Washington theatergoers and also visit
ing player folk may be compelled to fore

or the property rooms Connected with any
theater or any place of public assembly

it may. safely be permitted where it forms
feature of a performance.
The proposed amendment also prov ides
that smoking be prohibited in any uor-
tion OF any church. theater or place of
public assembly or amusement in the Dis
trict unless such smoking can, in the
opinion OF the chief engineer of the fire
department. be authorized without expos
ing any such building or it's contents to
unnecessary danger from fire.
Corporation Counsel E. H. Thomas has
been instructed by the Commissioners to
prepare a draft Of a regulation 20 cover
the suggestion made by the fire chief.

The New British War Office.

From the London Morning Post.
Those who love to see London growing
beautiful rejoice that the new building has
taken the place of the dingy old mansions
which used to stand there and of the fenced
iBclosure that remained for some time after
ward. though hundred different kinds Of
wild Towering plants were said to grow in
the space. Constructed, far as the outer
walls are concerned. entirely Of white stone,
the military palace has been designed to
harmonize with Charles rs banqueting hail.
from which 1t is separated by Horse Guards
avenue. OF about the same height, it Is
divided into five stories above ground In
stead of the three in the historic edihce,
and is of holder and more varied char
acter.
At each of the four corners stands a.
domed tower. continued to the ground by
a round pavilion. The Ionic pillars above
the entrances in Whitehall and Whitehall
place are separate from the wall. while
those of the banqueting hall are attached
Both buildings are alike in displaying few
carvings, but here again the new differs
slightly from the old, for on each of its
four sides two large groups Of figures are
cut in has relief near the top. As BELTS a
place with great number of rooms t,hre
are many windows, and If any one objects
that they are set for the most part In some
what monotonous straight Lines the answer
Is that those in the banqueting hall are
similarly placed and that the arrangement
is demanded by the work of the war office
A courtyard, entered from Horse Guards
avenue, occupies the middle Of the site,

having disguised the irreguiarity of the
ground The fact is that all its sides are
of unequal length and only one of the four
corners is right angle. 1t was at one
time suggested. that a. passage should be
made under Whitehall to connect the new
war office with the admiralty opposite but
that idea has been abandoned.

CHARGES OF NEGLECT.
o. B. Lester Appears Against a Po-
Iceman.

Mr.. O. B. Lester. who preferred charges
of neglect Of duty against Policeman Holl-
stein, stationed at the Ith and G streets
crossing, and which were dismissed when
the case vas tried before the police trial
board, was given a hearing before the
Commissioners this morning. He declared
the trial board hearing. that the policeman
should have been found guilty and it was
in order that the latter should be properly
disciplined that he requested to be heard
by the Commissioners
According to Mr.. Lester he was operating
an automobile at 7th and G streets several
weeks ago and while crossing @ street he
narrowly escaped being run down by a
street car and two wagons which crossed
the street ahead of him. He was compelled
to pull up" and turn quickly to one side
to avert an accident, and it was because the
crossing policeman refused to arrest the
drivers of the offending wagons when he
if he did not go about his business, that
he preferred the charges.
Policeman Hollstein In his defense stated
to the Commissioners that Mr. Lester had
no right to cross the street at the time
he did, the peril was evident. He ex-
planned that the reason he did not arrest
the two drivers who blockaded Mr.. Testers
progress, as the latter requested, was in
view of the fact that they had as much
right to cross the street at that place and
at that time as Mr.. Lester had. and when
the latter began to indulge In abusive Ian
guage and censure him for mot doing his
duty" he said he would arrest him for dis
orderly conduct.
The Commissioners announced after the
hearing that they VIII give the statement
