INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
TO HAVE NEW HOME SOON
Construction of Model Work Build
ing to Start Early
Next Year.

Plans for the new two-and- u half
million dollar administration building
of the Interior Department. to occupy
the block bounded by 18th and 18th
and E and F streets northwest. are
rapidly nearing perfection in the Office
of Oscar Wenderoth, supervising archi-
tect, at the Treasury Department.
Construction probably will start some
time early next year. The approprla-
ton was an item in the public build
ing bill of 1913. declared to be the last
signed by President Taft.
Workshop Not Show Place.
The new building will be workshop,
not a show place, officials declare The
site selected was chosen because it is,
in q measure, "out of the way.
The building, with a frontage of some
400 feet on F street, will be of tapestry
brick, with some slight stone trim
ming The aim of the architects has
been to plan and that of the builders
will be to erect a model government
building from the standpoint OF
''usable" Office building.
Light Is Big Feature.
The building is to be in the form
of three LIS" extending back from the
frontage on F street, each IL to be
about fifty-one feet in width, contain l.
ing a corridor down the center and
rooms on each side. Every room is to
be an outside room, approximately
twenty feet in depth. The courts be-
tween the LIS" will be something like
120 feet in width.
The special feature of the building,
and one on which all officials of the
Department of the Interior have in
sisted since it was first contemplated.
will be the windows. They will allow
every room in the whole enormous
structure to be flooded with all the
light there is.
The building is to be six stories in
height. The geological survey. now
housed on + street between 14th and 18th
streets. will occupy the entire center sec
ton. The office of the Secretary of the
Interior will be moved from the building
at 9th and F streets and will occupy the
east IL" in conjunction with the Indian
office, the reclamation service and the bu-
reau of mines. When Secretary Lanes
Office moves from the building at 9th and
F streets the whole of the old building
will then be occupied by the patent office,
which has been clamoring for room for
some time, officials state.

Trade and Civic Bodies to

Abrogation of Organic Act

The action of the House. sitting in
committee of the whole, yesterday in
adopting the johnson amendment to
the District appropriation bill which
annuls the half-and-half plan for de-
fraying the expenses of the National
Capitol will not discourage the efforts
of the trade and civic organizations of

Says Congress Thinks This
Is City of MiIIionaires

That many members of Congress do
not understand conditions in the DIS
trict; that they are of opinion wash
ington is a city of millionaires and
therefore. are opposed to the arrange
ment under which the United States
pays half the cost of the upkeep of the
municipality, was the view expressed
last night by Representative Fowler
of Illinois in an address at the annual
banquet of the Temporary Home for
Ex-Union Soldiers and Sailors, at 301
street northwest.
If Congress could be made to under
stand the real situation and to realize
that the so-called millionaire Washing
tonians are for the most part winter
residents of the city, and that the great
bulk of the population is made up of
permanent residents of moderate
means. it could be depended upon to
take an altogether different view of
the matter and do all by Washington
that could be expected. he predicted.
John Joy Edison. president Of the
District board of charities, also dis
cussed the attack on the half-and- half
principle and expressed the belief that
II Congress understood conditions in
the District it could be relied upon to
do what was right. He urged that if
contribution plan it be adopted only
after the matter has been thoroughly
considered by a joint committee of the
House and Senate, just as the plan
itself was adopted in 1873. after hav-
ing been made the subject of an ex-
haustive study by joint congressional
commission.
The banquet. which followed a vista
tion to the home by the District branch
of the G. A. R.. was presided over by
Col. Thomas 5. Hopkins. George $.

ties. and several others spoke. A. A.

Columbia they will vote to defeat the
johnson measure when consideration ls
given to the appropriation bill as a
whole With this in view they are
press upon the minds of members OF
the House the injustice of Representa- a
tive Johnson's proposal. which repeals
the half-and-half provision Of the or
ganic act and substitutes a sliding
scale of federal participation in the
National Capital maintenance. with the
District spending all it's revenues and
the United States contributing the bal
ance of the appropriations.
Hopes for Full Vote.
1T is hoped that every member of the
House will be present when a yea and
nay vote is taken on the amendment
adopted today abolishing the half-and-
half arrangement said Henry B. F.
Macfarland, chairman of the executive
committee of the committee of one
hundred. last night
Surely the great majority of the
House Will not permit a measure of
such vital Importance to the National
Capital to be passed without more
consideration. Four years study was
given to the matter before the act of
1878 was adopted. 1t ought not to be
repealed indirectly in rider on an appro-
piii ditcI DTlcl discussion. Ia any
such action is proposed, il ought to be
after long and thorough inquiry, and in
a separate measure. In that event such
radical action would not be taken. for
the inquiry would disclose the unan-
sWerable reasons why the present ar
rangement should be continued
We feel that the great majority of
the members of Congress are friendly
to the National Capital, as indeed
would be natural since it is their capi-

Contradicts Statements,

Il have heard it repeatedly stated in
discussion on this floor that real estate
owners within the District of Columbia
pay very much lower taxes in propor-
tion to the actual value of their hold
ings than are paid by property owners
in almost every other city of any i'm
portance in the Union. Based on nv
experience, / say that this statement is
inaccurate. I pay taxes on a number
of parcels of real estate distributed
through four boroughs of the city Of
New York and in the city of Yonkers,
as we'll as on a modest house / own
within the District of Columbia, and
the general average paid ON my New
York and Yonkers property in proper
tion to it's true value is less than l pay
on the house in the District of Column
bia.
Il should not consent to have my
constituents pay one cent of taxes to
relieve residents and property owners
within the District of Columbia from
the payment of any sum properly
chargeable against them. The cost
should be divided in proportion to the
respective interests and ownerships to
be maintained and protected.
II have no more fear of violating the
sanctity of the so-called half-and-half
plan by changing 1t to one more equita-
BILE than the gentleman from Ken

the sanctity of Saturday afternoon in

most dangerous practices against
which he warned his auditors was that
Of injecting paraffin in the face to fill

He urged men to shave at home, say
ing that many skin troubles originated

saying that hereditary cases are be-
yond the skill of medical science
Dr. Hazen likened the use of rouge
on the face of young women to daub-
ing advertising signs on the palisades
of the Hudson. Hot water should be
used on the face for cleansing pur-
poses, but should not be used immedi-
ately before going out, he said. Cold
water baths, he said, should be taken
only by the hearty.
