DEMAND FOR HOMES
Recent Sales Attract Attention
in Realty Circles.
SUCCESS OF c. E.. WIRE
Five of Twelve Three-Story Houses
Sold Before Foundations
Are Built.

The experience of Charles Il. Wire in
the sale of houses which he is now
building on Webster street between 14th
and 10th streets is attracting some at
tention in real estate circles. 1t is be-
cause he sold five of the twelve before
he had finished digging for the founda
lions. The houses are three stories, and
contain nine rooms, and the rapidity with
which they have been sold is attributed
not so much to any change in market
conditions as to the fact that there is a
steady demand for homes.
A large number of houses are to be
built by Harry Wardman in the vicinity
of Rhode Island avenue between North
Capitol and I'd street northeast. The
new section is really an extension of the
Bloomingdale district, which comprises
all of the territory along LIST street north
west and North Capitol street. The OPEN
ing up of Rhode Island avenue east of
Lincoln avenue North Capitol street
has brought into the market good deal
of land which is evidently to be built up
in much the same fashion as the region
to the west
A number of houses are being erected
on Kilbourne street between 18th and 18th
streets northwest by Cahill & Huntington
which are in keeping with the character
section of the city.
Demand for New Houses.
1t is quite evident from observation as
we'll as from a knowledge of the records
of the building inspectors office that the
tide of building as far as houses is con-
cerned is fairly full. 1t Is thought by
those most familiar with market condi-
tons that what is being done in the way
of adding to the number of new houses
is largely governed by the existing de-
mand. In other words, it is not thought
that those who are building are ignorant
Of the capacity of the market, but that,
on the contrary, they are fully aware OF
conditions and are adjusting the extent
of their enterprises to suit them.
There is no apprehension felt that the
market els liable to be overbuilt as the
result of the activities of the present
season. Builders are not doing all they
can, but only as much as in their JudS-
ment the state of the market warrants
and the existing demand justifies. There
is a similar clearness of mind shown in
regard to the apartment house situation,
and in consequence the amount OF build
ing of that class has lessened.
A notable feature Of the realty market
at this time is the interest displayed in
two classes Of property which represent
widely different phases of development of
a population center. One is the demand
fer property in the business section of the
city, and the other is the demand for
building sites in the newly opened up sec
tons of the suburbs. An illustration OF
the latter is to be found in the selling
sachusetts Avenue Heights. along Con-
necticut avenue and out 14th street, where
the Shepherd property is being laid out
in building lots.

IRv the Asaoclated Press !

London. Sept. 23-The result OF the Cana
dian election has put great heart In the
tariff reform movement here, and has been
received by the Unionist newspapers and
Unionlsts generally with great enthusiasm.
Joseph Chamberlain's comment was:
II congratulate the Canadians on their
reputation of the reciprocity agreement.
Tho victory in favor OF imperial preference
is most satisfactory"
Frederick +. Smith, one Of the Unionlst
members of Parliament for Liverpool says
Canada's example will be of immense en-
couragement TO the tariff reformers here
and a corresponding rebuff to the free
traders. while Lord Willoushby de Broke
expresses his delight that Canada has not
forgotten the old country.
Andrew Bonar Law. Unionist member OF
Parliament for South London constit-
uency believes the result of the election
will hasten the triumph Of imperial pref
erenCe.
Niscount Ridley, who was secretary 20
Lord Aberdeen when he was Governor
General of Canada, says:
The door bolted and barred by Premier
Asquith has been flung open again by
Canada. The tariff reformers will work
with renewed vigor and with certainty OF
success"

EXPANDS FREE PAPER ZONE
Now Includes All Favored Ma
tions. John Norris Says.

Washington, Sept 2.-John Norris chair
man of the committee on paper of the
American Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton. issued a statement to-day saying that
tte defeat Of the reciprocity agreement IN
Canada has expanded the free zone for
rups and paper so as to include all the
favored nations. His statement follows;
Cansda's rejection of reciprocity raises
question with respect TO the favored nauon
treaties that is unique. lnllke the items

lion ineffective, out IL will not impair

he nulliied except by repeating act OF

highly improbable.

[By Cable 70 The Tribune. !

