OBJECTIONS TO THE LOCATION
sCHooLHoUsE ON WISCONSIN
AVENUE OPPOSED.
Of Cleveland Park Do Not
Like the Site Suggested for New
Building in Neighborhood.

Objections to placing on Wisconsin ave-
nue. the new Cleveland Park school. for
which there were appropriations In the
last District act are pouring in to the
District Commissioners from residents
OF that section.
Understanding that there is move on
foot to obtain site to build a public
school for the accommodation of the resi-
dents of Cleveland Park says B. s. Rob
inson of 1901 Macomb street, Il wish to
enter strong protest against one site
that has been offered for that purpose.
viz: the one on Wisconsin avenue and
Macomb street. There, are several good
and sufficient reasons why the above men
toned site is wholly unsuitable for school
purposes. First, its locality on much
travelled and trolley road: second, the
noise made by the horns of motorists
and changing Of bells of the cars
would distract teachers and divert the
pupils-very much to the decentralization
of both: third. and most important. the
rush always made by the children when
school Is out would be attended with
some if not great deal of danger on
such Travelled thoroughfare; fourth the
site is not in Cleveland Park and the resi-
dents thereof want the school in the
park"
In order that the convenience Of the
patrons may be properly conserved" says
w. Y. Griffin. II hope it cleveland Park
SCHOOL, will be placed somewhere near the
center, or, in other wards, at about an
equal distance between the two street
car tracks, the Rockville line and the
Chevy Chase line. The property offered
for the school building on Wisconsin ave-
nue. near Woodley road is entirely out of
place and might just as well be located
in Tenleytown or Georgetown so far as
great number and perhaps majority OF
the patrons are concerned.

SENT TO HOSPITAL.
Inquiry to Be Made Into Clerks
Mental Condition.

J. Edward Wagner, clerk in the War
Department, was before Judge Kimball
yesterday charged with vagrancy. and
because OF his peculiar actions was re-
manded to the workhouse hospital pend
ing an examination into his mental con-
dition. 1t was stated that Wagner was
found in q box car on a railroad siding
near st. Vincents Asylum Friday aft
ernoon, apparently in a dazed condition.
and when he failed to give a good ac-
count Of himself was locked up.
Later. 1t was stated, the man told the
police that he had received letter from
a young woman in Monterey, New Mexico,
the contents Of which he refused to re-
veal. but which. he said. was respon-
sible for his condition because Of worry.
Continued questioning Of Wagner failed
to bring to light the nature Of the letter
or any OF its details.
Wagner's manner on the witness stand
indicated that he was suffering men
tally. most Of his answers being in
monosyllables. except when he was ex-
planning the cause of his presence in tho
box car. A great deal Of sympathy was
expressed for him by those in the court
room who heard his story, and during
the time he remained in the Police
Court building until his removal to the
workhouse hospital he was looked after
by Agent Massie of the Prisoners Aid
Society. Wagner gave his address as

BUSINESS PROPERTY SOLD.
Mr.. Ne1igan Buys Building on 14th
Street Near u.

Some changes In property on the west
side OF 14th street just north OF U street
have been made which will prove of in
terest to those who are familiar with that
locality and its recent marked develop
ment into a business section. During the
past week Dwight Anderson. real estate
broker. has sold No. 2O1O 14th street
northwest to Patrick F. Neligan- The
building consists OF three stories and eel
lar with large store on first floor with
dwelling apartments above.
The lot has a frontage Of 20 feet and a
depth Of 13S feet. containing 2.770 square
feet Of land.
The price Of the property was $1,000
representing valuation of $3.50 per
square foot, including improvements.
South of the above mentioned property
is 2eO2. which the owner. H. E. Sands. is
having remodeled. There is also to be a
ed for use for business purposes.
The adjoining building. 1904, is also to
be remodeled and modernized according
to plans which have been approved by
the owner. AeneaS Collins.
The explanation of the creation of a
new business section at this point lies in
the change which has taken place there
and which has made 1t a center for the
distribution of much of the travel that
passes over the lines of the Capital Trac-
'tion Company The new line to the
Union station as well as the one that is
being built TO the cast of the Capitol
adds to the tide OF travel that passes
through this point.
