PLANS READY SOON
FOR HOUSE OFFICES
Speaker Clark and Others in
Conferences Over Addition
For "Baby" Members.

Speaker Clark. Minority Leader
Mann. and other House leaders are
comforting daily with Superintendent
Elliott H. Woods, about the plans that
are being drawn for the extra story to
the House office building.
An. appropriation of s225,0N for this
work was included in the general effi-
cheney bill of the last session. 1t is
expected the plans will be completed
and the contract let within the next
few weeks, ard an effort will be made
10 have the new offices ready by the
next session OF Congress.
The new offices will house the
baby members of the House. who
are now quartered in the Maltby
building. near the Hotel Driscoll.
The present House office building
was not built with the idea of adding
another story, for at the time of its
construction the reapportionment bill
by which the membership in the House
was increased, had not been contem-
plated
The material and workmanship OF
the building is so perfect however
that the building can easily stand an
other story. it is thought. without tur'
ther reinforcement. CONSIDERABLE loss
will have to be sustained in the de
struction of the entire concrete rool
in adding the new story.
The architectural plans along which
the present building is constructed Will
OF course. be followed. The building
covers such a large ground space that
II is believed the addition of the new
story will scarcely be noticed. and the
general impression OF the building vii
be practically the same as IL is today
The new story is 10 contain forty-nint
offices.

STOP GARRISON WORK
/: /: OF STATE MILITIA
System of Schooling Instituted
=, Several Years Ago Cut Off
BY Secretary of War.

: Offcers Of the District Of Columbia
National Guard or the organized MILL
tias Of the various States and Terri
tories can not In the future be detailed
TO take courses Of instruction at garri-
son schools at the big army posts.
This system was inaugurated several
years ago, and a number of officers Of
the District National Guard have taken
the garrison school course, but under
recent notification from the Division of
Militia Affairs, War Department the
practice OF such details has been order
ed discontinued by Secretary Garrison.
It is held by the Secretary that since
the practice Of giving a theoretical
course was inaugurated in 1903. better
facilities have been provided for impart-
ing instruction and practical training in
Joint maneuver camps, and the in
spector-instructors detailed with each
organization.
II is held that the discontinuance OF
authority for attendance at garrison
schools is in no wise a curtailment OF
OPPORTUNITIES for militia officers to per.
feet themselves in the more advanced
courses since they still have the privi-
lege of attending the service schools.

ATTACKS ON WOMEN
AROUSE SENATORS
Investigation of Crime in Dis
trict Is Desired by Some
Lawmakers.

Stirred by the reports of attacks Of
colored men on white women in the
District, which are declared to tc in
creasing in frequency, Congress,
through one or both houses. is likely
TO take action soon, looking to an
investigation and to remedial measures.
"A Senate investigation is a possibility.
Senator Poindetxer of Washington,
whose sister-in-law. Mrs. Jorgenson,
was recently attacked while walking
along a much-freQuented street. is
giving the subject attention, 1t was
learned today. Senator Poindexter was
asked TO make a statement with refer
ence to the situation. but said he did
not desire to under the circumstances
at this time.
Not only Senator Polndexter, but
other Senators are giving thought to
the matter. Just what course IL will
take is not yet settled. 1t was learn
ed today that members of Congress are
getting information that there nave
been a number Of such attacks recenuy
which apparently have been kept more
or less under cover.
Desire To Get Facts.
tion is put into the Senate soon cali
ing for full Information from the Dis
trict Commissioners about the prevail
ence of crime in Washington; wheth-
or II is true, as alleged. that crime y
on the increase; whether the ponce
force is efficient or whether the situa-
tion is due to lack of police efficiency,
and what steps can be taken to deai
with the local problem of crime In
Washington.
In some quarters in Congress there is
a disposition to blame the police force
for lack of efficiency. The fiasco OF
March 3 respecting the suffrage parade,
has not helped the police in this re-
Closely connected with the whole
matter of crime in the District is the
slum question. One Senator declared
today that If the alley slums, W1icn are are
fesier spots of crime, were wiped out
ii would do much for better order. He
declared these places were breeding
places for crime
Crimes On Increase.
This Senator called attention to the
fact that s. s. Mcclure had presented
figures to show that murders In WASH
ington had increased from ten In lSG te
thirty In 1872 He said this was unusua
as compared with other cities. Even II

twenty murders last year and II nal

It is possible demand will be made
not merely for information from th'
Commissioners, but for Senate IN
vestigation by the District Committee
or a subcommittee of that body.
The question of whether there II

There was an interesting corn
show at the West Ely school house
last Friday. 1t was one of a series
of such meetings that are being
held in the townships of Marion
County under the direction of the
County Farm Adviser, Mr.. Lande.
This was the South River township
meeting and was very successful
The district schools in the territory
dismissed in the afternoon, and the
children were brought in farm wag-
ons to the corn show, which was
held under a tent on the school
grounds. There we're about a hun
dred school children present, be-
sides good number of older people.
The corn exhibit consisted of some
forty 1O-ear entries, half by the
boys, and half by the grown ups,
and lot of corn used for a boys
corn judging contest. There were
several entries also of bread and
cakes. There were talks to the
children on corn judging, soil fer
tility, crop rotation and domestic
science. About IS of the boys en-
tered the corn judging contest.
There was also a bread and cake
judging contest by the girls The
interest shown by the children in
this work is most encouraging.
There is no surer way to raise the
standard of agriculture, than by i'm
planting in the hearts of the chill
dren an enthusiasm for the new
and better methods in farming.
Mr.. Lande is doing a good work,
and deserves hearty support from
the people. w"
