embrace Mrs. Alice Moy Leong in an

the board by she testimony of Mrs
Leong, who was married two years ago
to George Leong, Baltimore laundry
owner.
Although admitted not to be rele-
want to the charges on which the officer

evidence that Mrs. Leongs father, the
owner of two local restaurants, had
been approached with demand for
$4,000 to drop the charges against
johnson and hush up the story Of a
love affair between the two.
johnson was charged with conduct
to the good order and repu-
tation of the Police Department and
the specifications set out that on Sep
TENDER is and % he had embraced the
Chinese girl while his car was parked
at secluded spot In the northwest Sec

then the wife Of another man. He was
also alleged to have kept company with
her, knowing that she was married.
Both Johnson and Mrs. Leong free
ly admitted to the board that they had
kept company, but both denied that
Johnson knew of her marriage,
Clothed In a stylish black dress, with
her long black hair hanging down her
back, the girl took the witness stand
and told of the two years platonic re-
with her husband In Bal

TO BUILD
S15O,OIDD LEGATION
Plans New Home ON Recently
Acquired Massachusetts,
Avenue Site.

Washington is to have another new
foreign legation. according to plans
announced today by Edgar L. @. Proch-
mix, Austrian Minister to the United
States, for the erection of q new $780,
900 home for the legation on a site
Just acquired on Massachusetts, avenue
between Decatur and s streets.
Located in the fashionable Sheridan
circle section, the legation viii be near
the home of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson on
S street and several blocks to the SOUTH
east from the new British Embassy now
being erected on Massachusetts, avenue
near Observatory Circle.
The new legation building will be Of
three stories and basement in the
Renaissance architectural style Of the
been drawn for the Austrian govern
ment by Ward Brown, Washington ar
chitect. The site for the new legation
has been acquired from william A. Hill
through the Office Of Mayo g. Wright.
Housing Difficult.
Decision to erect permanent home
for the legation. 1t was stated by Min
lister Prochnix, was based on economic
reasons.
THE housing of the Austrian lega-
ton in Washington he said, has been
very difficult problem, the more so as
the principle Of strictest economy had
to be equally applied to the foreign
service rs to all other branches Of
administration. ,..
"a legation building has to serve
three purposes: It has to house the
offices, to lend itself to social func-
tons necessarily connected with a
diplomatic mission, and 1t has to be
the home of the chief of the mission
and his family.
THE. Austrian government came to
the conclusion that the aforementioned
problem could only be adequately and
economically solved by having a build
ing erected for the special purpose OF
have come to the conclusion that rent
ing, aside from the difiiculty or i'm
possibility of finding a building which
would fully answer the above require
ments, is most uneconomic in view OF
the proportion locally existing between
value Of buildings and the rents they
take"
Ground Floor Offices.
The building Is to provide for all three
needs of legation as outlined by
Minister Prochnik: Chancery offices,
social functions and the Minister'S
residence.
There will be four offices on the
ground floor, with q separate entrance
on the right side, while at the front
will be large reception hall of the
entrance foyer, rooms for archives and
other storage purposes, and servants
quarters.
On the first floor will be the Minister'S
entertainment quarters, consisting of a
living room at the front, large recep-
ton hall with library adjoining and
large dining room at the rear. The
Kitchen and pantry will be at the left
rear -
There will be five bedrooms on the
second floor, while on the third floor
viii be two guestrooms, a guests sit
ting room, four servants bedrooms and
a storage room.

Silk Scarce in U. S.

For parachutes silk has been found
to be the most desirable material yet
discovered, because 1t causes the device
to open more readily, but the United
States is almost entirely dependent on
other countries for its supply of silk. In
the event of war this country would be
in need of 10000 or 10000 parachutes.
