NEW OFFICE BUILDING
CARNEGIE INSTITUTION TO
BUILD ONE IN NORTHWEST.

An Office building for the Carnegie 1nsti-
tuition is to be erected in this city during
the coming months. AS preparatory to this
change a spacious building site has been
secured, comprising the southeast corner
of 10th and P streets northwest. The total
frontage of the ground on 18th street is
127 feet with a depth of 100 feet on P street:
According to deeds placed on file yester-
day. two of the lots were bought from
Mary A. Calhoun and two from Charles s.
Hillyer. The consideration for the entire
property was something less than S. per
square foot.
Beyond acquiring this property with the
purpose of erecting there a building that
will be suitable an administration build
ing, the Carnegie Institution has made no
plans.
The kind of structure that is to be put
there and it's cost are both matters that
are yet to be determined.
At the present time the institution is oc-
cupyng suite of offices in the Bond build
ing, but it has been decided that 1t would
be well to have its own home and this
purchase of a site is the first step in what
will be a handsome Improvement to the
city and at the same time will AFFORD the
institution the facilities that it needs in
carrying on it's work that now extends to
all parts of the country.

MERIT ONLY TOGOVERN
THE PosrMAsrER GENERALS AN
NouNcEMENT TO EMPLOYEES

Open-shop principles are to apply in the
Post Office Department. Postmaster Gen.
eral Cortelyou has issued q statement to
all employees announcing that although
there is no objection to their forming
unions. both fraternal and beneficiary. their
first loyalty is expected by the department.
Employees are reminded that their relations
to the public are particularly close and that
in rewards. advancements and increases of
salary personal merit and individual serv-
ice alone will be considered. They are
warned TO keep out of politics and assured
that post office appointments are not to
be considered as rewards for political serv-
ice.
The communication to the employees was
prepared by Acting Postmaster General
Shallenberger under the direction of Mr..
Cortelyou. The announcement says In part:
1.-THE postal service should be a business
institution. 1t cannot be made such III
other considerations than merit govern In
the discipline Of its force. Postmasters hold
a peculiarly important relation to the COM
munities in which they live. They are d.
rect representatives Of the department.
Their service reflects credit or discredit
upon it. They should serve the interests
Of all the people of their communities with
out regard to political, social or business
affiliations.
This does not mean that they are divest-
ed of their rights as citizens. They would
be UNIT for their positions II they did not
take q proper interest in public affairs; but
a proper interest in public affairs, as a
matter of course, bars them from partici-
patton in factional differences or any other
political action that would bring discredit
upon the service or show a lack OF appre-
citation Of their relation to 1t. !"

OPPOSES LONG MARCHES
VIEWS SUBMITTED IN GENERAL
McCAsKEY's REPORT.

Long marches in the infantry branch of
the army, as provided for in recent orders
pertaining to annuai camps of instruction,
are disapproved by Brig. Gen. William s.
McCaskey commanding the southern d.
vision, in his annual report to the War De-
partment. The recent orders, he says, will
have a decided and disastrous effect upon
fe-enlistments. Commenting upon the gen.
eral dissatisfaction Gen. McCaskey says:
THE practice marches as now ordered,
and the prospect of a repetition of this sum-
mer's long encampments, and the extended
marches incident thereto, are looked upon
as an unnecessary hardship. American
soldiers are thinking men, and reason to
the effect that while any hardship that is
necessary Will be endured, those not neces-
sary will be avoided. 1t is believed that the
infantry soldier upon re-enlistment will be
found in the coast artillery.
Il am of the opinion that camps OF In
struction as now conducted are too long IN
duration. Three weeks in camp should be
sufficient. Marches should be less than 1OO
miles; anything beyond this is unnecessary
and is disapproved of by the majority Of Of
ficers and men whom l have interviewed
on the subject
Restoration of the canteen feature of the
post exchange is recommended by Gen.
McCaskey. He says it Is the beiief OF the
men that the law is an interference with
their personal rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, and that the law, II submitted
ted to the Supreme Court Of the United
States, would be regarded as unconstltu-
tional
Gen. McCaskey further recommends that
on account of the large amount OF STOCK
carried by the post exchanges the carrying
of fire insurance should be made ooilga-
tory.

PRINTERS TRANSFERRED.
Specification Division Of Government
Printing Office Moved

Advantage was taken of the recent holiday
to remove the printing paraphernalia of the
specification division from the old govern
ment printing office building to the fifth
floor Of the new structure. The typesetting
machines handling the patent printing have
been in the new location for some months,
the proofreading, makeup and imposing
being done in the old building. With the re-
moval of this the last force of printers has
been transferred from the old printing Of
flee.
There are more employees assigned to the
fifth floor of the printery, it is said, than
division and proof room occupy the same
space as formerly, but the fifth, gazette
and specification divisions are being better
fitted to conform to the requirements OF
their work The removal and adjustment
of furniture and racks creates considerable
confusion, but the regular work Is going
on as if nothing out of the ordinary was
taking place, and it is thought that the
employees will soon become accustomed to
close quarters.
The fifth floor at the printery now has
complete arrangements for handling the
product of the 100 Lanston and the 80 Mer-
genthaler typesetting machines. The inten-
ton is said to be to make this floor the
composing department of the office. Mr..
Stillings has announced that as soon as
everything is running smoothly he Will
start night forces to be alternated with the
day sets, which will enable the operators
to earn an advance of 20 per cent in their
pay.
Mr.. Jesse Grant, assistant foreman OF the
fifth division, has returned from vacation
spent at Atlantic City.

