HUTGH|NSBU|LD|NG,
LANDMARK, |SSOLD:
Structure to Be RemodeIed
Into Modern Store and
Office Quarters.

The Hutchins Building, old landmark
standing at the northeast corner of
Tenth and D streets, has been pur-
chased by Philip Milestone of this city
and is to be remodeled into modern
store and Office quarters, it was learned
today.
Work has been started on the razing
Of the old red brick buildings on the
southeast corner of Tenth and E streets
to make way for new site for the gaso-
line station of the Continental Oil Co,
now located on the northeast corner OF
the intersection, where the Potomac
Electric Power Co. is to erect a monu-
mental new home for its business, now
located on Fourteenth street in the
Government triangle south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
$225,OO0 Reported Price.
The old Hutchins Building was &C
duired by Mr. Milestone from the Tenth
g. D Street Trust, which two years ago
bought the property from Benjamin
and Samuel Bernstein. Mr.. Milestone
was reported to have given considera-
ton of approximately S225,0 for the
property. The transaction was closed
yesterday at the ONCE Of the Columbia
Title Insurance Co.
The Hutchins Building was erected
about a half century ago as home
for the Washington Post. under a lease
obtained by the publishing company
from G. G. Glover, ST.. according to old
records. The building was erected on
Q part of the site of the former historic
home of Peter Force, who was mayor
Of Washington from 1886 to 1910. The
Force home contained a famous library
collection, now reposing in the Con-
greSsional Library, and there was a
famous garden adjoining the Force
residence which Is remembered by older
Inhabitants of the city.
Damaged by Fire in 1888.
In the Hutchins Building the first
experimental electric lighting plant In
this city was established and operated
Ia 1881, for the purpose of illuminating
pennsylvania avenue in honor of the
reunion of the Grand Army of the Cum
herland, ut the time of.the dedication of
the statue of Gen Thomas, on Thomas
Circle, according to historic records.
SttlSon HutchinS, after whom the
building was named, was a capitalist
and newspaper proprietor who founded
the Dubuque Herald, the ST. Louis
Times and, in 1877, the Washington
Post, which he continued until 1889.
The sale and projected Temodeling of
the Hutchins Building recalls its viz
tual destruction by fire In 1885.

Among the causes of retarded

Uncorrected speech defects, it

.CYCL|ST, G., PLANS
KLE|Gt|GHT DEBUT
Man Left Los Angeles for
New York on 13-Year-
Old Bicycle.

Movieland ambitions strike age as
mercilessly as youth and that's why
H. A. Huffstutler, 69-year-old house
painter, cook and odd-job man of Idaho
Falls, is pumping his way across the
continent on 13-year-old bicycle. He
wants to make big enough splash"
of some sort-any sort-for a chance to
sell his wheel, his splash and himself
to the glaring god Kleiglight.
Huffstutler is in Washington now,
with not much more of his trip to New
York to be done, and today he is max
Ing his splash" by tramping about the
wet streets stuffing circulars in folks
doors, and; he's getting rs cents an hour
for 1t. Not much money, but he can
make enough at that rate to get his
bicycle out of the repair shop, where ne
slowed it for adjustments; enough to
get his eyeglasses repaired, and perhaps,
too, sufficient to buy him a new scarf
for the tan one that's wearing out now.
Finds Temporary Job.
The man-old only in the number of
years that have passed since his birth
in Birmingham, Ala.-rode into Wash
ington two days ago He had little
change left then, but he needed more to
cover the repairs to his wheel. He tried
to find a job. Somehow other men
were out on the same hunt: men who
didn't have gray hair and whose bodies
didn't bend under quite so many years.
At last the thought maybe newspaper
men could tell him where to go, and in
The Star Office last night, someone sent
him to the. Central Union Mission.
They took care of him down there,
gave him the distributing job and prom
ised him food and lodging until he earns
enough to continue on his Journey
Huffstutler began his long grind at
Los Angeles September 90. He would
have made much better time in reach

hospitals three different times-once in
a little place in Western Oklahoma.

Then his last hospital stay was in
Uniontown, Pa. where he fell victim
to influenza. That took IS days of his
time. He reached Washington by way
of Cumberland, Hancock and Fred

SCHOOLS TO CARRY
| FIGHT INTO SENATE
Board Opposes Simmons
Proposal Governing Appoint
ment of D. c. Teachers.

