The committee in charge Of the con-
struction of the new office building for the

present. The general plans of the building
were discussed. Nothing was definitely
determined at the morning session of the

lions under consideration related to the
nature of the material that is to be used
in the construction of the building. Both
granite and white marble have been dis
cussed for that use There was general
desire to have white marble. AS the House
Office building is to be of white marble
many are In favor of having the two
structures uniform as to materials, as they
are as to general design and location.
Senators Cullom. chairman, and Senator
Gallinger of the committee were present.
Senator Teller is the third member of the
committee, but he is not in the city. SEN
ator Cullom and Senator Gallinger expect
