THE RIGHT VIEW.

Some comment is made on the Hus'-
Ter meeting to the effect that it was
not as big a business producer as was
anticipated; and il is undoubtedly true
ahat rot a few who subscribed liberal

on a large scale to meet the expected
demand for accommodations, etc. did
ros come out whole on The transac-
ton.
But this is hardly the proper view
10 take OF the affair. Profit is locked
for. OF course. and money profi, too.
but our first consideration should be
that we gain for our city aud for our
people the good opinion and good
will of our visitors. This is much and
Il should be sufficient. for the time be

MARTIN BROS. RECEIVERS SUED
Myriek II. DooIittIe Asks Court 20
Restrain ON Two Notes.

Myrick II. DoOiittie yesterday entered
suit against Thomas R. Martin. Lee r.
Martin. Guy h. Johnson, Joseph D. Suin-
van, and the American National Bank.
and asked the court 10 pass an order re-
straining the receivers of the bankrupt
estate OF Martin Brothers from in any
manner disposing Of two notes held by
the latter's receivers in trust for the com
plainant
II is alleged by DJolittle that in JaHu-
ary 1896 ne completed arrangements with
Martin Brothers to purchase for one Har-
riet Y. b. Turner a certain piece Of real
estate property, the price agreed upon be-
ing 81 go ID Is further stated that the
purchaser gave her note for 800 secured
by a deed Of trust on the property de-
scribed. payable 10 the order of Thomas
a. Martin I'm three years with interest at
8 per cent, and also note for 500. DOolit-
tie claims that the 500 note has been paid
in part and that only sisS. IS remains TO be
paid thereon. and that this note is held
by the American National Bank. He fur
ther says that the $50 note IS held by
the receivers for Martin Brothers in trust.
Doolittle asks the court 10 pass an
order restraining the receivers from IN
any manner disposing Of the $3.50 note
and restraining the American National
Bank from disposiog of the S1SSs5 note,
OF enforcing collections, pending final dis
position of this sGf. and upon final hear

EXPECTS ACTIVE BUSINESS.
Frank 4. Harrison Reports Sales
and Orders TO Purchase.

Frank A. Harrison. Of the Harrison
/ Realty Company. reports an active spring
/ business, both in actual sales made
orders 10 purchase. and deposits made
for properties not yet transferred. The
company is dealing almost exclusively in
business and investment realty and has
established large eIentage among in
vestors. The sales of Louisiana avenue.
Fourteenth street, and f street properties
has produced orders from new clients for
purchasers in the downtown section, as
well as the Fourteenth street district.
The increase in values in the business
part of tlse city Mr.. Harrison thinks viii
be continued and rents to conform with
these values will be raised He is in
formed that on the thoroughfares OF
Pittsburg. St Louis. and Buffalo rents
are very much higher than they are here
for similar locations. and the merchants
do not have as wealthy buying public
as we have.
To encourage outside investors. Mr.
Harrison thinks advantages of our form
of government should be made known. as
IN some OF the nearby cities the holder
of realty pays taxes much in excess Of
what they should be. and have regulations
enforced upon them that are unknown
here. For instance. a. New York client
says that he was forced to erect a Ger
tain kind of fire escape for a twO-story
and basement building; the owner, not
residing on the premises, was forced to
purchase certain make Of refuse can for
his tenants. and while these demands
may appear small. they indicate how lit
tie the owners interests are considered.
and how unjust they would appear TO
District owner An item that shows how
well the District is thought of by the
money-loaning interests of that solid old
city or Philadelphia was made apparent
during the past week, when Mr. Harri-
sons company wrote to Philadelphia for
a large loan ON A first trust at Az per
cent, and was informed that while they
we're getting 6 per cent in Philadelphia
for money, they would be willing TO con-
slider the District loan for 5la per cent
An omer was made Mr.. Harrison last
month to incorporate the Harrison
Realty Company, and one of the clients
who suggested it said he would put 5000
into the business, this idea is being con-
sidered. but only from the standpoint of
close corporation, to consist of those
connected with the business and not more
than two outside interests.
The Harrison Realty Company's office
is the correspondent for the National
Finance. of Chicago, issued monthly in
the interests of finance and real estate,
and the letter sent each month relates
TO the District of Columbia. its real estate
and other advantages. IN connection with
this letter. Mr.. Harrison would be pleased
to receive from his brother agents and
others interested any items that would
be of value TO the District generally.
Inquiries from the West and South are
being made from the readers of the
National Finance showing that the out
side is awakening to our city and It's
many advantages.
