 ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE RlTcHlE AND HENRY o'MALLEY SAID
 BE ROUTE ON BRANT

For the past days or so it has been rumored in Seward that Secretary of the Navy Wilbur was making a special trip to Seward and the Resur. rection Bay Naval Reserve, so The Gateway dispatched a query to the Associated Press, at Seattle, asking for information regarding the Secre- tary's movements. A reply was re- ceived yesterday morning reading as follows:
 SEATTLE, Aug. p, (P)-It is un- likely that Secretary Wilbur will re- turn to Alaska to inspect Resurrection bay as he is now in San Francisco with the fleet We will immediately notify you if any change is made in his plans.
 (Signed.) Associated Press.
 The rumor which has been circulat- ing locally was that Governor Parks, Henry O'Malley, U. s. Fisheries Com missioner, and Lawrence Ritchie, as- sistant to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, would accompany Mr. Wilbur. It was also believed that Mrs. Ritchie is accompanying her husband, who visited Seward last sum- mer.
 Regarding these latter officials it is learned that in all probabilities, MT. Ritchie and MT. O'Malley will come to Seward within ten days on the fisheries vessel Brant. It has been previously learned that MT. Ritchie planned to remain in Alaska until the middle of next month.

NEW D. C. BUILDING
CONFERENCE TODAY
Fine Arts Commission Tries
Again to Straighten Out
TangIe on Court Site.

The Commission Of Fine Arts will
make another attempt late this after
noon to straighten out the tangle
that has arisen over location and de-
sign Of a new building to house the
Police Court of the District.
Chairman Charles Moore and Sec
retary H. p. Cammerer Of the COM
mission, will confer at o'clock in
the Offices of Chief Justice Mccoy of
the District Supreme Court. with
Justice Mccoy and with Police Court
Judges Schuldt and Hit. The judges
and the commission were unable to
reach an agreement at short confer
ence last Thursday.
While the fine arts body has gone
on record in favor of location of
the Police Court Building in or near
Judiciary Square, some opposition.
said to center around the justices of
the Supreme Court, has been raised.
Tentative Decision Claimed.
The Commission was said today to
have reached a tentative decision that
a court building to house all the Po
lice Court activities, including the
Traffic Court and the Juvenile Court
could properly be erected on the
Fourth street side Of Judiciary Square
to match the proposed Court of Ap
peals Building on the other side.
The entire question Of location and
design Of q Police Court building is
wrapped up with the problem of
housing the office of the recorder of
deeds, with a proposal pending that
the latter Office be- placed in the struc'
ture to be erected for the activities OF
the lower courts. In addition the sug
gestion has been made that the Police
Court be located on ground south OF
the Municipal Building, to be &C
quired by the District government tC

ton of e and F streets. Another sug
gestion has been made that the build
| ing be placed on Indiana avenue
across the street from the present
District Supreme Court building.
Not Up to Congress Yet.
Whatever the location finally de
cided upon. the fine arts body be
lieves the building should be located
near the other buildings housing tn,
judiciary agencies Of Washington
and not at q point far removed from
Judiciary Square.

Being Drafted.
CONGRESS ASKED TO BUY
RAILWAY HEADQUARTERS
Marylander's Plan Provides for
Taking Over Sites From First
to Third Streets.

The wheels of legislation for the
Districts present and future beauti-
f1cation and building program began
to grind on Capitol Hill today.
Senator Bruce Of Maryland intro
duced in the Senate today a bill pro
viding for purchase by the Govern
ment Of the land lying north Of Penn
sylvania avenue from First to Third
streets.
At the same time the Legislative
drafting service was busily at work
putting into shape for congressional
action the Public Buildings Commits
sion's bill for the acquisition OF all
privately owned land in the triangle
south of Pennsylvania avenue to the
Mall. The project was indorsed by
the President in his annual message
to Congress today and has previously
received the backing of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon
At the District Building the Com
missioners favorably acted on and sent
to the Capitol a bill providing for the
purchase Of the Southern Railway
Building, which is needed to house the
expanding activities of the municipal
government, and in which the city
deeds office.
Early Introduction Planned.
Identical copies of the Public Build
ings Commission bill for acquiring the
privately owned land south of Penn
sylvania avenue will be introduced in
the Senate and House by Chairman
Smoot of the Public Buildings Com
mission and Representative Richard
N. Elliott, chairman of the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds, as soon as the provisions
have been reduced to writing by the
drafting service.
This measure will ask for authority
to Immediately purchase all Of the
land before any Of the Federal build
ings for important Government de-
partments and other establishments
are erected under the $50 900 900 ap-
preparation already authorized for
five-year public building program
This matter will be presented In each
house of Congress on a strictly busi-
ness basis that If the property Is not
purchased at once the cost to the Gov
ernment will be doubled within the
five-year, period.
Already the House committee has
before it bill sponsored by Repre-
sentative Charles l.. Underhill, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, providing for
acquisition by the Government of all
the property between Pennsylvania
avenue and the Mall. This measure
was first proposed by Mr.. Underhill
four years ago and urged particularly
at the time the Arlington Memorial
Bridge bill was being considered.
Expects Hearing Soon.
Mr.. Underhill has been in conference
with Chairman Elliott Of the House
committee and expects to have an
early hearing on his bill. at which he
will emphasize that the price of the
land has gone UP several million dol
lars since his bill was introduced.
The House public buildings commit.
