Important Changes.
The first feature provides for retire
ment of the greenbacks, for their '1mpound-
ing through a stipulation that banks be
compelled to hold 40 per cent OF their cash
reserves in United States notes. AS the
national banks today are voluntarily hold
ing $163.OOO,OOO Of the greenbacks, Repre-
sentative Fowler thinks that this require
ment would involve no hardship. 1t would.
according to his idea, be an effectual way
of divesting the greenbacks of their power
for harm.
The second feature Is for the depositing
Of all public money in the banks, the gov
ernment to get 2 per cent interest and be
secured by a first lien on bank assets, the
relationship between the government and
the banks thus resembling the present re-
iationship of states and municipalities to
the banks where they keep their money on
deposit. Deposits are not to be larger than
90 per cent Of the paid-up capital of banks
receiving them. -
Novel Feature.
The third feature of the bill will be a
provision for asset" or credit" currency
National banks will be permitted to put
out such currency by depositing in the
United States treasury gold coin or gov
ernment bonds equal to per cent of the
amount so put out. This B per cent, to-
gether with the 2 per cent interest on gov
ernment deposits and per cent tax on the
notes thus issued, would constitute guar
antee fund.- When this guarantee fund"
amounts to $10OOO, 600 the excess over this
amount would be utilized in purchasing
gold bullion for converting the greenbacks
into gold certificates.