London, Sept. 23.-Most people here
had anticipated the success Of Sir Will
frid Laurler with a reduced majority,
and not even the most ardent tariff re-
formers had looked for such an over
whelming vote against reciprocity as the
results showed.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails In all
Unionst clubs, while the Liberals make
a poor attempt TO conceal their chagrin.
The tariff reform party is confident
that the Canadian elections will give a
badly needed flip to its own cause in
the United Kingdom.
The Unionist newspapers are jubilant,
and compare Lauriers downfall with the
Rule in 1886, while Liberal newspapers,
which are frankly astounded by the re-
suit, draw comparison with the
Unionist debacle in 1906.

Montreal. Sept. 22.-That popular post

fascinated all Canada to-day. Reciprocity

three-inch type. beneath which, in a car

Forces" with the drawn sword OF 10y

BY a patriotic coalition Of Conservatives
and Liberals determined that the dream OF

Another paper, displaying the severed
heads Of the eight defeated Laurier minis

pENRoSE'S VIEW OF RESULT
Fear of Annexation Caused Canada to
Reject Reciprocity.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 22.-Fear on the part
Of Canadians that reciprocity would prove
the entering wedge for annexation to the
United states was the principal reason for
the landslide against the trade compact,
I'm the opinion Of United States Senator
Fenrose, chairman OF the Senate Finance
Committee He said:
The principal reason for the rejection Of
The measure was the fear OF future absorp-
tion OF Canada bv the United states. Dur
ing the closing days Of the discussion in
Congress there we're reports In Washing
ton that there was strong opposition among
the pcople in Canada against reciprocity.
IL was intlmated that the "bugaboo OF
probable annexation was having decided
fleet upon the pecSle's minds. but moth
ing suficlently definite vas learned even
10 warrant a strong suspicion that the
measure would be ultimately rejected:
There is strong national and Imperial
sentiment In Canada, and very naturally
so: therefore, talk Of annexation was
bound 10 have it's effect.
e7nator Penrose expressed tho opinion
that the rejection Of reciprocity would have
no effect on the political situation in the
United States.

CLARK BLAMES PRESIDENT
But Thinks Reciprocity's Defeat Was
Chiefly Due to Corruption Funds.

Nashville. Tenn. Sept. 22.-Champ Clark,
who arrived here to-day TO attend the
Tennessee State Fair, was asked II his
supposed humorous remarks about annex
alton had not aided in defeating reciproc-
ity by Canada yesterday. lie replied:
Ny remarks about annexation did not
do half as much 10 defeat reciprocity IN
Canada as did President Tafts speech, In
which he insisted on hurrylng up agreeing
10 reciprocity in this country before Great
Britain could establish her imperial policy
ot tariff with preferential rates for the
colonies.
lie and / were both quoted by the anti
reciprocity crowd in Canada, he more than

half so much 10 do with defeating recip-

Thinks Annexation Bogie LED Canada
TO Reject Reciprocity.

Boston, Sept. 22.-In commenting on the

duced the original reciprocity bill in Con-
gress, said to-day:
With the great railroads, the manufsct-
lrers and the commercial and financial
classes and powerful interests on this side
Of the border opposing reciprocity. and
with the help OF Mr.. Rudyard kipling, and
his warning that an increase OF commerce

that Canada retained possession OF her
soil.

Judge Lindsey, "The Chill

service the first few months.
His first work was against
Jury 6xers" and he secured
a law that three-fourtl1s of
the jury should decide a case.
His attention was first
brought to the realization of
the juvenile problem by some
children being brought to
him who had robbed a pigeon
roost. He remembered hav-
ing been in a scheme to rob
that same roost fifteen years
before, and he realized how
serious his decision might be.
Needless to say that decision

that have made his name

Senator Thomas p. Gore.
He is the first senator from
the new state of Oklahoma
and a most brilliant orator.
His speech at the Denver
convention was the one that
caused the sixty-four minute
Bryan demonstration, and
this is one of the things that
has brought him so strongly
into the limelight. For a
blind man to make a success
full. canvass of any state
proves rare gifts and a strong
personality, but to win out in
Oklahoma, in that most holly
contested race, places him in
the first rank as a man of
sterling character and bril-
liant a~ttainments.
