Beats Altamaha Easily in Fea-
ture Race on James,
town Track.

NORFOLK, Va, November .2-Atam-
aha. from the stable of Richard T. Will
son, was well beaten in what was meant
for the feature race of the jamestown
Jockey Club yesterday. 1t was Lin
brook that took his measure and he did
ii handily
The weather was ideal for outdoor
sport. and a big crowd was out The
contests We're all keen, most of them
being over sprinting distances and for
selling platers.
Altamaha met his defeat in mile and
q sixteenth affair i'll which he appeared
to greatly outclss his field. Linbrook
went right out with the Wilson horse
from the rise of the barrier, and while
Ward had to hustle him some in the
early stages to stall off Altahama, after
they had gone half mile the result was
settled in as far as Altamaha's chances
We're concerned. for he tired, and Lin
brook had matters pretty much his own
way thereafter. With light weight up
Altamaha is a shifty sort of a platter,
but the 113 pounds he was asked to
shoulder yesterday proved handicap he
was unable to overcome.
lncisiOn and MimeSis were the WIN
ming fayorites. There was an especially
strong play on the latter, and she was
good enough to overcome lot of early
interference and win easily at the end
from Outlan.

PROBE into REALTY
OPERATIONS GOES ON
Assessor Richards l. Questioned a. to
Interest in Building and Loan
Company.
A. E. WALKER ALSO ON STAND

The House District Committee con.
tinued yesterday its probe into the real
estate operations of Assessor Richard.
and Assistant Assessors Kalbfus and
Mckenzie. The testimony was uninter.
esting.
Assessor Richards was on the stand
for a few minutes while the chairman
of the committee asked him concern
ing his interest in a building and loan
company. Mr.. Richards said he was
vice president of the Columbia Build
ing and Loan Company and promised
to give the committee a list OF its of.
ficers and directors.
Allan Z. Walker, a local real estate
dealer. who handled the transaction by
which Mr.: Richards and Assistant AS
SCISSORS Kalbfus and Mckenzie acquired
property at Twentieth and Belmon,
Streets, said the purchasers had not
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-08-06

sought the property and he thought It
probable that he had suggested The
deal to Mr.. Kalbfus. He said the fact
that Mr.. Richards was concerned in the
deal had made no impression on his mind
at the time. The carrying of the prop
erty in the name of a dummy Mr..
Walker ascribed to custom.
Assistant Assessor Mckenzie, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Walker on the stand, testified
that he owns a third interest in the
Belmont Street property. a house at
1904 East Capitol Street in which he
had lived for eleven years, and his
present home at 144s Harvard Street.
He testified that he had owned a lot in
Sheridan Circle which he had purchased
at 81 a foot and sold for 50 foot.
Under questioning by the chairman
Mr.. Mckenzie said he had purchased
800 worth OF stock in a company which
proposed to erect a hotel at Fourteenth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. He
had not sat as a member OF the Excise
Board when the application for a bar
room license was made he said, and
when IT was later decided to abandon
the hotel plan and run a barroom there
In the old building. he had sold back his
stock to the principal holder.

TWO new BUILDINGS
FOR EPISCOPAL School
Dormitories Now Being Erected for In
stituion at Seminary Hill, Fair
fax County, Va.
OTHER CHANGES ARE PLANNED

The Page Construction Company, of
Washington, has in course Of erection
two additional buildings for the Epis-
copal High School, situated on Semi
nary Hill, Fairfax County. Va. They
are known at the present as the north

feet long and three stories high, and
is constructed of brick, trimmed with
Indiana limestone. Each floor has a
masters room, room for boys, and a
specious lavatory. with all appurte-
nances. including hat and cold showers.
In addition to the safeguards, there
will be fire plugs for a two-inch hose

The north dormitory is similar to the
one Just described. with the exception

A plan for the permanent Improvement

about thirty acres OF land and enable

Should the plans now under considera-

| term of court. 1t was evident that many
| OF them were prominent and wealthy
1 citizens, and that most were not eager
| to serve.
Francis ]. Carolan, for instance was
| eager to be off for Europe, and he was
permitted to go his way until the first
Tuesday in October. But other wealthy
| men were no. so fortunate.
In due course, all the excuses from
going TO meet Secretary Lane at Tahoe
to fixing cofferdam in the exposition
grounds had been heard and passed
upon, and the jury box was about to
be filed wheE Marshal Woodwork
stepped to the pleading desk and pre-
scented a motion and affidavit asking
that the trial be transferred to Sacra-
mento.
First Point Lost.
The affidavit was to the effect that
Diggs. who declared that the alleged
offense was committed in Sacramento,
and he could not afford to bring his
witnesses here. His family being in
Sacramento was given as another
ground. Matt Sullivan promptly OPP
posed the motion as being made at a
late da. and declared the affidavit had
no merit and was not made in good
faith. because it did not set out the
names of the witnesses or what they
would testify to. The court does not
sit in Sacramento until April, and this
would result in long wait
But Judge Van Fleet denied the mo-
ton for the charge OF venue. aud Digs
was fairly put on trial, Caminettfs
case to come UP later.
Without more ado the first twelve jury
men were called into the box. The OPEN
ing statement of Attorney Sullivan was
| merely a perfunctory setting out of the
allegations of the complaint.
He said:
1--WE are about to empanel a Jury to
try Maury I. Diggs for a violation Of
the white slave traffic act. 1t is saiG
that he aided in transporting Marsha
Warrington from Sacramento to Reno for
an immoral purpose 1t is charged the:
he aided in inducing Leola Norris to 30
| to Reno with F. Drew Caminetti.'
Probably Start Today.
The questions asked the talesmen did
not indicate in any way the plans of the
prosecution of the defense.
A challenge by Coghlan against Henry
E. Bothin was not disputed by Sullivan
and the venireman went on his way.
There was only one other challenge for
bias. Judge Van Fleet denied the chal
lenge
So when court adjourned until 15
o'clock tomorrow there were eleven
veniremen in the box who had been
passed by both sides for bias. The pros
| ecution had sixty peremptory challenges,
and the defense ten.
1t is expected that a jury will be Sc.
cured and the first testimony taken to-
morrow. with some startling tales to be-
told, and unusual exhibits to be offered.
