ported to the House Today.

The House Committee on Public Build
inEs and Grounds will today report an
omnibus public buildings bill. which will
carry an appropriation Of about S6.OOO.-
coo.
The largest item in the measure will
be a provision appropriating an addi-
tional 81 900 coo for the District munic-
ipal building This is in accordance with
the recommendations and estimates Of
the District Commissioners themselves
TO Congress several weeks ago.
In this communication, on the subject
OF the necessity OF the additional appTo-
priation, the Commissioners said:
LAS stated by the committee OF award,
and as is well known by architects and
builders. no building Of the size. neces-
sary for the Offices OF the government

MURDERER FREE WHILE
AUTHORITIES QUARREL
Citizens Employ Detectives
to Run Down Girls Slayer.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb 14.-While
the authorities OF the counties are quar-
reIing. the murderer OF Regina Curry,
the pretty seamstress who lived In the
hamlet of La Mott, seems likely to es-
cape.
The scene of the crime. a lonely spot
in Willow Road. is just across the city
and county line, so the Philadelphia
police refuse TO take up the case. The
Montgomery county authorities had be
lieved that It was a case within the
jurisdiction Of the city detective force.
and up to 10 o'clock this morning had
not made the slightest Investigation OF
the crime.
Newspaper reporters alone have in
vestigated the girls death. They have
practically named the murderer. 1t is
clearly understood that the girl died in
defense OF her honor.
Citizens of La Mott and the surround
ing towns are highly indignant over the
negligence OF the city and county police.
and have retained a detective from the
Pinkerton agency. by private s1bscrip-
tion. to run down the murderer.

ADMIRAL MELVILLE
WILL NOT RESIGN
Secretary Moody and the
Officer Deny Story.

The report that Rear Admiral George
W. Melville. engineer chief of the
navy. intends TO resign his position in
the navy or ask for retirement before
his term OF Office expires. is character
lied today by both Secretary of the Navy
Moody and Admiral Melville as untrue
secretary Moody in speaking OF the mat
ler said today:
To my personal knowledge Rear Ad-
aairal Melville has not resigned nor has
he any Intention OF taking such action.
He has never signiRed to either the
President or myself that he would ask
for retirement before his term OF ofice as
chief engineer of the navy expires. YoT
may quote me in just as strong Language
as you can that the story TO the effect
that Admiral Melville viii relinquish his
post as engineer in chief OF the United
States Navy within the next few weeks
is absolutely false. and was evidently
inspired by some one antagonistic to Ad-
miral Melville
AS far as my knowledge goes-and
think l ought 10 know about such mat
ters-not the slightest consideration has
ever been given by the President to the
question Of a successor TO Admiral Mel
Vile when his term of Of1ce expires next
August. The erroneous announcement
that Admiral Melville intends TO resign
and that Capt. Charles w. Rea has
been selected to succeed him. is extreme

request that the limit OF cost OF the
building and site be increased TO g., 800
900, which is an Increase of 81 600, 600
over the amount at present authorized.
THE committee Of award makes the
statement that the site purchased by
direction OF Congress is too small 10
accommodate the size OF building desir-
ed, as the needs Of the District govern
ment would necessitate a six-story
building and il is their opinion that a
building Of this character should not De
more than four stories The act of Con-
gress authorizing the purchase Of the
site and the erection of the building also
authorized the closing OF E Street lying
between square 255 and Pennsylvania
Avenue. and the use Of the street for the
purpose OF the erection OF the building.
but this is considered undesirable, as Il
would detTact from the architectural ap-
pearance OF the building and the general
effect OF Pennsylvania Avenue. The in
crease in the size of the site could be
accomplished by the purchase of part
of the square TO the south of the present
site and the closing of ID Street between
Thirteen and d-a-haf and Fourteenth
Streets"
