White Granite Probable.


From the attitude of the members of the
District building commission, and from the
negotiations that have recently been under
way between the commission and the Hard
wick quarry people, it is predicted that the
new home of the District government will
be constructed out of white granite, if
Congress increases the total cost of the
building and this action is anticipated. A
number of citizens and practical stone men
have expressed to the commission a prefer
ence for the use of white granite in the
building as opposed to the use of marble
MIR. William Silver, representative of the
Granite Cutters National Union, and who
Is regarded as competent to judge as
to kind and quality of the different building
stones, has expressed himself as strongly in
favor of white granite as the stone for the
new District building. Mr.. Silver declares
that the light-colOred granite for a monu-
mental building, such as it is proposed to
make the new municipal building, is mot
only the most slightly and best, but also the
most enduring; that it will weather better,
and with it's use better results could be OBJ
tanned than by the use of marble" Mr.. Sill
yer also comments upon the Vermont white
granite, and states that stone cutters agree
that splendid results can be obtained from
1t with respect to carving, etc. If the white
granite is used for the exterior of the mu-
nicipal building, he says, the structure will
present an even, white appearance, and that
the dark, wavy streaks that sooner or later
appear in American marble will be absent.
No Mistake Made.
'In selecting the white granite for the
municipal building" says Mr.. Silver, the
commission is making no mistake In addi-
ton to the architectural advantages to he
obtained by the use of this stone, there are
other advantages. I can authoritatively
state that no strike need be feared during
the continuance of the stone-cutting con-
tract. If marble is taken delay might be
occasioned because of certain labor condi-
TONS"
Secretary Silver says that from his knowi-
edge of the white granite he would rather
spend $100, 600 more for it than for marble
or any other stone, because he thinks 1t
would give the best satisfaction
There seems to be quite strong senti-
ment among citizens of the community In
favor of white granite in preference to mar
ble 1t is believed that the former stone
will wear better and be more enduring.

WContrahaudv Not a Defense.

In an opinion by Justice Peckham the Su-
preme Court of the United States has af-
firmed the decision of the circuit court of
appeals for the second circuit in the case
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
against the American Trading Company.
The latter company brought the action to
secure damages for delay in the transport
tation of pig lead from the United States to
Japan during the Japanese-Chinese war, on
account of which the company failed to Sc
cure the high price for lead prevailing in
Japan at the time. The court of appeals
awarded the damages as claimed, but the
railroad company resisted the verdict on
the ground that lead was contraband of
war and its shipment prohibited by dep
uty collector at the port of Tacoma, WASH,
whence the shipment was to have been
made. The court refused to accept this

LIEUT.. EDWARDS LOSES.
Appealed From Being Reduced in Rank
Ninety-One Files.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has dismissed the writ of error in the case
of Artillery Lieut.. Frank B. Edwards
against the Secretary of War for restora-
ton of rank. Edwards was promoted to be
first lieutenant in 1901 and then held the
lineal rank of 50 and the relative rank of
SD. Subsequently commissions to the grade
of first lieutenant of artillery were issued to
nipety-one volunteer officers who had served
during the Spanish war, and by reason of
their prior commissioned service in the vol
unteer army those officers were placed above
Edwards on the list, thereby reducing his
rank ninety-one files.
Edwards asked for writ of 'mandamus

his former rank in the United States army
The Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia refused the prayer, and yester-
days decision has the effect of affirming

FALSE ALARMS.
Fire and Police Departments Startled
Near the Midnight Hour.

Two false alarms of fire turned In last
night occasioned considerable annoyance
in fire and police circles. The first alarm
was sounded at t2:45 O'Clock. and ten min
utes later the second call came over the
wire. The first was from box 1877. at New
York avenue and 10th street, and the sec
ond was from box 173, at 14th and II
streets northwest. At the time the calls
were made there was high wind. and the
firemen feared an ali-night fight with
flames. The second call brought addition
al companies from their homes and Grip
pied the department for short time
Some little time was spent by the firemen
and policemen in endeayoring to locate
fires, and they desisted only after they
were satisfied that there had been no occa-
sion for turning In the alarms. Later the
police were told that a messenger boy in
uniform had been seen to ride to the two
boxes about the time the alarms were
sounded.
A description of the boy was given, and
