II read the news in the morning

ciate very deeply as great honor,
said Ambassador Kellogg, who is here
attending the international financial
conference.

Mr.. Kellogg, tired from his four
days of arduous work as chief dele

SMOOT TO REVIVE
D. c. BUILDING BILL
Plan Calls for $4,000, 900
Expenditure - Previous
Failure Disappoints.

Following a conference with Pres
ident Coolidge at the White House
today, Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
chairman of the United States Public
Buildings Commission. stated that the
commission will be called upon in the
near future to find a new home for
the Bureau of Mines, following the
recent absorption of the bureau by
the Department of Commerce.
The Senator intimated that the
commission may also be called upon
to find new office space for the Patent
Office. which figured in the reorgan-
ization Of the Commerce Department.
Senator Smoot said that during his
talk with the President the latter
made it very plain that he was dis
appointed at the failure of the last
Congress to enact public buildings
bill for the District of Columbia and
that he expressed a determination to
try again when Congress next meets.
Senator Smoot said he is of the
same mind as the President. He con-
siders the matter of providing several
new departmental buildings as of
extreme Importance. and is going to
do everything within his power to
impress this fact upon Congress.
Will Introduce Same Bill.
It will be his intention to introduce
the same bill that was offered at the
last session. 1t provides for a build.
ing program in Washington calling
for the expenditure of $4,000, 900 to
cover a period of 10 years. These
buildings are to be constructed on
sites already selected in the Mall
south OF Pennsylvania avenue and
east Of Fifteenth street.
Senator Smoot expects to take up
the details Of the housing problem In
volved in the transfer of the Patent
Office and Bureau of Mines shortly
The Patent Office will probably remain
in its present structure for some time
to come, but the future location OF
the Bureau of Mines, which now is
in the main Interior Department
Buildings, is in doubt. 1t also will
likely remain in its present quarters
for some time, but 1t is taken for
granted that the Interior Department
eventually will require the space.
A number of other housing shifts
also will come before the Public
Buildings Commission for approval.
Senator Smoot said also that he
feels very positive that the admins
tration has no intention of seekine
any changes in the present tariff law
