BUILDINGS INSPECTED
AS TO THEIR SANITATION
Department of Agriculture Is
Being Investigated by
Expert.

The Department of Agriculture was un-
dergoing an vestigation as to its SANTA
ton today, the latest Of the departments
to be visited by Passed Assistant Surgeon
B. S. Warren Of the public health and
marine hospital service in general ex-
animation Of all the government build
ings in the city, ordered by President
Taft.
Although the main buildings of the
various departments are proving to be in
pretty good shape from a sanitary stand
point. 1t is said that conditions in some
Of the smaller rented buildings occupied
by departmental bureaus are not at all
good. and. in fact are a menace to
health.
This is true particularly in some of the
older buildings which are rented by the
given attention is the space allotted the
employees. In some OF the buildings 1t
has been found that the clerks are crowd
ed together too much.
May Be Specially Detailed.
The fact that this investigation of
sanitary conditions in the government
buildings is to be made a permanent
feature Of the governments care for
it's employees was emphasized today. 1t
appears likely that an official of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice will be detailed for this work es
pecially.
About a year ago a subcommittee Of
the House committee on public build
ings and grounds made the rounds of
the government buildings particularly
with a view to seeing that the en-
ployes were safeguarded in case of
fire, and also to ind out whether the
sanitary conditions were good. The
members Of Congress were impressed
in a number Of cases with the lack Of
care. SO far as sanitation was concern
ed, and did not hesitate to speak their
minds on the subject.

No Thought Of Armed Intervention.

There is still no thought OF armed in
tervention by the United States in Mexi-
co; on that point the officials are posi-
tive. AS explained at the State Depart
ment the adoption OF a contrary course
and the announcement OF a purpose to
dispatch American troops across the bor-

deeply stirring the patriotic feeling of the
Mexican people as to cause them to rally

tos, which Is something the American
