NEW YORK, March Ain an open letter
to the New York Times K. H. Hartman
says:
THE statement, like others preceding 1t
during the last FIVE or six years, Is made
for some Interior purpose. To my knowl-
edge the transcontinental lines have taken

Mr.. Harriman's denial that transconti-

brought out in response to a statement
made by John B. Mcdonald. builder of the
New York subway. and president of the
Panama Construction Company. Mr. Nc
Donald, who talked in Augusta Ga. init
mated strongly that the great railroad lines
were the influences responsible for the an

water communication between the Atlantic

FINE RESIDENCE SOLD
EDISON BRADLEY PURCHASES
HUBBARD HOME.

The residence of Mrs. Gardiner G. Hub
bard has been purchased by Mr.. Edison
Bradley of New York city. 1t Is the in
tention of Mr.. Bradley to make important
changes in the house itself, and on the
vacant ground to the south to erect an ad-
dition, in which ample space will be pro-
vided for a Japanese collection of large
proportions which he has made. The
property is located on the triangular point
of land to the south of Dupont circle and
bounded by Connecticut avenue and 18th
street. 1t has wide frontages on both these
thoroughfares. and increases in breadth
toward the south.
The house itself stands upon the point,
and there is considerable space to the
south. AS stated, "a good portion of this
will be occupied by the addition, which Mr.
Bradley will build. The entire appearance
of the house is to be changed, and the
main entrance will be on a level with the
street. The property contains IT, GA square
feet, and the price which is understood to
have been paid is in the neighborhood Of
$40 per square foot, making the aggregate
price about 100000.
In this transaction Mr.. Bradley was rep
resented by Mr.. Frederic May, real estate
broker, and the owner by Fitch. Fox &
Brown, real estate brokers'. The residence
was occupied for a number of years by
the late Gardiner G. Hubbard as his city
residence, in connection with his country
home on Woodley road. Since his death
Mrs. Hubbard has occupied it. 1t was
bought a number of years ago by Mr..
Hubbard, from the late M. w. Gait, who
built the house, and occupied 1t as his
home. 1t is a substantial structure, and
represents type of architecturesof some
years ago. The property is in one of the
conspicuous residence sections of the city.
Another Sale Recorded.
On the opposite side of Dupont circle from
the Hubbard house. and occupying a SINH
lar triangular piece of ground, also
bounded by Connecticut avenue and 10th
street. transaction has recently been
made. involving the transfer of the title to
one of the lots. The lot in question ad-
joins on the north the portion occupying
the point. 1t has a frontage of nearly
thirty-three feet on Connecticut avenue,
and nearly thirty feet on 18th street, and
contains 1,253 square feet.
This lot has been sold j. B. Winner, real
estate broker, for III. w. Cragin, to George
Littell of New York city. The price paid,
according to the deed placed on record, was
$4,000, which is about the rate of $3.50
per square foot. On the basis of the square
foot price paid. this is about the highest
figure ever paid for purely residence prop
erty. The lot, however, is a comparatively
shallow one. having an average depth of
about forty feet. The plans of the new
owner in regard to the future use of the
property have not been announced.

Diversified Farming Pays.

VIM. Moughmer brought in a
bunch of 62 fat porkers Tuesday
from his farm south of town and
sold them to George Stuber for
1925 per hundred. He realized
a nice sum from their sale and it
is easily seen that the farmer
who has a few hogs or cattle, a
couple nice colts, butter and eggs
to market each year besides the
surplus grain he raises is certain
to make farming a success. Di-
versifed farming is found to pay
better each year and hard times
or bad weather can never effect
so severely the farmer who
diversifies his products as it can
the one who depends on straight
crops from year to year.

Blown Up With a Bomb.

Word comes from Baker City,
Oregon, that ex-Sheriff Harry
K. Brown was blown up with a
dynamite bomb at the gate of
his home in that city on Mon
day evening. The explosion
tore one of Browns legs off,
mangled one arm and injured
him internally. He was at once
taken to the hospital and for a
time it was thought he might
recover but death ensued at $3.50
Tuesday afternoon.
Brown was an efficient officer
and was engaged in the Steunen-
berg case for several months.
He was the officer who arrested
Steve Adams, who is now await
ing trial for his crimes, and was
instrumental in tracing Harry
Orchard after the murder Of
Governor Steunenberg.
The murder of Brown was ac-
complished in much the same
manner as that of Steunenberg
and was not unexpected, as the
unfortunate man had said he had
been notified to leave the country
and was positive he was being
followed constantly wherever he
went. From words spoken after
he was injured it is said he laid
the crime to the friends of Steve
Adams and others who were
angry at the part he had taken
in the recent case against the
officers of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners.
Baker City is highly incensed
at the crime and all possible
steps are being taken to discover
the persons who placed and ex-
ploded the bomb.
