TO REIMBURSE E. M. TALCoTT.
Another's Error for Which He Was
Held RESPONSIBLE.

Representative Allen of Maine. a MEM
Der of the House District committee, intro
duced a bill today authorizing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to make a payment of
500 to Edmund NJ Talcott, assistant sur
veyor of the District, to reimburse him for
money paid as a result of a surveying mis-
take in 1905. The error was made in sur
veying the lot on which the Y. NJ. c. A.
building stands. The assistant sur
veyor made the computation, the lot was
correctly laid off and points established,
but the driver of a wagon In the sur
veyors department, who, owing to the
lack of help, was called upon to act as
chairman, measured the frontage Of the lot
as seventy-two feet when 1t should have
been seventy-one. The mistake was not
discovered until the builder asked for final
lines for the foundation and the excava-
ton was completed At that time a large
part of the steel work had already been
set and nearly all the steel drawings and
calculations, as we'll as plans and details
for the building, had been completed. 1t
was necessary therefore to purchase the
additional foot of ground, which was done
for 81 900, although its market value was
about $500. Mr.. Talcott had to pay the
additional 500 out of his own pocket.

Mr.. Hepburn Opposed to Phrase Ger

Representative Hepburn of Iowa objected
to the word German" in connection with
the word "American" when the bill to in
corporate the National German American
Alliance" was called up in the House yes
terday. He said he was opposed to such
hyphenation and thought that citizens of
the United States could well be called
Americans and not German Americans
or "Polish-Americans." He asked Mr..
Bartholdt, the father of the bill, If he
would agree to strike out the word Ger
man. in connection with the alliance
sought to be incorporated by the bill.
Mr.. Bartholdt said that ordinarily he
would be pleased to yield the word, but
as this patriotic organization and
designed to protect German immigrants
against imposition and deception and to
assist in their naturalization he felt that
to eliminate the word German would
seriously impair the purposes of the meas
ure. The bill passed.
