FIRE HOSE IS TURNED
ON CAPITOL BUILDING
Capt. Reynolds and His Men
Giving Great Pile Its
Annual Bath.
rhe Capitors annual bath is being ad-

The Capitols annual bath is being ad-
ministered today. Capt. G. H. Reynolds
of engine company No. 8, with detail OF
a dozen men from several fire companies
In the city, began washing the building
this morning commencing with the Sem
ate wing. They expect to finish the task
by tomorrow afternoon. after which they
will give the Senate and House office
buildings baths. The entire job is ex-
pected to consume four days.
Capt. Reynolds is using but one engine,
old No. IL, the first engine placed In COM
mission in Mount Pleasant. In the sta
tion-house on 18th street near Kenyon.
The work has been planned with con-
siderable care this year and 1t Is ex-
pected it will be finished In record time.
The Senate wing usually is the first to be
washed, but the streams will not be
played in a continuous circuit around the
building. The bath is being administered
in sections, first from the Senate wing to
the center of the Capitol facing east. and
then from the Senate wing to the center
of the Capitol facing west The House
wing will be handled in the SAME way.
Court Gets Early Bath.
A slight alteration in the plans was ne
cessitated this morning by request from
officials of the Supreme Court that the
east face of the chambers be washed first
in order to allow the court session to be
held undisturbed Immediately after this
was done work was resumed on the north
end Of the structure, where 1t was left
off,
The impact of the powerful stream of
water on the sandstone surfaces Of the
building is resulting in not only the re-
moval Of the dirt and CRIME of twelve
months accumulation, but also Is caus-
ing to fall with 1T particles of the stone
blocks sediment of fine sand being found
In the rivulets of water flowing at the
base of the whitened walls. In one or
two instances good sized chunks OF sand
stream was played directly on some Of
the ornate cornice pieces surmounting
the huge pillars.
Full Day for Job.
It is expected at least a full day each
will be consumed in getting the Senate
and House Office buildings in shape. Two
streams of water will be played continu-
ously while baths are being administered
to these buildings, and the streams will
be directed at every corner and crevice.
Fire Chief Wagner has detailed men
for the work from the several companies
in order that none might be incapacitated
in the event of answering fire calls while
the work is in progress.
Capt. Reynolds, who has directed the
work Of washing the Capitol for the
past four years, and who last year ad
ministered a bath to the municipal build
ing, estimates the cost of the present
job at between s175 and 500, these figures
including pay of the men, cost of fuel.
oil, etc, and wear and tear on the hose
and other apparatus

BERLIN, October 19.-Edward Mygind,
an experienced and reliable correspond

his paper from Jerba, an island belong

losses in nightly skirmishes in Tripoli

Express Varying Opinions.

Department officials argued both ways
about the question today, Some of them
said that unless the time was to be free
to those who went away there was no
use for the President to issue orders.
as the Masons who wanted to attend
could get away in the usual manner,
on individual request. Others pointed
out that the government would not es-
tablish the alleged precedent of giving
free time to members of orders.
The President may be called upon to
decide what his intentions were when
he sent instructions to Washington.

At CORNER STONE LAYING
Doubt as to Meaning of Order
Excusing Masons in Gov
ernment's Employ.

The interesting question has arisen in
the executive departments of the govern
ment whether the time taken yesterday
afternoon by Masons employed in the
government service should be charged
against their annual leave.
The grand master of the Masonic fra
ternity of the District several days ago
requested the White House to ask the
President to issue an order permitting
Masons who wished to attend the Scot
fish Rite ceremonies to be excused for
the afternoon. The request was trans
mitted to the President, travelling in the
west, and early yesterday morning the
White House received from him direc-
lions to instruct the departments to ex-
cuse such Masons as wished to attend
and could be spared. Nothing was said
by the grand master as to the charging
Of the time. and the President. in his di-
on that score.
Did Not Expect to Lose Time.
With the exception of the Treasury
Department, the departments took it for
granted, 1t was stated today, that an
executive order, coming from the Presi-
dent, meant that Masons avafling them
selves Of the privilege granted to them
would not be charged with the time. that
being practically the invariable rule fol-
lowing executive orders Of this kind.
The Treasury Department, on receiving
the order from the White House, sent
directions to heads of bureaus carrying
into effect the orders of the President.
but stating that those going for the
afternoon would be charged with the
time Treasury Masons, therefore, un-
derstood in advance that they would lose
the time. In other departments nothing
was said in the notice to heads OF bu-
reaus as to whether the time should or
should not be charged.
At the White House today 1t was stated
that the orders from there were indef1-
mite, but that it was presumed the time
should be charged. 1t was within the
power of each department., 1t was de-
clared, to do as it saw fit, especially in
view of the lack of defniteness in the
order.
A white House clerk stated that when
the New Masonic Temple corner stone
was laid four years ago Masons then
were excused, by direction of the Presi-
dent, but that each department, In send
ing out the notice, informed clerks that
the time would be charged to them.

Features to be desired in improved
varieties Of cotton are uniformity,
length OF staple, larger bolls, and
earlier maturity. In almost all OF the
long staple upland cotton the lint Is
shorter on the pointed than on the
rounded ends Of the seed, and when
the staple reaches 1-2 inches in
length il is important that it be uni
