Operations in real estate for the week
closed yesterday were of larger volume
than in recent weeks. Indicative of the
approach of spring and the natural ac-
tivity which attaches thereto. Sales re-
ported by the local brokers cover all
classes of property. and some pieces have
been sold for good figures
Buying residences continues at rate
which would be surprising II the same
conditions had not been noted for more
than two years. There is apparently no
let-up TO the demand for the moderate
priced dwelling. and while they are go
ing up in all parts of the city and suburbs,
the majority of them find owners before
they are finished In a majority of cases
the purchasers occupy them as homes.
Building houses for rental purposes has
been reduced 10 the minimum In WASH
ington, and the new property going Up
is almost exclusively for the families
seeking shelter over their heads.
One of the interesting sales of the week
was the business property at 9O7 C street
northwest, purchased by Dr. Thomas w.
Atkinson for investment purposes. The
lot is a small one. containing only about
COO square feet. but owing to its ad-
vantageous location it brought nearly $50
square foot. The lot is improved by
a three-story building used for Office pur-
poses.

low bed for the cotton and plant the corn
on the level, or if you wish, in slight
depression. In mixing the fertilizer we
would not use nitrate of soda for more
than a part of the nitrogent, because 1t
may possibly be leached from the soil,
and then it would be better to have some
nitrogen in an organic form so it will be-
come more slowly available and supply
the needs of the plants as the season ad-
vances. Cultivate the land shallow and
level and keep the weeds and grass thor
oughly in check. Cultivate after every
RAIN If possible, or at least prevent the
formation of a crust on the surface of
the ground which favors the escape of
moisture. Select your seed with care, as
this will have much to do with the yield
secured.
1t may be we'll to put on 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda as a top dressing later on
in the season for both corn and cotton,
but with five tons of good yard manure
under the rows and the fertilizer combi-
nation suggested, comparatively little
more plant food should be needed in or
der to produce good crops. You must be
the judge yourself as to the advisability
of applying nitrate. II the crop is not
thrifty and vigorous and is yellow in
color and backward then some nitrate
can be used with great advantage. There
is no objection to mixing nitrate of soda
and phosphate together, though we would
not be disposed to put, much nitrate of
soda into the soil, the greater part of it
being reserved and used as a top dressing
after the plants are up 1t may be dis
tributed by hand or with a fertilizer drill
along the Side of the drill row. It should
not be buried in the soil excS9t in an ex-
ceptionally dry spell, and then It should
only be slightly covered. Nitrate of soda
contains its nitrogen in an available form
and the moisture of the soil will quickly
dissolve 1t and bring it within the reach

MAKES RULING ON
WHISKY LICENSES

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 23.-In the opin-
ion of Criminal Court Judge Jesse EGG
ington the possession of federal license
to sell intoxicants is not prina facie evi-
dence that the holder is a violator OF Ten
nessee's prohibition laws. In substance
this was the view expressed by Judge
Edgington to the grand jury which De-
gan actively their labors in his court To-
day.
Unsupported by other proof that the So
called -four mile law was being vioiat-
ed, the fact that a person held a United
States permit to sell liquor would not
warrant an indictment, 1t was held. the
evidence, however. might be regarded as
cumulative or corroborative. Continuing.
he urged that charges made be wen
grounded.

ing indictments is not only unnecessary.

WILL LICENSE
SWEETS PLACE
TO RIGHT MAN

Members of the Board of Excise
Commissioners met in regular COM
mittee session last night and dis
cussed most Of the applications to be
acted upon on July II.
According to the present stand of
majority of the commissioners, a
license will not be granted to Morris
Judas, in Ezra T. Sweets old place,
at the next meeting, owing to the
fact that he has been termed an un-
desirable man for the place. While
it is almost positive fact that Ju-
das's application will be refused,
some members OF the board want to
see a good respectable hotel keep
er in Sweets old place. One of the
leading commissioners said today,
that the thirty-day part of the
boards rules, which makes the ap-
plication an old or now one, would
receive no consideration and inferred
license to vend liquors would be
granted at any time to the proper
man.
Some of the commissioners feel
that the city is in need of another
hotel and they want to see a first
class place here, being willing to do
all in their power to encourage the
opening of one. The bar room win
be of secondary consideration, so
long as the proprietor is a respon-
sible and respectable man, and he
alone will lease or buy and run the
place. No concert hall must be run
and proof must be given that the
former proprietor has nothing what
ever to do with the license.

mencement of the half holiday served
chiefly to permit the hundreds Of thou
sands of workers to delay their home
ward trips to witness the triumph Of
Roosevelt as the procession passed up
Broadway, under the Washington arch
and up Fifth avenue through ranks of
cheering political and business and so
cial organizations
Despite the early hour thousands of
sightseers-me women and children
were at the Battery by 5 o'clock this
morning. The reason was twofold.
They wanted to see the departure of
the 1otilla OF steamers as 1t started
down the bay for quarantine, and they
had hopes they would beat the police
to positions Of vantage around the
stand of welcome. The latter was
vain quest, for hundreds of bluecoats
surrounded the platforms and ada
cent space reserved for the reception
committee.
1t was hurried embarkation Of the
welcomers not only at the Battery,
but at mare than hundred piers on
the Hudson and East rivers, for the
rendezvous was set for the Narrows,
connecting the upper and lower bays,
FOR $50 a. m. The sun tried to dispel
clouds suggestive of moisture, and the
light glinted on gayly decorated craft

The time of transferral of the Roose-

for 8 o'clock, and 1t was about half
an hour before that the huge KaiseriI
Auguste Victoria was seen threading
her way up the Ambrose channel, the
decks filed with passengers, who
waved greetings to the hundreds Of
smaller craft that surrounded her.
AS the steamer passed the din Of
welcome began. The guns of Fort
Wadsworth on the Staten Island side
of the NaTrows doomed their greeting,
and the artillery of Fort Hamilton on
Long Island echoed noisiIy. Every
whistle Of the flotilla shrieked in rival
ry as the steamer dropped anchor or

The din was at its height when the
Roosevelt party was espied on the up

ly waving his hat to friends on the

English that reflected credit upon
Miss Aneckstein. She took as her
theme the women of the Illiad, wives

Miss Aneckstein cited the instance OF
Penelope, wife of Archilles, who, al
though her husband had been absent
from her many years, refused to
marry, believing that he would re-
turn. In his absence she wove
tapestry, swearing that she would
not be welded again until it was
finished, and each night she unrav-
eled what she had woven during the
day that the tapestry might never be
completed.

enty young people are out making
collections and up to noon, approx
mately $3.50 had been received. The

this year. They are securing every

one go untagged. Contributions
range from ten to twenty-five cents
any many Of the dollar tags had
been disposed of up to noon.
Indications are that the days pro-

which is much bored for donations,

to so worthy an institution, as the
