An Anti-Imperialist VictoryP

!
An ingenious antf-imperfalst has discov-
cred that the election of Mr. Douglas IN
Massa chusetts is victory for anti-impe-
rialism. He is sure that thousands OF
friends of Filipino independence went to the
polls and voted for Mr.. Douglas in order "a
rebuke Mr.. Roosevelt and the imperiaiistie
policy. That is happy. thought. There
must be something in It, Just why these
persons, If they wanted to rebuke imperial
ism did not vote against President Roose-
welt. under. whose imperial heel the poor
Filipinos groan. irstead of against Gov;
Bates. who tyranrlzes over nothing beyond
the precincts of the sacred Goldfish. is bit
puzzing. But we do not pretend to under
stand the convolutions of the anti-imperial-
istic brain. Perhaps the last thing the
anti-imperialists wanted was a change IN
the Philippines in accordance with their
own demand. for that would deprive them
of a grievance without which they never
could be happily miserable, and 1t might
also prove their prescription harmful. It is
much safer to tell how things should be
done without having to put the plan to
practical test. So the anti-imperialists may
have reasoned and given relief to their feel.
tngs by voting for Mr.. Douglas, who could
do nothing to deprive them OF their dear
and exclusive issue.

NEW POLICE COURT
Design for Building Accepted
by Commissioners.
AN NOUNCED TODAY
PLAN SUBMITTED BY ARCHITECT
SIMPSON APPROVED.
Others Given Honorable Mention-De-
scription of the Structure-Special
Attention to Ventilation.

Plan No 16, submitted by Architect Hen
ry Simpson of 734 18th street northwest,
was today selected by the District Com
missioners as the best design received IN
the architects competition for the new
Police Court building to be constructed at
the corner of 9th and d streets northwest
TIE Commissioners. however, did not make
the award of the s., 500 prize for the best
plan to Architect Simpson today, owing to
an unforeseen circumstance that occurred
in connection with the competition.
The Commissioners in their final consid-
Grafton of the plans this morning decided
that No 16, submitted by Mr.. Simpson,
was entitled to first place, and that plans
numbered 10 and 5, submitted by George o.
Totten, jr and Harding & Upman, respec-
lively, were entitled to honorable mention
in the order named. Upon opening the re-
naming eighteen sealed and numbered en-
veiopes, however, the Commissioners DIS
covered that Mr.. Simpson and Mr.. rotten
had each submitted two different sets of
drawings, and that Harding & Upman had
submitted three different plans.
In addition to plan No IL Mr. Simpson
submitted plan No. IA. Mr.. TOtten was the
author of No. q. as well as of No. Is, and
Messrs. Harding and Upman submitted
plans Nos. II and 90 in addition to No. D.
None of the other architects entered In the
competition submitted more than one plan
Submitted Two Designs.
A., was previously stated the Commission
ers had not foreseen the contingency of a
competitor for the prize submitting more
than one set of plans. and when hey is-
covered that Mr.. Simpson had entered two
different designs in the competition t3ey
were in somewhat of a quandary rs to what
action to take.

| certained, did not specify that any COM
petitor should be allowed to submit only one
| plan, but it was stated to be contrary to
professional ethics to allow more than one
| chance to each architect in a competition.
| The Commissioners, therefore, decided 10
| take the matter under consideration and
reserve the award of prize, although an
nouncing their preference for plan No. 10.
Just what course of action will be fol-
| lowed could not be ascertained today, as
J the Commissioners had not themselves de-
cided upon the matter. 1t was suggested
that the Police Court building might be
constructed in accordance with Mr. Simp-
sons design, and a certain sum be paid
| him for the plan, while the prize might be
awarded to some other architect. Another
suggestion to the effect that all the
plans submitted by architects who had
submitted two or more plans be thrown out
and the award of prizes be made to the
best plan among those remaining.
1t was thought probable by the Commits
sioners that the Police Court would be con-
structed in accordance with Mr.. Simpsons
plan. 1t was pointed out that the program
of competition did not limit the number of
plans any architect might submit, although
it had been understood that only one set
of plans would be submitted by any one
al chect. The question of rules of profess
siOnal practice in such cases will no doubt
enter into the consideration of the matter
by the Commissioners.
In TIE southeast corner of the building
is the Judges private room and to the
by 10 feet; witness room and prisoners
cells in the north end of the wing. These
rooms communicate with the court room
through a private corridor.
Extra Court Room Provided.
The court room on the second floor cor
responds with the court room on the first
floor with respect to location, &c. In the
north end of the west wing on the second
floor there is a room "a by 80 feet, desig-
mated as an extra court room, probably
for juvenile court. The marshals room is
in the second story. in the southwest
corner, and in the rear of this is an extra
witness IeJom. The arrangement of the
east wing on the second story corresponds
to the arrangement of that wing on the
first floor with respect to judges room,
jury room, witne SIS rooms and prisoners
cells.
The rooms in the mezzanine story are
principally for court attendants, and in
clude rooms for the matron, baliffs, clerks,
a waiting room for police officers, wit
ness rooms and sick room for women.
The heating and ventilating apparatus
is provided for in the basement, where
are also located public toilets, a room
for the janitor, a large fuel room on the
east side and store room fer the mar
shall. In the northwest corner of the
basement provision has been made for
fireproof vault.

