BUILDING VACATED.
Precautions Against Damage and In
Jury at Local Improyement.

Fearing that a collapse similar to that on
It'll street northwest several Saturdays ago
would occur at the building now under con-
struction on the south side Of PENNSYLVANIA
avenue near 18th street, the building in
spector and police ordered the temporary
abandonment of the adjoining building. &C.
cupied on the ground floor by the Mount
Vernon lunch room. Ropes were placed
across the sidewalk at the point and pc
destrians will be protected.
Ever since excavations began for the new
building which replaces the old one at 1905
Pennsylvania avenue, recently used as a
shooting gallery, the wall of the building on
the east has been carefully watched, and
yesterday several large cracks were discov-
cred in the wall, and 1t was seen that parts
of the wall had settled and threatened to
cave in. AS the day advanced the cracks
became larger, and Policemen Mcdonnell
and McDaniels decided to take action In the
matter.
The building inspectors office was notified
and the inspector sent to the scene, with
the result stated.
Immediate steps were taken to brace up
the building and the building work was
suspended, while props were put in place
against the threatening WALL Contractor
Schneider is directing the work.
1t is believed a collapse can be easily
avoided.

The secretary, Mr.. E. c. Ford, read his
report and the minutes of the last meet
ing. He stated that the present outlook Of

Gus campaign to secure new members for

WITHOUT FOG HORNS.
Complaint That Small Craft Do Not
Have Necessary Apparatus.

The steamboat men navigating the river
in the vicinity of this city are complaining
that the masters Of small vessels lying at
anchor In the channel in fog do not sound
the proper fog signals. In the fog early
last Thursday morning, it is said; there
were several narrow escapes from collisions
on this account The marine regulations
prescribe that every sailing vessel shall
be equipped with fog horn and bell for
use in foggy weather, and 1t is charged
that a number of vessels plying on the
Potomac are equipped with neither.
The officers of the ferry boats especially,
1t is asserted. would like to see the pontoons
and scows in the river equipped with some
sort of signaling apparatus for foggy morn
ings. The ferry boat men say that while
they know the vessels are at anchor 1t
is very difficult to locate them in a fog.
AS they are lying close to the channel
a fog signal to make their position known,
1t isspionted out, may save an accident
some morning when the weather is thick
and the steamboat man cannot see the
length Of his boat through the fog ahead.

JOHN L.. McCREERY DEAD.
at Duluth, Mimi, Las
Evening.

Officials and employees in the Office of the
assistant attorney general. Interior De-
partment. were greatly shocked to learn
last evening of the death, in Duluth. Mimi.
of John L. McCreery, who had been con-
nected with the office for more than a
quarter of a century and was known
throughout the country for his literary
ability. He died suddenly after an opera
ton for appendicitis. He was in his sew
enty-first year.
Mr.. McCreery had gone in good health to
Duluth to attend the national G. A. r. en-
campment. His wife and two daughters
Mrs. Arthur B. Sperry of Pittsburg and
Miss Flora McCreary-accompanie him,
and were present at his death.
Aside from the information that the body
will be brought to this city for interment,
which was contained in brief telegram
received by one of the employees of the In
terror Department this morning. nothing
is known here of the plans for the funeral.
Mr.. McCreery was pioneer editor in the
middle western states. He was born in
Allegany county. N. Y, where his boy
hood was spent but in early manhood he
went to Iowa and published the Duluth
Herald, one of the first papers west of the
Mississippi river.
Later he entered upon his official life
and soon gained the confidence of his as
sociates to a marked degree. He was ap-
pointed to the office of the assistant attor-
ney general In the Interior Department
from Iowa law clerk and during his
long service there added greatly to the vol
ume Of important decisions rendered by
that Office.
Mr.. McCreary was a man of wide reading
and culture. He was student of social
and political economy and became known
as an expert in those branches of study.
He was also ready speaker and gifted
with fund of wit and humor.
His national reputation as a poet was
gained chiefly through the volume which he
md 1asnh InI
Songs Of Toll and Triumph" The famous
poem There is No DEATH which has since
been put to use In many hymn books and
In the rituals of several secret societies, was
In his collection. This one production has
secured for the author a permanent place
In the poetfcal productions of this country
He did other literary work and wrote con-
siderably for the press.
The loss of Mr.. McCreery is deeply felt in
the Interior Department. His former asso-
ciates will attend the funeral services prob
ably In body and in this manner express
the respect which they have for his MEM
