PLANT WILL HEAT | 50, BULDINES Treasury Gives Out Further Details of $5,000,000 Triangle Project. | { i Further details concerning the new $5,000,000 central heating plant which the Government plans to build in the square bounded by C, D, Twelfth and Thirteenth streets southwest were fur- nished yesterday in a formal statement issued by the Treasury. The plant is designed to furnish heat to new Government buildings projected for the gigantic triangie bounded by Pennsylvania avenue northwest, Mary- land avenue southwest and Fifteenth street. Architects for the heating plant were chosen recently. The large area to be supplied in- cludes in reality two triangles, one on the north and another on the south side of the Mall. Tvo larg: new build- ings already have been constructed in | the north triangle—the Commerce De- | partment’s $17,500,000 structure and the new $10,000,000 Bureau of Internal | Revenue Building. Many new struc- ! tures are to go up in the early future, | with demolition work now being car- ried on rapidly in several parts of the north triangle. 1 Triangle Land Available. In the triangle south of the Mall, which falls within the jurisdiction of the so-called Keyes-Elliott bill, land can be purchased for Government structures. One large new building, the Department of Agriculture Admin- +istration Building, already has been | completed and occupied on the edge of the Mall, and another large struc- || ture, known' as the “extensible” build- ing for the Department of Agriculture, has been well advanced in the square | || bounded by B, C and Thirteenth streets | ||and Linworth place. Construction has been stopped there, | however, as the contractor, Nelson- Pedley Co., went into receivership about the middle of March. || The great extensible building for the Agriculture Department eventually is to cover three blocks. | The new heating plant, it was ex- || plained in the Treasury statement, “has been under consideration for a period of years, and the decision to build it at this time has been reached because of the requirements for supplying heat and power ‘to the new Government bulldings recently completed, now under construction, or contemplated in the district known as the triangle.” Steam to Be Supplied. “The plant,” continued the Treasury statement, “is planned ultimately to furnish steam for 26 buildings, which in an average year will consume ap- proximately 1,500,000,000 pounds of steam. The present installation will be about 25 per cent less, and the future increases in demand will be taken care of by extending the plant ||and the mains to supply the additional || load. || “Steam will be distributed to the buildings through pipes varying in diameter from 3 inches to 18 inches | and having an aggregate length of ap- proximately five miles. These pipes will occuply underground pipeways in the form of tunnels and conduits, “In connection with the heating plant, an electrical substation will be built, which will distribute power from the Potomac Electric Co. || “The buildings which will be supplledl with steam and electric light and power {in the initial installation will consume | approximately 34,000,000 kilowatt hours | of electric current in an average year | with a maximum demand on the elec trical distribution system of approxi- || mately 18,000 kilowatts. The future || extensions will increase these demands || by about 35 per cent. | ““Special attention Will be given to | the architectural features of the plant, which will be approved by the Fine Arts Commission of Washington. “The site selected will permit of fu- || ture extension of the plant as required |and will provide for the supply of fuel | by ralroad connection.” Candidates SEEKING SECRETARYSHIP OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN.

DENIES CARESS CHARGE John A. Delaney Answers Suit of M. John A. Delaney, defendant in two ravil actions for $40,000, has entered a denlal of the charges set forth in the complaints—namely, that he hugged and kissed Mrs. Lena Gonzales, 1448 Girard street, wife of a friend, Manuel Gonzales. The sults, based on_the alleged ca- resses, were filed by Gonzales and his wife early in the year. They state the defendant took advantage of his friendship to the extent that he “hugged and kissed” Mrs. Gonzales, and that she was made 1]l by the alleged action. Delaney admits he was in the com- pany of Mrs. Gonzales last November 30.7bub d!f\iesithe S‘}‘,E,e‘ o : FOR RENT | Store Room, 806 F St. N.W. Suitable for any business. Reasonable Rent. J. B.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 11— | Held without bail after a preliminary | court hearing, Mrs. Frances Thomsen, 29, former school teacher, was a| prisoner in the Luzerne County Jail | tonight as friends and relatives prepared | to assist in her defense. She was ordered committed to jail | to await the next grand jury aiter | Judge W. S. McLean's court today | listened to details of the killing of Miss | Minnie E. Dilley. 76-year-old wealthy recluse. Miss Diliey’s body, bruised and with her throat cut, was found in her | richly furnished Forty Fort home a week ago tonight. May Ask Sanity Test. Attorney John H. Dando, retained by Wellesley College alumnae to defend Mrs. Thomsen, spent the afternoon con- ferring with the woman’s husband, Carl Thomsen of Pittsburgh, and her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Galpin of Long Island. | Dando would not issue a statement to | newspaper men, but he intimated the | court would be asked to appoint a | Lunacy Commission to inquiry into Mrs. Thomsen's mental condition. Feared “Love Cult.” Letters written by Mrs. Thomsen and | found in Miss Dilley'’s home were read | today during the theee-hour arraign- | ment. They were written by the Pitts- burgh woman while she was haunted by | the fear, she said, that Miss Dilley was planning to start a “love cult” in the Pocono Mountains. Mrs. Thomsen's husband was to be appointed general manager of the “love school,” according to_the letters. | These letters dated back to four years ago, when the Thomsen family lved across the street from Miss Dilley. While some of them were written in correct English, several others were in a rambling style, difficult to decipher. It | was the fear of losing her husband to the older woman that unbalanced Mrs. Thomsen, her attorney said. SOCIETY PLANS BALL Iowans to Take Trip Through‘ Printing Office April 17.
