LODGE OF ELKs.
New and Handsome Home to Be
Erected.

In the near future the Washington Lodge
OF Elks will have a new and handsome
home in this city. Plans are now being
made to carry out a project which In it's de-
tails involves a large expenditure of money.
1t Is estimated that it will take at least
100000, and perhaps more, to do what Is
now contemplated. Recently 1t was de-
cided by the lodge that some investment
should be found for its surplus funds. The
lodge has been very successfully financially,
and this fund now reaches a very respect
able figure. With view Of finding suit
able use for this money, as well as more
adequate accommodations for the members
of the lodge than is now found in their
building, 1908 sstreet northwest, a COM
mittee has been appointed to select a site
for a new structure This committee con-
sists Of Richard A. OBrien, E. G. Shafer,
M. G. Mccormick, P. T. Moran and Lorenzo
Bailey. The committee has just begun to
look around for suitable site, and the
plan now is to purchase ground somewhere
in the locality bounded by. 9th and 14th
streets and Pennsylvania and New York
avenues There is no special reason for
haste in the matter and 1t is the purpose
OF the committee to take plenty of time, so
that when the selection is made it will
prove to be acceptable in all respects for
the purposes intended.

children-George H Plant, jr., A. c. Plant.
Mrs. Indiana Cowling and Mrs. Laura Vir-
ginia Cowling.
Mr.. George H. Plant was born March Is,
1914 in the vicinity of Silver Springs, Mont
gomery county, Md. He attended school
in the vicinity Of his home and worked dur
ing the summer, as the boys of his time
were accustomed to work. In 1885, at the
age of eighteen years, he came to this city,
and after five years spent In studying the
business Of the city, in 1897 he entered into
business as a builder and contractor In
connection with the manufacturing of brick.
The making of brick in this country was
not the enterprise 1t is at present, and the
factories were few and far between. The
business Mr.. Plant established was carried
on by him forty Eight years in highly sue
cessful manner. During this period, which
covered almost half century, Mr.. Plant
entered largely into the affairs of the Dis
trict. He became onee of the leaders in
finance and politics In the District. He was
elected a member OF the old city council,
representing the second7ward, in which The
Star office is now situated.
He remained a member of the counsel six
years and was a member Of the board of
aldermen twenty seven years. He was city
assessor twenty years, and was one Of the
judges Of the famous levy court for almost
as long time, having been appointed such
by President Buchanan. President Lincoln
offered to make Mr.. Plant superintendent of
public buildings and. grounds, then a far
more important position than it has since
become, but Mr. Plant. declined.
In 1886 Mr.. Plant established the first line
Of steamships to ply between this city and
Norfolk, and he carried on: this business
for. over twenty years. Mr.. Plant was one
of the organizers Of the National Safe De-
post Company and was am officer or direc-
tor in dozen orr more of the city's most
prominent business and financial institu-
tons. He was prominently connected with
almost every enterprise which had for its
object the advancement of the District, and
was an earnest advocate of the greater and
more beautiful Washington About year
ago Mr.. Plants health began to fail and he
was forced to give up all active business.
He became very feeble and in a short time
his great age SO impaired his faculties that
he was not able to get out of his house
Death came a result of a general break
down incident to extreme age. Mr.. Plant
was the center of large circle of friends
all of whom have united in expressing their
grief and sympathy to the members of the
dead mans family.

DISPLAYS BIG ROLL.
Intoxicated Man Shows $4,000 in
Large Bills.

A man who registered at a downtown
hotel last night William Lee OF New
York attracted some attention in the Balti-
more and Potomac depot early in the night
by displaying a big roll of money. He had
twenty-eight 500 bills, which he laid about
the floor of the depot and on his knees. He
was so much under the influence of liquor
that he was unable to purchase railroad
ticket. Detective Pratt was on duty at the
depot at the time, and his attention was
directed to the man. He went to the
strangers assistance, and the latter i'm
parted the information that he was able to
take care of himself
1--WE been about the country number Of
times he said to the detective, land I'm
able to look out for my own money"
The mans face showed evidences of vio-
lence and the detective was informed that
the stranger had been roughly handled
while at the pool room at st. Asaphs, Va,
where it was stated, he won a large sum Of
money on the races, but 1t was taken from
him. Detective Pratt accompanied the
stranger to the hotel, and this morning he
left the city on an early train for the south.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Improvements to Be Made Owing to
Increase Of Business.

On account of the increase of the bust
ness the management of the Southern rail-
road have, decided to lay double track be-
tween Alexandria and Orange. Contracts
for the first section from Washington to
Manassas have been let, and work on the
improvements begun yesterday. Two thou
sand men are working in sections between
Alexandria and Manassas. More will be
obtained If needed.
Surveying gangs are at work on other sec
lions of the road. The yards at Alexandria
are to be enlarged, and accommodations for
more rolling stock made in the round houses
there.
The necessity of a double track between
Orange, Alexandria and Washington was
impressed upon the management, as within
the past two years its business more than
doubled. Its track facilities north of Orange
proved so inadequate for demands made
upon 1t that freight was necessarily side
tracked to put passenger trains through on
time. Even that ARA ngement proved Of
little avail. and the double-track system
was decided upon.
