The Tricks of Washington Real
Estate Men.
From the Nel0. YORK World

From the Men, York World.
WASHINGTON, June .1.-Mr. Corcoran,
the Washington millionaire, has found a
new object to distract his attention. He
is devoted to the idea Of having the Rock
Greek valley, to the north west of Wash
ington, turned into national park. He
wants Congress to appropriate the money
right away for this purpose. Land
through this valley is now worth i'm the
neighborhood Of $500 an acre. 1t is the
connecting section Of ground between the
Presidents new place and West Wash
ington. The fact OF the Presidents pur-
chase, which has been fully described in
the World, has fairly made lunaiics
of the real estate agents in
Washington They are fighting aud snap
ping over all the territory in the neig b boz =
hood Of the Presidents place in a way
that is really comicaL When Mr.. Wilson
made an offer TO purchase the Green es-
tate, il was found that Mr.. Green had
contract with a real estate agent down
town for lts sale. Marshal Wilson re-
fused to purchase through this agent.
Then the agent had to he bought out. He
surrendered his contract fOf 500, not
knowing that the President was the pur-
chaser behind Wilson. Then when 10
discovered this he was infuriaied and
charged that he had been sWiLdled ont

borhOod OF the Presidents farm is
now so fierce that | should not be at all
surprised to hear Of some OF these Wash
ington agents killing each other on the
dark red road leading 10 Tenallytown, in
their eager contest 10 get the start OF each
other. One poor old lady living up In a
forlorn and desolate place not far away
from the Presidents farm was rung up
out OF bed at 10 O'clock one night about a
week ago by a lOng-legged agent, who
made her dress and sign an agreement TO
sell the place for certain figure. This
paper gave him a six months option on
place which the Old lady had for
a number Of years been trying TO sell.
The visit OF the real estate agent, even at
the unhallOwed hour OF 10, came 10 her like
a visit from an angel on high. She signed
the agreement for a sale with tears OF
gratitude in her venerable eyes. Two
days afterwards she learned that this
same agent beld her place al just twice
the figures he had offered her. and without
paying the poor old woman a cent OF
money was going 10 be able, through his
contract. to selllhoF lace for double what