CONFLICTING STORIES.
Policeman Declares Woman Attempted
Suicide-Husband Thinks Differently.

MISUNDERSTANDING THINKS U1uerently.
BY knocking bottle of carbilic acid out
of the hand of Mrs. Dorothy L. Williams,
twentyseven years old, living at 341 Bry-
ant street northwest last night, Policeman
Delavigne of the eighth pecinct saved the
woman's life. After the officer had thus
interfered he sent the woman to the Freed
mems Hospital. where the burns inflicted
by the acid were treated and she was after
ward removed to the home of her sister,
Pauline Benson, at 341 Bryant street, where
she has been making her home. Mrs. Will
liams and her husband, in explaining the
affair, state that she was attacked by an
unknown person last night, who thew the
burning liquid into her face.
According to the story related by Police
records, he noticed Mrs. Williams enter
ing Howard University Park about O clock
last evening, and knowing she did not live
in that vicinity he determined to watch
her. He followed for a considerable dis
lance until they nearly reached the con-
struction work for the new Freedmen S
Hospital.
Mrs. Williams put bottle to her lips and
turn 1t up, If she was drinking. He
rushed to her, he says, and knocked the
bottle from her hand, thus preventing her
from drinking any more of the contents.
Let me go home; / won't drink any MORE
was what he says she told him. He how
ever. saw that she was terribly burned
about the mouth, breast and shoulders and
he determined to take her to, Freedmen's
Hospital, which he did.
To the police the husband of the woman
who has recently not been living with his
wife, stated that he believed she had been
attacked by some one. He said his wife
had received some letters from some un-
known person threatening to poison her,
and the husband states that he believes
that the person attempted to carry out
these threats last night. Mrs. Williams
has three children.

TERROR OF ANACoSTIA.
Reputation Given to Herbert Crutct
lv by Policeman Brown.

''This Is the terror Of Anacostia," said Po-
liceman Brown in the Police Court this
morning, when Herbert Crutchly was be-
fore Judge ONeal, charged with profanity
and disorderly conduct.
There was a lawn party in Anacostia last
evening, according to witnesses, ant
everything was going along in fine shape
until Crutchly put in an appearance. The
man who was on the gate stated that
Crutchly did not pay any attention to him
when asked to pay, but Just walked in. -
small boy who was in attendance was
sent to call policeman, it was stated, and
when Crutchly found what his mission was
he jumped the fence and after catching up
with the boy, gave the kid a drubbing."
This was more than the management could
stand for and the policeman was hastily
summoped. He placed Crutchly under ar
rest.
After the evidence had been concluded
Judge O'Neal gave one of the heaviest pen
alties possible for profanity-$3O fine, or, in
default, ninety days In Jail.
When the trial had been concluded
Crutchly's father made his way to the
stand and told the court that he had made
arrangements for the son to go into the
navy in the hope that he would become a
better man, but the court said it would
be good thing for the boy to go to jail for
awhile, and after that it would la time to
talk about the navy.

POISONING NOT FATAL
GEORGE B. MATHEWS RECEIVERS
AT EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

Suffering from poisoning caused by swal-
lowing thirty-six tablets of strychnfne,
George B. Matthew'S forty-five years old.
an artist living at 1920 New York avenue
northwest, was removed to the Emergency
Hospital about $3.50 o'clock last night.
Prompt remedies administered by DIR. c. S.
White removed the poison from the mans
system and his life was saved. The dose
was SO large that it caused emesis, but the
poison was of sufficient amount to kill sew
eral people If taken in smaller quantities.
Mr.. Matthews was able to leave the hos
pital today.
The artist has been suffering from a
nervous trouble. and physician had rec
commended that he take some strychnine.
He was cautioned, 1t Is said, to take only
one tablet at time and to make the doses
eight hours apart.
Last night, however, after getting the
tablets, Mr.. Matthews took the number
stated at one dose When he realized that
he had not taken the poison according to
directions he telephoned to the physician
attending him. When the doctor arrived
he saw the empty box on the table and
found Mr.. Matthews in agony.
The physician applied some simple reme-
dies and then sent in call for the ambu-
lance from the Emergency Hospital.
Mr. Matthews has painted many pictures
which have won admiration. Recently, 1t
is said, he received an order for some work
for the jamestown exposition.
