Green's Plea Refused Trial Set For January 12
Nathaniel Green the accused in the assault on Mrs. Adelaide W. Grant appeared in Criminal Court No. 3. He pleaded guilty but the judge sustained an exception by the U.S. District Attorney and set the trial for January 12. A new legal point was raised over whether a guilty plea can be limited by the court in capital punishment cases. The court argued it would be up to the jury to decide capital punishment, not the judge. The defense indicated an appeal possible if convicted.

MacVeagh Urges Central Plant For Government Buildings
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh urged Congress to act this session on a plan to build a central power and heat plant for key federal buildings.

The bill is before the House appropriations committee and would include a tunnel linking the Treasury and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for money transfer. The site is government land south of Water Street near the Long Bridge approach.

Armory Project Urged For District National Guard
Brig. Gen. Mills urges Congress to fund a model armory in the District of Columbia for the National Guard. The plan, backed by a Senate committee, proposes $1,750,000 for a building south of EB Street NW between 12th and 14th streets. Mills argues proper armory housing supports militia instruction and national property protection, serving as a lesson to state officers and visiting federal officials. The District Guard strength was 134 officers and 1,318 enlisted at last inspection, up from prior figures.
