East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-14

washington, Aprll lf.-lHe CUT
nerstone of the new s3,000,000 office
building for the house of representa-
tives, which will occupy the entire city
square southeast of the capitol, was
laid this afternoon in the presence Of
the president, cabinet, supreme court
members of the house and senate,
representatives of foreign govern
ments and a great concourse of citi-
zens.
The historic gavel was used which
Washington welded at the laying Of
the cornerstone of the capitol, 113
years ago. Grand Master Brown, of
the District of Columbia grand lodge
of Masonsl struck the block three
times and pronounced It well and truly
laid. The ceremonies were preceded
by formal parade of Masons. Brown
delivered the formal address.
Following a selection by the ma
rine band, President Roosevelt step
ped to the platform and delivered the
address OF the day. followed by brief
burn and Richardson (Tenn.), and
the building commissioners, which
completed the exercises.
The new building will be bounded
by B street, New Jersey avenue, First
street and c. street, and contain i1J
offices, more than enough for every
member of congress. 1t will conform
In,
with the proposed senate building to
be erected across the capitol park 10
the northeast Of the capitol.
Presidents Address.
After laying the cornerstone tho
president said in part:
"In Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress is
a description of a man with a muck
rake, who looked only downward and
with the muck rake in hand. He was
offered a celestial crown for tha muck
rake, but would not look up nor heed
but continued 20 rake to himself the
filth. This man is set forth as an ex-
ample of a man whose vision Is fixed
on carnal, instead Of spiritual things.
1T is necessary we should not
finch from seeing vile things, but the
man who never sees anything else
does not help society. but is the most
potent force for evil. hail as a BEN
efactor every man VINO, on the plat
form and in print assails corruption,
providing the attack is absolutely
thief. The soul of every scoundrel is
glad when an honest man t.; assailed.
Now IL will be easy to twist out
of shape what l am saying. Some
persons are incapable of understand
ing that to denounce mudslinglng
does not mean an endorsement Of
whtewashing. Any excess is sure to
invite reaction which will likely take
the form of Furnishing the unoffend-
ing and give immunity to offenders.
Gross, reckless assaults on character
create a morbid, vicious public sem
timent. At the same time 1t will act
as deterrent to able men of normal
sensitivenesb preventing them from
entering the public service at any
price.
1T is hard to get capable men to
handle the Panama canal because
they are certain to be attacked within
and without congress as to character
and capacity. Expose crime and hunt
the criminal, but remember that even
in the case of crime, if attacked in a
sensational, lurid and untruthful
fashion the attack will do more dam
age to the public mind than the
crime itself"

GENTRY MURDER IN CHICAGO
NO TRACE FOUND OF THE FUGI-
 TIVE MURDERER.
The Police Think That Frank J. Constantine, Accused of Crime,
 Has Criminal Record.

Chicago, Jan. S.-lnVestig gation by the police of the murder, at her home on L2salle avenue, of Mrs Arthur W. Gen try. have resulted in developments that lead them 10 the belief that Frank J Constantine. accused of the murder, had a criminal record previous to this crime. Letters found in the fugitive's $ trunk, written by his parents from New Rochelle, N. Y. seem to indicate that Constantine fled from his home to es- ape the. results of a crime. though it eems clear. that his parents did not know what caused him to leave home The diamond ring pawned by Gonstan- tlne at a Clark street pawnshop was much too large for c6nstantine's fp- ger. Constantine posed as a son of wealthy parents who sent him money re&ulafly and the police are now working on the theory that he did this ill order to divert suspicion from him. sef of other misdeeds
 Efforts to locate. the driver of the cab that conveyed Constantine to the PaWnshQp have been. 50 far, unsueeess- ful. and no further trace has been found of the fugitive
