F STREET STORE
BEING REBUILT
Handsome Addition to Build
ings on Washington's
Wall Street
Architect Arthur B. Heaton
Prepared Plans for
Alterations

F street is unique IN one particular.
II retains its character as retail street.
while at the same time partly confirming
the prediction of President Grant, who,
while in office, said IL would yet be-
come the Wall Street of washington -
Along its broad thoropghfare, banks,
trust eompa-ies. and brokers offices oc-
cupy handsome buildings. while at the
same time its retail stores compare fav-
orably with those of any other city.
From the TO time. as the exlgencies
OF trade demanded, new buildings have
been erected or old ones remOdeled and
the march of progress, fully recognized
IN the improvements, carried out.
Among the latest evidence Of this is
the remodeling Of the building at 1925
F street long occupied by Burchelr S
store. and one of the landmarks of the
retail section Of the city. The building
originally built nearly three-quarters of
a century ago. has from time TO time
been given over TO the architect and
builder for changes 10 adapt It 10 more
modern conditions until hardly a vestige
OF the original structure remains.
The latest alteration has probably been
the greatest ever undertaken and makes
a handsome and convenient structure
The plans involving the changes were
prepared by Architect Arthur B. HeatOn
and the work carried out by Builder c
A. Langley. BurcheIrs store, with its
handsome new front, viii long remain q
landmark OF Washington's Wan Street
though in an entirely different line OF
business endeavor.

WITNESS CAY TELLS
: ABOUT LANArs STATUS

The Lanai investigation was resum-
ed last evening.
The committee assembled at T:s0.
Charles Gay, who was being examin-
ed when the committee adjourned on
Friday night, was recalled and. con-
tinuing his testimony. stated that at
the time the appraisers visited the is
land, he accompanied them on their
tour of inspection, only, however, in
the capacity OF guide. He did not
learn until some time after this that
the appraisers had decided on u valua-
ton for, the government lands. He did
not recall from whom he received this
information, but he remembered that
the figures given him by this inform
ant We're 100000. After a general de-
scription of the various methods by
which he had endeavored to secure
water, Mr.. Gay suggested that It
would be well for the committee to
visit the island. Mr.. w. II. Rawlins
stated that this was the committees
intention. Answering question OF Mr.
Rawlins, Mr. Gay stated that, with the
present irrigation facilisies. Lanai
lands were fit only for grazing pur-
poses. He said also that the native
population of Lanai were not restrain
ed in any manner by him; that they
were free to plant anywhere on his
lands. His object in thus literally
treating these people was to retain
them on the island, so that in the event
of his being able to resume ranching
on the scale formerly carried on by
him, he might find employees. He said
he was especially friendly to Hawai-
ians, to whom he mad always given
preference in employing labor. Fores-
tation, stated Mr.. Gay, is the only
salvation of the island, and this he
thought, would be impractieable unless
the thousands of goats now on Lanai
were exterminated.
Further questions failing to elicit
anything not previously covered in his
Mr.. Gay was excused.
The committee then adjourned until
evening next at o'clock.

SEEKS ABRAHAM'S
PROPERTY DEEDS

LONDON, Feb. 9.--Sir William Ram
say will soon go to Asia Minor to I'M
dertake on a mucn greater scale than
has hitherto been attempted investiga-
tions which are expected to throw much
light on ancient history, especially
Biblical history of the time of Abra
ham. Extended work is made possible
by Lord Strathcona gift of $500 a
year for five years.
Sir William in speaking of his expec-
tations says he has been convinced for
long time and now thinks it will be
practically demonstrated by the next
great series of discoveries that Aryan
history had its beginnings in Asia
Minor and that the people among whom
they are to be discovered were the
people called the Hittites in the Bible,
or the children of Heth, from whom
Abraham bought piece of land to

QUEER CASE FOR POLICE.

A robbery was reported to the police
on Friday night from Iwilei, Japa-
nese stating that his trunk, containing
greenbacks, gold and silver to the
amount of 500, had been carried OF.
The police searched for it that night
and it was finally located the next
morning in the kiawe bushes near the
Japanese's home. 1t had been broken
open but only $40 had been taken. This
fact, coupled with the fact that the
spot where the box had been reported
as found had been tramped over by the
police the night before. inclines them
to the belief that there is something
fshy in the whole business, but they
are working on it nevertheless.
