Upon direction Of the President, who ap-
proved his recommendation. Secretary of
War Taft yesterday notified Provisional
GOV. Nagooa Of Cuba 70 close the option
on certain property owned by the Roman
Catholic Church in Havana The option
expires June 80.
A message was received from Gov. Ma
COON last night stating that the property
would be taken over.
The properties include the custom

institute. valued at %3l,CC0. Academy of
Sciences, valued at $4,000. a house In
ObrapIa street, valued at S15.C0l and a
house in Cardeuas street, valued at $3.50.
making a total Of 81, l1g,55l, less rent. "
Sl1O.9oL31
The options on these properties were
taken out during the first American Uccu-
patton, and have been extended. Secretary
Taft, owing 10 charges that the price
asked was excessive, endeavOred to Sc
cure a further extension Of two years
but the apostolic delegate refused, be
cause Sir William Redding stood ready
to take over the property for the United
Fruit Company and a line Of steamships
at the original figures.
In his letter 10 the President, made
public last night, the Secretary states
that a careful investigation shows the
price asked not to be excessive. He
points out the absolute necessity Of the
purchase by reason of the wharfage
front rights. For this reason, the trans
fer cannot be left to the new Cuban
republic for disposition.

began at home.
The town council met last night and Of
fered resolutions inscribed for the direct
benefit Of Marshal Collins, IN some par
ticulars, and for the industrious Sheriff
Emery, in others. Il was resolved that
it is highly improper for Collins to ex-
hibit his shooting irons in any other vi
cinity save that Of Glen Echo unless he
is on duty bent, and particularly not
when he is leading a victorious baseball
nine or mingling with railroad men.
It was further resolved that Collins at
tend more strictly 70 the automobile bust
ness. and not to rival the attractions at
Glen Echo Park By frequent promenades
through its wooded midst. Likewise he
was told that he was not an actor, and
that his Office made no provision for his
trionic talent.
The raid at Glen Echo was denounced
by the councIlmen as unjust and Sheriff
Emery came in for no small share Of crit
iclsm. Glen Echo Park was promised a
square deal and it was minated strongly
that the recent attack made on the park
was due TO a malicious desire on the part
Of some individuals to wTeak spite on the
managers. In the future no arrests will
be made unless the specific charges are
substGntiated beforehand
The saddest blow Of ALL however. was
the refusal of the council to pay the bill
subsequent TO the raid. Although the
town of Glen Echo is debtor 70 Collins
and Emery for seventy-four warrants at
IS cents and twenty summonses at 40
cents. there is little prospect that the
money will be paid over In fact. the
councilmen said last night that a lawsuit
was the only thing that would cause
them to come across.

to the attention Of Secretary OF War Taft
and TO the attention Of Congress. if it is
deemed that Congressional action is
necessary.
Representative Meyer mentioned the
matter to the Secretary Of War yester-
day in an informal way, but no action
was taken.
Cabin John Bridge was built by army
engineers. and its construction begun
when jefferson Davis was Secretary Of
War. The arch was then the longest IN

in this country. II is surpassed, how
ever. by two foreign bridges since con-

The name Of jefferson Davis was chisel-

rebellion, the name was effaced by order
