State Detective Hodges, who never

and took look at the stranger, and
seeing the hooks over his ears, which
held the false beard to his face, he be-
gan to look him over pretty carefully.
In response to questions, he pulled
the officer over into a corner and, in a
stage whisper, said that his wife was
inside attempting to secure a divorce
from him. He said that he assumed
the disguise so as to hear what she
said without her knowing it. After

Architects to Pass on Sites

Washington, March l5.-The presi-
dent today stole a march on Speaker
Cannon by appointing a consulta-
tive' board Of architects, with an or
der that all sites and plans for new
government buildings must be submit
construction work can proceed. The
members of the board, who are to serve
without pay, are Bernard R. Green,
chairman; Daniel H. Barnham, Charles
F. McKim, Augustus Saint Gaudens and
Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. The pres
ident s purpose is "to bring about
harmony of design in all future public
system of improvement based on the
original plans for laying out the CAPT.
tai. The examination Of the board of
architects should be confined to the
location and to the artistic effect of
the exterior of the buildings.,'
The original plans referred to were
submitted several years ago by park
Kim, Burnham and Olmstead, and con-
gress has been wcS2gling over them
ever since. They looked to the con-
struction of all government buildings
along the Mall, which extends from the
capitol to the Washington monument,
and on the squares around the White
and involved total expenditure Of
$500, 100000, the congress financial ex-
perts say.
Mr.. Cannon, first, as chairman of the
appropriation committee, and later as
speaker of the house, led the fight
against the proposed plan, and it never
was approved by either the senate or
house. The park commission went into
rapid decline and was given what
was believed to be it's death blow dur
ing the last session, when the new agri-
cultural department building, which is
to cost $2,500,000 or more, was author
lied without any reference to the
scheme for "beautiful Washington. -
Representative Wadsworth, chairman
of the agricultural committee, aided
| Speaker Cannon in his fight on the COM
mission plan and secured independ-
ent action.
Mr.. Cannon and Representative
Wadsworth will renew their fight as
soon as the next session Of congress
opens and will either abolish the new
board or tie it's hands so that it will
be powerless. The trouble will be has
tened if the board attempts to alter
the plans for the new department of
agriculture, on which work now is I'M
der way. The building is farther back
from the Mall than the commission
wanted it located, and is not Of the
