French governments and received the
thanks of the American people and a vote

tive state. The Maryland legislature also
caused a gold medal to be struck for him.

TOUR OF THE o1rY.
Representative Gardiner is shown
About by Commissioners West.

With view to bringing the needs of the
District OF Columbia YividIy before the
District subcommittee In the House OF Rep
resentatives Commissioner West yesterday
afternoon conducted Representative WASH
Ington Gardiner Of Michigan on compre-
hensive tour OF the city and outlying
county. 1t is stated that Mr.. Gardiner.
who was member of the District sub
committee In the last Congress. will again
be a member of the same committee this
year. Several sections of the city we're not
familiar to the member from Michigan
and he gladly accepted the invitation from
Commissioner West to drive about
The trip began soon after o'clock. and
1t was Commissioner Vests idea to devote
every minute until nightfall to conducting
Mr.. Gardiner through several of the out
lying suburbs to the north, northwest and
northeast of the city. Visits were made
to several police stations and fire engine
houses, and the Commissioner pointed out
the needs of these two departments, par
ticularly explaining the vast amount of
territory which must be covered by each
outside the limits of the city proper. An
other objective point was the bathing beach.
and 1t is thought that a glimpse of the
existing ramshackle structures on the shore
of the tidal basin will do much toward
forwarding the interests of the appropria-
ton of $4,000 asked for the construction
of modern series of bath houses.

LOOKING FOE A SITE.
Ancient Order Of Hibernians to Build
a Home,

The Ancient Order of Hibernians Of the
District OF Columbia. through the medium
of the district board, of which Mr.. Patrick
T. Moran is president, is negotiating for
the purchase of site In the center OF the
city. upon which 1t is proposed to erect
Hibernian Hall. The building of struc-
ture such as would adequately measure up
to the growth and development of the Hi
bernian order In the District has been con-
templated for some time. Before proceed
ing with any details the district board will
agree upon a suitable site for the structure
1t has been planned to build
The various divisions of the Hibernians
have their halls in different parts of the
city, but these halls are not large enough
to accommodate a large crowd, and when
celebrations are held special arrangements
have to be made for an auditorium. The
membership of the Hibernians in the Dis
trlct has reached 2.000 and is steadily in
creasing. There are seven main divisions
and six ladies' auxiliar;es.
President Moran, when questioned Friday
as 10 the date when the new structure Will
be built. said the plans are being speedily
pushed forward, though the district board
which will supervise the construction Of the
hail. will deliberate carefully before agree
bers of the board Is to secure if possible,
a site between 9th and 10Th streets north
west and between Pennsylvania avenue and
III street.
The District order Is said to be in a pros
porous condition financially, and will not
be embarrassed through lack of sufficient
funds.
