When the commission was organized,
May 90. 1919. the governments an
nual rent bill was $1.135.Ss7.2s. To-
day it is $545.S73, making a saving
of $3.50, ,024.2S. To this must be added
$49,500 which is now being paid for
rent Of the Hooe building. 1880 F
street. occupied by prohibition head
quarters, which is to be vacated by
the Treasury Department on Septem-
Der 1.
Other Savings.
Two other important savings have
been accomplished by the commits
sion. One of these is in the assign
ment of temporary building No. 2.
at 10Th and D streets. to the l. C. c.
for the housing Of certain field Offices
which have been occupying rented
buildings in various cities through
out the country at a cost of $6,418.S2.
Second. the assignment of temporary
to the War Department for housing
of certain troops on duty in Wash
ington. officials of the War Depart
ment estimate that this means a
saving of S175,000 in Communication of
quarters and subsistence. This Is
particularly interesting in view of the
proposal recently made to Congress
for the purchase by the government
for $1.500,000 of seven sites now oc-
cupied by temporary buildings west
of 18th street. 1t shows that the
use of this one structure will in ten
years pay for the sites of all these
seven buildings and leave $250,00O
already maintained by the govern
ment. This saving alone amounts to
to spare.
Adding all these items together
shows that the commission has been
directly responsible for annual re-
duction Of $S31.443.20.
Maintenance Cost Cut.
Another considerable saving Incl
dental to the giving up Of rented
buildings is the cost of maintenance
which has generally been almost as
much as the rent itself. This mainte-
nance charge has been eliminated al
most entirely by the transfer Of these
government agencies in the buildings
several hundred thousand dollars an
nually.
The Public Buildings Commission
has not employed large clerical
force to effect this saving. 1t has
but one employe, the secretary. Out
of the initial appropriation made to
the commission three years ago of
$4,000. there remains in the Treas
ury of the United States today an
unexpended balance of $1.0s4.10.

At the end of three weeks of hesi-

Peruvian delegates, meeting here. ap-
parently were little nearer solution
of their differences last night than
when their conferences began.
The conference sessions, inter-
spersed with long periods of waiting
for instructions from home, have

had been hoped the two might unite.
Hope of an eventual agreement mas
not yet been abandoned, however,

to the optimistic view with Which
they entered the conference three
weeks ago. But no one in authority

At the present stage the negotia,,

been hoped that the Chilean govern

but the expected advice did not arrive
and it was said last night to be by
no means certain whether meeting
could be held tomorrow:
All preliminary indications emanat-
ing from Chilean official circles both
here and in Santiago have been tnat
the Chilean response would be unta
yorable, but the final determination is
understood to be a matter cioseiy
connected with political developme ents
in Chile and the meeting Of the
Chilean congress which took place
on June l. 1t is understood that the
delay which already amounts 10 a
week, has been caused in part by the

of an answer which may decide the
fate of the conference.
May Insist ON Plebiscite.
Both news dispatches from Santiago
and current opinion in Chilean cir
cles here indicate that Chile intends
to insist on holding a plebiscite In
Tacna-Arica and that the sreates'
advance she could make to con-
cihatory solution would be to accept
arbitration on the details of carrying
1t out
In the case that the expected an

many observers foresee serious
deadlock. causing either the break

mediation by the United States. The

European art center which acclaimed
the uncommon gifts of the young ar
tist. Monte Carlo and Warsaw had
heard this young girl and Joined un-
equivocaliy in her praise. But her
artistic growth was greatest under
the eyes Of the adoring public at the
foremost opera house OF her own
couL.ry.
Daring originality in her concep-
tions OF operatic roles. freedom from
any superstitious veneration for con-
vention and insistence on the dra-
matte rather than the merely musical
phases Of every role she sang marked
her career. These may have been a
result of her American training.
She will be missed by all opera
goers. In such works as Madam
Butterfly" Carmen" and "zaza,"
which she has made altogether her
own, the American soprano is all but
indispensable. Yet in art as in life,
nobody is really indispensable.

and proper action in the case OF Pa
trolman JAMES J. O'CoNNELL, who

and by the people Of New York.
No more obvious instance of kill
ing in self-defense could be imagined.
O'CoNNEIL, answering call for help
from a tenement house, was con-
fronted on the stairs by BRoJEB, who
was in civilian clothes. BHoJEB had
a revolver, which he pointed at
O'CoSyELL and tried to kill him.
Then O'CoNNELL, in self-defense,
killed BRoJER.

One was to have been commanded by
my father. the late Colonel Richard Wal

Colonel Patrick Grant, who reaped the

Possibly the reformation or deforma-

thing to do with the unrest that per-

who mutinied.

be disbanded In favor Of the more war

Waste in Industry.

A recent Unconditional study OF
waste In industry made by the Fed
Grafton of Engineers on the initia-
tive of HERBEnT Hoover puts strikes
in their proper place as factor OF
waste, but they are only one OF sew
eral causes which together make
American industry the most extrav-
agant in the world.
Experts in eight basic departments
Of industry after detailed investiga-
tions reached the conclusion that
mana cement, workers, and consum-
ing public together share the reepon,
sibility for existing conditions.
The waste these engineers describe
has assumed proportions which put
this problem on a level with oppres-
sive taxation, extravagance In the
public service and other we'll recog-
nizsd evils which contribute TO our
economic maladjustment. None of
the factories visited could show q
record OF 100 per cent. efficiency. Out
OF a possible 100 causes OF waste, no
factory suffered from fewer than 26
while the average was 6s.
IN some factories, notably in those
producing clothing and shoes. ensi-
neers found the output reduced by
half because there was no steady flow
OF materials from one bench to the
next. Shoemakers, for example, be-
cause OF lack Of systematic dispatch
ing, spend about third Of their
working time idle at their benches.
In the clothing and shoe industries
and in the building trades produc-
tion 10 entirely closed down for more
than a third OF the year.
Faulty machine installation is q
cause Of much waste. Most factories,
like most kitchens, are too large for
their busirees others are over.
