The committee urged the necessity of plac-

such organizations as could furnish audi
ences. These lectures cost the committee
about ST or 81 each. but the committee
feels very strongly that this educational
campaign must continue regardless of cost,

said that thus far there had been raised by

strongly that thus the finance campaign
might be made less active.

Dr. D. Percy Hickling read an article
showing that the death rate from tuberculo-
sis had been greatly reduced in Germany
during the past few years on account Of
the preventive and constructive measures
which had been taken in that country. He
said that the work of the Washington COM
mittee was mapped upon the work being
done not only In all other American cities
h3it abroad as we'll, and that by thor
ohghly live campaign there seemed to be
no reason why equally encouraging figures
could not be brought before the citizens
of Washington in the course of a few years.

NOTES OF THE LOCAL
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN

National Guard of the District of Columbia
and that of Mai Alfred P. Robbins as in
spector general. District Columbia militia.
The general order issued last Thursday
consolidating the I'd Separate Battalion Sd
Separate Battalion and the 4th Separate
Battalion as the LIST Regiment was unex-
pected. The understanding had been that
the new regiment would not be organized
prior to next fall However, 1t was deem
ed advisable to consolidate the three sep
arate battaIions mentioned. and take them
into camp as q properly oficered regiment.
The order of consolidation has awakened
interest and the belief is that the LIST, I'd
and Sd battalions, as they are now desig-
mated. will at once make a squirt.
The nomination OF Major Ourand to be
colonel and that of Major Reichelderfer to
be lieutenant colonel of the new regiment
were not unexpected. Although the tender
OF the Office has been made the nomination
of major of the I'd Battalion win be post
poned until after camp. The officers who
served so efficiently adjutant. surgeon
and quarternaster of the former list Regi-
ment. win fulfili similar duties with tho
new command.
As basis for the expectation that the 1st
Regiment will move rapidly to the fore, Il
Reichelderfer may be depended on to make
things interesting for every officer and man
of the organization.

Landmark Recalling Days Of the Old
City Hall Lot.

There Is a landmark in Washington"
said man who, for many years, lived in
near proximity to the City Hall. that
presume very few people have noticed. and
thousands of citizens pass the spot every
day"
In explanation of this he said: 'If ono

angle of the old temple OF justice his eye
will note double row of trees facing each
other with almost mathematical precision
and crossing the park diagonally from just
where Louisiana avenue joins Indiana ave-
nue. and leading to the northeast corner
Of 9Th and E streets. Between these old
arbored sentinels. whose branches inter-
mingie, there is a sunken road--an tndenta-
ton in the ground-which represents
pathway In the old city hall lot. as 1t was
called In former days. 1t is very slight. OF
course, but not so superficial as to defy
recognition.
''In the days before the reconstruction
OF Washington under the Shepherd regime.
this old pathway was a place to be avoided
on dark nights and pedestrians who used
IL in the glare OF daylight were wont to
shun 1t when the pail OF darkness spread
over the city and take to the middle OF the
street. Several persona have been robbed
In that now extinct pathway and one muir
der is known to have been committed
there The victim was young man named
Campbell. member of well-known WASH
ington family. who was fallen upon by
thugs In those times. 1t was during the
early period OF the war that this occurred.
s.The evidence Of that old-time pathway
has not been obiiterated. The sunken road
cen be detected by any keen eye"

Mr.. Sanner's Home.
The residence of Mr.. Franklin T. Sanner
at the southwest corner of 18th street and
Columbia road has the good fortune to be
on a site that Is unusually spacious for a
city house. The lawn on the east side with
the double porches. which are in measure
recessed, give a character to the place which
is very attractive. Although the house is
double one and therefore takes up con-
siderable space still there Is room on all
sides so that ii stands entirely detached
square porch at the main entrance with
the roof supported by pillars adds to the
colonial treatment which has been used so
effectively by the architect. Mr.. Simmons.
The spaciousness of the surroundings OF
the house are farther enhanced by the fact
that it adjoins on the north the residence
of Mr.. Edward J. Stellwagen, which also
has a lawn on the east side.

IN forcing open strong rooms of all sorts.
The elaborate report Of the committee. IL
iustrated with photographers, contained dia-
grams and plans Of vaults: also descriptions
and names of some of the most effective ex-
plosives available for bank burglary. The
report was given out for distribution. and
Immediately a great hue and cry arose
against the circulation of government
guide to successful burglary" This clamor
became so great that further distribution
was prohibited. The conclusion OF the COM
mission was that no vault or safe in the
world could resist skilled professional
cracksmen undisturbed In their work. These
misguided genfuses were found to keep pace
with every advance made by the safe and
vault manufacturers. whose every new In
vention in armament. locks and other safety
appliances was being met with new burglar
appliances for drilling. boring, forcing or
fusing. by hydraulic pressure, electricity,
liquid explosives and what not. Some of the
most perfectly constructed safes were
opened before the committee with no other
aid than common bicycle pump and a bot
tie of nitroglycerin capable of concealment

legged to have been made by one Martin

the eighties. He excited suspicion by
haunting the vaults when open to Wis
itors. also the river banks near the out
let of the 10Th street sewer, which lines
the treasury's foundation. At the point
where 1T passes the building the sewer is
nine feet In diameter, and Broadfoot's
scheme was supposed to include an en-
trance to the sewer at the river and q
passage up 1t with the aid of rubber
boots and lantern. He is said to have
measured the distance between q GER
tain turn in the sewer and the founda-
tions of the Treasury in the corner where
lay the basement vaults CONTAINING the
nations gold and silver bullion, coined and
uncoined. About twenty feet OF earth and
a stone wall two feet thick were then to be
tunneled through until was reached a point
directly under a vault The earth exca-
waited was to be washed down the river by
the current of the sewer. and the tunneling
through the wall would have required about
month. This being accomplished and the
vault floor bored through at an hour when
the great strong room was tightly locked
for the night. gold bars were to be sent
down the sewer while tied to rubber floats,
cleyerly devised. After Broadfoot's arrest
he refused to utter a word of explanation
but In his room was discovered a large
quantity of peculiar rubber bags. each a
foot square and with an air nozzle for in

to trial, and many officials of the treas
