Schumachers company, and the result is
that Alabama furnishes the supports for
the lights constituting the nations capi-
tai great white way.
In the course of time, PENNSYLVANIA
avenue will become the most attractive
and the most famous street in the world.
The government has some ambitious
schemes for the beautifying OF Wash-
irgton, and a part of these schemes enn-
braces some wonderful improvements for
Pennsylvania avenue.
Much of the property on the nuttheast
side of the avenue is owned by the gov-
ernment, and was bought several years
ago for the purposes of enlargiiig the
area known as the Mall. where it is
planned to assemble as many OF the great
government buildings sas possible. Ht
present the government is renting ,lozens
of office buildings In Washington and
paying out annually many thousands of
dollars. Many of the great departmants
and bureaus are badly hampered because
their forces are scattered In different aec~
tions of the city. The state. war aud
navy building, built many years ago. and
at that time large enough to supply the
needs Of the department of state. the
department of war, and the departmoI
of the navy, has long ago been sillod to
ovcrflowing, and branch Offices had t.
be obtained. Other departments are as
had. and some worse off, the department t
of justice occupying rented quarters.
So when the plans of the government
are completed Pennsylvania avenue and
eEvirons northeast will be a mass OF
great government buildings. Aicng this
avenue, Alabama will have monument

may thank Mr.. Schumacher and Repre-

Washington, january 23.-(SpecialD
Washington is now a beautifully illumi-
mated city, but along about the last. CT
this month Pennsylvania avenue wiil be-
come a Great White Way indeed and
in fact, and Alabama will play quite
conspicuous part in this new illumlna-
ton.
From the White House to the capitol
along Pennsylvania avenue there are now
being installed new ornamental posts for
lighting purposes; these posts were made
by an Alabama enterprise. and made OF
Alabama iron. They win shed I bril-
lianey and food of light over this broad
thoroughfare, of 1900 candlepowoi each.
The avenue is perhaps the aroadest
street in the country, and the space from
sidewalk to sidewalk on dark night eats
up lots of light. The Union Foundry
company of Admission got the contract SGr
furnishing these new posts. put only
after a hard fight was put up by Gerard
Schumacher, general manager of the
company, aided by Representative red
Blackmon
The district commissioners, when this
scheme of illumination was decided upon,
asked for bids for the posts. Dozens of
concerns from different sections of the
country submitted proposals fer the
work. Mr.. Schumacher was underbid by
two of his competitors. In spite of this
fact, however, he was able to convince
the commissioners of the superiority OF
material and workmanship OF his POSTS.
and secured the contract. But lie was
not to get off this lightly. No sooner die
the commissioners come to this con-
clusion than the concerns who had made
the lower bids appealed to the district
committee of the House of Representa-
dives. and then the real fight began.
Hearings were conducted and the entire
matter gone over In every detail After
hearing all the evidence and the report
of the engineers as to the merits of
