ENGRAVING BUREAU
PLANNED AS MODEL
FOR BIG FACTORIES
Government Making Record
in Matter of Quick
Construction.

Uncle Sam Is putting up a building
that Is going to be model for factories
and manufacturing plants AL over the
country. This is the new building of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The contract for this building vas not
let until last winter, but the structure
Is already far under way. The building
VIII be completed and ready for occu-
pancy by the thousands OF employees
who will utilize 1t next summer. This
will be record smashing time for the
construction of Government build
Ing. Such progress is being made with
the work that already tho foundations
are in, steel work up, the faclngs are
being constructed. and the ocInent floors
are being run. 1t is not rIgnt 20 say
the floors are being laid for by a new
process they are being run. and the
Secretary MacVeagh has had two
IDEAS uppermost in the construction Of
ster manufacturing plant. the plant
where the Government makes the
money. One is to demonstrate that
the Government can get building
Germ. The other Is to make the build
Ing an absolute model OF perfection
from the standpoint OF all that apper-
tains to hygiene and sanitation and the
women who are employed there.
The construction of the building has
got to a point where 1t is certain the
building will be put up in record break
ing time for Government building, and
In time that compares favorably with
the swift construction OF private build
ings in New York, Chicago, and other
centers. Night and day forces OF men
are at work. Every device that can be
used Tor the purpose of saving time is
used. Materials are not being hauled
with wagons and teams to any consider
able extent. The bulk of the materials
are hauled right to the new building
on railroad cars running over a spur of
track laid for the purpose. Moreover.
at one point where the track would
1t is put down about 2 o'clock in the
morning, the cars run in and out, and
then removed, 30 as not to inter
fere with the street car service or the
public use of the street in the daytime.
:, When it comes to hygienic and sani-
tary provisions. the new building will
be as near perfect as forethought can
make 1t. Superbly lighted, with the
most perfect ventilation. nothing will be
left undone to make the employees
being an expense, Secretary MacVeagh
believes such provisions will be economy
to the Government in the long run. In
addition to such common accessories
as wash rooms and the like on every
floor, there will be rest room for
women and one for men on every floor
A good lunch room will be established
where employees can get service at low
rates.
One Of the finest features will be a
roof garden. Here employees who do not
want to leave the building at the noon
hour, because 1t Is not convenient, or
because of bad weather, can get fresh
air without leaving the establishment

DISTRICT PAPERS,
BOOTYOF BURGLAR,
FOUND IN STREET
Official Papers of Deputy
Auditor Searched, Then
Thrown Away.

Mystery surrounds the motive that
prompted a housebreaker to ransack
the apartment of Daniel j. Donovan,
deputy auditor for the District, in the
Euclid, 1856 Euclid street northwest,
and leave undisturbed a number of ar
ticles OF value. So far as Mr.. Donovan
has been able to determine nothing
was stolen, although a number of
papers, vouchers and other documents
relating to District business, were found
today strewn along Euclid and Four
teenth streets. All Of the papers were
recovered.
The apartment was entered between
8 and IL o'clock last night, while men,
bers of the family were out. When Mr..
Donovan got home he found that a
desk in the living room had been al
most torn to pieces and the contents
scattered on the bed. The only thing
missing was package of official
papers. none of which were negotiable
self.
He was considerably surprised when
he started for work this morning to
find these papers strewn along the
street. He succeeded in recovering
every one. '...
All Matters of Record.
Mr.. Donovan is at a loss to under
stand for what he'intruder was search
ing. He says he has no personal papers
Of any value which he keeps in the
apartment and that the District papers
In his possession are not only Of no
value but contain no information that
is not a matter of public record.
Entrance to the apartment was ef-
fected through rear window, which
had been left OPEN. The housebreaker
left by the front door, which he left
ajar. Persons living across the street

strange man moving around in the
apartment, but he worked so boldly
there was nothing about his actions to
arouse their suspicious; He had all
the trouble to pull down the shades.
The fact that a bottle of ink had
been spilled over the bed led Mr.. Don
0yan to believe fGS at first that the cat
morning, when he found the papers
strewn along the street, he was con-
WINGED that it was the work of some
one evidently seeking a paper or docu-
rnent which he believed Mr.. Donovan
Kept In his apartment.
Papers Strewn in Street.
Detectives who investigated the case
ray they believe the man took the bun
dle' of District papers, thinking the one
he wanted was in the package. They
believe he opened 1t as soon as he left

as fast as he found they were not the
ones me sought.
That robbery was not the motive for
breaking into the apartment Is evil
denced by that fact that articles of
value were undisturbed. while the desk
vas literally torn to pieces, the thief
evidently seeking some private drawer
or hiding place for papers.
Persons who saw the intruder in the
apartment We're unable to give the po-
lice any description, except that he was
a white man.

EXPRESS OFFICERS
PLAN TO RESIST
RATE REDUCTION
October Sitting of Commerce
Commission Will Hear
Protests.

Representatives Of express companies
VIII appear before the Interstate Com
merce commission one month from to-
oay 10 snow cause why the reduced
rates recently promulgated by the COM
mission shall not become effective.
When these rates were first announced
II was rumored that the express COM
panies would not oppose them. Now,
from New York reports. where most
Oh the companies have their general Of
hces, 1t appears that they will fight the
reductions proposed by the commission.
When the rates we're first published
Congress was busily engaged in con-
sideration of the parcels post question.
a material part of which was the prop
osition that the Government should
take over the express companies.
In the heat of that discussion It was
asserted with confidence that the ex-
press companies would accept the re-
auctions proposed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission as the only sure
way TO avoid condemnation and pur-
chase by the Government.
Parcels Post a Factor.
The parcels post legislation which
finally came from Congress covered only
a small part of the territory which par
GELS post advocates hoped would be en-
braced. 1t limits the weight of pack
ages to eleven pounds. The system Is
suppt sed to be in operation about jan
uary l.
The effect OF this legislation Oh the
attitude OF the express companies
toward the reductions proposed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission is one
OF the most interesting features Of the
situation.
The small package business of the ex-
press companies Is extremely large but
ls not the most profitable Of its busi-
ness. III the institution OF a limited par
Ceis post were to take from express
companies the handling of all packages
weighing eleven pounds or less the
amount or damage sustained by the
companies is problematical.
Railroads Bothered.
The railroads are certain to be hit.

press companies on a revenue basis
The small packages are handled at
rates which provide a very high reve-
nue.. II tonnage alone is considered.
Consequently the railroads will lose

tinue to handle the bulkier business for
the express companies on which the lat

No replies In these cases have yet
been filed with the commission. Com
missioner Lane, who had the express
rate question in charge. is still out of
Washington and will probably not re-
turn until the latter part OF this month.

Awakening at o'clock, the father

window.
A few minutes later the pair carried
their clothing to the hallway, dressed.
