BRICK DISCARDED
FOR JAIL BUILDING
Brown Limestone Selected
for New Dormitory Because
of Protests.

The new dormitory addition to the
District Jail will be built of brown
limestone to keep it in harmony with
the exterior of the present building,
the Commissioners decided yesterday
afternoon in awarding a contract for
its construction to George E. Wyne,
local contractor.
The question of substituting brick
for brown limestone was considered
by the Commissioners as one method
of cutting the cost Of the structure to
keep it within the available appro-
priation. There was some objection
to the use of brick, however, espe-
cially by NJ. B. Medary. a member
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, who wrote TO
the Commissioners that bricks could
not fail to cause adverse criticism as
long as the building remained stand
ing"
In order to reduce the cost Of the
building the Commissioners scaled
the original bid Of Mr.. Wyne through
the acceptance of several alternate
proposals. The contractor quoted a
price of $2S2, 700, but S16,600 was de-
Quoted by the substitution of the
alternates, making the final contract
price $265,740.
The appropriation for the Jail addi-
ton was authorized by Congress fol-
lowing an expose of crowded cond1-
tions in the present structure by
Pete Martini" special investigator
for The Star.

CLEVELAND, HILLS
CHOICE OVER 7. R.
Builder of Northwest Offered
$4,000, 900 to Finance
Campaign, Writer Says.
By the Associated Press.


BUFFALO, N. Y. October 5.-James
J. Hill, builder of the Northwest. Of
fered to underwrite campaign fund
of $4,000, 900 If the Democratic party
would nominate Grover Cleveland for
a third term to run against Roosevelt
in 1904, says Charles II. Armitage,
writing in Grover Cleveland as Buff
falo Knew Him." just published
Mr.. Armitage repeats this bit of un-
written history as he heard it from
William II. Ryan, former Buffalo rep
resentative, who was commissioned by
Hill to carry his offer to William T.
Sheehan and David b. Hill, managers
of Judge Alton Is. Parker's candidacy
Conceding the eminent qualities of
Judge Parker, Hill is asserted to have
expressed the belief that outside of
New York he was not sufficiently
known to give him the strength ncces-
sary to defeat Roosevelt. The latter
at the time was talking freely about
"malefactors of great wealth. and
otherwise saying things disturbing TO
big business.
But declared Hill. there's one
man who, 1 think, can defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt
'Who?' demanded Ryan.
"'GrOver Cleveland was Hills an
swer. :" If Cleveland is placed
in nomination I will undertake tC un-
derwrite fund sufficient to finance
his campaign"
Ryan repeated the offer to William
F. Sheehan. V,mocratic leader. whose
answer was 1.-The die is cast" indi-
eating that ne Parker candidacy had
progressed % such a stage 1t could not
be withdrawn.

that he will find some way to get near
| ly all, If not all, Of his men into the
line" :,
He did, and when Gen. Summerall
sat down, as was his custom, to write
personal notes of appreciation to his
subordinates for outstanding achieve
ments in a campaign, that young Of
! ficer's name, like Abou Ben Adam, led
all the rest. 1t Is obviously super
fious to add that "tyrant" and VIC
| tim" now are fast friends.
Another illustration of how Gen.
Summerall commands the affection
of even those officers who cannot al
! WAYS subscribe to his driving methods
may be found in this Incidents When
| the war had ended one of Summerall's s
staff officers who had sometimes found
himself In full disagreement with his
, chief could think of no one he wanted
more for godfather Of his newly ar
rived son than the general-and
another solid friendship was ce-
| mented.
An Inquisitive Veteran.
At an American Legion convention
held not so long ago, at which most OF
| the delegates were veterans or the
gallant First a. Legionnaire, freed
| from the restraint Of wartime dis
cipline, boldly inquired of Gen. Sum-
neral whether 1t was true that once
near the front his car was riddled
with the bullets of his own mon be-
cause he demanded Of them so much.
| The general permitted himself the
| luxury of a laugh-his risibilit1es are
only infrequently stirred.
you don't really believe that. do
you?" he asked his interrogation.
mo, don't now-but l did believe
it them"
Not least among the qualities that
have made Gen. Summerall worthy
| Of the high office to which he soon
will go is an unusually keen ability
| to locate and diagnose deficiencies.
| In the scissors fighting he found the
machine gunnery deficient and he
straightway embarked upon per-
| sonal study of machine guns, with the
| result that subsequently, he won the
tribute Of a machine gun expert that
he was "the only general officer In
| the A. f. F. who knew anything
| about these weapons"
A clue to the implantation Of the
lofty ideals and zeal that have marked
| the career Of Gen. Summerall. finally
| to win for him the blue ribbon of the
Army, may be found in his early life.
March 4, 1867. After attending pub
lie schools he matriculated at Porter
Military Academy, Charleston, S. c.
This still comparatively small institu-
ton was founded by a British army
officer for the education of the sons
Of impoverished Confederate veterans.
Entrance requirements were rigid and
the military education impaired un.
surpassed in any similar school. The
lessons there learned by the young
Floridian have never been forgotten.
Once a School Teacher.
Young Summerall, after three years
at Porter, taught school in Florida for
two years, and in 1888 he entered
West Point. There. he rose to a stu
| dent captaincy, and classmates still
tell about incidents that now are seen
| to have portended the code that was
| to guide his career.
Summerall's first Army assignment
upon graduation from West Point was
at Benicia Barracks, Calf, in 1892
He first served with the artillery
| when he was transferred to the 5th
Artillery, stationed at the preside
San Francisco. Subsequent assign.
ments were at Fort Hamilton, N. Y.

may come when universities will
grant a degree for these first two
years that will satisfy the mass of
students who, without sustained in
tellectual interest, simply go to col
lege because they or their fathers
feel that they must be college men.
This would mean a healthy exodus
from our colleges, at the end of two
years, of those who otherwise clutter
up the university and impede the
work of the better type Of students.
"Thls will, in the case of the bet
te~ students, give us men and women
better prepared for the stiff and
searching work of the highly special
lied years to follow"
Not Moral Alarmist.
Before termination of the talk it
was suggested that student morals
and manners are recurrently matters
of public comment and conjecture.
What do you, as university
president, think of all this discussion
about drinking and alleged lack of in
dividual restraint among students?"
was the final question.
"It seems to me that nine-tenths of
the discussions of the morals and
manners or the present COllege gen.
Grafton begins with a false assump-
tion-namely. that a college COM
munity is essentially different from
the ordinary community. 1t isn't. A
college community is simply a cross
section of the American community
of the American Nation"
President Frank made it plain that
he is not a member of the, moral
alarmiSt squad.
THE dominant tendencies of the
| American social order will be found
in the college community" he said.
IF there is a new freedom outside
college there will be a new freedom,
in college. If there is bootlegging
outside college there will be a certain
amount of bootlegging in college.
Conditions Intensified.

intensified in college, because
youth is concentrated there: just as
