Projected once Building for the

The architectural details Of the new Of

tlves are being rushed to completion by a
corps Of draughtsmen under the direction
Of Superintendent Woods. The general
plan was completed some time ago. These
detail plans, according to the Washington
Star show many features Of beauty in the
building which are likely to test the claim
that the library OF congress is the hand
soonest building OF the capital city. Indeed
In some respects the main entrance OF the
office building which will be at the corner
of New Jersey avenue and r street is
likely to prove one Of the most beautiful
architectural examples Of the kind that
can be found anywhere in the world This
is the entrance that will be used chiefly
by both visitors to the building and by
representatives who will have Offices there
or who will go to the Office building to at
tend caucauses or other party gatherings
in the big conference room that has been
provided.

Upon entering this door the visitor will

beautiful rotunda ffty-seven feet in diam

This rotunda will be formed by arches on
the basement floor but breaking into col

the Corinthian order These columns will
be OF stone, probably of white marble, and
will rise to a height Of nearly twenty-five

A striking feature of the rotunda en-

Immediately he gets within The rotuuda.

The big hall is far beyond the needs OF
the house, although it allows a large gal
lery space for the public to gather and
watch their Legislators at work. But when
half of the house gathers in republican or
democratic conferences no visitors are per-
mitted to be present. Then the hall is alto
gether too large for comfort. For this rea-
son the conference room OF the ONCE build
ing will be doubly welcome to the members.
It will have five large windows looking out
on the interior court, which is to be ls ID
out in attractive style. II will be fifty-four
feet wide by eighty-siX feet long, and will
seat about $50 people. That will be ample
for purposes OF conferences of either party
as the present membership of the house is
only 1856.
The conference room will be as much at
the disposition Of one party as the other.
Adjoining this room on either side are party
meeting rooms, one for the democrats and
one for the republicans. They are twenty
five by fifty feet In dimensions, and they
will serve as headquarters for each party.
There is absolutely no difference in them,
and II is not yet known which will be oc-
cupied by the republicans and which by
the democrats. They, like the conference
hall will have windows looking into the
interior court.

has had but one large room in which meet
ings of any kind could be held That has
been the hall OF the house of representa-

as a caucus, has been held there The hall
has always been criticised because Of the
difficulty in hearing on account of its great
size. When Speaker Reed was presiding
over the house he considered seriously a
project for reducing the size OF the hah by
cutting 1t exactly in half He was inclined
TO the idea that IL the hall was half of its
present size benches for members, such as
are used in the British parliament, could
accommodate all Of them and allow the
conduct of debates with much less diffi-

thing that is said in the hall. The size
Of the hall now makes 1t extremely difficult
to follow debates except when a member
with an unusually good voice is speaking,
1t would Also in his opinion. do much to
guarantee the keeping Of better order in

PFElFFER
new York Police In Hot Chase oil
Joseph Gernrd.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Following
closely upon the classification of the
victim of the Haunted Oak" mystery
IN the Bronx as Augusta Pfelffer came
a clew that points to Joseph Gerard, a
truckman. missing since last Thurs
day, as the murderer. A general alarm
has been sent out for him.
Gerard lived close to the spot in the
woods alongside Pelham road, where
the body was found. He is known to
have been in that vicinity on Wedncs-
day night when the murdered girl was
about there. On Thursday morning he
left his boarding house and his land
lady found in his a pile of blood
stained clothing.
From what has been learned of her
movements on Wednesday evening the
police have pieced together the theory
Of her murder, but there are points
that remain to be cleared up. I'm
doubtedly the girl was attacked on
Wednesday night in the woods near
the Haunted Oak" but the autopsy
revealed that she did not die until
about fifteen or eighteen hours before
the body was found on Saturday after
noon. Coroner O'Gorman furnished an
explanation for this discrepancy.
Il do not believe the girl was killed
outright" he said. Il think she was
rendered unconscious, and the brute
who attacked her dragged her body
into the bushes and hid it, thinking
she was dead. Probably she lay there
all of Thursday. and Friday unable to
now or make an cutlery, and the MUIR
derer returned Friday night to look
at his victim. Finding her alive he
finished her"
The home of Augusta Pfeiffer was
within POO yards of the spot in which
she met her death. She lived up to a
month ago with her mother, two broth
ers, two sisters and a s%tepfather.

FIRE UNDER TRESTLE
is STILL BURNING
Peculiar Subterranean Smouldering
Blaze in Embankment Across
Low Lands Near Elizabeth.

Omcials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad are still puzzled and baffled
by a peculiar subterranean fire which
has been burning for several months
along the line of a wooden trestle
crossing the Arthur Kills, below Ell
izabethport. The engineering depart
ment is trying to devise means of eX-
tinguishing it, without tearing away
the railroad embankment, an under
taking that would require much time
and be very expensive.
That something must be done,
however, they are now practically
agreed upon, as the fire seriously
menances the stability of the entire
wooden structure, starting from a
point near the beginning of the trest-
lie, which forms the western approach
to the big steel drawbridge that
spans the Kills to Staten Island, to
a point nea the crossing of the Penn
sylvania railroad in Linden township,
a distance of about three miles. Yes
terday bursts of flame could plainly
be seen at intervals issuing from the
old wooden sleepers that were used
to wall up the sides of the embank-
ment.
