FIathorns the Moose Is Smart.

Peter Rabbit was so excited that he
couldn't sit still as he listened to the
story told by Honker the Goose Of how
Flathorn the Moose had got oven with the
hunter and had kept him In a tree all
night. When Honker paused as II that

breathlessly.

Big Money for Site.

II understand" the informant con-
cluded. that this parcel Of real estate
has cost the Federal League hackers
upward Of 100000"
This estimate Of values more than
any other feature OF the narrative
tends to corroborate the story OF the
real estate man that the Federal
League has planned to locate at 146th
street and Lenox avenue. Gilmore. In
his talk yesterday, intimated that the
new site his hackers have In mind
had been purchased for approximately
$650.000. This, moreover. Is one of the
two sites in Manhattan available which
has direct subway connections. The
other is the ground at 225th street and
Broadway. whore Frank Farrell and
his associates had intended to build.
The controlling company of the 225th
street plot paid moro than a million for
this Spuyten Duyvtl property, and q
year ago had set a value of approx
mately million and a half upon it. 1t
is unlikely that Gilmore and his asso-
ciates could have obtained such a bar
gain as $650.000 from Farrell and his
associates.

Feds Must Close Two Streets.

It was learned yesterday afternoon
on apparently good authority that the
Federal League has selected the site
near Lenox avenue and 145th street for
its Manhattan home. A prominent real
estate man. who is on the inside, de-
clared that within the last few weeks
agents of the independent circuit have
purchased practically all Of the real
estate between 1920 and 145th streets
and between Lenox avenue and the
river. Messrs. Rupert and Huston.
owners Of the Yankees at one time heid
an option on this property. They gave
up the idea Of locating there because
the venture would entail a great deal
of piling and filling in Of land now
covered by water.
II give you every assurance" said
this real estate man. that this site
has been chosen by the Federal
League. However, the purchase OF the
property does not solve the greatest
difficulty of the Federal League. II
will be necessary for the independent

In Private Sanitarium Here.

Knox, who, it is stated, was tempo
rarily out of Office as surveyor of GUS
toms for the port of New Orleans. came
to this city September II for the pur-
pose of discussing his affairs with Sec
retary McAdoo- in an effort to be re-
instated. His actions were such that
charge of insanity was preferred
against him and he was taken to Wash
ington Asylum Hospital for observa-

patient and had him transferred to
private sanatorium. Knox was released
from the sanatorium about week ago
and taken home.

ASKS FOR NEW BUILDING
FOR STATE DEPARTMENT
Secretary Lansing Points Out Crowd
ed Condition of Various Bureaus
in the "Annexes."

The need of new building to accom-
modate the growing needs of the state
Department, now mainly housed In the
southern wing of the State. War and
Navy building, is again urged upon
Congress in a. memorandum submitted
by Secretary Lansing.
THE department" Secretary Lansing
says. has for some years outgrown Its
present quarters and has had to house
in outlying buildings several Of its
most important bureaus, every one of
which has been virtually affected by
conditions arising from the European
war. Their quarters are inadequate
and inconvenient. One of these annexes
is private dwelling, overcrowded with
clerks and overloaded with valuable
records subject to total loss in case of

Site Already Provided.

while Congress has provided pre-
liminary plans and a site for q much
needed building for the department, no
progress has been made toward its
erection nor is any immediate progress
in apparent contemplation. 1t seems
necessary, therefore. to invoke private
enterprise to relieve the departments
present deplorable lack of proper ac-
commodation.
TT is believed that private capital
may be sufficiently interested to con-
struct d building adequately adapted
