GarUdn AnslUers Suit
Filed by Former Consul

Hugo Thorsch, former United

who sued Francis p. Garvan, Alien
Property Custodian, to recover $685.
061.36 for property seized after the
declaration of war with Germany
under the trading g-with-the-enemy
act, was criticised yesterday by
Garvan in the answer of the latter
filed in the District Supreme Court
yesterday.
The Alien Property Custodian
asks the dismissal Of the suit, and
states that Thorsch knew that the
United States contemplated max
ing war upon Germany when he
bought $3.50 shares Of stock of the
Werner-Pfhederer Company. Of Sag

PAIRIhEN RACE
AGAINST TINE ON
CAPITOL FLOORS
Beautiful New Thing Elk.
pected to Greet New
Congress Session.

Eleven tile settlers have been
brought to Washington from New
York. Phiiadelphia and elsewhere to
rush the work Of relaying the hoors
In the south wing Of the Capitol.
That portion Of the great building
on the Hill is all disheveled now as
the troweis ny. for q contract reads
that the floors upon which restora-
tion work was begun last spring
must be completed before the new
session Of Congress opens. 1t was
held up last December by the con-
vening OF the short session of the
Sixty-sixth Congress.
In Alabama white and Tennessee
dark marble the new floors will be
more beautiful, perhaps. than in any
other government building with, the
exception Of the Congressional IL
brary. In the Statuary Hall and
parts Of the corridors where the
new marble In large patterns has
been laid the contrast with the old
flooring. which was Of small pat
terms and very dark. is strikingiy
handsome.
0la Tile Worn Thin.
Much of the old tile is Of the
English kind and was worn 50 thin
that treacherous holes were catch
ing the heels Of people who swarm
ed through the building by the
thousands. This old English tile
has stood the wear Of myriad feet
for nearly sixty years.
The work and materials of the
present contract are costing the
government $4,000. While this is
going on the artistic decorations on
the Senate side are being restored
by the artist, whipple. This deli
cate work will require another year.
for which 5000 was appropriated
by the last session Of Congress.
Whatever repairs are needed on the
House side are provided for by the
Representatives in Congress, while
those on the Senate side are looked
after by Senators, the items going
through the appropriation channels
without interference on the part of
the opposite branches of Congress.
1t Is an unwritten law that Sem
ators will not challenge items of
appropriations asked by Representa-
tives. and Representatives will not
take issue with Senators on what
they deem 1t necessary to spend
unless, Of course. there is apparent
ly some fragrant waste of money.
The repairs being made in the
Capitol are mostly confined to the
House side. with the exception of
the mural decorations. The floors
in front Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee and Speakers
rooms on the west of the legisla-
tive chamber and in front of the
Sergeant-at-srms and Postoffice and
Post Roads Committee on the east
and the floors Immediately above.
are being entirely relaid with the
new marble tiling. Sections around
the restaurant also are being relaid,
but the main lobbies are not to be
touched for the present. Elliott

Meet Me Tonight
In Greenland the
Revised Chant
Picture q place where

Picture n place where
Every girl of school age has a
blue fox skin coat. and there is no
thought OF dress reform;
Whole boatioads Of duck eggs
may be had with slight effort;
Houses may be put up In q day
ana are worth SO little that they
are abandoned when one is ready
to move.
And the place in question is not
some idyliic island In the Southern
Seas. but in Greenland. among the
Arctic Eskimos. according to the
description and motion pictures
shown by Donald b. Macmillan,
famous Arctic explorer, before
members of the National Geographic
Society last evening.
Natural wonders as remarkable as
the human story abound. Salmon
trout are plentiful in the fresh wa
ter streams of the Far North. More
than $50 varieties Of flowers. many
Of them rare and delicately beau
tiful. grow north of the Arctic
Circle.
Most impressive Of the natural
wonders, perhaps. are the icebergs,
some 300 feet high and miles In
length. Still more impressive. said
Macmillan, are they when one re-
aiizes that they come from glaciers
formed by snow deposits that have
been many centuries in the max
ing, so that some estimate the con-
tent of many icebergs to be 10000
years old.
