The Commissioners this morning filed
with the clerk of the District Supreme

this they propose to do at once.

Several Sites Considered.

Prior to the institution of the con-
demnation proceedings. the Commits
sioners considered several sites, among
them the tracts at East Capitol. A,

RUSS RAILWAY ROUTE

Line Has Most Important Bearing
on Maintenance of Order

This new line, planned and constructed
just previous to the war, when Russia's
interest reached out beyond southern
Transcaucasia into the northern parts
of the weakening and wildly governed
territories of the shah, is described In
bulletin just issued by the National
Geographic Society. AS roads In Trans

principle of keeping people OF OF them
this line of track has most important
bearing upon the maintenance of order
at the boundary. The bulletin reads:
Teheran. One through Russia to Baku.
the oil city on the Caspian; thence by
steamer to Resht. and, finally. by road
to the Persian capital, a road built
and kept up by Russia. This route is
the older route. The second way. made
possible by railway construction
through southern Transcaucasia, which
today has considerable strategic value,
is the product of recent Russian labors.
The traveller by this route sets out from

Conditions Discouraging.

Conditions of travel upon the Max.
hitchevan railway are very discourage
ing to people inexperienced in Russian
branch lines. The trains seldom arrive
or leave anywhere according to sched-
ule, and their progress is deliberate in
the extreme. The way lies through a
country intensely hot during a great
part of the year. and the cars used on
the line are constructed after the most
advantageous manner for catching and
retaining all possible heat. Moreover.
the fares are cheap and the way Is pa
tronized heavily by swarms OF Astatics,
malordorous and neighborly.
THE trains. in pre-war days, had
way Of leaving important stations be-
tween and 6 o'clock in the mornings
The wayside stations were miserable
shanties, where widest confusion
reigned. Buying tickets At the small
novels which housed tho ticket ofnces
meant the business Of a free-for-all
fight in the midst Of jostling crew OF
excited orientals. Moreover, one must
go with the crowd on this line to the
Persian border, because no frst-class
carriages are operated thereon: Among
other drawbacks, one soon has the
knowledge forced upon him that his
fellow passengers are verminous.

Sixth Episode of The Broken Coin"

Sixth Episode OF The Broken Coin"
Count Frederick, at the end of
the fifth episode of The Broken
Coin" is attempting to rescue Kitty
Grey. the American newspaper
woman who is searching for his half
of The Broken Coin" when he is
surrounded on all sides by the sewer
apaches. Making the best of very
bad situation, he places Kitty on
her feet and smiles at the enemy.
Roleau and the Arab chief, on
the inside of the dive, looked at one
another, each blaming the other for
the mess they have made of things,
while trying to help Kitty. Roleau,
hearing the apaches stop in the
sewer, realizes they must have
caught Kitty. and, going to the
secret entrance. sees Kitty and
Frederick surrounded. Seeing the
ladder leading to the street above
Roleau calls to the Arab, and quick.
ly telling him that they can rescue
Kitty if they 90 to the street en-
trance of the sewer, they watch
their chance and leave the dive,
barring the door leading to the
street. Reaching the street. Roleau
gets two guns from his waiting
automobile, and, giving one to his
Arab assistant, they creep to the
opening of the sewer which leads
to Kitty, Frederick and their cap
tors, the apaches.
In the meantime. Blake works
his way to Kitty and Frederick. and
drawing knife, his only weapon,
demands the coin which she took
from the table of the dive. Kitty
hoping help from Roleau or the
Arab, tells him that Frederick has
the coin. Frederick looks at her in
establishment. surprised that she
would accuse him when they are
In such a.daHgerous place. Blake
and his men take Frederick a short
distance from Kitty to search him,
leaving two of their confederates to
guard her.
Roleau and the Arab on the street
above watch their chance, and as
the apaches take Frederick down
the sewer they sneak down the lad
der and are within an arms length
of Kitty when the Apaches see them
and make stab at them with
their knives. Roleau shoots the
two holding Kitty, and as the Arab
holdslthe others at bay he succeeds
in getting her to the street above.
In the fight that ensues, Frederick
tries to escape, but Blake is too
quick for him. and, making him Sc
cure, tells him he will stay there
until his men get the men.
Roleau, with Kitty, succeeds in
getting to the top just as apache
gets away from the Arab chief and
starts up the ladder after them. Not
having time to reach the car he
came in, Roleau places Kitty on the
horse she came on and, quickly
mounting the Arabs, they succeed
~ getting away. despite the shots
fired by the apaches who closely
follow them up the ladder. Blake,
coming to the street as Kitty and
Roleau make their getaway, orders
his men to give chase. Quickly
getting into Roleau's stolen car. the
two apaches follow Roleau and
Kitty.
In the sewer, Blake orders Fred
erick taken to the dive, where he is
tied and told he is to be kept a
prisoner until Kitty and Roleau are

fore them cliff some hundred feet
above the water In the car the
apaches are blind to all else but
their people ahead of them They
are going at such speed that it
would be impossible to stop the car
under sixty feet distance Seeing
this, and with the cliff only few
feet away, Roleau tells Kitty to
ride as near as she can, not
too fast, and then turn her horse in
the opposite direction.
The apaches, maddened with the
excitement of the chase. and seeing
Roleau and Kitty slow their horses
give more power to their car and
dash forward at a terrific rate of
speed. AS they are within twenty
feet of the cliff Roleau turns and
giving them the laugh. jumps his
horse over the cliff into the water.
The apaches, seeing him 90 from
sight. try to stop their car, but fail.
They 60 over after Roleau, car and
men. Roleau. realizing they cannot
help themselves, swims his horse
out Of danger as their car comes
tumbling down into the water.
Kitty. on the cliff above, sees the
awful catastrophe. and watches
them with bated breath. She sees
Roleau escape to the bank just as
the car comes down to the water,
pinning the two apaches under it.
At the dive. Frederick is still q
prisoner, while the apaches wait the
return of their men with Kitty and
the coin.
Seeing her pursuers no longer
able to follow her. Kitty huIriedly
Fejoins Roleau, and. together. they
return to GretzhOffen.
Surprised at the delay of the two
men he sent after Kitty, Blake
sends several others to locate them.
Arriving at the cliff. the apaches are
horror-stricken to see their two pals
dead under the car, with no trace
of Kitty or Roleau.
Sachio. in the meantime. is being
besieged by the diplomatic ennis
saries of Grahaffen to do something
to find the plans of their fortifica-
tions of Gretzhoffen, as their coun.
try is dissatisfied with existing con.
ditions between the two countries
and anxious to renew the war of
some fifty years before, which
would give them control of Gretz-
hoffen. Sachio realizing that the
only means of finding the plans, is
the coin. one -halfof which he knows
Kitty has and the other. as he be-
lieves, in the possession of Freder-
ick, makes up his mind quickly and
sending two men to Kitty's hotel to
try and obtain the coin from her,
goes himself with one man, to help
him, to Frederick's apartment.
Leaving few servants at the
Lodge, he starts across the desert
for Gretzhoffen.
Kitty sends the following note to
King Michael: Your Majesty:
1T may interest you to know
that Count Frederick is being held
a prisoner by a band of apaches in
their dive near the sewers in the
lower part of the city.
Follow the desert road for
