Not Seriously Ill.

John Hall Of 1917 street northwest a
packer FOR the Dulin & Martin Co. at
l2l6 street northwest, was found by fell
iow-employes about 1890 o'clock yesterday
afternoon doubled up in a barrel and nm
conscious. Fearing that he had taken moi.
son and unable to revive him. the store en-
ployes summoned the ambulance from the
Emergency Hospital and Hall was removed
to that institution. The physicians at the
institution assured his friends he was not
seriously ill.,
Hall has been employed by the Dulin
q Martin Co. for about a month, and he
was at work as usual yesterday. Mr.. Mar
tin sent him into the basement for q barrel
and as he was going down the elevator, it
Is stated he told the elevator boy that he
was going to commit suicide. He said ac-
cording to the boy. that he had been drink
ing the night before and was tired Of life
From the elevator he went into the base
ment and was seen to sit on a barrel which
had no head. He sank into the barrel until
only his head and his feet could be SEEN It
was thought that he was in a playful mood
and no attention was paid to him until
about two hours later, when an unpacker
went into that part of the cellar and dis
covered Hall in the barrel unconscious No
trace of poison was found.

INSPECTION PROGRESSES.
Ice Cream Dealers to Receive the At
tention Of Sealer Haskell.

The next step to be taken by Col Haskell
the sealer of weights and measures of the
District, toward compelling dealers in the
District to give full weight and measures in
selling their respective commodities will
be an inspection of the ice cream measures.
During his inspection Of the pasteboard
boxes used In carrying ice cream last year
thousands Of them were found to be below
the standard, 1t Is stated, and were con-
demned by the sealer. He places the
standard weight for a quart measure at
thirty-two ounces, but regards thirty
ounces as just weight. Col. Haskell and
his assistants are at work inspecting the
milk bottles throughout the city, and when
this work is completed their attention will
be directed toward the ice cream dealers
and confectioners.
tacles used for carrying ice cream are sell
dom, if ever, below the standard, but the
only difficulty is met in the inspection of
the pasteboard boxes, which he explains
are made by various manufacturers, and 1t
is a common thing for them to be short
weight
At recent meeting Of the local Confec-
TONERS and Ice Cream Dealers Associa-
ton, which Sealer Haskell attended, the
members Of the association declared that
thrty-two ounces as the standard for a
quart of ice cream was too high and that
the sealer should reduce 1t to twenty-eight
ounces. This, the sealer said, was impossi-
BILE, as there Is nothing which would per-
NIT or necessitate such reduction, in view
of the fact that twenty-eight ounces for d
quart would be a decidedly 'short-weight"
measure, and that there is a gratifying
profit for the ice cream dealers even when
they sell their ice cream at thirty-two
ounces to the quart.
Following the ice cream inspection the
sealer will investigate the weights and
measures in connection with the sale Of

The steamer Charles Manchester of the
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall line was
withdrawn from service Wednesday, and
last night she departed for Baltimore to
undergo her annual overhauling and to be

ton for the heavy travel to Mount Vernon

centennial exposition. when thousands of
tourists going to and from the exposition

made to her, it is declared, will make her
one of the finest steamboats, on the river.

The hunt Of the sand and gravel dredg-
ing companies of the city for new beds Of
the material the Potomac within easy
towing distance of Washington has been
in progress for year more, ever since
the old beds began showing signs of being
exhausted. All along the river, on both
sides, the sand men have made borings, but
with little success, it is stated, until about
week ago, when a bed was found in
Pohick creek, Va, short distance below
Mt. Vernon, which contains fine grade of
sand and gravel and in large quantities.
The Columbia Dredging Company has start
ed machines at work in the creek digging
the material, and five large loads were
brought into port yesterday The hunt for
gravel beds in other localities Is still in
progress, and may meet with success at any
time.

TOTAL OF ESTIMATES
CAPT. PooLE's STATEMENT TO
SECRETARY OF TREASURY.

Capt. Poole, the engineer officer in charge
of the State, War and Navy building, has
transmitted to the Secretary of the Treas
ury estimates of the appropriations needed
for the maintenance and care of the state,
War and Navy Department building for the
fiscai year 1908. They aggregate 100000,
made up of the following items: Boilers,
boiler room and auxiliaries, $33, 600; changes
in elevator pumping system. 10000; for the
heating system, $3S, 800, and for contingent
ces, $1O,6SO.
These estimates involve radical changes
in the amounts estimated for renewing the
heating, lighting and power plant of the
big office building and placing them on q
more economical basis.
The heating, lighting and power plant
of this building" says Capt. Poole, con
sists of heterogeneous collection Of ma
chinery and apparatus dating from the
early seventies to the present day. All the
units are small and badly scattered. A
large percentage of them are Anticipated,
and many are actually worn out and under
any circumstances must be replaced in the
near future.
Heating and Steam.
1.-The heating and steam boilers, twenty
four in number, are located in thirteen
widely separated fire rooms, and each year
burn about $50 900 worth of furnace coal.
Twenty firemen are required to fire these
small isolated units, which in turn heat the
building and furnish hardly sufficient steam
for power purposes. This installation should
be replaced by four water tube boilers of
about 200 horse power each and located In
one fire room. The four boilers could be
fired by two firemen on shift, six for the
twcnty-four hours, and would furnish ample
heat and power, with a greatly reduced
coal bill.
The proposed change to the elevator
pumping system is to locate in one pump
room near the boileTs) a modern high-duty
pumping plant of sufficient power to eco
nomically handle all the nine elevators in
the building. This will do away with the
FIVE separated pumping stations, in all but
one of which are now located small simple
acting pumps supplied by a steam line one
third of a mile long, and each OF which re-
Quire an attendant
Sale of Old Material.
The old machinery boilers and apparatus
can be removed and sold at public aution.
Even if sold junk this material should
bring about $1,000, and it is probable IT,
as much as $1,000 can be obtained from the
sale and covered into the United States
treasury as a small offset to the expendi-
ture necessary for the new plant.
IF the sum estimated for making the
changes, 100000 Is made Immediately
available, l can install the new plant in
time to enable me to operate it for the
fiscal year 1908. and thus permit reduction
of $2S.0 20 to be made In the two regular ap-
priations for that year as compared with
the amounts appriprated for the current
fiscal year"
