GUARD BUILDINGS

Department Heads Arrange for
Extra Protection During
inaugural.

Government buildings are being
guarded with more vigilance now
than ever before during an inaugural
period as a result of the activities OF
| spies, bomb plotters and others un-
friendly to the United States. As, a
precautionary measure none OF the
department buildings will be open to
the public tomorrow.
The White House and the State,
War and Navy building have been
closed to visitors for some time be-
cause. OF the friction between this
country and Germany, and guards
have been maintained at both places.
about the places for Inauguration
week.
The first steps TO protect more care
fully the State. War and Navy build
ing were taken shortly after the in
auguration of President Wilson in
1913, following the mysterious disap-
pearance OF the plans for the battle
ship Pennsylvania on the night OF in
auguration day. It was freely admit
ted by Government SIIIcials that IT
was suspected that the agent of a
foreign power entered the' building
while other visitors were making a
tour Of inspection and stole the plans.
Navy Department officials have al
ways concealed the result of the
searching investigation that was
made to recover the plans. which in
cIuded charts and diagrams showing
in detail the construction OF the
dreadnaught.
Access to the State. War and Navy
building can now be obtained only
by means of a pass. The same rule
prevails at the White House, which
has been closed to outsiders since the
rupture OF relations between the
United States and Germany.
The Washington Monument will be
open on Monday from 1890 p. m. to
4:3O ID. M, but will be closed during
the remainder OF the day. and will be
closely guarded against would-be
bomb plotters.
Similar caution against bomb dis
asters has been taken by Elliott
Woods. superintendent OF the Capitol.
4 force of extra policemen are on
hand to help the regular force.
The Public Library will not be open
tomorrow on account of the iaaugu-
ration.
The Congressional Library will be
closed tomorrow until . .. M The
exhibition halls and corridors OF the
library building will be open from
to 10 o. m. All passes s<eXcept those
held by chiefs OF divisions and spe-
cial passes for the day will be sus-
pended.

the stone company's wharf by teIe-
phone and then rowed over to the
drifting boat.
Tate's body was found lying In the
pilot house. The engine was still
running. At first 1t was thought
heart disease had caused death.

that Tate closed the engine room to

which was generated in the incIosed

Adoption of Plan in Schools.

Encourage children to do garden

This is the advice of DR.. p. p.
claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education, in a bulletin just Is
sued.
There are 100000 boys and girls
between the ages OF nine and sixteen
in the schools of the United States"
declared DR.. Claxton. Most of them
are idle for more than half the year.

It is estimated that through these

Washington, d. c., Nov. s.-Americans

of the $3,000,O0O,O00 asked, and only
1888, 100000 less than the $1,000, 100000
maximum fixed by the treasury.
Tabulations completed last night, II
days after the close of the nationwide
bond selling campaign, showed that every
federal reserve district exceeded its quota
and 100000 persons subscribed in the
big war financing operation which Sec
retary McAdoo described as the greatest
ever attempted by any government.
Half of the oyersubscribed sum will
be accepted making the actual total OF
bonds to be issued S3,s0S, ,766, l50
Ninety nine per cent of the subscrib
ers will receive the amount for which
they bargained all subscriptions for $780,
900 or less being allotted in full and
those above that amount being pared
down in varying proportions, ranging
from 90 per cent allowance on subscrip-
tions between $4,000 and 100000 to 40

London, Nov. S.--Field Marshal Wis

that comes forward helps her country by
releasing man. We appeal to them to
answer the call"
George HI. Roberts, minister of labor.

won by the allies, whatever setbacks the

Considerable 5 inished
Work in the Plant

Mortified, Nov. S.--The Gomez &
Higuera granite plant, with all its con
tents, was destroyed by fire early this
morning, the loss being estimated at So
900, which is partly covered by insur-
ance. Considerable other property in the
vicinity, including the storehouses of
Duke g. Harrigan, w. Fl. Moriarty, c. s.
Richmond g. Son and the III. n Alden
blacksmith shop, was endangered; and
the last named building was scorched on
one end. The cause of the fire has not
been determined
The fire was discovered at about |
o'clock by employees at the Central Ver-
mont station which is located a short
distance north of the Gomez & Higuera
stone shed. The alarm was giver but
when the firemen arrived they found
that the entire property was i'll flames
and although they turned water on the
building it was not possible to save it
or any of the contents. All the Office
records, contracts, etc, were destroyed,
while a considerable amount of finished
work inside the cutting sec
tion was also lost. Seeing that it would
be impossible to save that property the
firemen turned their efforts toward pro-
lecting the building adjoining and they
we're successful in that. The Phillips &
Slack stoneshed is located across the
street, but was not in particular danger
after the tiremen got to work.
