ATS BRONX LOTS TO
Be SOLD ON BLOCK
j. P. Day Will Offer Parcels
for Watson Estate on Tues
day, September 27.

The auction event of the week in The
Bronx will be the sale OF ATS lots for
the estate of Israel Watson by Joseph
p. Day on Tuesday noon in the Vesey
Street Exchange. The properties are In
the Eastchester section. on both sides OF
Eastchester avenue, and on Mace and
Waring avenues. The land has been
known for some time as Parkmont. In
view of the local tax exemption on
houses and flats built within the next
two years, taken together with the fact
that the Watson estate lots will un-
doubtedly bring low prices. Mr.. Day
regards the outlook for buyers at this
sale as extremely rosy.
1.-The tax exemption and low lot prices
form a combination that Is hard to
beat" he says The sale of such large
areas as the Watson estate means the
release of large sums Of frozen capital
and the removal Of barriers to the
healthy growth and progressive devel-
OF important sections.
"The Watson estate In the East Bronx
Is a fine example of just such barrier,
because OF its lengthy frontage on and
control over the future Of such i'm
portant thoroughfares as Eastchester
road. Mace and waring avenues. Held
by the heirs Of an old estate having no
inclination to attempt It's development,
this property would remain indefinitely
a barrier to the growth of the East
chester section. Distributed among a
large number of prospective home build
ers, the Watson estate lots take on a
very different character and as indi-
vidual holdings, are brought Immediately
into line with the sections available for
quick development"
On Wednesday evening. October 8.
Mr.. Day will sell in the Brooklyn Ex-
change. 1s9 Montague street. ninety-six
lots and one dwelling on the Shore road.

ALLIES FEEL
WORRIED OVER
THE STAND
From French Circles 1t Is
Intimated That the Note
Insists That Approval of
the United States is Nee
essary for Final Settle
ment of War Problems

Washington, d, c., April 6.-New
notes on the subject of mandates have
been sent by the American government
to the governments of Japan, Great
Britain, France and Italy.
The notes are understood to be sim
liar but the occasion for preparing
them is said to be the receipt of ia
pans reply to the original American
note protesting against the japanese
mandate over the former German is
lands in the Pacific, north of the equa
tor.
State department officials refused to
discuss the documents, but it was
learned that they were broad enough
in terms to cover all American rights
growing out of the World war.
The notes form part OF the series
begun by Secretary Colby and in which
the United States insisted upon its
full rights as an allied and associated
power and also the right to pass finally
upon all mandates before their adop-
tion.
Mr., Colby's notes were addressed to
The principal allied powers, and sub
sequently a copy of them with an ap-
pendix dealing specifically with the
Japanese con1'olleti Island of Yap in
the Pacific ocean was sent to the league
of nations council at Geneva. The coun-
sci in turn transmitted the document
TO the allied governments with the ex-
planation that the mandate for zap
fhad been granted by the supreme coun-
Gil
The latest American communications
prepared by Secretary Hughes, were
dated April and by this time have
reached the four governments to which |
they were addressed. All information
as to whether or when theyiwould be
made public was withheld to-day at

Fair Haven, who il on trial for muir
der as result largely of story told
by his daughter, Madeline, Is years OF
age, heard the girl declare on the wit
ness stand to-day that her story was
untrue.
Longe is charged with the murder
of Owen Hayes, whose body was found
in the Castleton river at Faiy Haven
on Oct. /. last. Longe was arrested
two months later after he had caused
the arrest of Louis Bishop, a middle
aged neighbor, because of his alleged
relations with the Longe girl. The
girl visited Bishop in Jail and the prs-
oner informed the authorities that she
had told him of Incidents related by
her father which tended to connect
Longe with the killing Of Hayes
On the stand to-day the child who
has embraced her father repeatedly
since his arrest, testified that the stor-
les which she had repeated both to
the attorney general and the grand
jury were lies, that the statements
were not made to her by her father,
but by Bishop. The latter is now an
inmate of the insane asylum at Wa
terbury.
Medical experts for the prosecution
yesterday testified that the death of
Hayes was apparently due TO drown

he was killed by blow on the head
