H which there was a noticeable increase

H Thero havo been no really large deals

H "were carried out near the end of the

H parently waiting for a decision on the

H Nearly every real estate dealer has
H reported an excellent outlook for tho

H quiries large. Many of the dealers re-

H nerd that contemnlaf ed last vear.
II Thus far the bui'dicg permits hare
I Bshibited enormous gains even over tho
I high showing of last year and a protn-
I lnent real estate deafer said Saturday
that there was every indication that
wthis line of business would be far ahead
of the total for last year, not only in
Value of permits but in number.
Work on New Buildings.
Progress on the new buildings under
course of orection is proceeding rapidly.
Workmen started tearing down the
I 'buildine on the McCrysial property,
the middle of the past week and the
building is now entirely demolished. It
is the intention of the owners to erect
a handsome skyscraper on tho location
; .and work wi1! bo carred forward as
1 coon as the crround can be prepared.
"The number of building permits for
I the past week has been unusually light,
j Onlv about eleven small ones, and
; mostly for alterations and additions
were renorted Saturday. Notice of the
I intended fil'tnc of the perm!t for the
I uew McCrvstal building on Main street
was civen out, however, and it is ex
pected that the permit will be presented
the first of this week.
In spire of the small showing for the
past week, however, tho total value of
permits for tis vear is moro than $300.
000 ahead of the tota1 for tho corre
sponding two months of last vear. Per
mits to the value of $700,000 havo al
readv been taken out. Tf the samo in
crease is made during the rest of this
year as has been maintained up to tho
present time. 1909 will surely bo a rec
ord breaker in building.
Comments on Situation.
Comments on tho situation among
real estate dealers all over the city con
firm this idea. also. Tho many chances
and improvements made in tho business
fronts along Main street between First
and Second South, as the result of the
move of business concerns farther south
has given a much better appearance to
this portion of the street.
The removal of the role: from Main
street between South Temple and
Fourth South and the contemplated re
moval of more, thus e'earing the hand
some thoroughfare as far couth as Ninth
South is all commented upon as an
indication that business people aro get
ting into line for a metropolis and that
the movement, is affecting building con
ditions more than ever.
The permanent establishmenf of Third
South as a business street and the rapid
encroachment of business on the street
one block further south indicates that
the movement in all lines of improve
ment will bo more rapid from this time
forward.

PRESIDENT'S PLAN TO
REORGANIZE THE NAVY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. resident
Roosevelt's commission on uavnl re
organisation, whose final report wont to
cougress toda', outlines a new depart
mental sj-stem which the president de
clares is sound and conservative and
in full accord with American policy.
It conteniplatOR for tho secrotary a
genoral council, a military council, and
, the redistribution of tho duties of the
present council in fivo divisions, the
chiefs of which aro to compose the
grand council who aro to bo tho as
sistant secretary-, three flag officers and
another flair officer, naval constructor or
civilian with technical training.
In submitting tho plan, the president
savs, in part:
"Nothing drastic is recommended as
to tho bureau or other acencics by
means of which the purely business af
fairs of tho navv department aro now
administered. Tho plan outlined docs
not imply any greater expenditure ot
money than at presont. II provides
moroly that tho monov should bo spent
wisely instead of as at present spending
it so that a certain proportion is wasted
in useless work."
To supplement and finish the work
of this commission, the presidont says,
another commission must eventual- bo
designated, to tako up tho proposed plan
and complcto it as to details; but no
plan can bo satisfactory if there is de
viation from tho essential military prin
ciples specified in this report.
Tho bureau system in its entirety
has been retained, but with additional
porsonnol. The commission's scheme is
merely an illustration of principles and ,
not a digested plan. i
It contemplates that tho assistant sec
retary shall be a civilian: a "man of
affairs," who shall be tho chief ofheer of
tho First division and shall have charge j
of the business of tho bureau ot yards i
nnd docks, tho bureau of supplies aud
tho bureau of medicine and surge rv; I
tho emnlovmont of civilians and kin
dred subjects.
The second, or division of naval oper
ation, whose chief shall bo a flag offi
cer, tho principal military adviser to
tho secretary, to bo without administra
tive functions, but to be cx-ofricio bead
of the general board and the board ot
construction is to supervise war plans
and the coneral policy and have under
his control the naval war college, the
office of naval intelligence and kindred
subjects. . ,
The Third division or personnel,
whoso chief shall bo a flag officer, to
bo charged es-oificio with the business
of bureau of navigation, all educational
institutions except tho naval war col
lowo; the marine corps, the discipline of
the naw. tho office of judgo-advocatc
coneral: the naval observatory and kin
dred subjects. 1
The fourth, or division of inspection, i
who?e chief shall bo a flag officer, shall
be charged with the duties pertaining to !
tho trials of ships: the inspection ot I
fleets, squadrons and ships of navy,
yards and stations, of sites for naval i
stations, and kindred subiocts.
Tho fifth, or technical division, whose
chief shall be a flag officer, a naval con
structor or a civilian, with a technical
training shall be a supervisory. charge (
of the business of tho four technical bu- ,
reaus of construction, ordinance, engi- ;
nceriug and equipment.
THE GENERAL DEFICIENCY !

