Growth of the Bureau.
As most people are aware, the lnstl
tutlon known as th» International Bu
reau of American Republics, or Pan
American bureau, as it Is usually
railed, is a sort of common headquar
ters and clearing house for informa
tion. maintained jointly by all the
American nations from the great lakes
to Cape Horn. It was tha outgrowth
of the first Pan American* conference
which was held la Washington in lg$9
and it U maintained by a common
fund to which all of the Independent
nations of the three Americas “chip
in" Id proponlea to their population
Inasmuch as the United States by this
plan pays more than half of the ex
peeses of the bureau. Its' headquarters
have from the outset been located in
Washington.
Some years ago wnen the rented
quarters of tbe bureau in Washington
became man festly Inadequate for Its
expanding activities, a project was set
afoot to erect a permanent Lome lor
It. It was to cost $125,000, sort the
different republics were to contribute
In proportion lo population as they do
for tne annual expenses of the insti
tution. Several of the Soutn Amer
ican countries proceeded on this basis
and there was something like $50,000
on hand when the congress of the.
United States declared for a more pre
tentious building and appropriated
1200,000 Instead of merely Its share of
the $125,000. Soon after Andrew Car
negie came forward and offered to do
nate the whole sum needed for .. build'
ing— and a much Bner building tha
had previously been thought of. H»
had previously donated millions of dol
lar* for iho fatuous "peace palace" at
The Hague, and it was his idea to
have the new edifice in Washington

W ith three-quarter* of a million dot
lar* provided by Mr Carnegie for a
budding, the Pan American bureau
»a* enabled to devote the tHtVOfl*
°* hand to the purchase of a site, and
a most admirable tract of several
acres was secured ;n an Ideal location
south of the White House and over
!«>->klng the Potomac river. Here a
surpassingly beautiful marble palace
has been reared from the prise de
sK-ns submitted In the competition
which was entered hy architect* In all
parts of the country—and. indeed, of
the continent There Is a distinct
touch of the Spanish in the architec
ture. markedly in the introduction of
a tile roof and the provision of a
"patio" or inner court such as consti
tutes the most distinctive feature of
the typical I .attn-American mansion
The whole architectural policy in the
case of this building has been to pro
vide a structure more suggestive of a
palatial private residence than a pub
lic office structure
The "patio" or picturesque court
yard. Is protected from the sun hy an
overhanging roof and cooled by maters
failing from a beauilful marble foun
tain On all hands are tropical plants,
while the quaint pavement white
stucco walls and lew doers suggest the
Spanish atmosphere. Much space In
the rooms which open from this "pa
tio" is gHen over to the Columbus Me
nio^al library, the great collection of
book* on Pan American subjects
which Is one of the principal features
of the bureau. There are stack rooms
for 120.000 volumes; a fireproof vault
for valuable documents and a reading
room 40 by 100 feet in site. •
Offices occupy most of the second
floor of the new building, the princi
pal apartments being designed for the
use of the director of the bureau, the
secretary and the governing board
On this floor also is the beautiful as
sembly hall or hall of American am
bassadors. of which mention has al
ready been made. This imposing au
ditorium is more than 100 feet la
length and 05 feet In width. A total
of two doien ornamental columns sup
port the ceiling which rises 45 feet
above the floor. Five large bay win
dows with balconies overlook the gar
den in the patio. It may be added In
conclusion that this patio has been
so arranged that in winter it trill be
transformed into a winter garden
