While realty transactions in the
Pity and county during the last few
months have been light, involving
zonly smaller properties, dealers in
he city anticipate large number
zof sales during the coming weeks.
During January and February the
plumber of deeds filed daily was
Slightly below the record for 1917,
but it is believed that the total for
ast year during March and April
zwill be almost equaled this spring.
Some of the sales will probably
8 ne brought about by the decrease in
building operations while n number
sof other transfers are anticipated
because of the large number of es-
ates which will probably be settled
+ " administrators and executors.
A Big Grant
Probably one of the most import
mt business section transfers to be
recorded during the past few days
vas the grant from Samuel Fishman
the city. \ few months ago an
'greement was made by city Off
ials with Mr.. Eishman in which it
vas stipulated that in return for q
trip of ground 105 by 81 feet at the
Orner of Fourth and Chestnut
treets, a small alley beside the Null
berry street bridge, and the end of
'herry would be closed and Mr..
1 '1shman would be given permission
o erect q building fronting on the
bridge. The deed which was filed
ontained the grant from Mr.. Fish
nan and will result in widening
hestnut street at the bridge ap-
)roach eliminating one of the dan
Ferous curves there.
Three other property transactions
which are of interest at present are
hose involving the taking of the
properties in the Hardscrabble dis
riot, the viewers hearings on the
aking of properties in Fifth and in
walnut streets by the city school
board, and the report of awards of
damages to properties involved in
s he construction of the Second and
'front.' street subways at Mulberry
street, and the closing of Third
treet, Meadow Lane and other high
Nays.
Experts Give Opinion
In all of these proceedings a num-
er of realty experts of tn city have
cen called to give estimates of the
alue of properties in the districts
i n question.
An unusual feature now to be,
ettled in connection with the Hard
crabble improvement will be the
J rial of suits by the city against
owners on the east side of Front
treet, for benefits which will result
rom the wrecking of the buildings

GENE RAJ DEBATE
IS CONT |NUED ON
REVENUE MEASURE


Washington, Sept. 11.--WhiIe the
house continued general debate today
on the revenue measure, leaders ar
ranged to begin real work Friday.
The new bill urged by Secretary Ms
Adoo to facilitate sale of Liberty
Bonds by making a larger amount of
these bonds held in individual hands
exempt from income surtaxes, will
come up then.
Majority Leader Kitchin estimated
that the new bond legislation prob
ably would reduce the revenue yield
about $5O,000,000 No revision had
been planned, he said, to make up for
the loss. The ways and means com
mittee considered this measure today
and with prospects of little or no OPP
position the committee expects to pass
the bond bin Friday, under an ar
rangement made for cooperation by
senate leaders.
AS proposed by Mr.. McAdoo, instead
of the present law exempting from in.
come surtaxes bonds up to $4,000
owned by any individual or corpora
ton, the new bill would exempt $780,
600 of the new, fourth loan and $45,-
600 of the second and third issues or
the converted securities of the first
issue.
Speech making in the house dragged
along, with not more than fifty mem
bers in attendance. The speeches in
the main were patriotic. interjeeted
with severe criticism of the bills pro-
visions, although members said they
would support it and that the country
would bear the tax burden cheerfully.

With the French Armies in France,
Tuesday, Sept. 10 (by the Associated
Press Prisoners recently captured
by the French have thrown light on
the work of destruction undertaken
by the retreating Germans with the
and of extremely slow fuses that pro-
Guce an explosion of mines days and
even weeks after the Teutons have
evacuated localities. The same sys-
tenn that destroyed Chateau Bethan-
court to the west of Guiscord Septem-
ber 6, and the cathedral at Nesle
shortly afterward, was used freely at
Ham and Noyan and is being utilized
Iy the Germans in preparation for
the destruction of villages north and
northeast of Rheims.
Prisoners who worked with de-
tachment of pioneers placing mines
under church pillars in that region
say the Germans are making ready
to raze all the towns to the ground.
Traps are being laid by use of the
same system in the forest of st. Go
lain and In the region of Laon, while
ell the cross roads in those regions,
according to the eaptives, are being
heavily mined. Some of these prepa-
rations for wholesale destruction are
behind the Hindenburg line.

Washington, Sept 11.--News of the
torpedoeing of the British liner Per.
sic, with $500 American troops on
board, In the war zone September 6
was given to the American people to-
day, first through the British admir-
atty and then later through the navy
department. All the soldiers were res
cued by accompanying destroyers. the
steamer itself was beached and the
enemy submarine Is believed to have
been accounted for.
Officials here viewed the result as
an allied success more than a disaster
The fact that the steamer was torped-
oed when endeayoring to overtake
the conveyed fleet of transports af-
ter overcoming engine trouble in
dicated that submarine commanders
still are fearful of attacking troop-
ships In convoy. And the immediate
and completely successful assistance
rendered by destroyers was taken as
additional evidence that the convoy
ing system is practically perfect.
First word of the attack on the
Persic. 1t was learned officially, reach
ed the navy department on the night
of Sept. 6 in a brief dispatch from
Vice Admiral Sims, although navy
officials had emphatically denied in
the interim that any important news
of submarine activities were being
withheld Il was understood that the
BrittAh admiralty expressed the re-
quest shas @S.eg Is pemltted to an
nounce the news of the attack
Rumors Current at Capitol,
Rumors that a troop ship had been
sunk probably with heavy loss of life,
have been current in Washington
since the publication of what evident
ly was an inspired London dispatch
stating that allied naval circles had
reason to believe that German sub
marines soon would concentrate their
efforts in an attempt to impede the
steady flow of American soldiers over
seas. No explanation of the purpose of
this article could be obtained, how
ever, from naval officials here.
Attacks on troop ships by subma-
rines constantly are expected by Of
ficials and 1t may be that a new and
more determined campaign has been
determined upon by the Germans be-
cause OF the reverses suffered by their
armies. The greatest possible protec-
tion is afforded troop ships and this
increases as the American naval forces
in the war zone are added to by new
construction in American yards.
The record achieved by the Amer
lean and allied navles of transporting
more than 100000 American SOL
diers overseas with the loss of only
POI of them still is considered mira
culous And it is accepted by naval
officers as testifying as to the success
of the convoy system.
