PLOTS BOUGHT FOR

Sale Authorized by Court;
Title Vested in Munsey Trust
and w. +. Stewart.

Einety-four years ago, q plot OF
ground at 40 and 712 Eleventh street
northwest was purchased for $20s,
and Today. by order of the court, the
same property was disposed of for
$4,000 The property was purchased
Wy the father Of Walter Stewart who
lied some years ago. 1t illustrates
the rise of the value Of property in
that section of Washington, now rec
ognixed as the center of the retail
and shopping districts of the city.
The sale of the property opposite
the Paiais Royal, consisting Of 7lo,
7la, 72s and 7s0 Eleventh street
northwest, was authorized in a decree
signed today by Justice Barnard, pre-
siding in Equity Court No. 1. In the
suit Of 8. Jane Stewart and others
against Fenwick ]. 7. Stewart and
others.
The decree directs that the title be
vested in the Munsey Trust Company
and Walter F. Stewart for the pur-
poses Of making sale, and that an
offer which il submitted to the court
of $4,000 for houses 10 and III be
accepted.
The bill OF complaint which was filed
by Attorney Wilton ]. Lambert sets
forth that the property had descended
TO the heirs Of Walter Stewart by the
latter's will, and a life estate was held
by the widow, s. Jane Stewart, the bal
oDce going at her death to the children
- Walter Stewart. In view OF the fact
that the rental fro mthe property was
small. and the income to be derived
from the proceeds of sale on investment
would be many times greater, the court
was asked to take the action which was

The Ben johnson bill proposing fur
ther to regulate the banks Of the Dis
trict has failed to arouse much in
terest in banking circles. and II is the
opinion of many that Congress will
not 6menQ tQe u0tlOual banking ACT TOT
the sake Of doubtful necessity In the
District.
The chief criticism of the bills pro-
visiCn ms is UPON the real estate feature.
It ts pointed out that such a provis-
Ion would operate to increase the ex-
penses Of most Institutions and to
reduce their incomes. Several WASH
ington banks now not only get their
banking space free of cost, but are
making from to 4 per cent addition
al on the investments they made in
their bank buildings, which are also
office buildings. Under the proposed
measure q bank would be compelled
either to rent quarters or construct
. non-incomc producing building for
its home.

company heads. in the city said that
he preferred not to express an opinion
on the bill until he had seen an actual

Letters Will Be Boiled Down"
Before. Sent to President
for His Consideration.

Between 5000, and 5000 letters in
dorsing and opposing the men mentioned
for appointment as District Commission
ers and excise commissioner have been
received at the Executive offices. The
attention at present is to brief all these
letters and submit them TO President
Wilson when he takes up District ap-
pointments.
The fact that this bulky correspond
ence has not as yet been submitted TO
the President is taken at the White
House offices as an indication that the
District appointments will no; he mad"
for some time. probably not until next
month.
The bulk of the letters received at the
White House bearing on District affairs
have to do with the individual canil-
dacies. but some are more general in
their terms. Among these is one from
s. Dana Lincoln. presi6en. Of the Me

Most Of the standpat Republican lead

for restoration of the Republicans to

take no stock in such a policy. and want
to act aggressively. The situation is
the more important because many pro-

to quit the party unless something iS
