Accompanied by Mgr Denis O'Con-
nell. Of the Catholic University, and

sion House, Mgr. Diomede Falconlo
yesterday entered his new home at 1871
Biltmore street, which, from now on
will be the headquarters of the apos-
tolic delegate
Simplicity and dignity are the most
striking points of the structure, as the
delegate believes little elegance should
adorn the home Of an ecclesiastic. Even
frescoed walls in the Railways are not
altogether tasteful to him, although
they are by no means extravagant.
Large rooms. exceptionally wide hall
ways, high ceilings, and a great ma
hogany staircase make the building ap-
pear a trifie bare without complete IN
terror furnishings.
The style of the Italian Renaissance
architecture has been adopted by the
designer of the building, A o. Won
plan of simplicity.
The residence is on a large lot in
Biltmore street near Columbia road,
WIN large gardens on either side. Civ
ing fine exposure. The house is of light
buff brick with elaborate trimmings in
white Indiana limestone; an entrance,
Offset by heavily stonework, and
large plate-glass doors framed In
wrought-iron grill work marks the
center of the house.
The entrance hall is spacious and
decorated in cream and gold. on the
hail are two large drawing-Tooms in
mahogany. and a dining room finished
in weathered oak. The delegates room
and study are located on the second
floor. as are apartments for visiting
bishops and guests. The secretary.
Father Strickney, and the auditor.
Father Crevette, occupy rooms on the
third floor. where the billiard room is
located.

is eighteen feet wide and forty-fOur
feet deep The windows are Of beauti-
fuI mosaic stained glass. and the sta
tions miniature, but eIaborately done
A large marble altar and numerous
priedieux complete the furnishings of
the room.

GOVERNMENT SUES BANK.
Demands that Riggs National Settle
Alleged Forged Checks.

The United States of America, through
District Attorney Baker. began suit in the
District Supreme Court against the Riggs
National Bank yesterday for the recovery
of S29, $50
It is alleged in the declaration that
William S. Yeatman, formerly disbursing
clerk in the War Department. on seven
different occasions forged checks. fraudu-
lently indoTsed them. and cashed them at
the Assistant Treasurer's office In New
York
The government states that payments
on the checks were requested May %, but
It is alleged that the Riggs National Bank
refused to honor the papers. 1t is claimed
by the United States that by indOrsing
the different checks, the Riggs National
Bark guaranteed to all subsequent holders
that the Endorsement of the payee was
genuine and true It is further claimed
that these checks were presented for pay
ment to the Assistant Treasurer of the
United States at New York, and that he,
relying upon the guarantee of the Riggs
National Bank, paid the various sums in
dicated on the checks The suit is brought
with interest from May q and costs.
