CRESCENT CITY CARNIVAL
New Orleans Celebration Marked by
Gorgeous Pageant.

Gorgeous Pageant.
New Orleans.-A glorious period of
revelry was brought to close at
midnight Tuesday, when the curtain
fell on the Mardi Gras festivities Of
1911. Comus, the god of pleasure,
delighted the thousands of people who
lined Canal and St Charles streets
with a series of twenty brilliant tab
leaux, depicting familiar quotations. 7
The carnival spirit ruled the city
throughout the day. The streets were
crowded with jolly maskers, business
was suspended, and New Orleans and
her thousands of visitors turned out
to frolic. Even the Gay Shattuck law
was temporarily suspended, and the
ladies shared with the men the privi-

other famous beverages right from

BUSINESS PROPERTY
BRINGS ADVANCED PRICE
Third Sale in Three Years of
8O2 K Street Shows $1,000
Increase in Value.

One Of the important transactions in
local realty during the week was the
sale by Willige, Gibbs & Daniel, real
estate brokers. Of the business prop
erty at 802 X street northwest, the
sale being made for the owner. Louis
Auerbach Of New York. This property.
which is directly opposite the Public
Library, is improved by a four STORY
brick building. with a furniture store
on the first floor and modern three and
four room apartments on the upper
floors. It occupies a lot twenty three
feet wide and one hundred and five
feet deep, with a fifteen-foot alley in
the rear. 1t is understood that $4,000
was paid for the property. a promi
nent 7th street merchant purchasing it
as an investment
This particular transaction serves
well to illustrate the marked advance
in realty values in this section Of the
Capital City, since the same property
has been sold three times in as many
years. each time by the same brokers.

at a material advance on the former
price. In the first instance. three
years ago, 802 X street brought only
$4,000, but a short time later 1T was
again placed on the market and it
found a ready sale at $2S.500. A still
further advance of $4,000 in value is
indicated by the present sale. since 1t
was made at a price Of $4,000

POINT TO
ACTIVE MARKET IN SPRING
Demand for Investment Property Brings
Optimism in Its Wake-Out-of- Town
Buyers Seek Local Apartments.

With the opening of the spring buying
and selling season now almost In sight,
local real estate brokers are inclined to
a strong feeling of optimism. since they
declare all present indications point to. an
era of active business. Much encourage
ment is in evidence even now because an
unusually large number of inquiries are
being received for investment properties.
To experienced observers of market con-
ditons the demand for real estate of this
character, when it is in evidence during
the late winter months, is almost invaria-
bly, the forerunner of busy spring sea-
| son.
The demand which is now making it
| self felt is largely for the smaller resi-
| dence properties which yield excellent re-
| turns upon the amount of capital invest
ed, and the brokers have taken this as
/ an indica ton that confidence IS rapidly
! being restored and that the public gen.
orally is seeking the real estate market
as an outlet for its savings. During the
past autumn and winter a major portion
of the time and energy of the dealers has
been devoted TO satisfying the wants OF
home buyers. but it is said the market
now gives every indication of taking on
different phase Not that home buy
ing is expected to decrease in volume
but home buying always finds its inspira-
ton from vastly different source than
does the purchasing of property for in
vestment purposes.
In the former case the man or the
family is led to make a purchase largely
from sentimental or some other self-Satis-
flying reason. Mr.. and Mrs. NeWlywed
may be seeking their first home. or Mr..
| and Mrs Longerwed may have just
reached the point where they feel tat
| their savings justify them in owning a
| home of their very own. And in either
| of these cases the brokers are called upon
| to satisfy the desires of their clients for
Reasons for Prophecy.
1t is because the demand at the present
time is radically different from this home
seeking sort that close observers are led
to prophesy an active market in the
spring. Property is being sought more on
account of it's paying qualities than for
its more esthetic special location"
Builders, too, are feeling the pulse Of the
community, and they are preparing for
a booming business as soon as the winter
is ended. During the past year the ratio
of increase in new building was material
ly less than it was III the years imme-
diately preceding, and as a result the de-
mand for new houses has practically eX-
hausted the supply Consequently the
| speculative builders are seeking options
| on land which they believe will be in the
| line or the further DEVELOPMENT Of the
| city, and before the frost is well out of
| the ground it is practically assured that

Apartments Find Ready Sale.

