It was announced that the build- ing is coming up to all expectations. The swimming pool. 25 by 60 feet ome of the largest of the city. is ex- pected to prove one of the outstand- ing features. The exterior of the building. developed in design by use of limestone, colonial brick and terra cotta. will be entirely detached on the lot. facing to the west on 16th street. Steel drawings for the build- ing were made by Case Broderick Rafter. the plans were prepared by J.H. de Sibour. and construction was by Harry Wardman. The five upper floors are laid out | in accordance with the most modern arrangement for bachelor apartments. Twenty-three = rooms and sixteen hs are on each floor, making a| total of 115 rooms and eighty baths. The general interior finish of the club is of a simple colonial style. and the furniture is to be selected in keeping with this arrangement. The | members’ lobby, on the first floor. | communicates directly with the first- story hall, from which there is & | monumental staircase to the second | foor. On the right of the stair hall | is a lounge with windows_to the mouth and west. On the left is an | oyster bar and a kitchen of ample size, completely equipped.

But Only Trans- mitted Officials’ Statements. olests are continuing to be made to the State Department as a result of an Associated Press dispatch which incorrectly stated that Secretary Hughes had recommended to Congre: rigid restrictions ow immigration had characterized immigrants of cer- tain nationalitics, among them Jews, Let's. Lithuanians, Russians, Ar menians, Persians and others, as u desirable. In reply to all these partment is tary Hughes made tions whatever ns of grants. His Johnson of Washington. chairman of the House immigration committee, was purely a formal one transmitting ‘paraphrased abstracts of reports concerning immigration received from officials of this government who have been abroad.” It was in the appendix of para- phrases prepared by 2 bureau of the State Department that certain classe: the State De- no nd made ny class no e of immi- !} of\immigrants were characterized un- favorably and that certain abstract recommendations of agents were re- {ferred to The statement that the recommenda- tions were those of Secretary Hughes apd that the characterizations were his own was an error which the Asso- ciated Press regrets and in fairness to Mr. Hughes readily acknowledges of its own accord. Many representatives in Congress. however. having foreign-born con- stituencies, although acknowledging that the paraphrases of the reports to which they object were not those of the Secretary, complain of their trapsmission: und publication as com- ing €rom the State Department, with an official letter of transmittal from They also are protesting to the department on the ground that the statements are incorrect. The paraphrase of the reports con ceded that “there are, of course, many individoal exceptions” to the classes which were characterized as undesir- but the representa- tives nevertheless take exception to document. Vhile ~ Secretary Hughes personally signed the letter of transmittal, it is understood that he did not personally read the re- ports, which were attached in the usual manner. in which replies to congressional requests for informa- tion are prepared. Although the officials who prepared the paraphrases edited them vigor- cuxly before they were permitted to go forward, they are frank in saying they feel now they did not edit them vigorously enough. The original re ports in some instances went much farther than the paraphr in the characterizations which are being ob- jected to. NEGRO FORGOTTEN TO LIVE. SHREVEPORT. La..
