the privilege of growing up on a

PROPER Y
RING IS
DENIED
y. s. Attorney VIII Take No
Action on Alleged Real
Estate Combine

There is no real estate ring in
Washington and, therefore, grand
jury investigation is unnecessary.
Such is the decision reached by
Major Peyton Gordon, United
States District Attorney. The
special grand jury which meets
Monday will not inquire into the
real estate situation in the city,
but will devote its time to other
matters.
investigators Found ''Ring."
The alleged ring was declared to
be in existence by Edward Schirmer
and c. B. Green, who with a Govern.
ment agent, made an investigation
here for the Senate Committee on
the District Of Columbia.
Attorney Gordon is convinced that
the evidence gathered by the first
two men-the Government agent re-
fused to attach his signature to evi.
dence turned over to the Govern
ment-is not sufficient to justify
the Government to proceed in the
matter or to ask grand jury indict-
ments.
Major Gordon has made a thor.
ough STUDY Of all information turned
over to him by the Senate commit
tee. He has, in addition, secured
other information, but he is said to
be confident that it would be USE
less to take the case before a grand
jury.
Present Action Unlikely.
The real estate investigation has
been placed in the hands of Ar
thur D. Presmont, Assistant United
States District Attorney, and 1t Is
extremely unlikely that any action
will be taken at this time.
Until the Government, with the
assistance Of the Department Of
Jutice, will have gathered enough
data tending to show criminality of
such nature to justify an indict-
ment. the special grand jury will
sit in other cases, especially cases
involving violations OF the national
prohibition law.
Seven men have been chosen for
the grand jury. The sixteen other
men are expected to be selected
from 100 additional men who will
appear in court Monday and be
examined for their qualifications
as jurors.

HEALTH SCHOOL
WORK WILL
BEGIN
Long Fight Waged Against
Proposed institution on
Upshur Street

After years of agitation against
the plan, eliminating In the secur.
ing Of an injunction by group of
citizens living in the neighborhood,
the District Commissioners next
month will take the first actual
steps leading to the construction of
the proposed Health School at Four.
teenth and Upshur streets north
west.
Bids for the construction of an
eight-room building for District
school children suffering from tu-
berculosis, malnutrition and similar
troubles, will be asked by the Com.
missioners August 6.
Congress made an approximation
for the structure in 1921, allowing
$16O'O0O for the building. The Dis
trict has owned the land, adjacent
to the tuberculosis hospital there,
for years. =
Unable to Begin Work.
Owing to the bitter fight waged
against the project the Commission
ers have been unable to begin work
prior to this time. The $50, 900
appropriation has been continued in
District appropriation bills since
1921.
The health school win replace a
similar building on Bladensburg
road near Mt. Olivet Cemetery,
known as the Hamilton School.
The fight against the project,
waged by group of procSSsy own
ers whose land abutteG on the
streets facing the site was one Of
the bitterest of it's kind ever made
in the District
Attorneys were retained to assist
in the fight and finally whd1 the
opposition failed to prevent Con.
gress making an appropriation for
the school an injunction was sought
and obtained. This injunction was
based upon the failure of the APP
preparation bill to specifically desig-
nate the site for the building.
During the next two years while
the court action was pending, Con.
lgress made continuing appropria-
tions. During the past session,
however, language was Incorporated
in the measure specifically designat.
ing the land at Fourteenth and
Upshur streets as the site for the
building.
Trouble Not Expected.
Under this authority the Commits
sioners are to ask bids and let the
contract for erection of the struc.
ture. They are confident that there
will be no reopening of the fight
against the building, now that tile
legal obstacles have been removed.
Citizens held that the building Of
the school in that neighborhood,
now one Of the most populous resi-.
dental districts in the city, would
be a menace to public health. This
is denied by medical authorities.

DEFICIT
Reasonable Number Of.
Changes in Grades Possible
This Fiscal Year

Promotions of Federal em-
ployes within classification grades
are going to be decidedly conserv.
alive during the present fiscal
year.
Changes in ALLEGATION are man
datory and must be put into eff
feet, regardless of the deficits
created. A different situation
entirely, however, is found in
the matter Of promotions within
the grade.
The reason is that the budget bu-
reau is strongly opposed to the ere
alton of any deficits in departmental
appropriations caused by increased
salaries involved in promotions. Di1

1t was made clear today that tn

accept substantial leeway in est
mates for the fiscal year 1885, s.
as to allow a reasonable number q
promotions within grades ,duriI

For the current year promotion
viii be possible only through monG
available to the departmental execn
tives from lapsed salaries owing 70
designations, discharges. etc. Off
Gals today emphasized the fact that
the issue of promotions within
grades is entirely separate from the
issue of changes in ALLEGATION made
by the personnel classification board
Up to Chiefs.
Promotions within grades fall en-
tirely within the jurisdiction OF the
department chiefs themselves, and
lit was made clear today that for
the present at least the budget fac
tor is dominant in the situation.
Probably a large number of en-
ployes will have to wait for de-
served promotions because there is
not money available to put them
into effect Immediately.
There are large number of rat
ings within classification grades,
some Of them involving salary in.
creases of 800 a year at each step.
1t is recognized that there are
numerous cases wnere substantial

budget bureau is now giving con-
siderable attention to this side Of
