DISTRICT REALTORS
TOSERvE AS HOSTS
VIII Entertain Virginia Asso-
citation in Washington During
Alexandria Convention.

Elaborate plans have been made
py the Washington Real Estate Board
10 entertain the members of the Nir-
gInla Real Estate Association in
washington during their annual con-
Vention which is to be held at Alex
ahdrla October to 8, 1926.
1t is expected that a very large
number of Virginia realtors will at
tend this session, making q particu-
lar study of the territory near the
National Capital which is to be dc
fNeloped by reason of the contemplated
. Federal improvements, such as the
Arlington Memorial Bridge. The nat
ural growth Of the National Capital
which is bringing about considerable
development in nearby Virginia sub
divisions will also tend to make the
deliberations of the Virginia realtors
of particular interest to WaShingto-
mans.
The Washington Real Estate Board
has arranged for the evening of the
Sth of October an affair at the Ward
man Park Hotel for those attending
the Virginia convention and their
wives. A five-minute speaking con
test will be part of the entertainment.
This contest will be open to speakers
who desire to describe the attrac-
1iVeneSS Of their communities. Prizes
will be awarded the winners In addi-
tion to this an entertainment program
has been arranged followed by a buff
fet supper and dancing. 1t is prob
able that n member of Washington
real estate men will attend the Vir
ginia conference because of the close
connection of the development of the
National Capital and the development
of Virginia.
Unquestionably the proposed Shen-
andoah National Park, the proposed
highways from the National Capital
10 Great Falls, will come under dis
russion together with the plan to have
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission cooperate with sim
liar organizations in Maryland and
Virginia for the Identification of
Washington. Thomas j. Hundley of
Newport News is president of the

RENTS FALL 6 PER CENT IN US.
SINCE PEAK REACHED IN 1924

Rents in the United States have de-
| clined during the past two years. since
| July, 1924, when they reached their
peak, and in August of the current
| wear were nearly per cent lower
| than in July. 1924; more than per
! cent lower than in August, 1925, and
more than / per cent lower than last
! January. according to reports from
| III cities throughout the country to
the National Industrial Conference
| Board in New York.
These figures are based on quota
! tions on small houses and apartments,

! and represent an average for the coun-
! try as a whole. They take into ac-
! count rents in large as well as small
cities in the various sections, but be-
| ing national averages, do not neces-
sarily apply to any one specific To-
cality.
That the downward movement since
| August a year ago has been at a
much slower rate than during the pre-
vious II months is indicated by the
| fact that rents on the average declined
only little more than > per cent from
August, 1925, to August, 1926, while
there was an average decrease of near
! " per cent from july, iJL4, 10 Au-
/ gust, 1925. The average rents as of
August of this year were 70 per cent
| higher than in July, 1914, while rents
at their peak in July, 1924, were Sc
per cent higher than at the outbreak
of the World War.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Shots
fired at the private yacht Alopa,
on the way to meep the Crown
Prince of Sweden at Newport, R..
l., presumably by a rum boat
chaser, have been made the sub
jeet of a protest to Washington,
while alleged promiscuous firing by
a coast guard paDrol boat at Mi
ami, Fla, is under investigation.
The Alopa, large square-rigged
craft, owned by Arthur Curtiss
James, New York, was fred upon
yesterday while en- 1oute to New
: York, one shot crossing the bow
: and a second narrowly missing the
bow watchman. The shots came
from an unseen vessel on the
shoreward side, but after an officer
of the Alopa had called out its
identity, the yacls. proceeded with
out further hindrance.
The firing by coast guard petrol
boat number 297, which was re-
ported last Saturday, is being in
vestigased by coast guard officials.
A score or more of shots were
fred by the patrol boat as it chas-
ed a liquor-laden motor boat, a
bend in the river between the two

the fashionable Fort Dallas Park
quarter in direct line of fire. The
Dade county grand jury, which in

SENATE INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE RS
OTHER TESTIMONY IN
CASE.


WASHINGTON, June 16.-
Harry A. Mackey, of Philadelphia.
who organized the successful
campaign of Representative Ware
for the republican senatorial
nomination in Pennsylvania, and
is proud of it, today faced cross
examination at the hands of
Chairman Reed, of the senate i'm
vestigating committee.
Giving his direct testimony
yesterday, he told the committee,
which thus far has heard that the
campaign cost Representative
Ware, Senator Pepper and Gov.
Pinchot and the organizations
supporting their tickets nearly
$2,0O0,O00, that "the debauchery
of votes is unknown in Pennsyl-
vania" and there is no such thing
as buying votes"
Further inquiry into the wet
and dry phase of the campaign,
which has been touched upon only
briefly thus far during the inves-
tigation, is contemplated by the
committee. Instead of support
ing Ware, the wet candidate, as
charged by the anti-saloon league,
the liquor interests" Mackey
said, were lined up behind Pepper
bcause ''the bootleggers and
brewers" were thriving under the
Volstead act"
While Mackey was thus cor
roborating previous testimony by
Ware, Chairman Reed decided to
invite William B. Wilson, former
Secretary of Labor and democratic
candidate for the senate seat.
Wilson is dry, and Mackey, es-
timating that three-fourths of
the Pennsylvania democrats are
wet, expects Ware to gain demo-
cratic votes on this count.
Wares manager also told the
committee, in his direct testimony,
why cash instead of checks were
used by the campaign headquar-
ters.
Mecl ey described it rs a strate-
getic n assure, since, if checks had
been used, Pittsburgh banks
lined up with Mellon interests"
in support of the Pepper ticket
could nave "tIgpd off" the sena-
tors "a. p, ign IS - to the plans
of Wares forces.

F r E N c Fl SITUATION BE-

ING RESIGNATION OF FL
NANCE MINISTER

PARIS, June 16.-After the
customary criticism President
Doumergue will call upon Aristide
BRAND to form a new ministry to
take the place of that which gave
up its portfolios yesterday follow
ing the resignation of Finance
Minister Peret, by reason of his
inability to disentangle the
snarled skein of finance left by
the war.
On this, there is no question,
but whether Premier BRAND would
be able or willing to do so was
not so certain today. In any case,
it was not likely this morning that
a new ministry could be COM
pleted before Saturday and it is
understood that the plan of Presi-
dent Doumergue and NJ. BRAND to
make trip to London next Tues
day on visit of state will be
postponed.
NJ BRAND recognized the gen
eral desire for a ministry repre-
senting all the political parties.
1t is understood that if NJ.
BRAND accepts the invitation of
President Doumergue to form
cabinet, he. will invite Edouard
Perriot, socialist, and former
Premier Poincare first of all to
JON the ministry.
