The condemnation proceedings Of
the United States against tract Of
land known as Belvoir, or the White
House tract. consisting OF fifteen
hundred acres, located in Fairfax
county, below this city, which the
government desires as a site Tor a
District OF Columbia reformatory, were
concluded in the United States Court in
this city, Judge Edmund Waddill pre-
siding, today.
The arguments, begun yesterday
afternoon, we're not concluded until
about one O'Clock today, when the case
was given to the jury. At 80 O'Clock
the jury returned into court, with W.
b. Smithers rs foreman and handed in
their verdict assessing the value OF the
property at $4,000, or 500 per acre.
The government had agreed to pay
$33, 900, or S22 per acre for the land.
Upon the return of the verdict the gov,
eminent moved to set it aside on the
ground that the appraisen,ent had been
placed at too high figure. Judge
Nicol, for his clients, said that while he
thought higher figure should have
been named, he accepted the verdict.
Mr.. Hillyer moved to set aside the
verdict because of the unconstitutlon-
atty OF the proceedings.
Judge Waddill overruled all the mo-
tons and entered an order confirming
the verdict OF the jury. Exceptions
were noted

Twenty-Five owners OF motorboats
operated uponSummit and Long Lakes,
Ohio, we're arrested few days ago and
fined for violation OF the United States

we're not provided with fire extin,
guishers. This omission provides ioI
a fine OF 800, and failure to stop when
four whistles are sounded from gov

Potomac river is increasing steadily,
