One OF the larger business real
estate transactions recently was
the transfer to Harry wardman Of
the property at 1888 G street

jacent TO the City Club. The con-

erty available for other business
and the sale to Harry wardman
was negotiated by James Hobbs.
This property comprises a three
story Bedford stone structure
which was erected by Harry Ward
man about a year ago. 1t Is un-

WIFE'S SIGNATURE

II you are buying real estate, have

IL you are negotiating sale for a
married man. be sure to get his
wlfe's signature.
How many real estate men know
that the ordinary form of real estate
contract cannot be enforced Is galnst
married man? By the ordinary
form OF contract we mean one s.sned
by the man and no. by his wife.
Practically speaking. the purchaser
has no redress under such a con-
tract. II the wife Of the owner.
either with or without his conni-
vance. refuses to sign the deed there
are only two things the BUYER can
do. He can sue for damages, but
he can recover none except upon the
proof that he was getting the land
for less than II was worth; or he
can take deed, signed by the hus-
band alone; In that case he will
have bad title. The result is that
he Is practically without a remedy.
In some cases when the owner
agrees TO convey real nroperty and
the title proves defective, a court
Of equity will compel him to con-
vey such title as he has at re-
duced price, allowing the purbaser
rebate on account of the defects;
when. however. a contract signed by
the owners wife no such course Is
possible, because the court is unable
to fix any value upon the wife's ex-
pectancy OF dover In her erring hus-
bands estate. II the man died, the
courts could. on a series OF legalIzed
guesswork. appraise the value uf the
widows dover interest by reference
to accepted tables of mortality, but
no court will go so far as 70 VEN
ture guess at the value OF the in
choate dover rights Of n woman who
may die before her husband. The
case of Covan VS.. Kane, 211 Ill. 572,
settle this point.
The result is that a contract for
the sale OF real esate by a married
man. but not by his wife, Is far prac-
tcal purposes no contract at all. II
The cwner wants to back out he can
do so. The purchaser will not take
the title. and in all probability the
broker who negotiated the contract
cannot recover any commissions. A
real estate agent, 1t Is true, who
procures the execution of a binding
contract. Is not ordinarily deprived
Of his commissions II the purchaser
refuses the title on account of un-
disclosed defects; but when the
agent knows the condition OF the
title. he generally takes the risk of
the faults being remedied. The
broker knows. or Is presumed to
know. that the wife's signature is
necessary to a valid conveyance.
and he cannot be said to have
to have earned his commission IL
the sale fails because she did not
sign the contract and afterward
refuses to sign the deed.
Real estate agents who wish to
DO business on a sound basis ought.
therefore, both on thief own account
and for the protection Of the parties,
TO insist upon having the contract
signed by the vendors wife as well
as by the vendor himself.-Ex-

The betterment is not confined
to yellow pine. Reports from the
Douglas fir region indicate. more
substantial volume of business, es-
pecially from the Western, farming
sections. Northern pine, hemlOck
and minor soft woods are showing
greater activity.
Prices are generally frmer. bat
few increases are reported. Red
wood is the only species in which
marked declines are noted, but
these are in scattered items of the
various species.
The principal influence in the
hardwood markets is the condition
of Southern woods. due to the flood
stage of the Mississippi and tribu-
tary rivers. Demand is increasing
as the scarcity OF logs grows and
tbe poor prospect of increasing the
supply is Recognized. Prices are
therefore tending to greater firm

old, Wallace Hughes, the son Of Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Hughes Of this city,
strayed away from home on We'd
nesday afternoon, clad in overalls
and carrying in his hand bread
and butter sandwich.
When darkness came he had not
returned. his parents in grave
alarm requested the police to throw
out a drag-net The hospitals were
called. The newspapers were noti-
fled.
And yesterday morning they found
the little boy, away over in the back
of Grant park, considerably Scared
by his first night out, with his over
alls ripped in several places and his
face bruised and hands scratched,
but happy withal and updaunted.
Darkness caught him in the park, and
he slept in the leaves, and when
morning came he set forth hungry
and homesick, but could not find MS
way back to mother.

Norma Jalmadge and Harrison Ford
N Smilin Jhrough"

1t may sound rather routine ia
say that Norma Talmadge has scored
! another screen success in her latest
starring vehicle, "Smilin' Through"
the First National attraction which
began two-day engagement at the
Rylander Theater today.
And so we must go little further
and say that "Smilin' Through" IS
positively the best thing that Norma
has yet done for the silent drama.
More than that, it is a magnificent
dramatic production in every re-
spect. 1t is a new classic of the
screen.
Norma is superb in the dual role
which she plays in her thoroughly
capable manner. She proves herself
great tragedienne as well as emo
tional actress in the part of Moon
yeen, who is killed by jealous lover
on her wedding day. She is charm

The story revolves itself around
the romance of Kathleen and young

Wyndham Standing, as John Car

give magnificent support to Miss

cast, including Alec B. Francis,

NEW YORK, May 26.-Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle recently attended his
first ghost party in America.
Ghostly voices and spirit noises
were heard-and he talked with the
shade of Madame Eusapia Palladino,
world-famous medium, tdead three
years.
The exclusive story is given here
by Sir Arthur's first contact with
spirits since his arrival in America.
The seance, which Sir Arthur describ-

the American Psychical Institute and
Laboratory in this city.
The dead Palladino apparently
talked through the lips of Nino Be-
coraro, a young Italian medium.
Spectators included Sir Arthur and

The table was placed directly in

Within the cabinet was a small ia

Outside, at the head of the large
table, the boy medium sat with his
