WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The an
Rual fan cleaning at the White House

innovation has been introduced in re-
iorilg tie Executive Mansion to its
istine whiteness by a course Of
ubbing and washing instead OF
ailting the exterior Every two or
ifee years the White House has to
Re painted white, and this item is of
considerable expense to Uncle Sam.
Il costs nearly $1,000 to give the ex.
sior Of the Presidents home a suf'
tIent coating OF white paint to make
Il pFesentable, This year the super
itendent Of buildings has tried the
method Of scrubbing and washing the
house instead Of painting 1t. For
number Of days past workmen with
Buckets Of soap suds and large scrub
Bing brushes have been standing on
adders washing down the walls and
ne cornlces Of the house. The i'm.
diense poFtico and cochere Of the
0nse has been under the process of
eleansing and workmen on the tall
5ders have been cleaning the i'm.
mense pillars not only with the brush,
BIT with the hose. The capitals of
hese pillars are elaborate in their
irving, and the dust Of several years
ms made them almost black But
Fong stream Of water from hose has
been poured upon these pillars and
pitals and they are now as white as
they had received a liberal coating
- paint, There are several spots,
hdReyeri on the front Of the house
where the paint is so badly worn of

and paint, for water and soap would

Who win assemble here in Novem-

Capitol Congress hitherto has al

providing towels, soap and other tot

articles about the Capitol. But for
sUme reason unknown, perhaps abb

RtMSHACKIE TENEMENT ABLAZE
Fire in Four story Rear Building Gives the
E1remen Lots TO DO.

At p Cherry street there IL rear tene-
nent. reached from the street through a
hole in the wall. The tenement is four
stories high and is fianked on the left by
an ancient wooden building. The tene-
ment caught fire yesterday morning about
o'clock and gave the fremen hard fight.
Policeman Laughlln OF the Oak street
station, who sent in an alarm. found that
the fire had started on the first floor. Smoke
filed all the upper floors and prevented
escape by the narrow stairways.
IauRhln was joined by Roundsman
Glynn and Policemen Cohen and Rocklan.
They climbed along the fire escapes and
began handing down the old men, women
and children who crowded the windows.
There we're fourteen families in the tene
ment.
From the top floor they rescued Joseph
Mende his wife Mary, and their one year
old child Francesca. The three were passed
down the fire escape in safety and then
the GODS tried the floor below, where they
found Mike Randall, 90 years old, and his
wife, Mary. As the policemen were about
TO leave some one shouted up that Mary
Devaney, an old woman. was still on the
third floor. One Of the men fought his way
through the smoke and found the woman
lying unconscious on the floor. She was
carried down and sent to Hudson street
hospital. Nicola Corona. IS years old,
tried to make his way from the second
floor unaided. but became blinded by the
smoke and fell. He landed in a large heap
Of snow which had bothered the firemen,
but proved his salvation.
A number Of women and children were
passed across TO "a Cherry street. Many
escaped in this way. The building was
wreck before the fire was under control.
During the fire some excited tenant
threw from an upper window a bag of coal
that landed on Fireman John Cess. De
was taken TO the Hudson street hospital,
much bruised but not badly injured.
The burned building is owned by Mrs.
j. W. Rockefeller Of Asbury Park, n. j.

Joseph Finn. IS years old. OF eos First

said that he did not know his assailants

0DELL WOULD GUST PARSONS
Both as District Leader and Congressman
Maybe lie Can't.

