PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.
Test of Chemicals Designed for Use in
Theaters.

Through the courtesy of the supervising
architect of the Treasury Department and
the superintendent of the Capitol building,
Commissioner 1acfarland has had several
tests made in their laboratories respecting
the treatment of wood, scenery, etc., by
chemical preparations calculated to protect
the scenery, etc, In theaters from fire. Mr..
Macfarland is also seeking information in
regard to other methods for carrying out
the provisions of the existing regulations,
which provide that If practicable the wood
work, scenery and stage settings shall be
treated with fire-resisting preparation.
1t is stated that thus far the tests with
one certain chemical preparation have been
favorable The chief difficulty in the use
Of chemical preparations, 1t is claimed, is
that the preparations lose their effectiveness
after lapse of time
Commissioner Macfarland states that II
the Commissioners find that it is practical
BILE to treat wood. stage floor and scenery
with a preparation. the District authorities
will require the theaters of the city to pro-
vide themselves with a proper preparation
and treat the stage settings with it.

Rumor That Baggage Room in Union
Station Will Be Dispensed With.
mbb- m, w.f,4t

The rumor has been in circulation at
the District building that the railroad
companies are considering the abandon
ment of the underground baggage room,
which it was proposed to construct on the
south side of the II street subway at the
union station. This baggage room, 1t is
understood, was to be used as a storage
baggage room, and was to be of consider
able size, connecting with the check rooms
Of the union station building proper by
means of an underground runway. 1t is
thought that should the baggage room
at the H street subway be abandoned, a
considerable change in the terminal plans
as now contemplated would be necessi-
tated. although 1t is believed that there
would be no material delay in the compile
ton of the terminal project because of
the required change.
Colonel John Biddle. Engineer Commits
sioner, stated to a reporter for The Star
that he had received an unofficial report
to the effect that the railroad company
is contemplating the abandonment of the
Fl street baggage room. He said how
ever, that no information with regard to
tho reported change has been received
by him from the railroad officials and
therefore, he did not know whether OF
not the rumor was we'll founded. He said
ne would probably not know as to the
change in the plans until the whole set of
drawings for the station project has been
presented to him for inspection.
III case the baggage room is not con-
structed on the south side of the II street
subway, the officials were not inclined to
suggest any other location for the room
A committee representing the Northeast
Citizens Association called on Colonel
Biddle this morning and requested that q
date be fixed for public hearing relative
to the arrangement of streets about the
union station plaza. The Commissioners
will notify the committee that a hearing
will be granted with reference to this mat
ter next Tuesday morning at IL o'clock.
The District will soon send out letters
to owners of property within the pro-
posed bounds Of the plaza and in the i'm
mediate vicinity surrounding, asking for
terms at which they will sell their prop
erty to the District. in connection with
the union station work. When replies
have been received to these letters. t
IS stated, an approximate idea as to the
cost of the plaza can lie obtained
