The past week has not been produc-

portance, the only one OF note being
the purchase by Henry A Willard OF
the property 1922 F street northwest,
for $4,000. Mr.. Willard now owns the
kellogg building and all the other prop

and the Corcoran building. 1t Is not
thought that he contemplates any rad
ical changes in these properties In the
near future, although IT is understood
that he has thought favorably OF the
erection of a large once building on
the site of some of the houses adjoining
the Kellogg building.

HOTELS AROUND
UNION STATION
None But Those of MOder-
ate Size Can Be Built.
LIKELY TO BE PROFITABLE
Increasing Scarcity of Houses for Rent.
Unusually Large Demand tor
Them.

While the work on the big Union
Station Is being pushed with all possible
energy, people who take general or
special interest in the transformation
OF that part of the city are speculating
upon the use that is 10 be made of the
property, improved as well as unimprov-
ed. adjacent thereto. This relates. OF
course, not merely to property immedi-
ately abutting on the plaza, but also to
holdings in the streets leading there.
The question to what extent these pro-
perties might be utilized in the erection
of hotels, and the kind of hostelries
that would prove the most profitable
has been considered by more than one
real estate broker but 1t would seem
as il no satisfactory conclusion had
been arrived at thus far
One member of real estate firm that
has had extensive dealings In property
near the Union station. is of the opinion
that The project. mooted some time ago,
OF building hotel there rivaling in size
the New Willard would not be advisable
he believes that patrons OF such a hotel
prefer location in the heart of the
city and in fairly close proximity to the
public buildings. theaters. and other
show places
Room for Small Hotels.
This gentleman, however, thinks that
hotels with not exceeding one hundred
rooms and with comfortable accommo-
daiions at moderate prices would do
an excellent business. 1t will be re-
mcmb bered that the District Commits
sioners have enacted a rule. which has
the force OF law. prohibiting the erect
ing of any building facing the plaza
more than four stories il height This
order was made so as TO prevent a sky
line out of harmony with that of the
Union Station itself
The broker referred to is inclined to
believe that quite number of four
story hotels might do a good business In
the vicinity Of the plaza. He called at
tentfon to the probable falling away OF
patronage from the hotels In the vicin-
ity of the present Baltimore and Ohio
and Pennsylvania stations after the GEN.
ter of railway traffic has been trans
ferred to the Union Station, and argued
that the same class of people now pa
tronizing existing hotels would gladly
avail themselves of convenient quar-
ters near the new depot. He suggested
that II might be profitable venture for
a syndicate to build several of such
mOderate-sized hotels and rent them 1t

Houses for Rent Scarce.

Real estate agents. particularly those
that make a speciality of renting houses.
are loud in their lamentations over the
scarcity of material. Not few Of them
declared within the past week that they
had not a house on their list for rent.
The demand is infinitely greater than
the supply. especially in regard TO
houses at moderate prices In this cate
CORY are included houses renting at
from SIS TO $50. and containing from six
to ten rooms. In the more modern
parts of the city. practically nothing
can be had at these figures. The fact
is that no sooner is a row OF houses
finished by the builder than there are
eager tenants for each one of them NO
less remarkable Is the fact that there
is no let-up In the demand for mats
Apartment houses. both large and small,

While there will be ample hotel ac-

ways a class Of travellers that like to
take quarters near the depot People
from the country districts; some COM
mercial travellers: men who have only
day or two to stay in town; persons

these favor what are generally called

Today The Times special dispatch

to Colonial Beach and other river
points The enterprise of the men who
have had charge of delivering The Sun
day Times far in advance or the time
1t has been customary heretofore to
serve Sunday papers to patrons Of re-
sorts down the river has been so en-
tirely satisfactory IN its results that
plans are already under way for still
better and more extensive service next
year.
Despite the fact that every effort was
made by The Times competitors TO neu-
traiize the situation which the wide
awake activity of the crew OF the dis
patch boat had created through their
determipattonr to set a new pace In the
delivering of papers at resorts on the
river. there has no: been z Sunday the
entire season The Times boat failed
TO GiStaEce the craft that pursued her
down the Potomac.
Not only did this result in giving the
people at Colonial Beach papers several
hours earlier than they have ever had

where Sunday papers were before un-
known also enjoyed the privilege of

them, and several times swept the boat,

REPORTED BID FOR HYDE STOCK
Gould Interests Said to Want Equit-

said. and would be most unWelcome to
them, as it would foreshadow a broad re-
organization of the Equitable at the next
annual election. George j. Gould, one of
Mr.. Hydes closest personal friends and
business associates. is at the head of the in
terests which have been trying to acquire
the stock, and Gov. Herrick himself natur-
ally would be in the syndicate.
Mr.. Gould was in conference with Mr..
Hyde and his lawyers in New York last
night. They Were understood to be map

meeting of the directors, in which such a
new move, entirely unannounced before,
would play an important part Winslow S.

accomplished, Gov. Herrick's part in the
transaction need not interfere at all with
his becoming chairman of the board, it was
said. He would be representing large in

man to take office under him to watch the
practical part of the society's business