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. Within!
throe hours after it had boon reported.
tho house today, under a suspension ot '
the rules, parsed tho genoral deficiency

The bill provides for expenses and

DISCHARGED SOLDIERS
MAY PROVE INNOCENCE
WASHING-TON. Feb. 27, Under a
special nilo tho house today passed tho
sonate bill granting to tho discharged
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth in
fantrv, said to have been involved in
the ''shooting up" of Brownsville,
Tex., the right to prove their innocence
and thus make thorn eligible for restora
tion to tho army. Many speeches were
made.
Mr. Slaydcn of Texas spoke in oppo
sition, and declared that conpross was
Becking by this bill to sot aside the
most righteous act of the Roosevelt ad
ministration. Tho bill now lacks onlj- tho presi
dent's signature.
During tho debate there was much
confusion, especially marked whon Mr.
Cockran of New York, in supporting the
bill, pleaded for exact justice to alu
"ilow about' the Japauesc?" &hcut,ed
Mr. Gaines of Tonnefsec. i
''Tho gentleman's interruption," re
plied Mr. Cockran, amid a roar of
laughter, "is always picturesque, but
not always sensible."
"iBut thc3r will all be taken back in

marked Ir. Jmrlcson of Texas, with
some hont.
Turning toward tho Texan member,
Mr. Cockran sharply retorted that "tho
gentloinan may bo as tiood a prophet as
Samuel of old, but this is not a placo
where prophecy can be ma do the basis
of legislation.
Far back in tho ehnmbcr. Mr. Slaydcn
was Kliouting at tho lop of his voice in
an appeal to Mr. Cockran to yield for
u question, the eponker all tho while
violently pounding .his gavel. Finally,
Mr. Slaydon was hoard to inquire upon
what Mr. Cockran based his conclusion
that any of tho discharged men wero
innocent. Tho New York member in
sisted that probably some of tho men
woro innocent.
CANNON AND GAINES
EXCHANGE HOT WORDS
WASHINGTON, Fob. 27. A sharp
clash botwoon Representative Graiues of
Tennessee and Speaker Cannon occurred
in tho house today, in tho courso of
which each claimed ho had been in
sulted by tho other. So persistent was
Mr. Gniurs in addressing tho chair,
when dorlarcd out of order, that tho
speaker directed the sergeant at arms
to "compn! him to bo in order."
Tho sergeant for the first time in sev
eral 3'eara took tho mace from its stand
and proceeded toward Mr. Gaines, but
tho speaker ca'led him back upon hear
ing tho Tonncssco meinbor say ho would
I bo in order.
Tho trouble arose during tho reading
of the general deficienc3- appropriation
bill, Mr. Gaines insisting on interrupt
ing. "I did not knoiv I was not in order,"
Mr. Gaines remarked.
Tho speaker with sorho warmth de
clared that Mr. Gaines had been a mom
bar of tho house long enough to know
that ho was not in ordr.
"It tak'cs a student like tho spenkor,"
retorted Mr. Gainoa, "to know what tho
rules aro. and he has to study them
overy few minutes with somebody to
prompt him."
"Tho gentleman from Tennessee."
! tho speaker hotly replied, "is absolutely
I discourteous and miasstatos tho facts."
' Bv this timo both men wero roughly
wroueht up.
"Tho-gentleman from Tennessee."
came back Mr. Gaines, "is no moro dis
courteous than the speaker is discour
teous to him."
"Tho chair desires at all times to be
as impartial as he can. but tho prac
tice has grown up occasionally for a
mombor. on the supposition that tho
speaker '6 tonguo is tired, to insult him.
and tho speaker will not submit to it."
CURRY DISAPPOINTED

zona and Now Mexico statehood bill,
and the attack made upon him aud oth
ers in connection witn the affairs po
litical of Now Mexico, Governor Curry
was indignant and disappointed, but
at tho samo tiuio was uot surprised.
Governor Curry said that tho eolo of
New Mexico courted tho full investiga

searching tho investigation tin- more
complete would bo thair vindication,
lie considers tho criticisms of a cer

