Blount Accepts Cut
In Price Of Property

The Meridian Hill public park will be
acquired without an additional appro-
priation BY Congress.
BY agreeing to accept 1856 less for
his land on the site than awarded by
the Government appraisers, Henry +.
Blount, of 3l01 r street northwest,
with the original appropriation of $780,
900.
Mr.. Blount has filed In the District
Supreme Court an agreement TO have
his damage appraisement reduced 81
S66, the exact amount Of the total ep-
praisement of the commission in ex-
cess of the appropriation. The damage
awards of the appraisers aggregated
$494, ,S66, or s. 500 greater than what Con-
gress has set aside for the PARK pur-
chase. 1t was feared that apparent ne
cessity for an additional appropriation
from Congress, to meet the award Of
the condemnation commission. might de-
lay or prevent requirement of the park
this fall.
Now Mr.. Blount files a renunciation
of the excess sum, agreeing to accept
an award of S30,011 for his property, in
appraisers.
Other property owners are planning,
however. to object to some appraise-
ments Of the commission. Today before
Justice Stafford notice was given by
Mrs. Christine Waggaman, widow Of
Thomas E. Waggaman, that she wished
to except to the report to save her dow
er interests. The Waggaman estate was
awarded damages of 500, 900 by the ap-
praisers, but there are debts against
the property Of $230,oO0.

The safeguards against fire THAT have
been installed in public buildings are
given great prominence in the report
that Henry Storey superintendent OF
repairs Of the District, made today to
Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford.
Mr.. Storey. after reviewing the appro-
priations made by Congress to protect
public buildings, especially school
houses. and their inmates against dis
aster from fire. gives an account Of the
work that has been done in the fiscal
year ended June 30.
One of the principal tasks was the
replacing of wooden stairways by iron
ones. and this was accomplished in ap-
proximately forty buildings. The ap-
preparation for the last fiscal yea was
$37, 500, and with that amount an at
tempt was made to provide the iron
stairways in schools and to add to them
fireproof storage for fuel and ashes and
fire extinguishers and fire alarms. as
well as to afford fire proofing to the
heating apparatus and corridors and to
make necessary alterations in heat and
vent flues.
Mr.. Storey reported that his depart
ment was able to accomplish much OF
the required work on the appropriation
for the fiscal year, 19l0-19ll, which was
exhausted March 16, and that other
work was made possible Of accomplish
ment by reason Of the fact that the ap-

Lovelorn Chinese Makes
Three Suicide Attempts

BANGOR. Me, Aug. 5.-After being
sentenced to serve fifteen years in the
State prison for assault with intent to
kill upon Miss Christine Shaw, Of Orono,
fse Shen Linn, a Chinese government
student at the University of Maine, yes
terday made bis third attempt to kill
himself
Linn was Miss Shaw's pupil, and,
while learning languages, learned love
also. When Miss Shaw refused to
marry her pupil, Linn shot her, on June
8, inficting a slight wound. Immedi-
ately after shooting he drank poison,
without effect. Last Saturday night he
was found hanging in his Jail cell and
was cut down. While being led from
court he tried to choke himself with a
silk handkerchief. and IT took five depu-
ties to put him in handouts and a

proprfation for the current fiscal year
had been made available March 2. The
number of ash and fuel vaults con-
structed was forty-one, and the num-
ber of ceilings freproofed, twenty nine.
Twenty-six exit doors and twenty-eight
new doors were opened: 145 fire gongs
and forty-five fire exttnguishers were
installed. Approximately 30 per cent
of all the work of providing fire pro-
lection, lie asserts, has been completed.
The old, dirty, germ-covered tin cup
is fast passing from the school house,
Mr.. Storey reports. Acting upon the
declaration that 1t is dangerous to
health he is having II replaced with the
sanitary drinking fountains. which are
being installed at the rate OF about 100
year. The complete change could be
accomplished with an appropriation OF
about 900 for 1.200 drinking fountains.
he says.
Mr.. Storey says larger appropriations
are required for his work. A large part
of the appropriation for repairs to
school buildings, he declares. must be
used for heating apparatus, so that the
amounts available for other purposes
are not sufficient.
The estimated value Of the school
buildings in use, he says. Is slO,OOO,OO
and an allowance Of even ! per cent for
repairs would amount to 100000. or $780,
000 more than the present appropriation
He relates that there are more than
100000 square feet Of floor area In the
schools, and that an allowance OF 1
cents a square yard would bring the
repair cost of them to $SS.0oO

Bryan Says Taft Is
Distrustful Of People

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. Sin the
opinion of william J. Bryan, President
Taft is not q supporter Of popular gov
ernment.
Mr.. Bryan says in the Commoner:
"The trouble with President Taft is
that he is constitutionally distrustful
Of the people. He has no fear OF the
tyranny OF a minority. but becomes
hysterical at the thought Of the ma
jority making a mistake
when he refuses to allow Arizona to
frame her constitution to suit herself.
he shows leanings toward a centralized
government, and when he becomes
frightened at the recall he discloses .
lack Of faith in the capacity of the peo-
pie for self-government
'It does not alarm him to have q
President force a nomination upon a
party by the unscrupulous use Of pa
tronage, but his nerves are unstrung
at the thought Of the people using the
recall to rid themselves of 4 Judge who
prostitutes his office to the service OF
