He is particularly interested in the ques- tione affecting Lafayette Park, a mat- ter that probably will be given special attention at the hearing before the District committee. g The real estate holdings of the Cos- mos Club, the most valuable club property in Washington, comprises 22,236 square feet. The frontage on Madison place, facing the square, is 203.6 feet, while the H street frontage is 76.75 feet. The average depth is about 115 feet, the whole being ap- proximately twice as large as the land of the University, Army and Navy and Racquet clubs and worth much more per square foot. 0ld Mansions Passing. ,On the H street side of Lafayette Square only one of the many fine old residences that once graced this dis- trict remains standing., Plans already have been let for the construction of a large apartment hotel on this side facing the White House. This would present, in the opinion of the Ameri- can Institute of Architects, a “hodge- podga” of buildings, with the further danger of similar buildings being erected on the west side of the square. The historic Decatur mansion, on the southwest corner of H street and tho square, ay pass unless this block is acquired by the Government, it was said. The Bruce amendment to the pub- lic building bill, which prevents the Government from purchasing land north of Pennsylvania avenue, it was pointed out by legislators, affects only the expenditure of the $50,000,000 ap- propriated for the immediate build- ings authorized. There is nothing to halt the Government from purchasing land in the vicinity of Lafayette Square north of the Avenue at some future time, it was explained. This would remove the fear that the Bruce amendment stands as a bar to the purchase of property on either the east or west sides of Lafayette Square. SN CHAPLIN BAN LIFTED.

To make a lee for the small boat, Cap*. Sutherland took the Laurfer practically under the stern of the liner. The little Laurier was tossed about like an eggshell, waiting for the American to drop a line. The first three lines went into the water in- of onto the Laurler, but one was finally secured and a cable was taken aboard. Then the Laurier pulled the great liner to weather, making a lee for the tug with the oil. This maneuver of the Laurier's captain proved successful and in a few min- utes the oil was being loaded. Once more the passengers gave a great cheer. Hardly had the move been accom- plished when, at dusk, the tug Coalopolis came smashing threugh the white caps. The Coalopolis then put a line on the Lady Laurfer, hold- ing her bow up to the wind, and cut. At 9 o'clock the captain of the Lau- rier again put off in a small boat to the Harding and conferred with Capt. Van Beek, and it was decided to leave the tow until daylight this morning. The liner was then in better condi- tion, as sufficient oil had been loaded to get up enough steam to work the ship’s dynamos full force. In the early morning a line was run to the Harding from the Laurier and a stern line given to the Coalopo- lis to steer by and the procession start- ed for Halifax, the American ship having enough power to use one of her engines at part speed. Halifax was reached without mishap about 2 o'clock. PR e e | stacked into a little mountain on the hted the lit- | r L2 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 19217.

This tour of inspection probably will prevent the subcommittee from hold- ing an executive session today for the purpose of arriving at a decision on those features of the bill concerning ‘which there is still some doubt.
