RED BANK, N. J.. Jan. 19.-Mrs.

today In answer TO the papers and Judge
Leventritts alleged remarks that her
daughter had left the country 10 avoid
paying her debts 70 Mrs. Leslie Carter
and Mrs. Osborn:
In justice to myself and my daughter
I must answer the unkind things which
have been said and printed concerning
why my daughter LIFT America She
never left to escape paying her debts.
but I sent her away myself to get rid
OF undesirable companions.
Miss Munro will pay every honest debt
she has contracted, and I stand ready
10 settle every one of her obligations
that can be proven that she owes. The
Osborn suit. alluded 10. was never de-
Tended. and I paid the judgment in full
with interest, amounting altogether to

Representative Calls For
Facts AS to Buildings
Occupied.
Believes Rented Build
ingS Not Economical
For Government.
Says He Is in Sympathy
With Greater Wash
ingtOn Scheme.

A preliminary step in the move 10
build adequate accommodations for the
work OF the Government In Washington
was taken yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. BOutsll of Illinois introduced IN
the House a resolution requesting the
Secretary OF the Treasury 10 forward 10
the House a detailed statement showing
the number Of buildings and parts OF
buildings that are rented by the United
States Government TO accommodate its
work and workers in this city
The resolution asks the Secretary TO
tell, in each case II possible, the num-
Der OF square feet IN each rented quar-
ters ana the price paid for the rented
space. The request embraces any build
ing or part OF a building rented by any
department or branch OF the Govern
meut for any purpose.
Il am a great admirer OF the Greater
Washington and the Washington More
Beautiful" said Mr.. Bouten in dts
cussing his resolution, and this IS In
formation Congress should have IN ac-
cessible form before attempting to SEN
sihly legislate on the acknowledged
need by the Government OF more space
Tor It's employees and It's work.
II believe that every department and
branch of the Government should have
its own quarters here and that these
quarters should be owned BY the Gov
eminent.
such a situation would result not
only IN economy for the Government in
the long run but IT would beautify
Washington permanently. / think this
city should be the model city OF the
country and OF the world IN beauty and
in every other way.
4 understand that We are paying IN
Washington more than $4,000 annual
rental for Government quarters. Build
the needed additional buildings and the
rental viii be clean saving Ia a Few
years"
II appropriations for new department
buildings are not secured in this ses.
sion. Mr.. BOutel will renew the fight
for them In the next Congress.
