CLAIM PROVISIONS DRASTIC.
District Heads Send Adverse Report
on MARITIME Building Bill.

Claiming the provisions of the meas

construct in the District any building
composed of brick or a substitute for
brick over fifteen feet high. fifteen
feet wide and fifteen feet long with
walls less than thirteen inches in thick
ness, except interior walls other than

The building regulations in WASH
inston, the Commissioners point out.
permit two-story dwellings and other
small buildings not over twentN-three
feet high and not in excess OF l.2oo
square feet in area to he built of nlne-
inch walls. They express the opinion
that the proposed legislation would
ork q hardship on the small nome

eft accruing TO the community at

HUGHES STILL SILENT.

TT must be evident to every one who

fruit in distrust; the action of state
committee after state committee of the
Progressive party in refusing to en-
dorse the Republican nominee; the OPP
EN- avowal of many leading independ-

WASHINGTON Sen. Lewis, Demo-
cratic whip, speaking in the senate
Saturday in reply to an attack on the
administration by Charles E. Hughes
in his speech accepting the Republican
presidential nomination, declared Re-
publican structures on the administra-
tons Mexican policy were treason
able" He charged that the clause in
the Republican platform regulating
interference in internal affairs of Mex

of American troops at Carrizal.
Not until the captains of the Re-

THE WILSON ADMINIsTRATIONAND THE FARMER.

~ EMOCRATIC DEEDS in the inter
Of the American farmer, are
Strikingly analysed by the st.
Louis Republican in the following sur
vey of what the Wilson administration
has done:
"The country's greatest business is
that of farming. More money is in
vested in farms than in railroads or
factories. Yet near to so years of Re-
publican domination in the field of
federal government went by without
any attempt on the part of the gov
eminent to take any account Of the
farmers business problems, except to
try to persuade him that he was ben
Gifted by a tariff on wheat, potatoes,
ETC., which never operated at all-on
account of our great surplus of these

farmer to buy seed abroad, in which
case he paid the tariff himself"

power for three years. 1t has formu-

TO THE CREDIT OF MR.. BRYAN.

n NE of the best and most import
ant services rendered to the
American people by Mr. Will
liam j. Bryan during his term as U. S.
secretary of state was in putting
through many treaties between this
country and other nations, prohibiting
either to come to war with the other
until year has passed from the time
the dispute arose. In this achievement
there may not have been anything that
partakes of the nature of high tri-
'umph in diplomacy; but it was none
the less a meritorious endeavor and
accomplishment in the interest of
vorld-peace, arbitration and human
brotherhood; and with it Mr.. Bryan's
name deserves to be favorably and
permanently linked
In all, some 30 nations have sign
ed these treaties with the United
States allowing time for discussion
before hostilities. By exchange of ra-
tifications, such agreements have been
made elective with the following:
Guatemala, Great Britain, Costa RIGA,
Norway Portugal, Paraguay, Spain,
Peru, Bolivia, Sweden, Denmark,
France, Russia, Uruguay and Italy
Exchange of notifications with other
nations not above named was not
completed before the outbreak of the
European war, hence the treaties with
those powers, although signed, have
not yet become operative. Since the
cataclysm of two years ago the state
department of this government and
the foreign departments of others
have been too busily occupied with
new problems to bestow upon this sub
ject the favor it would otherwise have

Agreement Provides for Purchase

Senate.

WASHINGTON - Purchase by the
United States of the islands of St
Thomas, st. Croix and st. John, lying
to the east of Porto Rico and com
prising an archipelago known as the
Danish West Indies, is provided for in
a treaty signed Friday by the United
States and Denmark. 1t will be sub
mitted at once to the United States
senate and the Danish parliament,
whose notifications are necessary to
complete the purchase agreement.
No serious opposition is expected in
the senate. Since the negotiations be-
gan several months ago the foreign
relations committee has been in close
touch with developments, and it's mem
bers are understood virtually to be I'M
animous in their approval The only
objection is expected to come from
senators who believe the purchase
price of $25,OOO,OOO too great.
Details of the pact will not be made
public until it is transmitted to the
senate 1t is understood to provide,
however, for complete acquisition Of
the islands, but to stipulate that Dan
ish business interests there shall be
guaranteed protection.
A clause also is included ceding to
Denmark the underlined American
rights of discovery in Greenland, a
Danish possession.
Senator Lodge emphasized in his
statement Friday night the possibility
that the islands, if not acquired by
the United States, might fall into to
hands of some European power a

might easily lead to war"-a consid-
Grafton which, it is understood, has

officials here in their negotiations for
the purchase.
