Square 14S, between Eighteenth and
pun lchased by the Treasury Department
as a site for the Hall of Records An
announcement was made by Secretary
Shaw this morning as follows:
'The department has decided to ac-
quire square No. 143 as a site for the
proposed Hall of Records, in pursuance
of an act of Congress appropriating
100000 for that purpose. The Secre-
tary was authorized to acquire the
same by purchase or condemnation pro-
ceedings, at his discretion.
at is believed that 100000 is an
ample price for the premises. This is
2 I-Io times the assessed value of the
square. The Secretary therefore offers
10 purchase at I-1o times the assessed
value. No portion will be accepted,
however, unless at last 65 per cent of
the space is offered.
Whenever two-thirds of the space is
offered at this rate it viii be accept
ed, and paid for, and condemnation
proceedings commenced against any
portion that is not so offered.
'Tn this way it is hoped to save
S1oo,cco of the appropriation, and avoid
the delay and uncertainty Of condem-
nation proceedings, which have hereto
fore resulted unsatisfactory to the
Government"
Controversy Ended
In deciding TO purchase square 145
Secretary Shaw has ended a contro-
yersy which has extended over the
period since the adjournment of Con-
gress. The appropriation was made by
Congress. the site was selected. subject
to the approval OF the Secretary of the
Treasury. and the matter then passed

Treasury Department
The first move by Supervising Archi-
tect Taylor showed that the properly
owners had determined to obtain as high
a price as possible from the Government.
Prices were asked for from the various
owners. and these were listed by Mr..
Taylor. The aggregate was $4,000, or
Sc, COO more than the appropriation.
John Hay. Secretary Of State. United
States Senator Stewart OF Nevada. and
Gen. GeorSe c. Hazelton were the prin-
cipaI owners. General Hszelton repre-
sented a number of others who were
small owners in the square.
No effort was made for several weeks
to obtain lower valuation on the prop
erty. II became known. however. that
opposition had developed to this site On
the grounds that IL was without the
plans OF the Burnham park commission.
General Hazelton visited the Treas
u : department. and volunteered to OBJ
tain an estimate within the limit OF the
appropriation. 4 second bid was sub
mitted which proposed that Congress
should pay S349. Geo for the square.
After the second proposal was sub

A REMEDY FOR LEGAL RUST.

The young lawyer was foundering
in tangle of his own making in a
case he had before supreme court
justice, who is known, says an ex-
change, as the humorist of the bench.
The justice listened attentively to
the young mans efforts to disentan-
gle himself, but after awhile he was
visibly impatient, and the young man
perceived that the time had come for
excuses. So he began:
"You see, your honor, to be per-
fectly frank with you, I am the least
bit rusty on methods of procedure in
cases of this nature. I trust that
your honor will bear with me and ad-
wise me in the matter"
"Why, certainly" replied the jus
tice, smiling. II will be only too
glad to advise you."
The face of the young lawyer be-
gan to brighten, only to be shrouded
in gloom moment later, when the
justice added:
MY advice to you, young man, is
that you go and study law"

however, as to just what constitutes
the concealing of deadly weapon.
1t has been contented that the carry
ing of such weapon in the pocket
where a person carries everything of
the kind and size is not concealine it
that it is carrying it in the most
convenient and natural place. Con-
ceallng a weapon, OH the other hand.
might be the hiding of knife up ones
sleeve or tucking a revolver into ones
breast or boot.
In this connection there is queer
fact concerning the carrying of a re-
volver in Chicago. If man has one
IN his pocket and is arrested incident
ally on suspicion he is locked up and
assessed the usual fine; if he chances
to be carrying one and is attacked bv
thugs he may use the weapon, killing
one or two of his assailants. and not
even be arrested. -
