70 permit the sale of the $50O,O0O worth
Of realty in East Washington Heights,
which is in litigation as consequence
OF suits involving the heirs of Theodore
A. Havemeyer. one time prominent in

The claim of the Havemeyer heirs is
that the tract is not fit for division to
be sold in parcels, but rather should
be disposed of as a whole. The answer
TO this contention, as filed through
eorneys James b. Archer and John
Lewis Smith. representing Colonel Bliss,
is that the only satisfactory way to
sell is to divide the land into lots.
H Colonel III s claiu1E that lie and Mr..
Havemeyer, who died in 1907, bought

ing to divide the proceeds, but since
the death of Mr.. Havemeyer there has

DICKSON HOME FOR
AGED. MEN RAPIDLY
ASSUMING SHAPE
Structure Nearing Compile
ton, and Will Add to
Beauty of Vicinity.

Fast assuming form and disclosing
outlines of unusual beauty and dig
nifty the new ohm Dickson Memorial
Home For Aged Men, now building
at Fourteenth and Farragut streets
northwest. has reached stage in its
construction which gives a good idea
of how it will appear when completed
earlv in the spring.
Standing in the midst of a purely
residential section of the city, sec
tion which has been built up exclu-
sively with detached residences, the
Dickson home will not only not de-
tract from the beauty of the sur
roundings, but will greatly enhance
them The building is a long brick
structure purely Georgian or Colonial
in design, only two stories in height
and is set in the center of four acres
of ground which Is to be formally laid
out in keeping with the character OF
the building.
Colonial Style.
Fine examples Of. the Colonial style
of two-story, columned porch are al
both ends OF the building and in the
center. A Colonial cupola surmourts
the building. The design Is the work
of Arthur B. Heaton, architect, and
the construction is being done by the
Bovle- r obertson Company.
The site for the building was acquired
little over three years ago by the
Washington Loan and Trust Company
trustees Of the Henry Dickson trust and
executors Of the will. At that time the
property was bought at II cents a
square foot. The trustees have since
been able to sell the property for more
than three times that amount, but pre-
ferred to retaiNit for their original pur'
pose.
Ready for Spring.
The building will be ready for occu
pancy before spring, but will probabl,
not be occupied until we'll after thai
time. John Joy Edison, president Of thu
trust company. said today that upor
completion Of the building a new boart
of trustees will be organized, and the
institution placed In its care.
About $900,8O0 was left by Henry Dick
son. and in his will making the trus
company executors he provided for thu
construction of a home for aged men a.
a memorial to his father. The onl!
stipulation in the will with reference Il
admittance to the proposed home !!
that an applicant must have been {
resident of the District for five years
The building will cost about $l75,0OO.

NEW GOVERNMENT
BUILDINGS TO Be
UNDER WAY SOON
Contracts Let for Construc-
tionof Printing Bureau
Home and Postoffice.

Within a short time the construction
of two great Government buildings will
be under way in Washington, as the
result of awards of contracts decided
on by the Treasury Department. These
awards are:
Contract for construction of new
building for the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing, awarded to ]. Henry
Miller. Inc, of Baltimore, on bid of
$l,169,4F for limestone exterior and
S1,422,226 for granite.
The lowest bid for new city postoffice
for Washington was made by Gill e.
Sons, of Cleveland, for $2.197.oO0. Su.
pery,sing Architect James Knox Taylor
tract had been awarded to the Cleve-
land firm.
Question As to Material.
The formal award for construction
work on the postoffice building will
wait until, certain details as to stone
are decided by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. ...
Whether to use granite Is understood
to be the question. New sources of
granite supply from which the stone
can be obtained unusually cheap have
profit by these on both of the buildings
The award on the Bureau Of Engrav-
Ing building was made SO quickly as to
) cause general surprise. 1t was made in
twenty-four hours from the time the
| bids were opened. A wait of two or
| three days had been anticipated. The
| expedition in the award is in accord
| with the purpose of Secretary Mac
| Veagh to hasten the construction of
| this building to the utmost.
Work Starts At Once.
| Under the contract the building Is TO
be completed and ready for occupancy
In seventeen months from the time of
signing the contract. The contractors
will begin work Immediately.
The terms of the bid on granite for
the Bureau of Engraving building are
! such that the Treasury CO.. make use
! of granite If II sees fit. providing Con-
| gress will add small sum to the ap-
preparation. The right to determine
! whether granite or limestone shall be
used is reserved for decision later.
Steel construction can proceed. however,
without reference to the decision as to
granite or limestone.
| While the new Bureau Of Engraving
building is being constructed, there will
be no Interference with the work of the
bureau in the old building. Uncle Sam s
money will be printed without Interrupt
] tion.
/ The new building will be classic in de-
sign, with a frontage of over 500 feet,
with inner courts which will afford light
and air, and make the building healthful
and sanitary.

Dun's Resume for Week.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-R G. Dun &c
Co.'S weekly review OF trade tomorrow
in the state OF the larger trades. Con-
traction OF output continues In iron and
steel. but the outlook for the new year
Is regarded as encouraging.
In December twenty additional
furnaces were blown out and the daily
production fell from 1850 TO 1889 tons.
or nearly $4,000 tons less than in the
corresponding period of 1909 However.
prices at all leading centcrs still display
tendency toward greater weakness and
buyers are holding back In the hope that
further concessions Will be granted.
In some other branches OF the indus
try conditions appear more encouraging.
reports from Chicago and Pittsburg in
dicating a better inquiry from the rail-
roads, while the outlook In the structural
division is considered promising.
Retailers OF dry goods the country
over are pushing sales of white goods and
domestics,, while jobhers are busy bring
ing out their new lines OF spring goods
for house display. Buyers are showing
increased activity in the markets. There
has been little more trading in special
ties. wash goods and ginghanis. and
somewhat greater interest in early show
| ings OF blankets and mapped goods, but
drills and sheetings have ruled quiet.
Selling agents in both cottons- and
woolens. aS well as In SILK lines. find 1,
difficult to adjust prices because of thf
sustained high costs Of raw material and
| production. while buyers are operating
only for immediate need.
| fair export trade in cottons is now
| reported with the far cast.
! Tho footwear market continued quiet
! and unchanged. New England producers
| have but a small reserve for spring cut

| be carrying meager stocks and improved
! business is looked for by the latter end
! OF the month.
| The question OF price is not the dis
turbing element at present There Is
a somewhat 1rmer tone TO the market
on domestic hides and this is especially
