TRIES To SADDLE
LAND FRAUD CASE
UPON THE DISTRICT

Because Representative Mann Of IUi-
nois attempted TO fcrce or the District
the expenditure Of S24.50J. which vas
one-half the cost Of the trial Of the
Hyce Dimond Benson-Schneider land
fraud case, Mr.. Tawney announced on
the floor OF the House today:
Since tie gentleman has made the
point Of order against the paragraph
providing that the Federal Gcvernmen.
shall bear all the expenses OF this ap-
preaching trial, I viii tell him that there
IS no means OF bringing the case to
trial"
M. Mann retorted that NIr. Tawney
could not PUT on his shoulders the re-
sponsibility for the case not coning TO
trial, for he. as chairman OF the .Ap-
preparations Committee. could bring in
deficiency appropriation bill for The
expenses OF the trial at any time he
chose, provided that he made the Dis
tTiCt pay cne-half OF the expenses.
Before Mr. Mann made the point of
order Mr.. Tawney explained that the
land fraud conspiracy with which the
accused are charged was committed on
the Pacific Coast and that It was un-
fair TO saddle on the District an enor-
nous expense for an offense that took
place on the other side of the con-
unent.
M AN4lS9 W-LS JOlAS4 IN TINS posi-
ti0n by Mr.. Needham. OF California.
and Mr.. Livingston, Of Georgia. Mr.
Mann, however. insisted on his point
Of order that the District should pay
the S2A50. Therefore, the case can
not come TO trial unless Mr.. Tawnev
brings In another deficiency bill or an
amendment to the present bill is made
when ii Is considered in the House in
stead Of the Committee OF the Whole.
Mr.. Tawney declares he will not al
low the District taxpayers to be bur
dened with this unnecessary expense.

Russian Warrior Said to

Surrender.
Attitude at Trial Causes
Tone of the Judges

getic.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 3O.-Except
Tor the closing arguments, the trial Of
General Stoessel for surrenderlng Port
Arthur to the japanese. is ended.
Most persons who have watched the
hearing closely think there has been
some kind OF compromise between the
general and the court and officialdom.
When the trial opened it was the gen
eral opinion that StoesseI was doomed
not necessarily because he was guilty.
but because the court thought an ex-
ample ought to be made Of one OF the
generals prominence in the struggle
against the japanese.
Would Expose Department.
In his defense it was openly an
nounced that StoesseI proposed 20 expose
shocking conditions In the war depart
ment TO show that corruption and in
competency had so crippled his force
and equipment that an effective defense
OF Port Arthur was impossible.
The opening testimony here out these
predictions. The military judges seemed
disposed to ride over the defense rough
shOd. StOesseIs questions and answers
indicated a determination TO turn his
heaviest artillery on the war ministery
as soon as he TOOK his turn az the de-
fense.
Suddenly everything changed. Stoessel
is known % have sent an emissaTy 20
the Gar, and the Gar Is known TO have
dispatched his own aide-de-camp to sit
through the trial and furnish him with
a transcript OF all the testimony
Judges Change Tone.
The judges changed their. tone from
the brusque and overhearing almost TO
apology. Stosssel evidently abandoned
his plan 10 attack officialdom.
The general opinion is that the gen
erals threats alarmed the court 50
seriously that It offered immunity to
the accused as the only means Of pre-
venting a tremendous scandal Most
people think the general will be ac-
quilted OF at most. mildly censured.
February has been set for the final
argument OF the case.

Travis and Smith Lots
Bring $350,000 From
Allied Vaudeville
Interests.
About $40 Square Foot
Paid for Frontage on
Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Site.

One Of the most valuable tracts OF
ground in Washington has changed
hands al q sum involving about $3.50. 900,
and within the near future Washington
viii have a new vaudeville theater.
Negotiations have been closed for the
purchase Of the Travis property, be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
and facing on both Pennsylvania avenue
and Z street northwest, by T. B. Chase
lessee Of the theater property at
Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania ave
nue. and other theatrical interests al
lied with the vaudeville firm Of Keith
Because Of the early erection CT Gov
ernment buildings where Chase s Theater
now stands. Mr. Chase has been on the
lookout for a suitable site for a new
Jheatsr.
This is the first large deal in realty
resulting from the acquisition by the
Government OF the square southeast OF
the Treasury.
Many sites for q new theater have
been considered by AIr- Chase. but none
seemed 10 please him so much as one
on the Avenue near where he has been
Tor SO many years. The Travis tract
is little more than a square distant from
Ihe vaudeville house and is ideal for a
Jheater, extending from one thorough
fare to another.
Part Of the land included in the trans
Ter was recently offered at auction to
settle some litigation, but was with
drawn because the prices bid were un-
satisfactory. Twenty dollars a SQUARE
IooI for the land fronting on the Avenue
mas been held out for By the owners
alLhough bids approaching that figure
We're made at the recent auction and
rejected. ..
Edwin H. PiIlsbury has been neeoti-
ating for the Travis property for some
ume, but IL was not until a few davs
ago Ihut the transfer was consuuo-
mated In addition 20 the Travis estate
the new deal takes in the property
owned BY the F. b. Smith Plano COM
pany.
According to the estimated price of
the land, the property facing on Penn
sylvanta avenue has a valuation of 500
a foOt, while that on + street brings
about $40 foot. The Avenue frontage
Is u01 feet, and that on Z street i29
Teet. The property takes in from I213
10 1925, inclusive. on both streets.
The acquisition Of site for a new
tneater by Mr.. Chase and the Keith in
terests IS something which has been
looked forward to for several years. The
Keiths have wanted another house in
Washington. but for a time il looked
would gain control Of the local situa-
ton. The failure of advanced vaude-
Vile" however, put a different aspect
OF the matter, and the new project just
announced is OF wide interest locally
and throughout the Eastern vaudeville
circuit.
Although Mr.. Chase has not made
known his plans, Washington will un-
doubtedly look for the erection OF one
Of the finest theaters in the country.
