BIG PLAZA HOTEL.
SOON UNDER WAY
Bonds Underwritten for ST..
100000 Structure Near
Union Station.

1t became known today that the bonds
of the Royal Plaza Hotel Company for
the erection OF a 100000 hotel at the
southwest corner of North Capitol and
L streets, facing the Union Station
plaza, have been underwritten In New
York, and that it's construction will soon
be commenced
Officers of the company, who are all
New York men with the exception OF the
president, w. II. Acker, of this city,
have been working upon changes in the
plans, having called into consultation q
Chicago architect to assist the New
York architect, who arranged the tenta-
tive plans They are now engaged COM
pleting the details, and II is expected
to have the plans ready for bids within
two or three weeks.
The Royal Plaza will be the second
large hotel to go up on the Union Sta
ton plaza, and will be erected on the
property just north of the Continental
Hotel, which is now nearly ready for
occupancy. The Continental is entirely
a local enterprise, with Z. o. Whitford
at its head.
The outlook for the acquisition of the
Eustis property. upon which the Arling-
ton Hotel stands and the erection OF a
new Arlington upon the site to cost
about $6,OO0,0O0 now seems favorable.
Tentative plans have been completed.
and will be made the basis of a pros
peCtus for financing the project. When
sufficient securities have been placed the
property will be acquired.

Expect Taft to Abolish
Many Pension Agencies

President Taft is expected, as the re-
suit OF action by the Senate Pensions
Committee today, to abolish all but five
or six of the pension agencies outside
OF Washington.
When the pensions bill was in the
House that body struck out of II all
provision for maintaining the pension
agencies outside of Washington. There
are eighteen of these.
The Senate committee in acting on
the pension bill today. restored the item
for maintenance of the agencies, but
with an informal understanding that Vle
President would abolish such of the
agencies as he sees ft. Originally most
Of the agencies were established by
Presidential order, and the President
IS now expected to abolish about two
thirds of them and consolidate the
business in five or six agencies.
The bill as reported to the Senate
carries in round numbers 1853, ,OO0, 900

A BUSINESS TALK

purchaser has become a friend as we'll
as a customer of the Mans Store and
that means a prestige in a business
way beyond valuation. One satisfied
customer means another and each
sends his friends, so the chain grows

THE business of the past few weeks
has been enormous-of course due to
our Half price sale of suits and over

all winter wear throughout the store.
No man ever bought a half price SUI

pressed himself as having received
double his moneys worth-so you
can readily understand why our ad-
vertising brings immediate results.
The keynote to a successful business

olutiOn for direct election.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota discussed
the resolution at length, and spoke in

to a vote, believing that the Sutherland
amendment to the resolution will be
adopted, and that the resolution will
then be defeated.
