LOOK IN SAKS STORES
FOR BEST MEMS SUITS

Geography has no influence on the
character of a fabric. That IL was woven
in England or by some much-heralded
mill at home. does not insure the seat of
your trousers from the inevitable penal
ty cf service"
This paragraph. which is only a very
small part of decidedly novel and inter
esting little book. written by Andrew
Saks, of Saks & Co, serves as q fitting
illustration of the educational work at
tempted in the volume. The book,
which goes under the title The Means
to Serve the End" is profusely illus
tions required to turn out q Saks suit,
to convince his readers that it is not the
name of an Old mill which they should
stand by in selecting cloth for their
suits. but that this task should be left
TO the skilled judgment of the men who
can be employed only by the big depart
ment house.
Another novelty explained in the space
between the pictures, concerns the or
ganiZation of the Saks workrooms in
New York. where whole floor is given
up to the tailormen who turn out each
class of suit for men.
IF a man apply himself to the per-
fiction of some given thing the very
nature of his work will make of him a
specialist and master of that specific
phase of his craft" says the writer, who
goes on to declare that every Saks
garment expresses the talent of seven
specialists.

CONTRACTOR PROTESTS
AWARD OF CONTRACT
Secretary of War Called Upon to Pro-
tect Rights of Bidder for Mess
Hall.

formal protest has been lodged with
Secretary Taft, complaining of the ac-
ton of the board of commissioners of
the Soldiers Home in rejecting the bid
OF j. c. Robinson, a Chicago contractor
whose bid for the construction of the
proposed new me- rble mess hail. opened
March S. was the lowest received.
1t is declared n the protest, which Is
filed by former Senator James X Jones.
attorney for Robinson, that the board
of construction threw out the first lot of
bids made by fourteen contractors, and
authorized Colonel Summerhayes, the
army officer in charge of construction,
to enter into private percentage" bids
with few selected contractors, in vio-
lation of the statutes regarding the ex-
penditure of public money and the laws
regulating the construction of public
buildings. 1t is further claimed in the
protest now under consideration by the
Secretary of War that the lowest bid
offered by Mr.. Robinson was s743, 900.
and that the lowest bid received under
the substitute plan was s7S2, 800.
As a result of the controversy which
| has grown out of the proposed construc-
ton of the building, it is regarded as
probable that work on the new mess
hall will be greatly delayed.
The board of construction in charge Of
the proposed work will hold n meeting
within the next few days, and IL is
thought that all of the bids so far re.
ceived will be rejected and new bids
advertised for.

They Place Cabalistic Sign on Hotel
Register When Traveling-Was
Formed Last Year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April lion the
register of the Great Southern Hotel is
the name of +. c. Scott and opposite
the signature is a cabalistic emblem. 1t
is a circle, within which is a capital H,
with figure above and a below the
crossbar of the letter. The clerks and
bystanders were wondering what that
meant when ]. p Hayden, of this city,
explained il.
1T stands for the Homeless 26.'' Mr..
Hayden said. 'On Thanksgiving Day
1904, a number of travelling men were at
the Colonial Hotel in Pittsburg. None of
them could go home. and it was sug-
gested that they have a dinner together.
The dinner followed and there were just
twenty-six homeless men at the table.
THE order was started at the meeting.
The purpose of the order is to promote
among commercial, business and profes-
sional men acquaintance and good fell
lowship. 1t provides a burial fund of
$3.50 for each member. Any commercial.
business or professional man between
the ages of eighteen and sixty is eligible

Continental Hall is today in the hands

duStriously to get the building into

More than fifty workmen are busy at

congress comes together on Monday Its
delegates cannot fail TO be pleased with
the progress of the building.
The auditorium will have glass roof
1t was expected this would be put in
place for the congress, but In some way
the skyIights have been sidetracked on
the way from the factory and will not be
brought to Washington in time So a
temporary roof has been constructed.
Floors Boarded Over.
The cement floor of the auditorium and
stage have been boarded over. Work
men are putting the finishing touches
to the ratings about the galleries.
Every room in the building will be
equipped for the reception of delegates
and visitors Flags will form a frieze

and will also be draped about the box
es and ratings. Every bit of space
of the rough interior which is not cover
ed with a flag will be draped in cream
cloth.
A large flag will be drawn across the

tell from observation that the hall is
not completed. Garlands of greens viii
be festooned about the walls and gal
leries of the auditorium and through
the corridors of the building.

Comanche for Guide.

1t was about daylight yesterday when
the President was awakened by Burnett.
Behind him stood a melancholy Indian.
This Is joe said the big ranchman
heartily. Hes locoed, l guess, but a
mighty hunter. He says he'll find you a
wolf for breahast-no plains coyote
just plain timber gray. Joe's been in the
woods all night. the way he looks.
The President was in his rough duds
almost by this time. and got out his
heavy calibre. but the Indian grunted
disapproval and said something to the
ranchman.
Not that" Burnett interpreted Its
going TO be long shot. Take the sport
ing rife. Joe's all right, is Joe. That
whole Indian camp would die for you"
Then, before all camp was awake. be-
hold the Great White Father, and a
locoed Comanche taking the up trail on
the lope. Whether in compliment to the
Presidents known prowess. or in defer
ence to the old Indian tradition that nc
arms meant peace. the half dressed
Comanche didn't even carry knife.
The stalking lasted two hours and the
quarry was landed far from camp. The
wolf was mauling at deer il apparent
~ had torn down. but the whole Jealous
camp swears the deer's throat had been
cut and the Comanche baited the big
gray timber terror.

With Alarm y
TW0REs0LUTIONS PROPOSED
Mr.. Sowerbutts Carries Day-Police
Regulations Better Than Decalogue,
Says Major Burke.


Resolved. by the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association in regular
meeting assembled, That we view with
alarm the attempt now being made TO
enforce religious instruction in the put-
lie schools
The above is the tenor of a resolution
adopted last night at the monthly meet
ing of the Northeast Washington Citi-
zens Association By a viva voce vote
after considerable sharp parliamentary
ma1euvering. The measure was intro
duced by Secretary Sowerbutts as an
amendment to and to counteract an
other resolution previously offered by F.
ID. Foster, chairman of the committee
on schools.
This resolution was also supported by
W. G. Lang and Dr. Starr Parsons,
members of the committee, and attempt
ed to place the association on record in
favor of "the teaching OF morals in our
public schools-moraIs founded upon the
ethics of the Christian religion, devoid
of all dogmas and creeds.''
Speak for Resolutions.
Both Mr.. Foster and Mr. Sowerbutts
spoke in behalf of their resolutions.
Through DR.. L. D. Walters motion to
lay the resolutions on the table, debate
on the Foster proposition was about to
be cut off entirely, since Mr. Sower-
butts resolution had not been seconded
and subject to motion to table it
At this point Josiah MilIard protested
vigorously against being deprived of d
right to express his opinion in this man
ner and the motion TO table the resolu-
tions was withdrawn. Mr. Millard held
that the Bible should be taught every
day in the public schools
Mr. Dunn expressed his regret that the
association had undertaken to consider
the subject, but opposed the proposed
religious instruction. Likewise had MAJ.
j. b. Burke, who declared the police
regulations to be bett.r than the Ter
Commandments Lorink ChappelI added
his voice to the opposition to religious
instruction.
At this iuncture the motion to lay the
Foster resolution on the table was re-
newed and carried by a vote of 10 TO S.
MIR. Sowerbutts' resolution was then
triumphant.
Forgotten in Excitement.
For once the associations favorite
subject of debate was overshadowed. In
