The building for the Pan-American
Bureau building Is located on land
which was formerly a peninsula ex'
tending out into the Potomac river,
on which stood the historic Van Ness
mansion, built In 1917. This mansion
was the residence Of Marcia Burns
Van Ness, daughter Of David Burns.
who was one of the original settlers
of the territory now occupied by the
city Of Washington. The adjoining
water area has been in process Of fill
ing by the government for the last 20
years, so that the shore OF the Poto-
mac river is now q half mile distant.
The reclaimed area has been con.
verted into a beautiful public park.
One Of the first problems which con-
fronted the architects in preparing
the working plans for the building
was the question Of foundations. In
order to determine the character OF
the subsoil at the site, pits were ex.
waited at several places. and record
kept of the different strata encount'
cred. After a study Of these data to-
gether with the estimated weight OF
the superstructure. the architects con-
cluded that a structure resting on
concrete piles would possess many ad.
vantages over the ordinary spread
footings, especially as here were
very heavy concentrated loads i'm.
posed at certain points. 1t was found
that for a depth Of eight to ten feet
below the surface the clay subsoil was
saturated with water, which would
make the excavation for the base.
ment difficult and costly. In view Of
the conditions, a preliminary contract
was let for laying a terra-cotta drain
pipe on four sides Of the site and at a
distance of rs feet from the proposed
building. The pipes were brought to-
gether in q manhole at the southeast
corner and then carried to an outlet
In the municipal sewer in Seventeenth
street.
According to the contract signed be-
tween the director of the bureau and
the contractors the building must be
completed by July /, 1909. The re-
vised plans and specifications call for
q structure whose exterior shall be
built OF marble entirely, instead Of
stucco, as originally intended. This
important change in the finish has
been made possible largely as a result
of the condition Of the building trade.
When the contract was signed there
was comparatively little construction
going on and the contractors, were so
anxious to obtain work that the fig
ures submitted and accepted were
probably 20 per cent. less than they
would have been six or eight months
previous, and this saving was applied
to the substitution of marble instead
of stucco for the outside walls.
Ground was broken at the building
site on April 10. 1908; meanwhile or.
ders had been issued by the con.
tractor for the delivery of the materi.
ais Of construction.
The requisite excavation having
been completed the driving Of con-
crete piles was commenced at the
northeast corner Of the building on
April "a, 1908, and proceeded day and
night, in order to have the foundations |
ready for the cornerstone laying, |
which was to take place May IL,
1908.

the director of the bureau and his !

ants, and the different committees the J

The overhauling and painting of the

of last week. The vessel has been

LARGE RUN OF STURGEON.
More Than in Many Years Now II
Lower Raw

Reports coming from the lower part OF
Chesapeake bay state that sturgeon have
appeared in unusually large numbers for
the season and that several big ones have
been caught by the fishermen within the
past week
For ten or fifteen years sturgeon have
been extremely scarce in Chesapeake bay
and it's tributaries. For every one caught
now dozen were caught in those days.
The spawn of the fish is used in the man
ufacture of caviare and commands a big
price. and the flesh in the local markets
commands higher price per pound than
many meats. There was a time on the
Potomac when the big fish were SO nu-
merous that there was absolutely nc
market for them. and at the fishing
shores they were piled on the beach like
cord wood for the farmers living in the
vicinity TO take for use as fertilizer. Now
sturgeon are seldom seen in the Poto-
mac above Riverside and a catch of ten
in season would be large.

BLAIR SUNDAY REST BILL.
of Its Introduction Cele
brated at Foundry Church.

The twenty-f1rst birthday OF the Blair
Sunday rest bill was celebrated last night
at Foundry Nj. e. Church. the birthplace
of the idea of enforcing Sunday rest by
national legislation. The celebration was
made more interesting by the presence of
former Senator Henry w. Blair, the au-
thor of the bill. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the international
reform bureau and the w. C. T. u.
Mr. Blair told of the progress of the
movement to obtain Sunday rest. Sew
enty-five years ago the matter was
brought up in Congress. but voted out.
From that time until 1888 nothing was
done, but the w. C. T. u, recognizing
the relation between intemperance and a
wide-open Sunday. agtated the measure
and succeeded in getting the bill into the
hands of an active committee In Con-
gresS.
The former senator told a great many
stories of the trouble he had in getting
the bill drafted and of the popular cry
that was taken up when the bill became
known under the head Of Sunday rest. y

OF the international reform bureau, spoke
