Since the death of Colonel Roose-
velt, old-timers In Washington have
been recalling many Incidents Illus
trative of the tremendous vitality of
the man. his determination to get
things accomplished, and his unwill
ingness to let red tape interfere with
the accomplishment of that which
seemed necessary to be done. One
nf these incidents was recounted the
other day by Col. William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the Roose-
volt Memorial association. It was
narrated with much appreciation by a
congressman who didn't appreciate ft
80 much when It occurred. It ran
as follows :
The government was co-operating
with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio railroads In the project for
a new union station—the present fine
edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania’s
old station—now the mall near the
White House—had been purchased by
the government, and It was purposed
to raze the buildings. But congress
had been held late In a special ses
sion. and the members were anxious
to get home, so it was decided to
postpone the letting of bids for tear
ing down the buildings until congress
reassembled the next fall. This duty
* naturally devolved on the committee
on the District of Columbia, which
has charge of government property
In the district. Meantime a major of
engineers was placed in charge, as
custodian.
When the committee held Its first
meeting at the next session of con
gress, the matter of letting contracts
fnr the razing of the old station was
brought up.
“Why, gentlemen," declared an as
tonished representative, “there Is
nothing to tear down. I walked past
there this morning, and there's noth
ing hut the bare earth where the old
station stood."
The committee sent post-haste for
the custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become of the
building he had charge of,
“It has been razed and the material
stored, sir.” replied the major.
“By whose order?” queried the
chairman, red in the face.
