by Condemnation Commission.

Testimony concerning the value of the
FIVE squares south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between 18th and 18th streets. which
the government is seeking to acquire,
will be heard as to each square, one
square at time.
The question of the procedure was re-
ferred by the commission to Justice An
derson for decision.
The court held that it was a matter
purely within the discretion Of the COM
mission While refusing to direct
it strongly urged the adoption OF the
square by square mode Of procedure.
The commission will proceed to hear the
testimony of the remaining owners OF
square 23O At the conclusion of that tes-
timony it will call on the government to
furnish such evidence as it may wish in
reference to the value of the parcels in
that square.
This is a victory for the property hold
ers. as the government wished testimony
concerning the value of the five squares

fore it would be required to summon its
experts.

To the government
Mr.. NeWlands' amendment served to
elicit notable speech from Senator
Hale. chairman of the committee on
naval affairs.
He spoke of the great need for adj
ditonal auxiliary ships for the navy
but said they should be provided for
in the naval appropriation bill.
Mr.. Hale said there were with the
American fleet now going around the
world only nine Golfers of our own,
while there were twenty-eight foreign
GOLFERS.
ii there should be war no govern
inent would allow us to use one oil these
Golfers, and without them our mag
nficent fleet would be as useless as a
painted ship ON d painted oceon," he
asserted.
Mr. Hale declared that the American
fleet was the most magnificent and
squadron of ships any ma
ton had ever put on the ocean.
But" he continued. the people do
not realize how helpless this fleet is
without golfers that are not liable to
be called away in a moment of need by
foreign governments
IF there should be even chance of
war, l do not know but that every neu-
trail power represented in these ships
would be compelled to withdraw them
from the fleet and we would be hung
up.