William HRlpin, president OF the New
York Republican county committee by
the grace of Chairman Odell of the State
committee. has decided. II was announced
Yesterday by his friends. to attempt to
dethrone Representative Herbert Parsons
"a Republican leader OF the Twenty fifth
Assembly district Mt tho primaries in Sep
TENDER. Mr.. Halpin, in order to carry
out his programme as directed by Chair
man Odell before he left for Europe has
hitched up combination with Assembly
man Ezra P Prentice of the Twenty fifth
district, who in return. should the trick
be turned by which Parsons is dethroned
"a leader Of the district. is TO be nominated
in 1908 for Congress In place Of Slr. Par
sons
Representative Parsons's friends said
at the Glsey House last night that they
were alive to the recent frequent CON
ferencea between Mr.. Halpin and Mr.,
Prentice, that they still recalled the efforts
OF Chairman Odell to beat Mr.. Parsons as
leader of the district at the primaries last
September and that they werc even now
ready for the fray next September. They
said that Mr. Odell had not been fond OF
Mr. Parsons since the latter wrested the
leadership OF the district from McDougall
Hawkes.. who. as Mayor Lows Dock Com
missioner and tho friend Of Mr.. Odell, saw
TO il that Mr. Odell's steamboat company
secured the pier lease which caused 40
much criticism at the time. Mr.. Parsons,
they said. has been altogether too indie
pendent in his political utterances to please
Mr.. Odell and Mr.. Halpin.
The plans OF Odell and Halpin to unhoTse
Parsons IA leader OF the distnct it was
said. might involve President Roose-
Welt and Gov. Higgins. who are especially
friendly TO Parsons Those at the Gilsey
House who talked about President Roose-
welt and Gov. Higgins taking hand in the
fight for Parsons admitted that this could
not and would not be done openly, for the
reason that such a course would be con-
trary TO local political methods.
Parsons has made a name FOR himself
in local Republican politics. according to
his friends because Of his abilities as
leader and a speaker and because he has
not believed that his place in the party
gave him the right TO engineer schemes for
private graft.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-03-06

Odes card index system scheme last fall
which cost $4,000, was n fat failure, for the
reason that after all the hubbub concerning
illegal voters only siSty-fve names we're
stricken from the registry lists by the courts
Eminent Republicans. AS well as eminent
Democrats after careful investi CATION,
have given testimony that the elections
in New York city are as honest and fair
as in any city in the United States. but Odell
and Halpin hope TO get through bill at
Albany giving Morgan ffty-hve additional
places-salaries from 5000 down-besdes
providing for 200 special deputies at IS day.
The Law provides that there shall be 600
regular deputies, 300 for each party.
Then also, If Odell and Halpin have their
way there IL 10 be new system of register
ing the voters. the voters being compelled
70 sign their names; and in addition to all
this Senator Elsberg, at the behest Of Odell
and Halpin has introduced bill that no
moro than 400 electors shall live in an cleo
ton district in New York city, instead of
$50, IA at present. Senator Elsberg's bill
on this matter would cost the taxpayers an
additional $4,000, and 1t Ia this constant
drain on the taxpayers that is becoming
more and more irritating, especially TO the
citizens of New York who already pay
more than rs per cent. OF the taxes OF the
State II is admitted by nearly all Republi
cans that the four aqueduct commissioners.
who receive s.. 600 a year each. could very
easily be dispensed with, as their places
anu looked upon as nothing but sinecures.
All told 10 was estimated that useless places
so far as benefits to the people are concerned
have been created or maintained under
Odell which now cost the State $500 900 a
year.
But many OF these matters will be taken
up later on by Republicans who say that
unless some drastic measures are taken TO
prevent the constant legislation against
New York city and TO undo the grating
work Of the Odell State machine the Re-
publican city ticket next fall and the Re-
publican State ticket next year will certainly
be swamped
No newspaper article could adequately
portray the unpleasant talk heard among
the Republicans yesterday. They said the
party was still suffering from the Oden
regime Of graft and that the Odell trium-
virate at Albany. especially Senator Malby
and Senator Raines, would not be per-
mitted to make further disturbances for
the party. Gov. Higgins's friends reoog-
nize the situation and feel it keenly, and II
Is their opinion that there must be thor
ough house cleaning If the Republicans are
TO have any success in the city next fall or
in the State next year The better ele-
ment of the party, they say. has become
nauseated by the graft systems which have
sprung up during the Odell ascendenoy
and not only Is Odell TO be retired az State
chairman next year. but Halpin Is TO be
boosted out next December az president OF
the New York county committee.
