Tentative plans for the new District
building are fast nearing completion in
the Offices of Cope & Stewardson. Phila-
delphia. Capt. Chester Harding, as
slstant 10 the Engineer Commissioner.
and who will have direct charge of the
construction. made trip to Philadel
phia last Wednesday TO consult with
the architects. and as a result meet
ing Will be held in the District Building
next week at which time the rough
plans will be discussed and changes
suggested. If there be need for such.
AS soon as the final scheme is de-
termined upon the permanent plans
will be drafted and excavation com
menced as soon thereafter as practical
Bile. Captain Harding said yesterday
afternoon that he hoped the ground
floor plans would be ready by the first
of the new year. and the work OF build
ing the sub-structure could then pro-
coed, regardless OF the plans for the
upper stories.
The piling and general foundation work
of the old powerhouse has been thor
oughly tested and found in excellent
condition. and will be used to sup
, port the four outside walls OF the new
structure. The interior foundations
will have to be altered to conform to
the new plans.
No details of the building have been
given out beyond the fact that it viii
cover the entire site. The general
plans were published at the time the
award was made to the Philadelphia
architects. but. as was stated at the
time, all the principal features were
subject to alteration. Many new ideas
have been incorporated and some of the
original features eliminated. so that
when the rough plans are presented
next week many important changes
will be noticed. The work OF leveling
the site Will be begun within a few
days, and all the debris removed pre-
paratory to excavation.

ficials OF the United States Museum in
the call-bell said to have hung behind
the bar OF the Battle House. Alexandria
at the time Colonel Ellsworth was kill
ed. The bell was presented by Harry
B. Anthony some time ago. AS there
was no Battle House in Alexandria and
as the Braddock House was not SC

that the bell belongs in the Marshall

fYDUsTRIAL coMBIyATIoNs.

Henry Clews is one of the wise men
 of Wall street. and what he has to say
 concerning finance and business is well ] worth attention. He thinks that the
 Morgan school and financial schools of a similar type have closed for a long vacation, and he also thinks that "there is hardly any question that within the next few weeks there will be a general
 movement to dissolve enormous indus trial combinations. This will not be done with unwise haste, but the sweep ing out will be thorough
 MT. Morgan is certainly not as popu- lar as he was, and the fact that he is apparently having good time on his yacht in these trying days looks to some of those who consider themselves his victims very much like the fiddling of Nero when Rome was burning. And there are enough industrial combina- tions in trouble to give weight to MT. CleRs prediction concerning them. But his prediction seems to be rather sweep ing. It is not probable that the princi- pie of combination is to be immediately abandoned. though it is probable that the great principle" of over-capitali- zation, and that other great principle of capitalization of losses are to have hard time of 1t. Indeed. they are already in serious trouble, There will be some, and perhaps many, industrial combina- tions dissolved, or, at least, reorgan- ized. Much money which has gone into them has already been dissolved, and more will be. But there will be some industrial combinations left when the storm is over, and perhaps they will have learned how to do business more soundly and safely than it has lately been done by them. If they don't there will be more trouble.