JAP GENERALS ARE. OLD MEN

The Cleveland Leader has made an in
teresting compilation. from Japanese
sources, of the ages of the foremost Jap.
anese generals in the present war. AS a
rule, they are considerably older than
either the Union or Confederate general IS
were when engaged in the civil war. If
the present Japanese generals win in the
conflict with Russia, their triumph will
be that of old men. Every war breeds
it's own heroes. Possibly some Japanese
commander at present holding subor-
dinate position may make himself famous
and eclipse the generals whose names are
now mentioned in war dispatches Mar

135 feet on Prospect street. Their old
building was entirely remodeled,
thoroughly modernized and so joined
to the new one that the floors made
one stretch from wall to wall. The

old, SO the space is considerably more
than doubled.
This has all been brought about

three years ago this concern did very

Friday Evening,

Admiral Sampson was so disappointed
at missing the great fight and thus
losing the laurels of victory that he
could not deal with Admiral schley
generously. Altho the battle had
been fought and won in his absent G,
he had not single word of appre-.
cistion or congratulation to uttc,. Had
Sampson been as generous as Sir John
Jervls after the battle of st. Vincent,
there would have been no aftermath
OF bitterness and quarrelling to dim
the luster of the victory of Santiago.
How great the contrast between
Sampson ignoring Schley and Jerv1s
congratulating Nelson is well brought
out by Admiral Schley when he says:
The incident Of the visit made to the
flagship on that Sd of July, after our
signal victory, recalls another made after
the great battle of ST. Vincent, more than
q hundred years before, when the immor-

Bennett Tries to Rally Hearst Men Against
John A. johnson, With S. M Owen for.
RaIIyng PoInt-Johnson's Friends Anx-
lous for Declaration Of His candl-
dacy.

James r. Bennett, ar, Of st. Cloud, who
led the Hearst campaign in Minnesota, has
undertaken to organize an opposition to
the nomination of John A. Johnson as
the democratic candidate for governor. He
lis not pleased with the action Of the ST.
Paul conference in failing to invite Hearst
adherents to talk it over with them. Mr..
Bennett was in the twin cities yesterday
working up his movement, and called on
several leaders of the date Hearst move
ment Some agreed to work with him, but
others declared themselves as entirely sat
isfed with Johnson as candidate. :
The choice of the Johnson opposition,
as far as it has gone, is S. M. Owen Of
Minneapolis, but that gentleman is under
stood to have given a positive refusal
some time ago to such proposals, and
Is not considered as available. The Ben
nett following is likely to pick out some
other Minneapolitan if it fails to prevail
on Mr.. Owen. Some Of his friends have
suggested that Bennett himself would not
make bad candidate.
| Meanwhile, no one has waited on John
| A. johnson with the invitation of the
| democracy, and the ST. Peter man is keep
| ing still 1t is understood that he is not
] by any means certain to agree to the
lproposal, as he is not a man of large
means, and would have to make a great
] personal sacrifice to accept the nomination
and make the campaign. Those who favor
his nomination believe he can be prevailed
on to run if the convention is harmonious,
| but they want Mr.. johnson to declare
himself in advance. They think 1T would
inject confidence into the democracy to
i have an active bidder in the field for the
nomination. It would also tend to hold
the dissatisfied element of republicans
4 which is relied on to help elect the nom
inee. from drifting back into the party
corral. For these reasons an effort viii
be made in a few days to get a definite
decision from Mr.. Johnson.
