Washington. Feb. 24-The city of
Washington wants the nation to build

100000, and a bill to that effect has
been introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Root of New York. Washington has
become the great convention city of the
country and there is no place to meet
with comfort.
1t is probable that the economy im-
pulse which has possession of the
house will interfere with legislation at
the present session or indeed at any
serious effort to secure il, but the un-
derstanding is that the proposition is
to be pushed year after year until
something can be accomplished.
The Root bill calls for $2,0OO,OO0 for
building to stand on the site Of the
old Pennsylvania railroad depot. at
Sixth street, just below Pennsylvania
avenue and he would have the build

MURDER STILL uNsoLvED.
After Three Years Mysterious Case in
Canada Battles Police.

Hamilton, ont, Feb. 24.-It will be
three years tomorrow since the murder
of Ethel Kinrade furnished Hamilton
with the greatest sensation of the kind
in its history and added to the criminal
annals mystery that the best detec-
tive talent in America has failed to un-
ravel
Ethel Kinrade, the daughter of an
eminently respectable family, was
slain in broad daylight in her parents
home in the fashionable section OF
this city. Her sister Florence, the
only eye witness OF the tragedy, from
the first declared that the murderer
was tramp. Though the act appear
ed incredibly brutal and audacious and
the motive inadequate. that version
was at first accepted by the authorities.
Then discrepancies in Florence Kin
rade's story appeared. The actions of
her family were inexplicable. The
tramp story was soon discredited and
discarded.
The police inquiry. while it failed to
find any trace of the murderer. brought
to light a remarkable condition of af-
fairs i'm the Kinrade family. The in
vestigation showed that Florence Kin
rade, of attractive appearance and
fond of a gay life, was the pet of the
household, while the other daughter,
the slain one, was the family drudge.
Florence was a concert hall singer and
a frequenter of gay summer resorts,
while Ethel remained at home and did
the work While the others lived in
comfort, even luxury, Ethel Kinrade
was given mere closet for bedroom
and a bunk in which to rest.
At the preliminary hearing Florence
Kinrade was subjected to the sever
est cross examination, but her story
Of the tramp remained unshaken and
the other members of the family re-
fused TO throw any light on the crime.
From time TO time there have been
rumors of possible arrests and only a
few weeks ago it was reported that
the case was to be re-opencd and that
famous private detective had dis
covered a clue to the murderer But
so far as anything is known now the
mystery is likely to remain unsolved
and remembered for many years as the
most battling and absorbingly interest
ing criminal case In the records of
Canadian crime.
