New York, Aug 16.-When the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. was nearing Sandy
Hook Anna Held participated in a con-
cert which was given in the salon and
did skirt dance which gave offense
to several clergymen on board.
After Miss Held had lifted her toes
for a few moments the ministers left

hibition Miss Held called It the Mat

The clergymen did not officially pro
test to Captain Nierich and the cap

matter until the concert was practical

People After Homes.
Mr.. Elliott of the Shawnee agency:
It is our experience that homes are
more sought after than investment
properties. There are very few avail
able rental properties in the city, and
vacant lots are very scarce within the
city limits
Although many people are out of
the city during the hot weather, both
buyers and sellers, the business Is very
good for this season. It Will begin to
increase before the last of August, and
inquiries concerning home properties
are coming in daily. The indications
are favorable to a large fall trade in
city real estate"
Mr.. Anderson of the firm of Gillette
& Gillette. Business is not so slow
with US We are so busy right now
that I must stay in the Office waiting
for another member of the firm, while
should be out showing some College
Hill lots to a prospective purchaser.
Our largest business at present is
IN close IN farms. We have sold sew
eral farms, all within six miles of the
city, during the past few days. These
farmers seem to be selling out with
view of moving into town, and have no
trouble in disposing of their farms at
their own figures. They will expert
ence more difficulty in securing what
they want in the city, which is becom-
ing we'll filed, and vacant lots are at a
premium"
Mr.. w. NJ. Levitt of Lovitt & Son:
"Our trade points to College Hill,
Highland Park and other additions as
the coming cheap home districts. The
trade pushes toward the suburbs be-
cause the inside properties are too
high for the average homeseeker The
prospects are good-could not be bet
ter-for the fall real estate business,
although the for sale lists are grow
ing smaller. I think new additions will
be opened and readily sold out before
winter"
Mr. Pratt of the Globe Realty COM
pany: THE demand is for small prop
critics at from $1,000 to $1,000. This
kind of property is remarkab bly, scarce.
Workingmen. who have been renting
for years, are demanding homes of
their own. They can not buy the houses
they are living in, because they are
too much of a good thing for the
owners, who could not invest their
cash value in anything better.
Small two and three acre chicken
farm tracts in the suburbs are in de-
mand, but hard TO get. as the holders
realize their coming value as lots, and
have no desire to sell in patch es.''
A number of other real estate deal
ers were interviewed and expressed the
same opinions, namely. that the de-
mand for Topeka homes is increasing
and viii continue to increase, and that
suburbs will build UP within the next
few months.
Many of the present real estate
firms are new in the business, but all
seem prosperous and confident of an
extensive trade. There is a struggle
among them for options on the few de-
sirable inside lots which are ready
sellers and sure commissions.
