Avenue Building Heights.

The bill recently passed by both
houses regulating the height of build
ings in the District of Columbia is now
in conference. bearing an amendment
added by the. Senate specifically eN-
empting from the present regulation as
to maximum height on Pennsylvania
avenue the single square between 18th
and 18th streets. Against this amend
ment The Star has entered its protest,
as proposition of specia1-interest
Legislation inimical to the public well
fare and establishing dangerous prec-
edent menacing the harmony of the
local regula lions affecting building
heights. The amendment was designed
to permit the extension of the Raleigh
Hotel on the Avenue to height equal
to that of the 18th street building.
- 1t is gratifying to learn that the
Raleigh Hotel Company did not re-
quest this narrowly limited exception
to the building laws in order to permit
its own enterprise to the exclusion of
virtually all others. It appears that
the company asked for an increase of
the permissible height on the whole OF
Pennsylvania avenue to 100 feet, which
is the height of the Willard Hotel. 1t
is commended. and with reason, that in
asmuch as the building heights along
other business streets of the city are
to be increa sed, those on Pennsylvania
avenue should not remain under the old
restriction: especially as%Pennsylvania
avenue, the. broadest of the city,
streets, is best suited for occupancy by
high buildings.
1t is undeniably to the interest of all
hi hot nj
which will always remain the show street
of the city as regards parades and Of
fetal ceremonies. should be maintained
as a dignified business street. 1t should
not be Disseminated against in any re-
spect. and the fullest advantage should
be taken. of its splendid sweep and its
breadth to make 1t an important business
artery. There is no substance in the ar
gument that higher buildings on Pennsyl-
vania avenue might dwarf the public
buildings that in time will be erected on
the south side. Even were the public
buildings to be brought squarely UP to
the building line. as I'M the case of the
Post Ofhoe Department, the great breadth
of the Avenue would prevent the private
structures on the north side, reaching
the 1GO-foot height, from affecting those
opposite. IL Congress will adopt the
policy of treating the Mall-Avenue tri-
angle as a whole and by its acquisition
in it's entirety utilize the space as public
building sites with a sufficiency of park
setting for each of the structures it
will be immaterial how high the pri-
vate buildings on the north side extend
into the air. -9f...s.-.-+:
There can be no objection to increasing
the maximum height on Pennsylvania
avenue as is proposed for other streets
IL the entire Avenue, from the Capitol to
the Treasury, is placed upon the same
basis. There will always be objections to
any proposal to legislate in this regard
for any specific square, in any individual
interest. The passage of the pending
bill. with the Senate amendment changed
to give the entire Avenue the benefit of
the proposed increased height, will be de-
sirable.

The Colonel as a Thrower of Skies

From the Chicago RecOrd-Herald.
A great many people seem 10 be wor-
ried because Theodore Roosevelt will not
be counted by the census enumeratOrs
Owing to the fact that the census sheets
will have been turned i'm before the
colonel returns to this country, he and
the members of his family, who are with
him in Europe will be omitted from the
records. But there is 40 occasion for
alarm. Col. Roosevelt is one Of those
rare individuals who never need to be
counted in order to be assured Of a
place among those present" AS III.
Hills elOquently said in recent sermon,
Roosevelt always throws skies. We do
not presume to be able to give profess
sional definition of the meaning of the
phrase Ito throw sixes,'' but we believe il
has something to do with being on the
winning side. In any event, there is no
reason to fear that the colonel will cease
because he Is not enumerated, to be
America most distinguished citizen.

To welcome the Queen of the May!

The footwear SO glossy and neat.
Where garlands once made a display.

From the Scranton Truth

From Tue ScranlOu Trulh
In view of the haste with which the
average daily newspaper is built its
mistakes should not be taken too seri-
ously. The Fourth Estate says that even
the Judge on the bench has his decisions
set aside /by the higher courts, and yet,
although his Judgment is reversed, he
does not suffer in the least in public or
professional estimation.

Gel. aad Hrs John R. Marshall

Col. John r. Marshall, the popular
commander of the famous Eighth Regi-
ment Illinois National Guards, was
born at Alexandria, Va, March 18th,
1882 receiving his education in the
public schools of that city and in the
schools of Washington, D. c.
When he arrived at the age of 10,
he started in to learn the brick layers
trade and after serving four years I'M
til 1879 he thoroughly mastered his
trade and on arriving in Chicago near
that year, he followed his trade, and he
could lay as many brick as any man in
town.
Having a natural love for military
life and the excitment attending it, in
1901 he took an active part in helping
to organize the old Ninth Battalion,
being chosen second Lieutenant of Com
pany A, and later on he became first
Lieutenant of the same Company.
In 1893 he was chosen captain of his
company, by an unanimous vote, hold
ing that rank until he received his Col
oneTs commission in June 1893.
He has in the past dabbled in poll
tics serving as Deputy clerk in the
County clerks Office and for several
years he was Deputy Sheriff. At the
present time he is Deputy State Game
Warden.
Col. Marshall has made lasting his
tory for himself, in leading the Eighth
Regiment on to Cuba. Thereby ever
latingly assisting to maintain the honor
and glory of this nation on Cuban soil.
In 1886, Col. Marshall, was united in
marriage to Miss Louise Bawner. of
Alexandria, Va, and among this
worlds goods to their credit, is a fine
residence at 5000 Calumet Ave, where
they pleasantly entertain their host of
friends.
