torneyS.

An interesting realty deal in down
town property has been concluded In
the sale of the old Gunton building, on
the south side of Louisiana avenue, next
to the old District building. Mrs. Emma
J. Walter has purchased the property
for consideration which is not dis
closed. The brokers were Liebermann
& Hawn and Ballard & LanhanI.
The purpose Of the purchaser in ac-
quiring this old property Is to change it's
use from an office building for attorneys
to commercial establishment. Realty
men who have been watching the prog
ress of development in that section of
the city point out that the section
bounded by Indiana, Louisiana, and
Pennsylvania avenues and Second ard
Seventh streets northwest will become
the wholesale and light manufacturing
sections of the city.
Whenever the Government shall take
over the property south of Pennsylva-
mia avenue ii will be necessary for all
of the wholesale esta blishments there to
find Enew quarters. 1t Is explained that
the section bounded by the streets
named is the only place to which they
are likely to move.
This is known TO be Mrs. Walters
view of the situation. and she is now
considering plans for a wholesale and
manufacturing establishment In the
building, which occupies lot Al by R0
feet along an alley.
Building Not Sold.
Failure Of interest on the part of bid
ders caused the withdrawal from sale Of
the Postal Telegraph Building at 1345 E

auction yesterday afternoon by Thomas

ing was present to witness the sale,
only one bid was made, of $4,000, which
was considered so low that the property
was withdrawn by the trustees.

and received cordial consideration; but
they have not yet heard whether an
alliance on the basis OF accepting the
progressive Democratic resolution Is
possible. Should the insurgent Republi-
cans accept the plan, it would become
the basis for the first formal alliance
between the two thorough-going pro-
gressfve factions. 1t would bring to-
gether, first, the thirteen insurgent Re-
publicans; and with them would unite
from fifteen to eighteen Democrats.
This would make the Senate fall into
three groups; the standpat Republicans
members: the allied Republican instIr-
gents and Democratic progresives would
come next, with from twenty-elght to
thirty-one members; the tory Demo-
Gratis would include the remainder OF
the Senate.
How They Stand
The best classification that has been
made of the Democratic Senators lists
them thus:
Progressives-Kern, Stone. Hitch
cock, Pomerene, Owen, Gore, Lea,
Chamberlain, Bryan. Davis. Reed,
Johnson of Maine, Myers, O'Gorman,
Smith Of South Carolina, Newlands,
and Martine-eighteen.
Tories-Bailey. Martin, Bacon, Bank
head, Paynter. Johnston OF Alabama,
Smith of Maryland. Forster. Simmons,
Ttllman, Watson. Percy. Swanson,
Chiffon, Taylor, Overman. Fletcher,
Terrell, and Thornton-nineteen.
Conservatives (progressives in SYM
pathy, but unwilling to split the
party)-Clarke of Arkansas, Rayner,
Williams, and Culberson-four.
Whether the Democratic split de-
velops over the Lorimer affair, or is
postponed till some other issue forces
1t, there is little doubt that II will
come so soon that long before the
Presidential conventions the Demo-