The Board of Education will carry
to the Senate its fight against Repre-
sentative Simmons proposal that the
preference in appointing teachers be
limited to the first Is per cent of the
District normal school graduates.
DR.. Charles F. CaruSi, president of
the school board, will seek to have
the proposal withdrawn entirely or have
one substituted which would authorize
the establishment here of q four-year
teachers college, none of whose grad
yates would be aided by any priority
ruling in teacher appointments.
At the same time, the Board of Ed
ucation will ask also that the clause
which the Bureau of the Budget at
tached to the item for starting construc-
ton OF the new Business High School,
that the fund be appropriated only If
the old Business building is used as
an elementary school for colored chill
dren be dropped.
Board of Education members and
members of the school official staff.
headed by DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
irtendent, are unanimous in the opin-
ion that removal of the priority clause
in the act Of 1873, which protects nor
maj SCILUOi graduates iTOTN UNFAIR COM
petition with graduates of four-year
courses, would work severe handicap
on the local graduates so long as their
school offers only three-year course,
which will go into effect only next year,
as the course at present is only two
years.
DR.. Ballou although reported in some
circles to be in favor of the open COM
petition suggested by Representative
Simmons, explained today that he
would favor such method of appointing
Washington school teachers only after
local candidates for the positions would
have available four-year teacher
training course in the normal schools.
He reiterated his statements made be-.
fore the House subcommittee that
Washington normal schools produced as
we'll equipped potential teachers as any
institutions in the country offering only
a two-year or three-year course.
DR.. Ballou made 1t plain that the pri-
mary consideration should be the fur
nishing of Washington schools with the
best obtainable teachers, but he was
equally emphatic that local aspirants
to teaching positions should not have
their chances for appointment i'm
perilled by the mere lack of proper pub
lie facilities for their training.

ARREST IN FATAL ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY CAPITAL WOMAN
Takes Part in Pursuit of
Driver of Alleged
Death Auto.
Calls Police and Ambulance
as Husband Holds
Suspect.

A woman's desire to get an auto
mobile victim to hospital and the
determination of her husband to APP
prehend the man who ran him down
was the combination which last night
resulted in the capture of an alleged
hit-and-run driver. after Frank Archive
81 years old, OF COL New Jersey avenue,
had been fatally injured.
Mr., and Mrs. Frederic Newburgh of
1880 Fuller street. with their l1-year-
old son, Charles. were driving on Mas
sachusetts avenue near North Capitol
street on treir way home after a
visit to Walter Reed Hospital. A tour
ing car. occupied by Calvin Richard
son, colored, ~ years old, of 933 N
street, passed them.
A few feet farther on they saw the
machine veer to the right. The auto
mobile slowed down with a jerk, they
said, and moment later its rear wheel
passed over a man.
Machine Moves Away.
According to Mrs Newburgh. the ma =
chine proceeded slowly for a few feet,
dragging the mans body which had
become entangled In the rear bumper.
After a nlomentary pause. In which
the figure became disentangled from
the bumper, the machine moved away.
a piece of the victims clothing trail
ing in its rear.
Realizing that their own car was too
small, Mrs. Newburgh said she told her
husband to overtake the other machine
and compel its driver to take the in
jured man to a hospital.
Newburgh accelerated the speed of
his car and drew up alongside the
machine driven by Richardson. Lean
ing from the side window, Mrs. New
burgh called to him to turn around
and take Archive to a. hospital. The
colored man, she said. laughed and
drove ahead at faster rate Of speed.

day that 100000 will be required for

ton OF Washington's birth date, Feb
ruary 20. 1882
The Washington Bicentennial Com
mission passed a resolution yesterday
assigning to the women of the cour-
try. the task of raising funds for the

enson Sherman had made a fervent
appear 10 American women for their
support of the project.

troduced by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook
TO have a committee of five appointed
TO direct the work. The commission
authorized the President to make such
appointments as he deems necessary.
III Acres Already Acquired.
Mrs. Rust called attention to the fact
that the association of which she Is
president has already received a deed
for the IL acres of land on which the
house stands, and since 1923 has pur-
chased for $4,000 additional lands for
restoration of the original garden plots.

With the women of the country be-
hind us. the success of our project will
be assured, We are confident" said
Mrs. Rust. And we look forward to
seeing our goal reached in ample time
for the bicentennial celebration. Words
cannot express our gratitude to Mrs.
Sherman, Mrs. Cook and to the COM
mission for its action We feel sure
that every American with the pride of
country in his heart will want to do
his share toward effecting the restora-
ton, so that when the labor Is done
he may rejoice in the knowledge that
1t was his loyalty which made it pos
sible to pay this fitting tribute to the
man who above all others gave him
his country"
