the District building department.

principal of the Mckinley Manual Training
School called at the District building today
and conferred with Commissioners Macfar-
land and Biddle. the inspector of buildings,
and Lemuel Norris. the architect for the ex-
tension The object of the conference was
to decide upon the best possible arrange
ment of the building and the greatest
amount of accommodation for the amount
of money appropriated. Although the school
is large and thoroughly equipped, it Is in
adequate to accommodate the number of
pupils.
This addition has been long wanted by the
Commissioners and the school officials, and
at the last session of Congress they sue
ceeded in obtaining an appropriation suffi-
GENTLY large to insure the construction. A
lot adjoining the present site of the school
was recently purchased by the District for

SHOWS A DECREASE.
Population in Southwest Section Less
Than It Was Year Ago.

Capt. Mulhall of the fourth precinct re-
ported to Major Sylvester, yesterday after
noon, that the police enumerators had fin
ished their work of taking the census in
the southwest section of the city, the fig
ures showing a decrease in one year in the
population of 914. The report shows that
the southwest section has a population of
33, 716 against a total of 34.63O last year.
There are 1854 whites and 13,S12 colored
persons shown to be living in that section.
The enumerators found fifty-eight children
between the ages of seven and fifteen years
not attending school. Various causes were
assigned by the parents for not sending the
children to school. Some gave sickness as
their excuse. some said the school buildings
were too far distant from their homes, and
others said their children could not speak
English, that they were deaf mutes; a
few of them saying they did not have
proper wearing apparel for their children.
The police officials state that the large
decrease in the population is due to several
causes. Since the last census was taken, 1t
is stated. about 300 soldiers have left the
Washington barracks. Many houses have
been torn down to make room for the rail-
road improvements and number Of other
houses in that section have been taken
down by direction of the sanitary commits
sion.
