Had to Dynamite It.

ut was about the close of the Roosevelt
administration or at the beginning, I am
not sure which, and I think at the begin
ming of his second administration. The
Department of Justice was housed on this
lot adjacent to the Riggs Bank, and they
complained, you know, that the building
in which 1t was housed was going to fall
down. Well. they had to dynamite it al
most to get it down, but the building
where the Department of Justice was was
torn down. The United States acquired
the balance of the property and was going
to build a practical building that would
look well architecturally in comparison
with the Riggs Bank building and the
other buildings along there, and the cost
was to be 100000. Lo. and behold, it
was not built!
IT think shall vote for this amendment.
/ am not afraid that the Treasury De-
bartment or the President, who first is
sued the order the gentleman speaks of
and who could ask the resignation Of the
Secretary OF the Treasury at any time
will sanction the construction of a build
ing there that will be unsightly. Under
this provision-otherwiseI / would not vote
for it-I think that we shall be able &c
have speedy plans for this building an6
that we can have constructed there a prac
tical office building inside with such ar.
chitectural design outside as will CORE
spond with the Riggs Bank building anC
the surroundings. Let US do something
practical and let US do 1t nowm

History by Mr.. Cannon.

Representative Cannon, who voted
for the amendment to eliminate the
Fine Arts Commission from the bill, eN-
planned a bit of congressional history.
He said:
Much has been said about the Fine
Arts Commission. They have been very
useful. and still. if l understand right
much Of the work that they have out
lined has been so expensive. as 1t SEEM
ed to Congress. that it has not been
entered upon. Twelve years ago, if /
am right. at least that long ago. we
commenced to get site for the Depart
ment of Justice and the State Depart
ment and the Navy Department, from
Pennsylvania avenue down to the
Monument grounds. and from the
White Lot over to 14th street, and at
great expense we condemned that
property, and then the architects COM
menced, and they not only bossed the
architectural part outside, but they
divided it up. and when 1t came to the
committee on appropriations to report
a bill, or to the committee on public
buildings and grounds-and I think
it was the committee on appropria-
tions. because it was authorized. if 1
recollect right-the plans for the build
ings were SO expensive that the ap-
propriationA were not made.

From the New York Tribune Today.
Jeremiah A. OLeary's letter to Bernard
Ridder. advising him to oppose the war
and to put punch into his editorials, was
found by agents of the Department of
Justice in the private files of the editor

Volunteered Use of Files.


"A week or SO ago said Mr.. Ridder,
following the raid on the offices of the
Philadelphia Tageblatt. | invited the gov
ernment to investigate anything they de-
sired in the office of the Staats-Zetung.
This invitation was prompted by the un-
just reflections made on the Staats-Zei-
tung at the time of the Tagebatt raid.
An agent of the Department of Justice
came to my office and asked if l was
willing that he should look over my letter
files. l told him he could look over every
thing and sent over to his office all my
letter files. In one of them was the letter
from Mr.. OLeary.F
Mr.. Ridder said that when the editor
of Bull wrote in the letter that his
tO'Leary's) public views and Mr.. Rid
der's private views were identical, that he
was not writing the truth.
O'Leary was reported out of town yes
terday.
