The Jeficlency bill, including the names of jrojects to be forwarded at once in Washington, and the amounts recom- nended to be spent on them during the next year, will shortly be forward- ress. O onn some other structures on +he program in Washington have been ocated on sites parts of which are 1ot owned by the Government, and, herefore, must be acquired through condemnation proceedings, delaying srogress, the Department of Com- merce has been placed on ground to all »f which the Government holds title \ready. This is expected to be a vactor favoring early progress. New Revenue Bureau Home. There is now located on the Com- ynerce site, however, a temporary bullding housing several hundred em- ployes of the Internal Revenue Bu- reau. This bureau is to have a new home facing B street, behind the Post. Office Department. Half o the Internal Revenue Bu- | ~eau building is to be put up as the | next actual building project in Wash- ington, and it is the plan to complete +his building, then move clerks and files out of the temporary building on ‘he Commerce site, so as to make way for Commerce. How long these vari- ous operations will take has not yet been determined, but the general plan | has been laid down. Detalls of the great Department of Commerce Building are yet to be worked out. That is one of the vrincipal tasks facing the archi- tectural firm selected. But already the site has been selected by the - Public Bulldings Commission, and | the general form of the structure has heen agreed to by the Department of Commerce and the Treasury. The building will be located be- iween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, facing the latter, and will extend from B street on the Mall northward to a point between what would be D street and Pennsylvania avenue. On the corner of Pennsyl- vania avenue and Fifteenth street just north of Commerce, will be the | new home of the Depertment of Justice. reared in xtensive sen f York bid- ts &| he 1ccesst con Longer Than Capitol. e Department of Commerce B\l‘ll-lhfltns will be about 850 feet long, ‘which is much greater than the length of the Capitol. It will be about seven stories high. Although situated on sloping Fifteenth street, it will be higher on its south end than on its north. It will be faced on the ex- r by stone. te{'l:“r:.‘ problems of difficuity face the architects and the Government, among them what kind of facilities to provide for parking automobiles. It has been suggested that a storage =pace be provided within the Com- merce Building itself. Nearby, toward the east, the preliminary studies made by the Treasury Department allow for extensive parking space in a kind of plaza. !!p is also likely that some kind of traffic tunnels under the building will be favorably considered. ‘With passage of the legislation au- thorizing purchase of the triangle, the Treasury Department has authority to go ahead with condemnation pro- ceedings as fast as it needs the land for bullding purposes. The Depart- ment of Justice takes the cases to court. It was understood today, however, that the Treasury does not plan “im- medlate” condemnation of all the tri- angle, nor any other parts than it now has under condemnation for building purposes. Big Problems Ahead. The problem of what parts, of the triangle to condemn next, how to proceed, and how fast to proceed with purchase of the entire plot is MANUEL QUEZON.

DEWE es at Red Cross SENATOR JONES BETTER. Counsel at Second Daugherty Trial Scores Novel of Polit- ical Life Here. By the Associated Pres FEDERAL COURT, New York, Feb- ruary 7.—“Revelry,” a novel of the | Capital in its ‘social and political as- | pects was branded “insidious fiction at the trial of Harry M. Daughter: former Attorney General, and Thomas W. Miller, former alien property cus- todian, which began today. The charges against Samuel Hop- kins Adams’ book were made by Har- old Corbin, associate of Max D. Steuer, in the defense of Daugherty, and was concurred in by United States At- torney Buckner. The prospective foreman of the Jjury, Walter L. Carey, a broker, said he had read the book. Put Politicians in Bad Light. While the Daugherty case was not mentioned in the tome, Carey said, under examination by defense coun- el, it put politicians in a bad light. Well, that book is just fiction,” Corbin said, “and a sort of fietion I would call insidious," 4 Turning to Buckner, Corbin asked: “Would you call it insldious?” Buckner said he would. Another prospective juror, Edward Regan, theater manager, sald he had an aversion to practical politicians. “I've seen them at their best and & ‘!helr worst, and I don’t like them,” he said, His remarks followed a discussion by Aaron Sapito, counsel for Miller, in which Miller was characterized a ractical politician, “a man who went out and got campalgn funds and dis- tributed them, but who did not seek office for himself.” No Talisman Challenged. ‘When court recessed for Ilunch neither side had challenged a talis- man, although several others were examined time and again. Having shaken the dust four months from piles of checks and bank reassembled of ledgers, statements and some of the 88 wit- nesses who testified in the first trial, the Government today put Harry M. Daugherty, former Attorney General, and Thomas W. Miller, for- mer allen property custodian, on trial a second time on charges of having defrauded the United States of their best services In the transfer of $7,000,000 of American Metal Co, as- sets. Judge Mack Replaced. Protest by counsel for defense caused assignment of a new judge to hear the case, and Judge John C, Knox replaced Judge Jullan W. Mack on the bench. Aaron Sapiro of Chicago and San Francisco replaced Col. William Rand as counsel for Miller, but Max D. Steuer resumed defense of Daugh- erty. . Otherwise the courtroom, the one in which the first trial was held, seemed like the first trial were stiil under way, the familiar faces of Govern ment attorneys, witnesses and report- ers adding to the illusion that hours instead of months had elapsed since the first trial concluded in a disagree- ment. Jury Being Selected. Selection of jurors began at 10:30 from a long list of talesmen. The length of jury service, carried fre. quent requests for dismissal. Daugherty and Miller took their seats in the courtroom as the selection of the jury began. Mrs. Miller, who sat near her husband throughout the trial, took her seat beside her husband again today. by “GREATER TEMPLE” FUND INCREASED BY $162,000 Donations Toward Construction ef $10,000,000 Institution Tribute to Late Dr. Conwell.

