Should Bond Themselves.

/ agree in part with the suggestion that
| architects and builders be required to
bond themselves to keep faith with their
! clients. No reason is seen for such re-
quirement in the case of the architect,
as his work, as indicated above, may be
approved or vetoed before the owner has
a chance TO get "stung.' In the case of
the contractor his work cannot be in
spected in it's entirety until completed,
hence the opportunity for dishonest sub
sttutiOn of workmanship and material
fluence upon his cupidity, such as a bond
would furnish. II, in truth, licensing
architects and builders and putting them
under bond would accomplish al that the
gentleman would have us believe. the
building inspectors office might well be
abolished and the settlement of questions
relating to the building game be left to
our courts.
The gentleman deplores the fact that
miles and miles of our residence streets
are utterly spoiled by dismally monoto-
nous speculative rows and limerick
houses painted the colors of the rain
bow
Ii is a question how far the fathery
District government could legally go in
remedying the condition complained of
without involving itself in litigation and
bucking mp against the constitutional
| right of the citizen-rights too frequently
| transgressed and too infrequently de-
| Tended 1t is safe guess that these
speculative rows are not designed by
| the draughtsman to whom the poor man

| architectural nightmares in the city are
| not to be found in the haunts of the

'I cannot recall it," said Lowry.
Lowry told the committee about
sugar at a Second Glance" This is
the pamphlet he issued in answer to the
sugar tariff advocates. He denied. it
was widely circulated, and said he only
got out LOO copies. Senator Ollie
James name was dragged in. Senator
James got it printed as document.
Lowry will make statements in the
course of his testimony, which was not
completed when the committee recessed,
on the relations of the other refining
interests to his efforts for the Federal
Sugar Refining Company.
) Melville E. Stone, general manager
of the Associated Press, explained
references to the Associated Press in
letters of C. c. Hamlin, one Of the
beet sugar chiefs. MI Stone pro-
duced all his correspondence on the
subject It showed that October u,
1911. the Associated Press had car
ried a statement of John Arbuckle,
the prominent refiner, advocating free
raw sugar. 1t was because of that
that Mr.. Hamlin, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the United
States Beet Sugar Industry. sought
TO get the Associated Press to carry
a statement for the beet sugar inter-
ests. The whole correspondence show
ed that Mr.. Stone had given orders
simply that both sides of the con-
troversy be treated fairly.
The committee was appealed to by
William Whitmon, of Boston, the wool
man, to be heard out of order, as his
son had been operated on for appendi-
citis. The committee held an executive
session and excused Mr.. Whitmon for
the time being.
Charles B. Warren, of Michigan,
asked to be heard out of order, but
the committee declined.