I. INTERESTING REMINHSCENCES OF INAUGURAL I
AND OTHER. HISTORIC NATIONAL PARADES
I : I
Special to Tho Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Fob. 27. Evor since
the Kent of national government was
removed to Washington, Puunsylvnuiu
avfinun, straightest and hroadcHi and
most famous of all tho city's thorough
fares, has bef.n tho sceno of panulos
and public pageantries of overy de
scription, sonic of thorn of such a "char
actor .is to mark epochs in tho nation's
history. Inaugural proccssious, triumph
ant pageants, fuuoral corteges, civic
outpourings and military reviews have
occupied tho long strot'oji of straight,
wido Htreol., I much without number and
it will undoubtedly continue to bo tho
plnco for such affairs until thy end of
time.
lij the spirit of comparison by which
tho nature and importance of such pa
rndos in the past has been judged, tho
inauguial procession on March -1, whon
William Howard Taft is induct-1 into
otTico, will not bo thu least intorestiug
of nil tho list of public pago-tu'.s. Cer
tainly by comparison with Welling
ton's first inaugural "nnrade," or in
fact withi tho first parade of any kind,
it will bo romarkablo. For the first
inauguration of Washington was on
March 4, 1S0.I, and Pennsylvania avc
nuo was then morel v a strip of coun
try road with tho president's residence
i which wasn't called tho Whito House
then at oue cud and a very Binali ra
tion of tho present cai.ilol building at
tho other.
Tho inaugural parade must have beou
anythiug but imposing, ior at tho ap
pointed time Thomas Jcfforson, ho of
tho homespun clothos and oft-quotvl
simplicity, jumped on his librae, rodo to
tho capitol, accompanied only ty a small
guard of militia, cavalry and friends,
took the oath of office and returned In
tho samo manner. And according to
contemporaneous accounts a ''vast con
course " of 1000 citizens stool in the
orchards and gardens ucd fields behind
tho old worm fonco iliac bor ''J'C.1 tho
avenue in those days, to witness tho
affair.
This fourth of M.aicn there will be
more than 30,000 men in Ii.;, and they
will :e,icscnt ovor section of the
United States, continental and other
wise, many of them hailing from por
tions of the country that at tho time
of that first inaugural were nouling
wildernesses. It has taken more than
a century for tho little body of militia
cavalry that accompaniod Jelfowon to
the capitol to oxpand into 30.0U0 regu
lai and militia iionj. and the "vast
concourse" of citizens along the line
ef maroh to grow into a truly grct
ciowd of several hundred thousand.
And in the j'ears between the march of
parado and of pageant has been stead
lly going on and gonie of them will al
ways livo, in tho pages of history at
least.
But to hark back tp the days of tho
first parade, neither was thero anything
very imposing about Jefferson 's second
inauguration, although on this occasion
the little cavalry escort was supple
ment ed by a body of employees from
the Washington navy yard. In 1817,
President Monroe, was satisfied with an
escort of citizens on horseback, and tho
poriormanco was repeated at his sec
ond inauguration. But when Andrew
Jackson was inaugurated, in 1S20,
Washington had its first glimpse of tho
popular feeling, tho enthusiasm, tho pa
triotism, tho sympathy of the hospital
ity that would bo tho occasion for great.
Pennsylvania avenue pageants in the
future. Of Jackson's inauguration,
Daniel Webster said:
"Novor has such a crowd been soon
hero before. There must have been
fully S000 people along the lino of
march. Persons camo 500 miles to see
tho president inaugurated. "
Van Huron, in 1337, had a "splendid
escort" for those days, and 20,000 spec
tators stood along the lino of march.
And the carriago in which the prosideut
rodo attracted almost as much atlontion
as ho did himsolf, for it was mado out
of wood taken from tho old hull of the
victorious American friato Constitu
tion Old Ironsides and built at the
exponso of the New York democracy
nnd by them presented to tho president.
Tho parade on March 1, IS'll, was
probably tho most interesting up to
that timo. General Harrison, the pres
idont -oloct, rodo on horseback to the
capitol, and came back in a coach pre
sented to him by tno WhigS of Balti
more. Hundreds of "r- cabin" tloats
were displayed in tho parade, and
amoug his escort wore members of the
Harrisburg conventiou and victorious
soldiers who had fought under the pres
ident at Tippecanoe. Scvonty-fivo thou
sand spectators attended to do General
Harrison honor.
Prosident Polk was rather fond of
display and his tastes not particularly
military, consequently his inaugural es
cort was more "mixed " than any other
up to that timo. It included a. number
of military organizations, veterans of
the revolutionary war. mombors of his
