a notable feature OF Stoneleigh Court the
apartment house at the southeast corner
o, Connecticut avenue and L street, which
was completed during the past month. is
the fact that it is not only one of the
il rgest structures ef the sort in the city,
bat that ii was designed and built by
Washington men and the material used
was supplied in this city. Although the
building has a frontage of 30 feet on Con-
necticue avenue and 1915 feet on l. street
and is eight stories and basement in height
IT was ready for occupancy in less than
eleven months. The foundations We're COM
p,eted and ready for the superstructure
tile 10th of January. 1903, and the LIST of
December last the tenants were in the
building. This rapidity in construction was
made possible by the business-like methods
employed by Mr.. James L. Parsons, the
contractor. who has had a good deal of
experience in the construction of large
buildings in this city. The secret of sue
cess in this particular was the ability to
get together the materials that each
part of the work could go without delay.
Fast construction under such auspices
means simply the proper use of time, and
does not indicate any neglect of details or
slovenly work. The building is thoroughly
fiIeproof. and is of the best and most mod
eIn workmanship. On account of the char
aCter of the soil II was found necessary to
csrry the foundations down to the unusual
depth of thirty feet below the sidewalk
level before solid ground was reached. The
foundations are of concrete pillars and
concrete Orders. the exterior walls
brick. stone and terra Gotta, while the in
terror frame work is steel.
\ feature of the building which at once
attracts attention is the large central court
which occupies the center OF the structure,

Congressional Action Invoked.

According to Auditor Garrison, the ap-
preparation for kindergarten instruction
cannot be used for renting pianos to be
used in the kindergarten schools of WASH

ton the Commissioners will add to the item
appropriating $4,000 for kindergarten in
struction in the District, the clause avail
able for the purchase of pianos for use in
the kindergarten schools"
The controller of the treasury recently de-
cided that no part of the present appropr
alton for kindergarten instruction could be
used for the purchase of pianos for the in
FAINT schools, and the board of education
suggested that the pianos be rented for the
present and the rental be paid out of the
appropriation for kindergarten instruction.
The auditor of the District however. states
that he does not believe the accounting Of
ficers OF the treasury would allow the
rental of pianos as a proper charge against
the appropriation

Lewis H. Russell, one of the two men re-
Gently arrested in Baltimore on a charge
of having passed worthless check on
Boston bank in connection with an ar
rangement to purchase a saloon, as stated.
in The Star at the time has been identified
one Of two men who figured in similar
transaction in this city in September last.
At that time two men, who gave their
names as Charles F. Wilson and Lloyd
Reed. were in this city for a time. and
went away after they had engaged In a
business transaction, which was described
In a circular sent out by Capt. Boardman,
which reads:
They visited business exchange in this
city about September 8. and represented
that they had $4,000 to invest In a retail
shoe store. and the manager of the ex-
change not having such place on his list
offered them hotel and dining room. which
proposition they said they would consider
They remained in the hotel several days,
and on Thursday, the nth instant, agreed
to purchase the place. Pending the final
settlement of the tranSaction-aS an evil
dence of good faith-they gave the proprie-
tor of the hotel a check for $500, drawn on
the Boston Trust Company, and the owner
of the premises similar check for one
months rent, both of which proved TO be
worthless. They at once assumed charge
of the cashiers desk, and on the following
morning disappeared, taking with them the
receipts for the day before, amounting to
about S1O0."
Russell. as the man gave his name In
Baltimore, has been identified as the man
who gave his name as Reed in this city.
His photograph was received at police
headquarters from Baltimore yesterday
afternoon. and Detective Flather soon had
1t identified The place that the men agreed
to purchase in this city was the Temple
cafe. The men claimed that they We're
from Boston, and had letters they had re-
ceived from Hartford, Conn: Manchester