Favorable Report to Be Made on Municipal Court Appointee. The Senate judiclary committee to- day ordered a favorable report on the nomination of Nathan Cayton, local attorney, who was named by President Coolidge to fill the vacancy as judge of the Municipal Court of the District. ‘The nomination of Mr. Cayton, with this favorable report, probably will be confirmed by the Senate within a few days. May Be Taken From Emergency Hospital to His Home. Showing considerable improvement from the ~heart attack he suffered at the Capitol Saturday, Senator An- drieus A. Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico may be taken from Emer- gen Hospital to his home today or tomorrow. Hospital attaches reported last night that the Senator had rested comfort- ably most of the day, gradually gain- ing strength. His temperature, pulse and respiration were normal. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, at- tending physician, said the attack had severely taxed Senator Jones' reserve strength and that he probably would not be in condition to resume the full burden of his duties in the present session.

Chairman Green of the House ways and means committee has drafted resolution which would give the com- mittee authority to begin writing of a new tax-reduction bill duging the com- ing Summer recess of Congress. The resolution was discussed at an executive committee meeting today, but action was deferred. More Demo- crats than Republicans were present at the meeting. ‘The resolution would ask that members of the committee re-elected to the next Congress be given the right to sit as a commission during the recess. This procedure was fol- lowed two years ago when the prese ent revenue law was written, As the present House has no au- thority to create a committee of the next House, the Senate, which is a continuing body, would have to ap- prove the resolution, Representative Garner of Texas, the ranking Democrat member, sald the minority would support the pro- posal. e DEAD ILLINOIS MEMBERS HONORED IN CONGRESS Memorial Services Held for Sen- ator McKinley and Repre- sentative Fuller, Memorial services were held in the House of Representatives yesterday for Senator William Brown McKinley |ana Representative Charles E.

PITTSBURG, Kans, February 7.—A dynamite bomb wrecked the home of Mrs. Earl Mayberry and killed her two children, a girl of 10 and a boy of 6, as they slept early today. Mrs. Mayberry was injured severely, but probably will recover. Mayberry, arrested soon after the explosion as he lay in bed in his room six blocks away, was being questioned.

Arrsted In Pajamas. The dellvery was made by Soloman while clothed in his sllk pajamas, cov- ered by an overcoat. He was taken into custody in this attire and immedi- ately taken to the office of Col. Nutt for questioning. Soloman was kept at the narcotic headquarters most of the morning in his dishabille, and in the meantime his clothes were brought from the hotel, he was allowed to dress, and at noon he was taken to police head- quarters, where he was finger-printed and photographed. He was then ar- ranged before Commissioner Turnage. Soloman’s companion w first found following the morphine de- livery when the ,agents raided the room. She was described as about 25 years of age, of striking beauty and attjred in ultra-fashionable othes, including a beautiful Russian sable fur coat. Col. Nutt this afternoon character ized the capture of the pair as one of the cleverest pieces of work on the part of his narcotic agents which has yet been accomplished. The extent of Soloman's alleged operations in narcotic drugs is not entirely known, but officials believe from evidence in hand that he s probably the largest Southern source of narcotic drugs. As a result of the arrest of Soloman, which was telegraphed at once to New York, officials have been advised that a number of big dealers in New York City already have been taken into custody this afternoon.

The sign on the window of Soloman's office gave the name of some kind of mineral water, alleged to_be invigorating.
