GOVERNMENT BUYS
F|FTY:SEVEN ACRES

A purchase of a tract of fifty-seven
acres adjoining the National Training
School for Boys from Arthur G. Bishop
and wife was consummated during the
early part of the week by the firm of
Joseph J. Weller. The title, which was
made over TO the United States, trans
fers ownership to a tract which is part
OF the original grants which were made
out in the days of early settlement of
this country, and which were designated
as parts of Barbados and Scotland en-
larged. The consideration involved was
s36. 1880, which was paid for the prop
erty after expert real estate authorities
had investigated il for the Government.
The tract had been but recently sub
divided, with the intention of disposing
of II by local real estate firms for resi-
dental sites. The National Training
School for Boys acquired it primarily to
forestall a congestion which would
necessarily threaten its own properties
should building of homes be begun upon
; the property.
1t occupies commanding plateau just
within the District line, overlooking the
city. With little interruption it has a
frontage along the Bladensburg road
and depth which approaches the river.
With the future acquisition of thirteen
acres adjoining, the institution hopes at
some future time to assume title to
the entire property in that tract, with a
view 10 giving IL over to the Govern
ment for parking and general beauti-
fication OF the city.
improvements have not yet been
specified for this property. pending sp-
propriations for that purpose. but the
grounds are intended TO be used as
recreation grounds for the boys at
present

The tract occupied by the school now
in its entirety is replete In historical

cupy lot on the north side of street
northwest. near Twenty-second street.
The tract of land which the local en-
bassy owns on that site embraces an
area of 5l.000 square feet, and fronts for
thirty feet on street. The land was
bought for the German government
seven years ago, and was thought. for

German government visited WASHINGTON

1t is said that the building will be
constructed from materiols gotten from

tails OF the Sans Soucf Palace In the
United States.
Whether Bruno Moehrirg. who de-
signed the building. will also be given
the contract to build the edifice, has not
been decided upon yet, but it is believed
that he may be sent by the German
government to carry out building plans
on the edifice which he created on
paper.
The building will contain a chancel-
lerie so that 1t will not be necessary
to break into the architectural plans to
locate offices In nearby buildings. There

ball room. a magnificent study for the
ambassador, and other rooms suited to
a combination of residence and official

.UNFURMSHED HOMES
SOUGHT BY OFFICIALS
Result Change of Administra-
ton, in Opinion of Real Es-
tate Authority.

Official circles in Washington. for
the first time in sixteen wears, or
since the exodus of the last Democratic
Administration, are seeking the unfur-
nished horne. The popularity OF the
Unfurnished home to the exclusion of
the furnished home in this city has be-
come a matter of importance TO the
real estate fraternity this season, and,
in the opinion of Richardson Gibson. an
authority on rents in local real estate
transactions, the change which is oc-
cupying real estate men this year is
directly incident TO the change from
Republican 10 Democratic administra-
ton, or. as the professional real estate
man looks at IL, from the wealthy TO
the less wealthy home seeker.
The market is flooded with furnished
homes this season. said Mr.. Gibson
today, and most of them seem to be
destined to go a-begging.
With the exodus of the Republican
Administration, the wealthy officials
who Occupied expensive furnished homes
on the Avenue of the Presidents and
other fashionable streets. have left
Washington and have gone to their
homes in the States. With their going
the unfurnished home comes into prom
irence and at this time OF the season
they are just about gone

Among home seekers high in official
life, Secretary Daniels. of the Navy.
has rented an unfuriished home this

The recently occupied home of Secre-
tary McAdoo, at 1909 Massachusetts
Avenue, was rented unfurnished. as

Vice Presiden, Marshall, who is con-

the matter TO be kept quiet until final
papers are negotiated sealing The lease.

out yet
Evident In Other Circles.
Secretary Houston has but recently
moved INTO An unfurnished home at
III street northwest.
The tendency. shown by the
higher officials. is equally evident in
all political circles in Washington this
season. and extends right down
through Congress on tie Democratic
side of political affairs said Mr. Glib
SON.
The tendency is very evident when
one reflects upon the locations OF fur
nished homes which officials OF the Re-
publican Administration either rented
or bought outright during the latter ad-
ninistra lions. Former Secretary Meyer
leased a home at 1900 Sixteenth street,
the consideration on the lease being
SIS, 600 a year. Former Secretary Slim
son leased a home at lli9 Sixteenth
street; Attorney General Wickersham
bought home on Sixteenth street, the
consideration being 100000. Secretary
Fisher resided at 1910 Connecticut ave-
nue., and Vice President Sherman at
