2 % THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1926. SPECIALIST T0 AID U.S. BUILDING PLAN Mellon Selects Chicagoan as Consulting Architect in New Structures. Confronted with a series of ques-| tions over which there has arisen serlous disagreement among public officlals, the Treasury Department has appointed Edward H. Bennett of Chicago as “consulting architectural specialist in connection with the pub-| lic buildings work under the control| of the Treasury,” it was announced today. The new expert was highly praised today by etary of Treasury Mel- lon in an official announcement, which indicated that Mr. Bennett will “spend such portion of his time in Washing- ton as may be necessary for the| proper development of the work.” It is understood he is to receive $20 a day while on duty here. While some progress has been made on the public buildings program, both here and throughout the country, and the supervising architect’s office has been diligently going ahead with plans authorized, it 15 known that the big problem of what to do about the triangle of land between Pennsylvania avenue, the Mall and Fifteenth street is giving concern to several groups of official Differences Cause Delays. The Public Buildings Commission, the Natlonal Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, the Fine Arts Com- mission, the Secretary of the Treasury and every department for which a structure is to be built under the new Federal program are at variance over some of the policies, so that there has been considerable delay in arriv- ing at some of the most important conclusions necessary before much practical progress can be made. The program is not at a standstill, as much actual work {s under way, but many things are tied up, it is known becausd of a lack of decision in some major policies. Although Congress has authorized the expenditure of $165,000,000 for the country at large over a perfod of five vears, and appropriated a total of $10,000,000 for expenditure here this fiscal vear, nearly four months of the fiscal year are gone, and only four comparatively minor projects have been brought to the point of signing on the dotted line. The ‘Treasury has hought the Economics Building for the Department of Agri- culture, it has let contract for con- struction of two stories on the Lib ert Loan Bullding, contract for drilling to determine subsoil under the site for the proposed internal rev- enue building, and a contract for wrecking one square, No. 324, part of the internal revenue site back of the Post Office Dopartment. Architects Await Final Word. The practical epd of the work in the supervising architect's office has been forging ahead as rapldly as de- termination of plans by the various commissions and the Treasury De- partment allowed, but the question of where several of the major buildings will be placed in the triangle has raised the whole problem of what the Government ought to do about the triangle: buy it outright, or put build- ings here and there in the triangle, to buy piecemeal later when the price of land has been greatly enhanced by the new Federal structures. Coming from the outside, Mr. Ben- nett, it is belleved, will bring to the ms faced by the Treasury, not a wide experlence in city plan- ning, but a fresh viewpoint free from any previous disposition to defend one plan among the several which wre_pending. Considerable significance therefore | has been attached to the appointmen! of Mr. Bennett, hy those who have been in close touch with the Govern- ment’s building program, as it is | believed to be far more than a per- functory or routine appointment. Has Had Wide Experience.

Scrivener yesterday ended in an accidental shooting that nearly caused the death of Policeman John Prender- gast of No. 9 precinct, while at the home of his close friend, Policeman Francis Wade Gordy, 1815 First street, when the latter's pistol, dis- charging from the holster, sent & bullet through the hand and groin of Prendergast. The two policemen, after return- ing from an automobile ride, started talking about the Scrivener death and practicing quickness “on the draw’ with unloaded revolvers. After a lit- tle practice, they reloaded. Prender- gast had replaced his pistol in the holster and was hitching his belt into a more comfortable position, while Gordy was just replacing his pistol. In some manner his finger accidently caught the trigger instead of the trigger guard. the pistol went off, and Prendergast crumpled to the floor. Took Friend to Hospital. Gordy carried his friend in his arms to an automobile outside and was rushed with him to Casualty Hos. ! pital. The bullet had penetrated Prendergast's intestines and little hope at first was felt for his recovery. Later the wounded man removed to Emergency Hospital and Dr. Daniel L. Borden performed an operation last night. During the night, Prendergast ral- lied. This morning, his vitality had played such an important part in his condition that physicians said he had better than an even chance to recover. Inspector Charles A. Evans, ant superintendent of police, at first ather of condition the wounded man, that hi was critical and that he was not ex-|s pected to live until this morning, but upon learning the opinion of physi- clans following the operation later last night he dispatched a second wire of a more optimistic vein.

HOWARD BROOKS Present Loving Cup to Star Reporter After Joke “Arrest.” Howard Brooks. police reporter for The Evening Star, was summar- ily arrested and taken before the prisoner’s lineup at the Detective Bureau morning charged with loitering” for 45 yeurs around police headuarters. While he foughqt energetically to tree himself from the grip of Detec- tives Patrick O'Brien and Charles Wise, who were holding him on the prisoner’s stand, while the eagle eyes of the police force were “looking him over,” Detective E. L. Phillips read off the formal charge. “This s T. Howard Brooks,” he in- toned, in the same ‘manner which he Had just used for a_light-fingered pickpocket. “He has been arrested by Detective Patrick O'Brien on the charge of lofterin; “Stop this darn foolishness.” de- manded Mr. Brooks, whose dignity of demeanor long since became a byword at headquarters. Detectives frowned as he tricd to break away. Reveals Silver Loving Cup. Inspector Henry G. Pratt stepped tn_at this juncture and uncovered a huge silver loving cup which had been hidden from Vi “This is a very grave charge.” In- spector Pratt declared, looking fero- clously at the prisoner, with the result that he quieted down a bit. “This is a very serlous charge,” Tn- spector Pratt repeated. “You have not been loitering around here for a day. for a week or for a year. sir. You've kept it up for 45 this month. We can't let a thing like this pass without some attention. We can't be derelict in our duty. “To show you how we feel about such loitering we have procured this object which T hold in my hand.

He's been in tight corners and never quavered. He's mastered situations which seemed perilous. Detectives gloated over the situation. 1t was the first time in 45 years Howard Brooks ever found taken off his g He gulped. He coughed a bit. from the room. After roll call, smiling detectives grouped around to congratulate the still blushing “prisoner.” He sensed something further and tried to escape before a_photographer arrived. But he was foiled again. After repeated entreaties, he submitted and had his picture taken. The whole thing started a short time ago when Detective E. J. Kelly and Frank Baur, retired detective, were talking over old times and con: ceived the idea of presenting Howard Brooks with a symbol of the esteem and appreciation in which he is held around headquarters. Kelly broached it to fellow detectives and found an immediate and hearty response. “Biff” Phillips was commissioned to make arrangements. The loving cup he procured stood about 18 inches in height and was engraved with an ap- propriate inscription. It was difficult to keep Howard Brooks, whose reputation is high for ferreting out things which are sought to be kept secret. i But after he quieted down he con- fessed: “This i life that I was really hope Mrs. Brooks do it until she reads. i intent upon writing i He sputtered, and fled surprised. 1 n't hear about ince vou're so " he said.
