ADMIRAL EVANS SMILES.
Is Shown Jap Officers Remarks About
American Naval Men.

New York, July 10.-Rear Admiral
Evans, who is at the Brooklyn navy
yard, has declined TO comment on the
remarks imputed to Admiral Sakamoto
of the Japanese navy to the effect that
American naval officers were dandies
with no technical training and that
the enlisted men had no patriotism
and would desert in case of war.
Admiral Evans smiled when Saka-
moto's remarks we're shown him. He
said it would be the height of impro-
priety for him to reply to a foreign
officer, especially when he had no
means of knowing if he really said
the things attributed to him.

MAKES POSSIBLE
DEAN PLACE SITE
Removal Not Condition
ed on Van Ness Prop
erty Sale.

The board of trustees of the George
Washington University held a meeting
yesterday afternoon. and. while the pur-
chase Of the Dean property, which has
been so extensively published, was gen
orally discussed, the statement is made
that no definite action was taken. The
option which is held up on the property
does not expire until the first OF March,
and there is stu ample time TO make
whatever arrangements would be neces-
sary should 1t be decided TO exercise It
and take the property.
The enthusiasm of many of the trus-
tees over the proposed new site is great
and the probabilities all favor the sue
cessful close Of the negotiations.
a statement published 10 the effect
that the proposed purchase hinges upon
the sale Of the Van Ness Park property,
belonging to the University, is denied
by members of the board OF trustees
who. while. Of course. DESTROYS that the
sale should be made. say that the
change Of location Is entirely an indie
pendent proposition and is in no wise
affected b. the disposal OF their present
holdings
The committee on the purchase OF a
site for the Bureau OF American Repub-
lies, at their meeting yesterday, took no
action respecting a site, although It is
understood they favor the Van Ness
Park tract and will probably decide
upon it, They have been given an op-
ton Of purchase and are studying care
fully the many advantages offered be
fore coming to a decision.
n
purchase, which is, Of course. a matter
10 be carefully considered. the Uniyer-
sity authorities are feeling very con
tident. as they have been quietly and
successfully making a canvass for sew
eral weeks and have been promised am
pie funds for carrying out their plans.
The contributions have been generous
and, on the authority of a trustee. II
can be said that a large gift mas been
made to the university by one individ-
ual. who is unwilling to have his name
mentioned az this time
The information was, however, vouch-
safed that the amount was large one.
and was made by a Washington friend
Of the university.
The plans of the buildings. which had
been approved FOR the Van Ness ParI,
site. could. with slight notifications. be
used on the new site, and work could
be proceeded with at once on the con-
Etruction
The principal building, TO be known
as the Memorial building. will be Of mar
ble' while the others will be of brick and
terra Gotta. There will be seven in all.
consisting OF the Hall OF History, con
tanning the library; a Hall Of Politics
and Diplomacy. the COrcoran Hall of
Philosophy, the Hall of Physics. the
Hall Of Chemistry. and the Alumni Hall.
Ample space will be allowed for dormi-
tories and the rest of the tract will
be given up 10 a campus. which. it is
SAID will be about four acres in extent
The Dean tract comprises nine and one
quarter acres, while the Van Ness Park
tract is about half as much.

REAL ESTATE JOURNAL
SPEAKS WORDS OF WISDOM

1t may be laid down as a safe rule
for the guidance of every careful real
estate broker that a piece of real estate
that must depend upon exaggeration
and misrepresentation to sell. whether
at an inflated or a reasonable Valua-
ton, has more Of the elements of dan
ger in in for the broker than for the
investor The buyer may sustain a
loss which time and thrift can replace
for him. but if the broker loses repute
through the transaction, he las lost that
which is the chief. and sometimes his
only, stock in trade, and once that is
gone. 1t Is forever. Exaggeration. mis-
representation, and downright deception,
whether self-deception. or otherwise
masqueraded under the cloak of op-
tlmlsm' are responsible for many thou

TO ALTER TRUST BANK

The work of preparing plans for the
alterations at Gil Fourteenth street
northwest that will be required for the
purposes OF the United States Trust
Company has been intrusted to
Frank p. MIlburn & Co, architects,
OF this city. who have submitted de-
signs that at once met the approval of
the officials of the institution.
The plans provide for partial new
front TO the present building, and the
interior fittings required for banking
uses These latter will be especially
handsome, being largely of mahogany
and bronze. and will compare favor
ably with the other local banking
houses not especially built for the pur-
pose. 1t is estimated the cost will be
about s.. 500.