cabinet, tho clergy oj tho District of
Columbia, nnd tho professors and stu
dents of Georgetown college. His ca:
riago, both to and from the capitol, wa?
fianked by the Fairfax cavalry, a kid
glove Virginia rogimont, recruited fron.
among tho gentleman planters of the
old Dominion.
In 13-19, March 4 fell on Sunday, and
so General Zachary Taylor was inaugu
rated at 0 o'clock on Monday morning.
That old fighter liked to do things in
style, and tho carriago in which ho
rodo to tho capitol was drawn by four
prancing gra's nnd his eocort, almost
exclusively military, was particularly
large aud imposing for thuso days.
Thero was nothing of the holiday
spirit presont when Prosident Lincoln
was inaugurated on March -1, 1SG1. It
was truo that he had a Iari?o escort
but it was oxclusivoly military, aud
cvory. soldier ofttho many that marched
bofore and behind and bolide his ear
riago had his musket loaded and ready
for instaut uso. Man' Kpectntors lined
tho sidewalks, too, but nino-teiuhs of
them wero soldiers as well, koiho in thoir
regimentals and othors iu citizen dress,
but all armed and on the watch for the
ever-present danger that threatened
tho chief executive. Tho housetops and
windows along tho way wore crowded
with spectators, but nine-tenths of
theso were soldiers also, an-! 'hey paid
more attention to tho civilian wp-jeca-tora
on tho pavements below .id in
tho windows and on the huttsntops op
posite than thoy did to tho inauguial
procession( itself. Thero was in. encor
ing and, in fact, no demonstration of
any kind, for ovou the most enthusi
astic of patriots folt anything but hope
ful in those dark days.
On the occasion of Lincoln's second
inauguration in 18C5, tho escort was
larger and qvoh moro exclusively mili
tary, and the walei that was kept along
tho lino of march was oven moro vigi
lant than before. iMit enthusiasm and
patriotism was given free roin t then,
and the president and his procession
were cheered to tho echo.
Of cour30. since the time when Presi
dent Joficrsoii and his little party rodo
in tho first avenue parado, many funer'
al processions passed down itn length,
lint it was on April 10, 1805, that Penn-sj-lvania
avcuuo rcceivod its baptism of
lauonal sorrow. That was whon the
funeral eoilogc in its midst tho y.-r
on which lay tho body of Lincoln, pnnaed
down the ruc.mic from tho Whito Home
to tho capitol, where the reuiainn of
tl.r martyred president wero placed to
lie in stato for two days. Tho hinern!
ceremonies began at sunrise with tbo
booming of minute guus from the forts
around Washington, although tho funer
al cortege did not leave the White
House uut.il 2 o'clock in tho aftoruoon.
And whon .it did, tho gathering of dis
tinguished mou who followed tho bier
was "of a character to lend dignity to
the scene, including at. is did the presi
dont, tho chief justice, the associate
justices of the supremo court, tho mom
bors of congress almost to a man, cabi
not members and executive officers of
tho government, generals and other of
ficers of tho army of high and low de
gree, foreign embassadors and other
members of tho diplomatic corps, the
entire clergy of Washington, with repre
sentatives from other cities, and a mul
titude of soldiors and citizens gathered
from far and near. At 2 o'clock the
procossion left tho Whito llonso and
procoeded down Pennsylvania avenuo
to the capitol.
Tho avonue for tho whole distance had
been cloared by tho police aud soldiery,
but the pavoments wero lined with silent
and subdued citizens, few of them
taking tho trouble to hide tho visible
evidences of their grief. Tho columnj
advancing to tho solemn booming ot
minute uns, proceeded slowly towards
tho capitol, first tho military escort, a
mile in length, each soldier with arms
rovcrsod and. draped in black, marching
to the solemn sound of dirge music
and the thump of muffled drums. After
the soldiery camo the civic division,
headed by Marshal Lamon, Snrgcon
Gencral B'arnog and tho other physicians
who had attended the prosident after he
had boon shot. Bohind these gentlemen
was tho funeral car. attended by fifteen
pallbearers selected from congress, the l
army and navv and civil life, and then I
the president's family. Tho civic so
cieties, delegations from other cities
etc., brought up tho roar. Tho whole
procossion was three miles long, and
consumed two hours and a quarter in
passing a given point.
A little more than a month later
on May 23, to be exact tho grand re
view began, the greatest and most im
portant parade that Pennsylvania ave
nue over saw, or probably over will see.
Two hundred and forty thousand men,
comprising tho victorious armies of tho
Potomac and the Mississippi, under Gen
erals Meade and Sherman, marched up
tho avenuo and wero roviewed by their
constitutional commandcr-in-chier. From