In any event many apartment houses
have found ready sale as soon as they
were placed on the market, and this Is
one of the best Indications, not only that
real estate generally is on the boom, but
that the apartment houses themselves
have shown good incomes from rentals.
wherefore their appeal to investors, both
actual and prospective.
/. Still another encouraging condition of
the present time is the strength of the
market with regard to business proper
ties. Many investments of the larger
class are being made. Again, there is
much trading Of property which is de-
sirable for business purposes, and trans
actions of this character afford the best
index of the favorable condition of the
market. since they almost invariably
mean the impending expenditure of con-
siderable amounts of money, one or the
other party to each trade usually having
settled purpose to rebuild or improve
or otherwise develop his new holding.
Several trades of large properties have
been announced within the past few
weeks. and in nearly every instance a
block of property in the downtown bust
ness section figured in the transaction.

scores Of rows of new houses will be in
course OF construction.
One Of the surprising features of the
realty market for months past has been
the steady demand for apartment house
properties. Out-of-town investors in par
ticular seem to have a settled conviction
that Washington real estate offers excel
lent opportunities for placing their money.
and it is among this class of buyers that
the apartment houses have had their
strongest appeal. For seasons almost in
Vulnerable the pessinnistically inclined
have declared it their opinion that the
city was being overbuilt in its apart
ments, but the renting departments of the
different big real estate offices have had
comparatively little difficulty in finding
tenants for all desirable apartments as
rapidly as the buildings have been COM
pleted. In a word the steady growth in
the population of the city has been suf-
ficent to take up all of the additional
housing room and since the building, sell
ing and renting of houses also has con-
tinued unabated, it is evident that the in
crease in the number of apartment house
jewellers has been only relative to the
increase in pOp1IlatiOn

WOMAN TRIES To
SHOOT DOWN MAN
IN MYSTERY CASE
Fires Four Shots at Him in
StOre-BOth Then
Disappear.

A mysterious woman for whom half
dozen policemen of the Second pre-
cinct station and several plainclothes-
men are searching fired four shots
from revolver at a man whose identity
has not been established in the butcher
store of Antonio Felicio, 10 Garside
street, today
Whether any of the bullets struck
the man is not known. Both disap-
peared during the excitement immedi-
ately following the shooting.
One of he bullets crashed through the
transom of the butcher shop and was
found buried in the clapboards of the
house on the opposite side of the street.
No trace of the other bullets has been
found and this leads the police to be-
lieve that the mysterious man was
struck.
Following the firing of the shots the
neighborhood was in a fever of excite
ment. A crowd of more than three hum
dred greatly agitated women gathered
In front of the store The throng was
so great that the butcher feared the
store would be stampeded and locked
, the doors. A hurry call was sent the
police of the Second Precinct. None in
the crowd could describe either the man
or woman
According to Felicio, the woman had
been In his store several times, but he
does not know who she is nor where she
lives. When she entered the store to-
day she asked for a small steak. While
the butcher was wrapping it up the
strange man entered
May I speak to you?" he asked the
woman
IT am too busy now" she replied.
That she was well acquainted with
the man was evident by their greeting.
But / must talk to you right now"
replied the man
Then you must come home with me.
You can talk while do the cooking. y
The man advanced toward her. Ac-
cording to the butcher, she drew a
revolver from the folds of her skirt.
She aimed IL at the man and pulled
the trigger twice in rapid succession.
lie retreated several steps. Before she
could again fire Felicio leaped over the
counter. just as she was about to
again pun the trigger he caught her
arm. She succeeded in firing twice,
but the bullets took an upward
course.

|Rv|NCTON WILL
PROTEST ELECTION
ON WALSH ACT
Voters Claim IIlegalities-Rah-
way Rejects Rule by
Commission.

Although the commission form Of
government plan was carried at the
special election in lrvington yesterday
by a majority of 70 and an excess of
nine votes over the required 80 per
cent of the votes cast at the previous
election, the legality of the election will
probably be tested.
The vote on the question was taken
on the regular primary ballot on which
the question as to the adoption or re-
lection of the measure appeared at the
bottom Many voters appeared at the
polls for the purpose of voting on the
commission form of government ques-
tion. They were informed by the cleo
tion board clerks that in order to vote
on that question they would also have
to vote q primary ticket and declare
their party allegiance. Many protested
and left the polls without voting.
1t is held today by many citizens
that the refusal of a separate ballot
for the vote on the special election
question was equivalent to disfran-
chisement and that the election is
illegal. City Counsel James r. Nugent
and j IN r. Hardin, who have been
interviewed have declared, it is re-
ported, that the election held yester-
day on this question was Illegal. Action
will probably be taken today by the
mayor and councilmen in the matter.
The results by wards were as fol-
lows: First ward, for 207, against 175;
Second ward, for $50, against 159; Third
ward for 25S. against 211 total, for $40,
against 545.
The primary election was quiet. The
surprising features were the defeat of
Councilman Frederick Eckelhofer, who
was seeking a denomination in the
First ward, by the Progressive Re-
publican, Louis G. Breitenbach, and
the GOOD showing made by Elmer e.
FRANKIE, jr., who carried the three dis
tricts in the First ward against his
Democratic rival, John Wassmer.
Breltenbach won out by IA votes and
FRANKIE defeated Wassmer by 30 votes.
George III. Woolley, Regular, beat
Frederick j. Jacob, Progressive, in the
Second ward and Charles Hartkopf
won out over his two opponents, Henry
P. Bedford and Max A. Ern, in the
Third ward. The regular Democratic
and Republican candidates for sheriff,
freeholders and the legislature won
by good majorities.
