MILLIONS FOR SITES
Commissioners Plans to I'M
prove the Avenue.
HEPBURN BILL SUBSTITUTE
s21. 100000 to Pay for All Land
South of Avenue and to BE Ex-
pended at Rate of $4,000, 900
Yearly - Commission Created TO
bargain with Property Owners.

A substitute to the Hepburn bill, pro.
viding for the purchase of the land south
Of Pennsylvania avenue for sites for pub.
lie buildings. was forwarded 20 Congress
yesterday by the Commissioners.
Commissioner Morrow prompted the
substitute measure.
Provisions are contained in the sub
stitute bili for an expenditure of S21. .9O0..
600 for the purpose of acquiring the land
south of Pennsylvania avenue. This price
the Commissioners believe will cover the
cost of the land.
Increase Over Estimates.
Friday last the Commissioners submit
ted an estimate Of the purchase price OF
land required by the Hepburn bill Il
was 100000 less than the estimate con.
tanned in the bill submitted by them yes
terday
The substitute further provides that
during the fiscal year ending June 80
1909. but $3,9OO,oo0 shall be appropriated
for the purpose, the balance 10 be ap-
propriated at the rate of S9,000.000 a year
until a sufficient sum has been appro-
priated to acquire all the l8nd
Senator Heyburn's bill provided an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the purchase
of this land by the United States, the
purchase TO be made by the Secretary Of
the Treasury under the direction of the
President at such prices as might be
agreed upon between the Secretary of the
Treasury and the owners. In event OF
failure to agree, the Attorney General
was directed TO institute condemnation
proceedings 10 acquire the land.
From Citizens Viewpoint.
In forwarding the substitute bill. tht
Commissioners do so as representatives OF
the citizens Of the District of Columbia
who are interested in the ACQUISITION oi
the land for the purpose OF enlarging anC
beautifying the Mall. although the bill
does not provide that they shall have any
duties in the matter as the land is to bt
acquired and paid for by those represent.
ing the United States government
It is believed the method Of acquiring
land proposed in the substitute bin is
much more satisfactory than that pro-
posed in the bill Of Senator Hepburn
The commission created by the substitute
bill would have authority to purchase any
piece or parcel OF land within the area
desired TO be acquired by negotiations
with the property owners direct. It is
probable satisfactory arrangements as tC
the price could in this way be made
The commission would be authorized to
purchase a portion of the land to the
extent Of $9,000,0O0. during the next fsca
year. and the purchase price they obtain

in the bin sent to Congress yesterday,

nation of grade crossings in the city.

BILL MURRAY DEFENDS RIDDLE
Editor Chickasha Express:

Editor Chickasha Express
Guthrie, May n, 1908.
Dear sir: | short while ago read
in the columns of the Journal, your
republican contemporary, the state
ment that DIR. A. S. Riddle, one of the
representatives from Grady county, to
the effect he had sold out the interests
Of Chickasha for the purpose Of Sc
curing membership on the public build
ing committee, and that the deal was
made between him and the speaker of
the house.
Ordinarily | should not reply to
such statement, but as they involve
the integrity and public acts Of Dr.
Riddle, my friend, and who together
with the Hon. r. NJ. johnson, his col
league, has on all occasions, consist
ent with their own convictions of prin-
ciple, assisted in holding up my hands
in the arduous task of putting through
legislation; therefore, l feel that [
need make no excuse in denouncing
the statement as false and known to
be false by the editor who made it..
I apprehend that the statement grew
out Of the claims of a certain Chicka-
sha politician who would not believe
the statements made by DR.. Riddle,
and as detailed by myself to Colonel
O'Neill, to the effect that Chickasha
could not hope to profit by the estab.
lishment Of the institutions placed in
the hands Of the committee. DR.. Rid
die rightly judged the situation when

made to secure a bondsman. In this
he was successful, for Sam Cook came
forward with a spot cash bond Of
$500, and Click was released from GUS

lar appearance bond, for his appear
