Since They Were Placed On
Market.

Brisk demand for the new houses
which Harry Wardman is building in
the square bounded by Sherman ave-
nue.. Columbia road and Harvard streets
northwest, is shown by the record OF
sales for the past two weeks during
which the houses have been on the
market. Shannon & Luchs report to-
day that fourteen of the houses have
been sold in that time, or an average
of one a day. In this operation Mr..

OLD LANDMARK TO-
FALL IN PASSING7OF
CORCORAN BUILDING
Real Estate Circles Stirred
by Deals Involving Old
Structure.

Interest In real estate circles was
stirred this week by the announcement
that plans had been practically con-
cluded to replace the old Coreoran
Building with a modern commercial
hotel to cost about $2.500.000. Final de-
tails are expected to be arranged ut
a meeting of those interested on Mon
day.
With the passing of the Corcoran
Building another landmark of old
Washington and one long identified
with the well-known Corocoran family
Of this city will disappear. On June 1
the old Arlington is to be started on it's
way to destruction. This building was
owned by the same member of the
family. William Corcoran Eustis, as
, the Corocoran Building. Two other
monuments to William w. Corcoran,
however. will remain, the Corcoran Gal
lery Of Art and the Louise Home.
The Corcoran office building was
erected about thirty years ago and is
one OF the oldest office buildings of
the city. 1t is still occupied, on its
upper floors, by offices, but has long
since fallen behind the procession of
modern office building in Washington.
1t Is now regarded by its owner and
those interested with him in the COLI
struction of the proposed hotel as an
ideal site for a modern commercial
hotel. It is not to be OF the expensive
character planned for the new Arling-
ton. but is designed rather for a high
grade commercial house.
The main cafe and the outdoor dining
room will look out over the new park
to be created out of the square now
occupied by Chase's old theater and
other buildings, and across toward the
three new department buildings to be
erected on the four squares to the
south. while the south front of the
Treasury, the Sherman statue and the
White House grounds will complete
the vista. This will also be the outlook
from the sleeping rooms of the FIJI
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue
sides.
Since the architect is designing a
front similar to that of the new Riggs
Building and the National Metropoli-
tan Bank Building. nearly the entire
east frontage of Fifteenth street from
the avenue to G. street will have been
improved by modern structures in har-
mony of design with that Of the Treas
ury opposite.

M. L. HODGES RAP
IDLY RECOVERING

Mark l.. Hodges, the veteran rail-
way mail clerk, who was thought to
have been fatally wounded in the
wreck Of the Memphis special at
Vance, five miles south of Bristol,
some two weeks ago, is now rapidly
recovering at st, Luke's hospital, His
son, Bruce A. Hodges, also railway
mail clerk, was instantly killed in the
wreck and the two were buried to-
gether under the mail car.
1t was at first thought that there
was no chance of saving Mr. Hodges
left arm, but the physicians are now
confident that amputation will not be
necessary and that the use of the arm
will not be lost to the patient. The
bone was splintered between the
wrist and the elbow and the flesh so
lacerated that at first it was thought
that there was no hope of saving the
arm. His right leg was crushed at the
ankle by the weight of the heavy mail
car, but the leg is doing well.
The other two mail clerks who were
injured have recovered. No others
were hurt.

| Mrs Rogan. There was large dele.
CATION of Presbyterians at the Red
Bank station last night when Mrs. Ro-
gan's body arrived.
1t was a sad party that met the pas
tor. Some of them were crying and
marks of grief were on every face. All
of them were great friends of Mrs Ro-
gan and her death threw pail over
the members of the congregation. Mr.,
Rogan's friends accompanied him to
the parsonage and spent few minutes
with the grief stricken minister. This
morning a large number of friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogan called at the par
sonage to express their sympathy. A
large number of letters of coincidence
were also received.
Mrs. Rogan was of southern war
stock. Her father, Gen. Alfred e. jack
son, served in the confederate army
during the civil war Her grandfather
was Gen. Taylor, who fought in the
Mexican war. Mrs. Rogan was born
50 years ago at Jonesboro, Tenn.
Thirty-four years ago she married
Mr.. Rogan, and the couple began house
keeping at Bristol, Tenn, where Mr..
Rogan had his first charge. They NOV
ed to Thomaswood, Ga, and later took
up their residence at Savannah, Ga.
The climate at Savannah did not agree
with Mrs. Rogan, and for this reason
her husband gave up his charge there
and accepted call TO a Presbyterian
church at Pennington. Three years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Rogan moved TO Red
Bank, where they had since lived.
Mrs. Rogan had many amiable traits
of character She was very active in
church work, and the other women of
thecongregation depended greatly upon
her to maintain religious and social
work. Mrs. Rogan was afmember of
the Kings Daughters, the ladies' aux
ilary of the young mems christian as
sociation and other church societies.
She was also teacher of the bible
school class of the Sunda-school

the officials in the county in which he
lives. The sisters are Mrs. Eliza Muir
ply, of Jonesboro, and Mrs. Chas. l..

no children.

HOT ADDRESSES
MADE TO PEOPLE
ARE SELECTED
Gov. Hooper Addressed, by Invita-
ton, Faction Which Opposed
Nomination State Ticket.

Nashville, August 1.-The mooted
question today in the bull moose con-
vcntion Was whether or not to put
out state ticket, and on this rock the
original convention assembled at the
capital split into two factions, each
claiming the majority. Two conven-
tions were held and each took COM
plete and separate action.
In the beginning, the convention
was called on the day just after cleo
ton, which prevented many whom
the Houk-Taylor crowd did not want
from attending. Not contented with
that, an address was issued to the eff
feet that no Hooper men were wanted.
To make certain results aimed at, it
was stipulated at the opening of the
convention that no man could partici-
pate who did not favor a state ticket.
The convention was Roosevelt
gathering. No Taft men were there
but many of them were for Hooper.
These, it is claimed, were denied rec
ognition and seeing that they had no
chance, even though they claimed
majority, they walked out of the hall.
The Houk-Taylor crowd nominated
w. f. Poston for governor and J. e.
Ellington of Chattanooga for railroad
commissioner. They adopted a plat
form and selected delegates to Chicago
and selected state committee.
The real Roosevelt people assembled
at the Hermitage hotel and also Sc
lected state committee, authorized
the election of electors from the con-
gressional districts and selected II. Il.
Lindsay and II. T. Campbell, of Bris-
tol, for electors from the state-at-large.
They adopted some warm resolu-
tions directed at Houk and Taylor and
calling on Poston to refuse to accept
the nomination. They further request
ed H. B. Lindsay and w. j. Oliver to
resume leadership of the party. An
address scorching in its terms was
issued to the voters of the state.
At the original convention there
were 101 men from outside of Nash
vile. Some thirty negroes and crowd
picked up from this city raised the
to around 250. The Hermit
age hotel assembly claimed that they
had majority of the convention if
they had been allowed hearing.
The net result of the days proceed
ing was that two parties have been
formed of the Roosevelt faction, while
the attempt to put out ticket against
Hooper will prove futile. Roosevelt
men In the state can take chance and
vote for Roosevelt electors and Hooper
or for Roosevelt electors and Poston.
With this state of affairs Governor
Hooper will hardly fear the result.
1t is freely predicted here that the
republican state ticket will
hurt the democratic nominee more
than it will Hooper, for it is well
known fact that these men have in
The past voted the state democratic
ticket.

great interest is being taken in Europe

of the deeper problems of national life
that underline the issue between the
