THE PLANS
FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Lack of Appropriation Not to
Delay the Preparation
of Designs.

Notwithstanding the failure of the ap-
propriations committee of the House to
include in the District bill items recon-
mended by the Commissioners with which
to begin construction of the Central High
preparations are being made in the office
of the municipal architect looking toward
the immediate drawing of designs for the
proposed buildings.
1t was announced today that the archi-
tect's Office has completed plans for all
the school buildings authorized in the
current appropriation bill and that during
the remainder of the winter 1t will devote
considerable time to the preparation of
plans for the high schools, in anticipation
that the appropriations stricken out by
the House committee will be inserted in
the District bill when the measure is up
for consideration in the Senate.
Outside Firm May Aid.
According to the plans of the municipal
architect, it is stated, work will be COM
menced first on the drawings for the M
street school. 1t is possible that the plans
for the Central High School will be award
ed to an outside architect, as bill is
now pending in Congress which provides
for the transfer of the remainder of the
appropriation with which the Central High
School site was purchased for this pur-
pose.
The M street building will be the largest
and most expensive ever designed by the
municipal architects Office of the District.
The Normal School building, being erected
at 18th and Harvard streets, at cost of
s24O, 900, holds the record in this respect
at present.

Complaint Against Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
CAPITAL NEAR A BILLION
Methods Said to Resemble Standard
Oil and Tobacco.
NOT A NEW ONE
Department Of Justice Has Received
Similar Complaints Against
Message Service Concern.

NEW YORK, January 23.-A petition
to dissolve the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. on the ground that
it is monopoly in violation of the provi-
sions of the Sherman law. was made
public here today, few hours in advance
Of it's presentation to Attorney General
Wickersham in Washington.
According to the petition, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company. which
controls the Western Union Telegraph
Company and eight subsidiary telephone
companies in various parts Of the United
States. is one of the largest financial con-
Germs in the world, having a capital Of
nearly s1,OO0,OOO,OOO. and it now domi-
mates the telephone business Of the
country.
The petitioner points out that by rea-
son of the company's control Of subsid-
larry concerns in all parts of the coun-
try the independents are practically
barred from competition. 1t is charged
that the operations Of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company in the
requirement of control of these subsid-
larry companies were practically identical
with the operation of the Standard Oil
and tobacco trusts, which were declared
illegal by the United States Supreme
Court
Methods Are Familiar.
While bigness alone does not make a
corporation an unlawful MONOPOLY says
the petition, ait Is certain that an investi-
cation Of this gigantic corporation will
show that it's history is replete with acts
and manipulations for the obvious pur-
pose of obtaining control of the tele-
phone business in this country, OF a
character that have been unequivocally
condemned by the Supreme Court of the
United States"
erations of the alleged telephone trust
in Ohio, Kansas City and Salt Lake City.
The statement is made that in all parts
of the west the Independent telephone
exchanges are threatened with extinc-
ton.
