AGREEMENT SEEMS DOUBTFUL.
Conferences with Mediators Will

1t is doubtful whether an agreement
will be reached to-day In the dispute
between employees and managers OF
Southeastern railways, according to
Judge Martin A. Knapp. who is acting
as mediator, together with Commissioner
Of Labor Charles p. Neill.
"Thc hearings held to-day were merely
preliminary said Judge Knapp last
night The question is so large that IL
will require some time to consider II
thoroughly.
I'VE conferred with the trainmen in
the morning and with the managers In
the afternoon, but no agreement was
reached. The alternating conferences
will be continued until a settlement is
reached"
Neither the mediators nor the parties
to the dispute would discuss the pro-
ceedings. but 1t is understood that the
trainmen are holding. out firmly for a
substantial increase in the scale OF
wages.

TRANSACTIONS
IN BUSINESS PROPERTY
Transfers Recorded of Valuable Lots in Busy
Connecticut Avenue Neighborhood.

Several realty transactions of more than
average Importance were concluded dur
ing the past week. and among the lead
ers in the list of transfers probably were
series of sales concluded through the
Office of Horace II. Westcott, real estate
broker. all of them involving property
adjacent to the rapidly developing busi
ness section along Connecticut avenue.
Nearly every month recently has seen
one or more transfers of realty along
Connecticut avenue. all of them serving
to indicate the steady progression of busi-
ness interests along this main artery of
travel into the northwest residence sec
ton, so that the time seems not far dis
tant when Connecticut avenue will take
its place as one Of the important shop
ping thoroughfares OF the National Cap
ital. :.
Three sales were negotiated this week
by Mr.. Westcott. the properties concerned
being at the southwest corner of l.th
and X streets at 900 18th street and at
the southwest corner of 18th and streets.
One buyer took all three properties, ard
the neigliborhood of $4,000. Title to all
three pieces was placed in the name Of
Harriet Holther, but this was merely a
detail of the transaction, since the real
buyer wished for the time being to re-
| main in the background.
That the opportunity for investment
offered by the 11th street property was
the moving cause in the trio of pur-
chases was well indicated in the an
nounced intention Of the buyer to inl-
nlediately undertake the remodeling of
the fine old residence at the corner of

record as a part of the transactions.
Joseph r. and Mary f. Johnson sold
the property at the southwest corner of
18th and * streets, and, while the con-
sideratiOn in this transaction was not
made public. 1t is assumed the price was
in the neighborhood of $4,000. since a
deed Of trust in the sum of $4,000 figured
in the sale. Like the corner of 18th and
l streets, this property is on what might
be termed the approach to Connecticut

Soon to Business.

Apparently having passed the zenith OF
Its fame as a center of one of the fash

Dupont circle at last has yielded to the
demand for business property which of
recent months has been much in evidence
along the line of traffic on Connecticut
avenue. In a transaction which has just
been completed John c. Walker of the
Walker-Hughes Company became the
owner Of the two houses at No. and No
8 Dupont circle, and although it is his
intention for the present to make no
change in the property, the time is not
far distant when both houses will be
demolished and modern stores erected in
their places.

the property is 130 feet.
1t was after the transaction was con-
cluded that the announcement was made
that Mr.. Walker intends to rent the

ent time, but that his plans ultimately
contemplate the utilization of the prop

Georgetown and Mount Pleasant car
lines, for business purposes. In addition
to this property Mr.. Walker already owns