dawn till dark, for two days, the Union
soldiers marched by in a constant
stream, and the clouds of dust kicked
up by thoir swinging stride hung over
the city like a pall. For Pennsj-lvania
avonue thon,-and in the yoars preceding,
was far different from what it is now.
"Tho worst street in tho country" it
had often boen called, and with justice
at that time. In dry weather a high
way of choking dust, in tho rainv sea
son a quagmire of yellow mud and
many pitfalls. But. the great army did
rot "imnd. The ovation thev received,
with an understanding of what it meant,
was thoir reward.
Probably the country will never ceo
tho like of that grand voviow. Some of
tho soldiers wero barefooted, all were
worn and dust-begrimed, many were in
tags. Some of the regiments in the
march past woro numerically as strong
as when they went into the iVdenil orv
ico. Rome were fully officered, while in
others, sergeants, corporals and even
privates, recently promoted and uuuni
fornied, woro in supremo command. Tho
spectators alternated between laughter
and tears, choors and groaus. The re
viow was certainly a propjrti-inar.ely
proper and fitting climax o the great
est wni in tho nation's history. Novtr
was Wnshiugton so packed with human
ity, l'lntivoly speaking, as during tho
grand grand review. Tho newspapers
of tho city and of tho country gavo suf
ficient notieo oven to the remotest ham
lots and tho people came literally in
multitudes. Pain tors, poets, historians
and newspaper men wero thero to give
it fame. The lawyer loft his briefs; the
artisan his bench, tho farmer his plow,
to groot tho veterans whose trials and
exploits for tho preceding four years
were tho general themo in off ico, work
shop and home. The spectators who
were there mny have read of tho tri
umphal entrnnco of victorious legions
in old world countries, but they folt
and acted as if the grand review sur
passed iu spectacular display and his
toric interest anything the world had
ever seen.
In ISSl, sixteen years after the Lin
coln funeral procession, and the inarch
! past of the armies in the grand review,
the Garfield funeral cortege passed
down the historic avenue. Probably no
j event in history, save perhaps the as
i naesination of President Lincoln in 1865
j and of Prosident McKinley forty years
later, so nbockod tho American people
as tho killincr of President Garfield by
the lunatic Guiteau. The funeral pro
cossion from the railroad station when
Garfield's body was brought to the
capitol from Elberon, whore he had been
taken, and later from the capitol to the
railroad station, was imposing, although
the gathering of persons from other
points was lacking. But tho crepo
draped military again marched with
arms reversed to dirg9 music and muf
fled drums.
w u
Like the inauguration of President
Abraham Lincoln, tho inauguration of
President Cleveland on March 4, 18S",
denoted a chango in the parties in
power and-was a noteworthy event in
the history of Pennsylvania avenue
pageants. Hundreds of thousands of
people poured into the city from evory
section of the United States to witness
tho ceremonies. No such military dis
play had been seen in Washington
since the grand review of 1S65, and the
procession on Pennsylvania a'enuo was
Erobably the largest in point of num
ers that ever escorted a president.
Benjamin Harrison's inaugural pro
cession in 1S59 was nothing out of the
ordinary, but when President McKinley
was inaugurated for the first time the
procession was quite as extensive and as
imposing as that whicli escorted Cleve
land. The famous black horse troop of
Cleveland, O., formed the president's
bodyguard, and tbo civic organizations
in lino were particularly numerous. So
it was when McKinley was inaugurated
for tho second time.
Of course, during all tho years thero
have been parades in honor of di lZ
tinguishcd visitors. Tho Prince of ' W
Wales, who visited tho United State! ' it
whon only 10 years of ago. must haw 'SI
thought but litllo of the miliSy fore,, f 11
ot the United States, for his escort wv 'E"
small in numbers and not particularly !
imposing in any other way. The ei i
zons of Washington tried to supplornw .'frll
the escort with their militia and civKiMW
organizations, Juit the avenuo was njtTCJflrl

kepmg with the importance of an into- I &
national visitation was offered on thV -JL'--
occasion, of the visit of Prince Henn ift
ol Prussia. All the regular army orcaii mW
izations for miles around Washington - YfiP-:
were turned out then, aud the prince f Po1
probably took homo with him a better T

lay in state.. All the distinguished men WL'
ot the national government were in Mtofl'l
that sorrowing procession, and the, usuv li-
military division formed part of th. jftii'
escort. Never has a day been roore i Wal
