Of the Buckeye State His home is at
Riverside, Ohio, where he served as
mayor, and at the time Of his appoint
ment as justice on the District Supreme
Bench was judge Of the Judge OF the
court OF common pleas Of Hamilton

Justice Wright was appointed as one
OF the justices Of the Supreme Court OF
the District Of Columbia in November-
1895. and since then has presided in sew
eraI cases Of national import. among

ARCHITECTS RACE
FOR NEW BUILDINGS
Send Plans From
Which District Choice
Is to Be Made.

The Treasury Department announced
today the institution of three limited
competitions for the selection of archi-
tects who VIII design the three new
buildings for the Department Of State,
Justice and Labor.
Assistant Secretary HTles said that
the primary object Of the competition,
which already has been entered by some
or the leading architects Of the United
States, would be the selection OF com
petent architects more than designs.
This because of the requirement that
the architectural creators OF the new
buildings must modify and restudy their
plans until the whole shall form a
harmonious composition.
The magnificent buildings will cost
in the aggregate $7,75O.OO and the
table Of requirements furnished archi-
tects by the Treasury Department
specifies that the style Of architecture
adopted must be in keeping with the
best existing work in the National
Capital
The buildings will occupy the land
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue. the
Mall, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.
Provision has been made for an expert
commission Of award. to report on the
relative merits Of the designs, but the
names Of the judges will not be made
public at this time
The limit OF cost fixed for the De-
partment Of Justice is $780, 900; for the
Department Of State, s., 100000, and for
the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor. $3,650.e00- The buildings for the De-
partments Of state and Justice will be
three stories and basement; that os
commerce and Labor will be FIVE stories
and basement.
The ground area Of the building Or
the Department OF Commerce and La
Dor viii be $1,000 square feet; that OF
the Department Of State. 1900 square
feet, and that OF the Department OF
Justice. $500 square feet.
1he competition viii close December
~. The programmes limit the height
OF the exterior orders 10 fOrty-five feet
Including columns and entablature- the
style Of architecture adopted must be
IN keeping with the best existing work
IN WashHgtO@; the designs must be
by the regular office force u
7ach competitor; perspective sketches
are prohibited; and the primary Object
Of the competition Is the selection OF
an architect and not the designs at first
submitted, as the creators of the three
accepted designs must modify and re-
study their plans until they shall form
I harmonious composition.
