For the nominal sum of 80 and other
valuable considerations" the twenty-nine
ornamented and historic Doric columns
which formerly were a part of the United
States Treasury Building, with all cap
stones. now lying IN a secluded section
of Potomac Park, have been sold by
Martin Mcnamara to William w. Bride,
an attorney of this city.
A bill of sale TO this effect was placed
on record in the office of the recorder of
deeds yesterday afternoon. Immediately
following the record of this sale, Mr..
Bride received two favorable offers for
the columns. one from a Boston firm.
which would place them around Bunker
Hill monument. The other offer came
from Philadelphia concern. which de-
clares its desire to place them at the
entrance OF Fairmount Park.
Capitals First Chance.
Mr.. Bride stated emphatically last night
that Washington would have the first
opportunity to take over the historic
columns
His intention is to perfect a deed of
sale to the government in accordance
with the bill introduced in the House Of
Representatives recently by Representa-
tive Sulzer, OF New York, which pro-
vides that Congress appropriate the sum
of S5,GO0 for the purchase and erection
of the columns. with the necessary grad
ing and parking along the Speedway, as
further means of beautifying Wash
ington.
Beyond the fact that the bill of sale
records the nominal consideration Of $40
and other valuable considerations" Moth
ing was learned of the exact amount
paid by Mr.. Bride for the twenty-nine
columns.
Mr.. Bride, when seen last night by a
reporter for The Washington Herald.
said:
Mr.. Mcnamara and 1 have had busi-
ness relations for a number of years, and
upon his securing the columns l felt 1t
was a good time to liquidate. The con-
sideratlon, of course. as named in the
bill of sale, was merely a nominal one.
The actual consideration is one that con-
Germs Mr.. Mcnamara and myself only"
1t has been scarcely a month since Mr..
Mcnamara got the contract to remove
the columns, for which he bid s675, a de-
cidedly lower bid than any of his COM
petitors. 1t is understood the purchase
of the columns from him by Mr.. Bride is
purely the liquidation OF a former busi-
ness deal between them, and the ''other
valuable considerations" referred to In the
deed OF sale is believed to reach well into
the thousands
A Difficult Problem.
For the time being the columns will
remain where they are until the Little
field & Alvord Company, to whom the
contract for their removal has been
awarded. are able to make proper ar
rangements for the hauling, which will
Be an undertaking difficult: TO meet. They
will be removed a short distance from
their present location, and arrangements
are now under way to rent a lot and take
proper precautions to guard against any
possible injury to them.
With the likely passage of the Sulzer
bill for the final disposition of the COL
umns, II is probable they will be saved
for Washington as another step in fur
thering the plan Of making Washington
the city beautiful"

RAPID-FIRE SPEECH
INTERESTS HOUSE
Gardner Injects HumOr Into
the Proceedings.

Representative Augustus Peabody
Gardner, OF Massachusetts,, who is nor
mally a seriousminded man, injected a
hit of humor into the proceedings of the
House yesterday. Mr.. Gardner was given
five minutes in which to make remarks
on the Canadian bill. He asked unani-
nous consent to print in the Record a
statement embodying the terms of law
recently passed by the New Brunswick
Parliament. placing an export tax on
raw materials. Representative Frank
Clark, of Florida, objected.
This put Mr.. Gardner TO the necessity
0f reading the New Brunswick law. He
proceeded TO read 1t at the rate OF go
words a minute or more, not syllable
that he uttered being intelligible. The
House laughed and applauded.
Mr.. Clark appealed to the chair to call
Mr.. Gardner TO order.
This jargon is unintelligible." he said.
Members are entitled TO know what is
going on in debate"
Representative Sherley. of Kentucky,
who was in the chair. replied that there
was no rule that had a bearing on the
case. The rules do not prescribe how
Il member shall speak, he said. 1T is
for the member to decide that question
himself"
>As a result OF the campaign instituted
against the leave to print" privilege by
Representative Frank Clark. of Florida,
II is probable that general debate on the
Canadian reciprocity bill will run longer
than was expected, and that there will
not be a vote on the measure until
Thursday or Friday. Incidentally, II looks
very much as il the leave to print
proposition, which meant simply that a
member could insert in the Congressional
Record as a speech any amount Of stuff
that had not been delivered in the House
or anything else, were doomed.
Mr.. Clark and other members demand
that Not delivered in the House be
printed in big black type at the head of
every contribution to the Record that is
not actually delivered on the floor.

John B. Larner. general counsel for
the Board Of Trade, when questioned as

been called upon TO look up the question
officially, and would not care to give an
answer at the present time. Leaders in

J. Callahan, first vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce, director and for
mer secretary of the Board OF Trade. and
one of the most active members OF both
organizations. said:
MY Judgment is that the City'S best
interests will be suhserved from every
standpoint by union of the splendid
men representing both the Washington
Poard Of Trade and the Washington
Chamber of Commerce. This opinion is
re-enforced by the closest intimacy with
the work Of both bodies since the or
ganiza lion of tha Chamber of Commerce.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the duties of each organization cannot
he segregated. hence the best results can
best be attained by the united efforts of
both Washington, of all cities in the
United States, TO my mind, demands
unity in all its civic representations. be-
cause of its peculiar form Of govern
ment.
Two organizations are liable to en-
tertain and d"velOp different viewpoints
on matters necessary TO the Citys de-
velopment. hence in the presentation of
subjects before the Commissioners or
the National Legislature" it seems emf

produce better results than divided ac-

Three Potent Reasons.
The potent reasons therefore, to my
mind why the bodies should be merged
are:
First, united thought and action, thus
giving better results to our efforts for
the city's civic and commercial advance

Second. saving duplication of nee
essary work.
Third, decreasing the expense made
necessary by joining both organizations"
