COURT ORDERS AUCTION
OF THE HOTEL POWHATAN
Private Bidding Indicates Keen
Competition for Possession
of the Property.

All private bids for the purchase of
the Hotel Powhatan. at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest were
declined today by Justice Stafford, who
decided that the best interests of the
general creditors of the Lewis Hotel
Company. which owned the property.
would be conserved by a sale at public
auction. The court directed the receiv-
ers to advertise a sale at auction We'd
nesday, October s.
Three bids for the hotel building and
equipment were submitted to the court
by the receivers today. H. Winship
submitted bid to pay $122,25O in cash
over An incumbrance of $4,000 on the
property. This bid is an advance OF
$3.50 over the bid of ]. W. Thornton,
Stafford. The Thornton bid was re-
newed today.
The third bid aggregated s2s5,OOO and
was submitted by D. R. Midyette, A. l.
mond, Va. This bid called for the plac
ing of a first trust for $25O.OOO and CIV
ing second mortgage for $50, 1000, pay.
able in one and two years.
Attorney William Henry White, repre-.
senting the receivers. objected to this
last bid as netting only $4,000 in cash
to be distributed among the general cred.
itors as against $4,000 in cash submitted
by the Thornton bid. He urged that the
Richmond bid be rejected.
After a general discussion among coun.
sci for the creditors, the bidders and the
bankrupt corporation Attorney HI. Win
ship Wheatley suggested the advisability
of an auction sale.
Justice Stafford accepted this sugges.
ton, remarking that the record indicated
that a keen competition has developed
for the securing of the hotel and would
be best displayed at a sale by auction.

MORE CHANGES ARE DUE
IN OFFICE Of ASSESSOR
Commissioners Deny Any PoIit-
iCaI MOtiveS-Hard at Work
on Budget.

Other changes in the personnel Of the
| office of assessor OF the District Of Col
| umbia are slated to follow the removal
by the Commissioners today Of Aaron
Bradshaw as personal tax inspector. 1t
| Is stated that a number Of shifts may be
| made in the clerical force and that, in
one or two instances. employees may be
dismissed in the interest of increasing the
efficiency of the Office.
| The Commissioners deny that any DO
| litical motives are back Of the proposed
changes. They back up this assertion by
| pointing to the fact that c. 8. Cotton,
former assistant clerk of the excise
| board, who was appointed to succeed Mr.
Bradshaw, was selected because of his
meritorious record in the District service
The District heads. it is understood, may
appoint Dudley Fleming, saloon inspector
| of the former excise board. to a position
| In the assessors Office, II the proposed
readjustment of the personnel of the Of
flee will permit of this being done.
Department Transfer Denied.
So far as is known the Commissioners
are not considering any changes in the
other departments of the local govern
ment. A rumor that the street cleaning
department had been transferred to the
Jurisdiction of Commissioner siddons was
denied at the District building today. This
department is now under the jurisdiction
of the Engineer Commissioner.
The Commissioners are working hard
every day on the estimates. much to the
disappointment of officeseekers and others
who have been making futile efforts to
obtain interviews with the District heads.
The board convenes promptly at IL
o'clock every morning for the purpose of
working on the budget, and has an after
noon session daily. which starts at 9
o'clock. The Commissioners secretaries
are being kept busy explaining to callers
:! that their chiefs cannot be seen. Two
weeks remain in which the estimates must
be completed, and in this time the Com
missioners will make few, if any. engage
ments.
