Sat- tay crete Objections Made by Residents to the ance of a Permit Proposed Farragut Building on Cor- mer of 17th and I Streets Sub- ject of Contention. The question of granting a permit for the erection of the proposed Farragut building at the northwest corner of 17th and I streets, at a height of 110 feet, was set down by the District Commissioners today for determination at a hearing to be held at 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning, the 8th instant. This building, which is to be erected by a company, of which Mr. Walter V. R. Berry is president, is proposed to be raised by the company to a height of 110 feet, although (ith street is but ninety feet in width, I street being of the same width. Section 40 of building regulations provides that “No building shal be erected or altered on any street in the District of Columbia to exceed in height above the sidewalk the width of the street in its front; and in no case shail a building exced ninety feet in height on a resident street, nor 110 feet on a business Street, as defined in these regulations, ex- cept on avenues 16) feet wide, where a height not exceeding 130 feet may be al- lowed when the lot is of sufficient frontage and depth, in the judgment of the Commis- sioners, to justify the same. Provided, however, that the height of buildings on corner lots, in all cases, shall be regulated by the limitations governing the broader street.” A protest was recently filed with the Commissioneres by residents in the neigh- borhood of the proposed bi ing against the contemplated height of 110 feet, and a hearing in the matier was requested by th interested. The Commi. cided to hear the parties interested today and this morning Mr. Berry and his arehi- tect, Mr. Rosenheim, of Boston, appeared on behalf of the company, Mr.’ Nathaniel Wilson and one or two other residents in the neighborhood of the proposed building also bei present. Mr. Berry explained that last March he had, after making the usual inquiries, been informed by the secretary of the board of Commissioners and by Captain Burr, then a ant to the Engineer Commissioner, view of the fact that the space in front of the proposed building, Fa rragut sqvare, is more than 300 feet wide, the con- templated height of the building, 110 feet, would meet the approval of the Commis- Berry said that he then directed the tect to go ahead and prepare the ae é so | plars of the building, and they were sub- One S12 Cornet. ..-+-eeee- -$8.50 | Tiitted to th inspector of buildings, with One $i2 Guitar for..... ---$8] an application for a building permit, about 2 : S10 | tena a company havi ti RE oarcteet 3 en x0, 2 company having meantime One $15 Banjo for : PIO! been incorporated to erect tho building. © =< One Regina’ Music Wor) 16 tune «+ ~| Chen it was that the residents in i4ir6 neighborhood fiied their protest, action on the application for the permit having been deferred by the Commissioners in order to permit the protestants to submit the grounds of their objections. Mr. Wilson was invited by the Commis- rs to present the objections, but he +] stated that ne appeared not as an attor- * but as one of the residents in the + | Beighborhood. He said at the proper time, «| after the protestants had given an oppor. 8 ¥ to inspect the plans of the building, : would appear through counsel nt their reas¢ wh: the permit $2 | should not be granted. These people, who ** include residents on both 17th and T : re will also re: sald Mr. Wilson, . every possible way the granting of a per- mit fer the ere tion of the building to a height of 110 feet. In view of the fact that e ave had no opportunity to inspect the plans, Mr Wilson asked that the hear- ing be postponed until next week, a request which Mr. Berry stoutly opposed, he con- tending that, as the only question to be de- termined is the height of the building, there existed no necessity for any delay for the Xamining the plans. The Com- however, thought that a short postponement of the matter would be only fair to those objecting, and they set the matter down for final determination Wed- nesday morning next. —_— FIRST BIRDS FROM THE | DIXIE. bart Just fen of those ***| Homing Pigeons Fly Straight and ++ splendid $50 "9S Bird Wheels, with *¢¢ ‘ene to Halttesoee Soy re ees meee we wre * <The erat of tho sine gigecus sect by oe ae $00 Wheels an cary ne ie: ¢ 3 | President B.

Action on the Hawalian An- nexation Resolution. Assuming that the Hawailan resolution will pass the House during the present ses- sion, the senatorial supporters of annexa- tion are determined to secure action by the Senate before adjournment. They have proclaimed their intention to call up the House resolution in the Senate immediately after the passage of the war revenue Dill, providing the House had in the meantime acted upon it. They have conferred and have reached the conclusion that there are enough senators willing to remain in ses- sion indefinitely to assure action during the session. It is, they say, their purpose to insist that Congress shall remain in session until the resolution is acted upon. They also assert that the President is desirous that this program shall be pursued and that he is averse to adjournment without action on a measure which he considers of essen- tial importance in the prosecution of the yar. Se is quite certain that this effort will be stubbornly antagonized if made, and the probabilities are that, if necessary, the contract between the members of the finance committee will be brought into pub- lic notice. The democratic members of the committee assert that there was a solemn agreement that the Hawaiian question should not come up in any shape in the Senate during the present session, provid- ing the democratic members would assist in securing speedy action upon the revenue bill. This they claim to have done to the best of their ability, and they say they will insist that the republican members of the committee keep their part of the com- pact. They further assert that the agree- ment went to the extent of providing that the republican members of the committeg pledged themselves personally to resort to any means necessary to prevent considera- tion, agreeing to vote for final adjournment in order to prevent it, if necessary, or, if more Sree fo. vote against considera- he subject. On one other hand, the supporters of an- nexation declare there has been no expe- dition of the revenue bill, and add that the position assumed. by the administration in active support of Hawaii will materially assist them in overcoming the opposition of the members of the finance committee. They even declare that since the military necessity of securing Hawaii has been made apparent some of the democratic members of the committee, who have been heretofore counted among the stanchest opponents of annexation, will not insist upon compliance with this agreement. In a word, they declare their confidence in be- ing able to overcol all opposition and in getting the resolution through the Senate this session in cas@ the House acts as it now promises to da, Want Queer Feneral Mistakes. From the Portland Express. There have been some queer mistakes made of all kinds, but this Is one of the most unusual and undesirable, although no real harm was done; A man one time prom- inent in professional life in this city died. He was a member of a certain society in this city, which sent representatives to the funeral. The members of the organization were notified of the death of their fellow- ber by stal cards sent out by the See “one of the cavia was sidzeasen to and delivered at the late residence of the dead member, inyiting him to attend his own obsequies. A similar iticident was, if anything, worse..A member of a secret society died and his fellows were notified of his death and the time and place of the funeral, as usual. A card was delivered at the address of the dead man, directed to him in his own handwriting! He had been the secretary of the organization and had addressed sets of postal cards to the mem- bers at his leisure. When a member died a set of the addressed cards was sent to the printer, who printed the name of the de- ceased member on the back with the other matter used in the notice. So when the secretary died his assistant or succéssor. sent a set of the cards to the printer, so that the dead man was sent one addressed by his own hand: —___-e.__ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.
