A Temple of Art For Washington Aims At Public Endowment
The Post urges a public spirited benefactor to fund a grand temple of art in Washington. It would rival national buildings, host affordable opera and drama, and stand with four equal fronts at least fifty feet from others. A $12 to $15 million endowment is proposed to create a lasting, monumental institution. Washington's rise as a social center and private munificence to sustain such a temple are discussed, with debate on government versus private support.

Roosevelt Not Balked In Civil Service Exam Plan
Washington dispatch reports Congress aimed to curb presidential use of special commissioners by mandating civil service exams for investigators. Crumpacker met the President, who hinted at a selective Civil Service examination to be followed by Secretary Straus choosing suitable men, potentially naming James B Reynolds for key investigations. A New Haven dispatch claims a wedding trust was defeated as the legislature rejected clergy proposals to monopolize the marriage ceremony. Justices argued state figures, saying ministers would not control nuptials and risked depopulating the state.
