DESIGN LEFT TO BIDDERS.
New Proposals Invited for Construc-
ton Of Highway Bridge.

Colonel Allen. the engineer officer In
charge of the improvement of the Potomac
river, will take prompt action In the matter
Of the proposed highway bridge AS has
been already stated in The Star, the War
Department has rejected all the bids re-
Gently received for the bridge. and decided
to call for new bids. AS result OF a con-
ference between Gen. Gillespie, chief OF
engineers. and Mr.. Burnham, the Chicago
architect, who is a member OF the Dlstrlct
park commission, it has been decided to
leave the design Of the bridge to the re-
spective bidders, and to accept the design
regarded as best adapted for the purposes
provided the bridge can be constructed
within the available appropriation OF $780,
900.
Although the bidders will be given free
rein in the matter of the general design OF
the bridge, certain conditions will necessar-
ily be pre- scribed to meet the peculiar con-
ditionS of the case.
For instance, it Is regared as essential
that the location of the piers of the high
way bridge shall conform to the location or
the piers of the Pennsylvania railway
bridge. so as to afford a free and unob-
structed flow of the river currents This Is
to insure harmony in the length of the
spans and have the draws of the two
bridges in corresponding locations. as well
of equal width. There are certain re-
quirements in the matter of Roadway which
are regarded as necessary In the interests
of navigation. 1t Is also required that the
bridge shall not be less than forty feet in
width. which is regarded as the minimum
requirement for the purposes which the
proposed bridge is intended to meet
A style of architecture in harmony with
the projected development of Potomac
Park Is also desired. All other things being
equal. the design harmonizing most at
tractively with the environments will stand
the best chance of selection.
1t Is realized that 1t Is impossible at this
time to build a bridge according to the
approved plans of the War Department
within the appropriation without reduc-
ing the width of the structures thing 1t
Is especially desired to avoid.
Col Allen is now preparing the adver-
tisement calling for new proposals. and 1t
will be published in a day or two. In con-
formity with the statute in such cases the
bidders will be given thirty days time for
the preparation Of their designs and bids.
1t Is said at the War Department that
under the plan just adopted the question
Of the design Of the bridge is left open to
the bidders. and 1t Is hoped to obtain a bid
within the limits Of the funds on hand for
bridge that will answer all the purposes
Of general traffic and at the same time
prove an ornament to the national capital

planned by the park commission to connect
the Capitol with the monument grounds:
If this plan shall be adopted the memorial
might take the place Of the Lincoln memo
rial in the park commissions plan. and be
placed at the far end Of the boulevard at
such a point that the monument will be
midway between 1t and the Capitol No
actual decision regarding the site has been
reached. as the national government Off
cials will have to be consulted. 1t Is ex-
pected that the sum Of 100000 will be ex-
pended on the structure and that one Of
the features of the interior will be hand

pected that the walls OF the interior Of the
building will be decorated with paintings

great Virginian.
The Jefferson Medallions.
The mint began the work of striking off
the Jefferson medallions this morning and

for the medallion was printed in The Even
ing Star about four weeks ago, and con-
tains many Of the features Of the Jeffer-
son PRESIDENTIAL medal. These medals will
be given to each contributor of 81 to the
memorial fund. The association will also

NEW PROTOCOL DRAFTED.
Question Of Preferential Treatment in
Claims Against Venezuela.

Mr.. Bowen the Venezuelan plenipoten-
tiary, has drawn up a new protocol for the
determination by The Hague arbitration
tribunal Of the question whether the block
aiding powers shall be entitled to preferen-
tial treatment in the payment of their
claims against Venezuela. This has been
presented to the British ambassador and
copies furnished to the diplomatic repre-
senta tives of Germany and Italy. The new
instrument contains all the points on which
the negotiators practically are In accord
except one which 1t is thought will be ami
cabIy adjusted.
The allied governments having determin-
ed not to press the point of consideration
by The Hague tribunal of whether not
Venezuela shall be compelled to pay the
expenses of the blockade the new protocol
contains no provision on that point. The
document has been transmitted to London
by cable and an early answer Is expected
by the British ambassador. which will
thorize him to proceed with the considera-
ton of the matter.
According to the protocol the tribunal OF
arbitration Is to be appointed by the Czai
of Russia and will meet on the first of Sep.

STRIKERS LEAVE THE CITY

More than one-third Of the 115 journey
men paperhangers. members of Local
Union, No. 42O. Of the Brotherhood of
falnters, Decorators and Paperhangers,
who went on strike Saturday morning for
anincrease IN pay Of 40 cents per day,
have departed from this city since yester-
day morning for Richmond, Boston and
Pittsburg to accept proffered positions. at
from $40 to 80 per diem. Aside from
the fact that the journeymen are leaving
the city. the controversy has undergone no
important change in the last forty eight
hours.
Business Agent Harry J. Wells is almost
constantly employed in visiting the en-
ployers and making out working cards for
departing members
When reporter of The Star called at
the headquarters Of the strikers this after
noon 1t was stated that a committee meet
Ing had been held during the morning to
consider overtures from several EMPLOYERS
who were anxious to get their men back to
work. and that Mr.. Wells had been out con-
ferring with them since the meeting ad-
journed. 1t was intimated today that the
local unions of brotherhood painters and
decorators are considering the advisa bility
OF fnsututing sympathetic strike against
all establishments the proprietors Of which
persist in refusing to grant the increase Of
from $3.50 and - to $500 asked by the
paperhangers.
The employers, especially those associated
with the Master Paperhangers Association,
are apparently experiencing no uneasiness.
When asked for statement this afternoon
Mr. R. E. Farr, president of the EMPLOYERS
association. remarked that he thought the
Journeymen had acted hastily. when 1t is
taken into consideration that the employ
ers have said they would pay $3.50 after
September 1 next He said the union re-
fused to consider such a proposition de-
clar1ng that the increase must be granted
at once To this. he said, the employers re-
pied that they would concede that the tn
crease should begin July l. When the union
refused this proposition and went on strike.
Mr.. Farr said, the members of his associa-
ton decided to make no further advances.

claims to be a resident of Paterson. N. j

The detective was at home when Clark cali
ed and was requested by the visitor to pur
chase some court plaster from him, which
was put up in envelopes on which was
printed a statement to the effect that Clark
had lost the use of his right arm. At the
bottom of the envelopes was printed:

He refused to make an explanation, and
was given the alternative of paying fine
