he still shows the racial traits Of saw

her repeatedly.
Mrs. Bernard had an interesting

The rash ran together and made large blisters.
The little fellow didn't want to do anythin: but

keep him from 1t. as he would tear the flesh

CITIZENS FORWARD REQUEST.
Ask Promotion for Lieut.. Anderson
and Sergt. Stevens.

Basing the appeal on the ground that
the wishes of citizens should be consid-
cred, S. NJ. Frazier has informed the Dis
trict Commissioners that the residents of
Anacostia desire that Lieut.. w. T. Ander-
son be made captain Of the new Ana
costa precinct and Sergt. c. A. Stevens
the lieutenant.
Can it be that the board of Commits
sioners will remain silent and approve a
recommendation made by the superin-
tendent of police simply because 1t is the
policy of the board to do So and allow
requests of reputable citizens to be en-
tirely ignored?' Mr.. Frazier asks in his
letter 1T is reported that the officers
above mentioned are not to be promoted.
most sincerely trust this report is err
roneous. The people of Anacostia and
vicinity ask for nothing but justice to
men who have served the District of
Columbia faithfully and efficiently for
many years, and if they have not done
SO. may I ask why they are retained in
their responsible positions? And is not our
request entitled to as just consideration as
that of those who are more prominent in
public and official life? To my mind, the
principal argument in favor of the pro-
motion of these men is the fact that their
service has been satisfactory to us and we
infer that the same has been so to the
police department..

DIFFER REGARDING VALUES
GOVERNMENTS EXPERTS AND
OWNERS FAIL TO AGREE.
Commission Hears More Testimony
in Reference to Regent Hotel
and Chase's Theater Sites.

In contrast to the value placed on the
sites of the Regent Hotel and Chase S
Theater by the experts representing the
owners was the value placed on them by
experts in behalf of the government, who
testified late yesterday before the con-
demnation commission for the five squares
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue, the
Mall. 18th and 18th streets.
Experts for the owners few days ago
declared that the Regent Hotel site is
worth $50 to s35 per square foot and that
the site of Chase's Theater is worth $40
to So per square foot. Other witnesses
for the owners, testifying at the same
time. declared that the value of the
Regent Hotel and the building at 142O
Pennsylvania avenue, known In the con-
demnation proceedings as parcel two and
owned by Col. o. G. Staples. is $ss.0oO to
SOS. 900 and that the theater building is
worth about SLIT. 900.
Opinion of E. P. Schwartz.
E. P. Schwartz. a local real estate
broker was a witness on behalf of the
government yesterday afternoon: He
testified that he had sold to the govern
ment three square es in the rear of the bureau
Of engraving and printing and that he sold
the block in the rear of the present post
office; that he has sold other large bust
ness properties and is familiar with other
sales. He placed value of $6 per square
foot on the site of Chase's Theater and
value of $12 per square foot on the site
Of the Regent Hotel He declared tha1
he thought the entire theater property is
worth S25O,OO0 and that the entire Regent
Hotel property is worth about $3OO,oOO-
John Gadsby, another local real estate
operator, testified that In his opinion the
site Of the theater is worth S6 to 81 per
~ Io$4 al cifn
worth $13 to SIS per square foot. Mr..
Gadsby, who was a page in the senate
during the civil war and who carried dis
patches for President Lincoln, testified
that he has been in the business here
about thirty years and Is familiar with
local real estate values.
Assessment and Taxes.
An effort was made by Attorney Nor
gan II. Beach for the government to
place before the commission evidence to
show the amount of assessment and
taxes on the theater property. In the in
structions to the commission the District
Supreme Court said that the assessed
valuation was not to be considered by the
termining the value of the land. Attor-
ney Beach contended, however, that
leases of the theater, which have been
put in evidence, provide for the payment
as rent of a lump sum to the owners
and of the taxes on the property. and
that In order to determine the yearly re-
turn on the property it was necessary
to show what were the taxes. The COM
mission pointed out that II the amount OF
the taxes was shown 1t was a simple
process Of arithmetic to determine the
assessments.
Assessor W. P. Richards was called tc
testify on this point; but the commission
ruled out the testimony and Mr.. Richards
was excused without saying a word.
The commission began another session
at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
