..CH|CAGO REAL ESTATE
men ARE NOT W0RR|E D

The Chicago Tribune of June / 3 re-
ports interviews with real estate
agents relative to the probable effect
OF prohibitin upon properties. the
Tribune says that the agents, both
those handling down town properties
and those handling suburban proper
ties, agreed that it will be easy to rent
rooms vacated by saloons. 1t quotes
John r. Magill, of Magill Co, as
saying.
1T is easily explained All down
town Chicago has changed in the last
few years. Ten years ago the saloons
held the best corners. AS drinking
went out of fashion the saloons be-
came tucked in at various points in
the blocks. The quick lunch restau-
rants paid as much to the owner and
the cigar stores paid more. Our ex-
perience is that of every other firm.
Those saloons whose licenses expired

glad to go out of business rather than
face the hazard of an expensive lease,
and soft drink place TO earn from.
A number of places are to continue

quitting the business. the agents say.
The Schlitz Brewing company owns

United States. All are offered for sale.
the agents say and add that the mar
ket isn't depressing real estate values.
Continuing, Mr.. Magill said:
downtown Chicago is in need of
space and 1t will expand so II is ma
tural to expect it to take all the space

]. 5. CONDEMNS LAND
ADJOINING CAMP lee

Hiram Smith, United States attorney
tor the Eastern district OF Virginia,
yesterday in the United States distric:
court, instituted condemnation pro-
ceedings preparatory to possession by
the federal government of 92.76 acres
of property at Camp Lee not already
owned by the government.
This property was taken over by the
military authorities under the provis-
ions of an act OF congress of July :,
1917, which, among other things, pro-
vided that THE secretary of war may
cause proceedings to be instituted in
the name OF the United States in any
court having jurisdiction of such pro-
ceedings for the requirement by con-
domination of any land. temporary use
thereof. or other interest therein or
right pertaining thereto needed for the
site, location, construction or prosecu-
tion OF war for fortificatie<fs, coast de-
lenses and military farming camps and
that when such property ia acquired in
time OF war or the imminence thereof
upon the filing OF a petition for the
condemnation OF any land temporary
use thereon or other interest therein
or right pertaining thereto to be ac-
auired for any OF the purposes afore-
said. immediate possession thereof may
be taken to the extent OF the interest
to be acquired and the lands may be
occupied and used for military pur-
poses
The petition set forth that repre-
sentatives of the government have
made an effort to agree with those en-
titled to the said land and other prop
erty upon terms of purchase, but have
been unable to agree upon the price
and terms OF purchase. thus rendering
condemnation proceedings necessary
and proper.
Petition was filed in accordance with
the request OF the secretary OF war.
who has certified that II is necessary
and advantageous 10 the interests OF
the United states to acquire the afore-
said lands.

GLASS is MENTIONED
FOR GVERNORSHTP

Carter Glass. secretary Of the
treasury may become a candidate in
the Democratic primary of 1921, for
the governor Of Virginia, according
to report.
Although Mr. Glass has net recently
expressed himself with regard to his
possible candidacy, IT has been gem
orally believed for several years that
the Lynchhurg man would not mind
assuming the office OF chief executive
OF the state There are some who
would have ii that. as the time APP
proaches for the 1921 election. this
belief grows stronger.
Should Mr., Glass enter the contest
have as his opponent Lieutenant
Governor r. Frank buchanan. AL
though II has been currently reported
for sometime that Attorney General
John II. Saunders would make the
race. he has not as yet been induced
to commit himself in the matter.
While a candidate for the ONCE of
attorney general as vet has not made
his appearance, II IL said that 1t Is
not i'm possible that Hugh A. White.
tho defeated opponent Of the incum-
bent in the last election, will again
make the race. II is thought that ne
may he opposed by the assistant at
torney general, Josiah D. Hank, Jr..
in the event Colonel Saunders offers
for governor. Mr. Hank however.
has not expressed himself in the mat
ter.

made their hits count heavily in the

Averill had allowed only one hit

the First National boys climbed

hits count for six runs. Although he
struck out thirteen men the sseservists
could not hit. making only Ave in nine

game. causing eleven of Uncle Sans

The fielding of Mac Pitt was the
outstanding feature OF the game, and
he nipped several efforts at a batting

throwing to the bases. Wharton and
Hunt were each credited with twelve
