There's a picture of tranquil domes-

Handley grunted. He was never quite

GUARDSMEN TO ASK
CONGRESS FOR FUND
TO START ARMORY
Between Fifty and Seventy
Thousand Dollars Will Be
-. Needed for Work.

Between $4,000 ard $4,000 will be
asked Of Congress next month by the
District National Guard. The sum is to
be the initial appropriation for a man.
moth armory on the site of the old
Pennsylvania station. Sixth and B
streets northwest.
At a meeting of the brigade staff last
night the armory appropriation vas dis
Tcusstd at length. 1t was decided to
ask for the comparatively sr,all ap.
preparation in order that the basement
might be dug and the foundation built
wither further delay. The plans as pre-
pared call for an enormous arn.ory-one
that viii house the entire strength of
the District National Guard.
The armory, which is to be $50 feet
long. built of white marble and with
enormous, pillars, will require three
years time to erect.
Lieut.. Col Samuel E. Smiley said
that at the present time Washington
has perhaps the poorest armories OF
any city of it's size in the country. He
thinks that this city, being the Capital
of the nation, deserves an armory OF
the type called for in the plans.
The plan. of getting the first appro'
priation for the armory was the most
important matter up for discussion las
night. The work that Is being done II
the guard, under the direction of the
regular army officers, was discussed.

LEWP. MORTON, ONCE
VICE PRESIDENT, IS
CAPITAL RESIDENT
To Avoid Tax Assessment in
New York, He Swears This
City Is His Home.

Levi P. Morton. former governor Of
New York, and Vice President of the
United States with President Harrison,
has renounced New York for Washing
ton as a place of residence.
In an affidavit dated November II,
and filed with the tax department of
New York city. Mr.. Morton swears that
his legal residence since April II has
been 1900 Rhode Island avenue north
west, in this city.
Mr.. Morton is therefore unable to
establish, If he should wish to, a legal
residence so as to enable him to vote
in New York at the next Presidential
election. Mr.. Mortpn's affidavit was
made in swearing off a personal assess
ment of 100000 which was put against
his name by the Tax Department.
Mr.. Morton owns the Shoreham Hote'
in this city. The Morton home, at Fiji
teenth street and Rhode Island avenue
Is now being extensively remodeled.
