plan must be carried out and that each
year delay is becoming more and more
costly.
1t is certain that Attorney General Bon
aparte and Secretaries Root and Straus
of the Departments of State and Com
'merce and Labor will renew their urgent
recommendations for new buildings for
their respective branches Of the govern
ment service, and in both houses Of the
national legislature the justice and neces-
sity of these demands is becoming gen.
orally recognized. This being established,
1t Is evident that even those congress-
men who think that too much money
has been and Is being spent in the beauti-
fication of the National capital can do
naught but concede that If millions must
be spent in the erection of new govern
ment department buildings those millions
might as well be expended in line with
permanent building plan.

IN HONOR OF POET.
Under Auspices Of the
Gaelic League.


The commemoration OF the birthday Of
the poet Thomas Osborne Davis was cele-
brated last evening at Carroll Institute
by the Gaelic League of Washington.
Mr.. James Flynn opened the exercises
by reading from the poem Our Nation

Irish air. IAN Calm dheas Cruidhths
no-m-bo."
DR.. Jeffrey C. O'Connell made the me-
mortal address. He spoke in Irish and
English and gave geographic ske tch of
the life and services of the poet in the
cause of Irish unity and Irish nationality,
showing him to be one of the projectors
of the Library of Ireland" a series of
publications directing the manhood of
Ireland to the question Of Irish national
ity; that he was the founder of the
young Ireland" party. most brilliant
them mentioned Gen. Thomas Francis
Meagher-"Meagher Of the sword''-the
hero of Fredericksburg; Smith O'Brien,
Michael Doheny, John Mitchell and 9TH
ers. The speaker said Davis was the
national poet Of the Irish people, and
that his memory will remain ever green
down deep in their heart of hearts as
long as his own immortal shamrock
blooms on the heath-the heather Of his
native hills. he sang so sweetly and with
paid a tribute to the members of the
league for their patriotic devotion in
coming day after day and week after
week to obtain possession Of that weapon
the most effective and irresistible in Sc
curing Irish nationality, the Irish lam
guage.
The speaker received a vote Of thanks
at the conclusion Of his address. Mr.
Patrick Murphy sang THE Wearing Of
the Green and THE Dawning of the
Day. in Irish.

Alarms Of Fire.

Several companies Of the fire department
last evening about 8 O'Clock were called
out because of a blaze in the house of
Sylvester Russell, 70 Defrees street. About
$75 damage was caused.
About an hour later a blaze occurred in
the house of Martin Deery, 24O4 Randall
street, Langdon. The overturning of an
oil stove was the cause. Policemen Van
derschaaf and Cooney went to the house,
with other persons, and extinguished the
blaze before more than $25 damage had
been caused.

This statement is warranted by the
attitude of House members. collectively
and individually, during the last session
OF Congress, and others not so recent, to-

and the abstract, which had to do with

connection 1t may be said-and the state

Why Hepburn Bill Failed.
The Hepburn bill of last year failed
only because of the extraordinarily heavy
appropriations for the session. Its merit
vas not denied and the necessity for adj
dftional department buildings was not
questioned. The bill simply was thrown
aside in the last days of the session in
the course of the close pairing that wa 6
necessary in order to keep the session
totals within reason.
Whenever the proposition of purchas
ing all the line of squares on the south
side of the avenue between 18th street
and the Botanic Garden is preached to
the average member of Congress who
| it ordinarily results in something of a
shock. Exaggerated estimates float be-
fore his eyes and he is inclined to dis
miss the subject at once as too colossal
10 be considered. If these same gentle
men would consult Senate document 2I1
of the first session of the Fifty sixth
Congress it might ease their minds some
what relative to the expenditure neces-
sary in order for the national government
to acquire the property in question.
This document Is simply a tabula ted
report of the board of assistant assessors
of the District. giving an approximate
value to the squares on the south side of
pennsylvania avenue from 18th street to
the Botanic Garden, and was submitted

The Assessors Report.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-10-16

So far as any one at the Capitol knows
this modern movement for a greater Mail
connecting the Capitol and the Washlng-
ton monument had its inception, con-
occasionally, in 1886, when Representative
William M. Springer of Illinois intro
duced bill in the House, during the
Forty-ninth Congress, providing Tor the
condemnation and purchase by the gov
eminent of squares c and d and 30, the
charging of the east end of the Mall ana
the creation of an avenue of the same
width as Pennsylvania avenue from the
center of the Capitol to the center OF the
monument with a central carriage way
flanked on either side by a brldel path
and sidewalk and lined on either side OF
the carriage way and on either side of the
avenue proper with trees. The Dill also
provided for the extension of virginia
avenue to the center of the monument
shaft. This bill was lost, as many others
since introduced have been.
1t will be remembered that In the CLOS
ing hours of the first session of the Fifty
ninth Congress a bill providing for the
condemnation and purchase by the gov
eminent of five squares on the south SIDE
of Pennsylvania avenue for the erection
of government buildings became law
through the error of an enrolling clerk.
In fact, it became a law so hard and fast
that it was necessary to pass repeating
act the sundry civil bill. into which the
paragraph slipped, having already been
sent to the President.
Value of the Property.
Just now It is predicted that the Hey
burn bill of last session or modification
of that measure will pass during the first
session of the Sixtieth Congress. The
