'B—6 = Germany to Build Embassy On Site of “Garage Incident” Colorful Career, Involving Policeman, Auto Housing and Four Govern- ments, Marks Property. The spot where one Jeremiah Sulli- van—a Washington policeman with more than the usual quota of whim- nd his famous garages once | to the great dismay of at| governments, is the place least four where Germany is going to build a new Embassy. Announcement yesterday of plans to | build the new structure at Bancroft place and S street, on property long owned by the German government, re- called the little comedy of interna- tional aspect which was launched al- most two decades ago, with Sullivan, pow dead, in the leading role. The imperial German government purchased the property, located in the beautifully wooded heights between Connecticut and Massachusetts ave- nhues, in 1905, when Barvon S. von fternburg was Ambassador. Pvt. Sullivan Moves In. Years later found Pvt. J. Sullivan, | member of the Metropolitan Police Department, assigned to a beat in this section. He was asked to keep an eve | on the old home place on the estate, | and later on, when he suggested he | might as well move into the place, ms: {dea was accepted. | The war interrupted German's plans | to construct a new Embassy. Then the United States entered the conflict, | but Sullivan felt entirely 'at hom> on | German territory, then being admin- | istered by the Swiss Legation. The garage affair then had its real beginning. Sullivan used to say it was | an Army officer who gave him the| idea. The presence of war workers| made parking difficult, and on Sulli- van's beat night parking was banned. The Army officer, it seems, was one of those who got a parking ticket from the policeman. “Why don't you put up some garages on that vacant property of ‘yours’ and we wouldn't have to park in the streets?” the officer asked Sullivan. Gets Permission First. No sooner said than done. After obtaining permission from the Swiss Legation, Sullivan started building garages. Before he was finished, he had some 50 of them and was receiv- ing $10 a month rental from each one. Everything went along fine until Sullivan clashed with his superiors and left the police department. He began hearing complaints about the garages from official sources, but he worried little as the rent money kept coming in. Sullivan used to recall that some representations were made through the Swiss Legation to oust him, but without success. Time marched on, the German em- pire fell, republic succeeded monarchy, but the garages stayed. In the in- cumbency of the first German Ambas- sador accredited here after the war, the question of Sullivan's occupancy was raised, but with little success, and the matter drifted along. Death Intervenes. But in 1927 Jeremiah Sullivan died, and the following year formal demand for the property was served on his son from the German Embassy. He was given 30 days to vacate. He demurred, contending the time was too short, but expressing willingness to leave. The case went to Municipal Court, and on December 19, 1928, the “German state” got judgment for possession. The German government represen- tatives years previously were housed in a tiny structure on Fiftednth street, the site now of a large apartmen: house. At the time, in the 1870s, it At last!

In 1893 the imperial German govern- ment purchased from Carol Thomas Ferguson the house at 1435 Massa- chusetts avenue, and, after the war, bought the buildings at 1437-41 Mas- sachusetts avenue, where the present Embassy and chancery now are lo- cated. The new Embassy will be in modern German style, and a competition is under way among Germar architects for a design. It is hoped plans will be completed by January or Feb- ruary. —_— RED CROSS VOTES USE OF $100,000 IN CHINA The Central Committee of the American Red Cross uas authorized a contribution of $100,000 to be spent for medical supplies and services for sick and injured of all nationalities in China, Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chairman, announced yesterday. The Japanese Red Cross has indi- cated it has sufficient funds, Admiral Grayson said. Admiral Grayson pointed out that $30,000 previously had been given by the Red Cross to ald Americans and other nationals in evacuating their | families from China. Chapters all over | the Nation were notified recently to accept contributions for China relief. | “Every dollar received for relief in China will be spent 100 per cent rnri that relief,” Admiral Grayson de- clared. | av . »vmmanawe #m RN NS A ¥, JUST PHONE = LEAVE IT 70 US~ Every Customer a Satistied Customer TRANSFER STORAGE CO'NC 1713 U STREET N W QeI T4 3 * * s ] ] 1 . .
