ZONE RATING URGED.
IN SALE CONTRACTS.
Taliaterro Suggests Step to
Eliminate MiSunderStand-
ing by Owners.

Inclusion of the coming classification
of property in all real eSate sales con-
tracts ana certificates of title was adj
vocateo today BY District Commissioner
Sidney F. Taliaferro member or the
2oning Commission, as means OF
avoiding uncertainty. disputes and per-
hapS litigation.
Commissioner Taliaferro said he had
heard statements made repeatedly in
public hearings of the 2oning Commits
sion which indicated that property own
crs either had misunderstood or had
been miSinformed as to the coming
status of their real estate although this
information Is almost of equal impor-
lance to the purchaser OF land as the
condition of the title.
Status Misunderstood.
MIR Tsliaferro made known his views
on this subject In a prepared statement
which he issued to the District Building
newspaper reporters. 1t follows:
Persons appearing before the ZoninG
Commission of the District OF Column
bia frequently are heard to say that
they purchased real estate with the
understanding that Ii wae zoned for q
certain character of use and later dis
covered that they were misinformed. or
frequently state that they purchased
real estate under the impression or
understanding that 1t was going To be
changed within short while to some
coming classification which would make
II more valuable than the classification
existing At the time Of their purchase.
These are usually loose expressions
which probably have little foundation,
and it is. Of course. impossible for any
person TO guarantee what changes in
coming may be made from time to time
BY the Zoning c, mmision. However.
the incidents referred to suggest the
possibility. and. perhaps. the desirable
ity Of some amendment and additions
to the usual sales agreement respecting
real estate. and TO the certificate issued
by real estate title companies.
Laws respecting the coming Of real
estate which give to the designated
authorities power to specify or limit
the heigh' of buildings. the character of
occupancy and the area OF occupancy
this country but the fundamental prin-
ciples of such laws have been tested and
sustained by the courts Of several
States and by the Supreme Court of the
United States. Heretofore 1t has been
the effort OF q would-be purchaser of
real estate TO make sure that he OBJ

that the property Is free If incum-

also as TO any covenants running with

strict the enjoyment of the property by

VOICE FROM DEAD
MAY Save Mooney
Alfred Spink's Affidavit Intro

Chicago, June 4.7Pl-A voice

1t was an affidavit bearing the sig
nature of Alfred H. Sphinx. a sports
writer, who died last week. 1t set
forth that the preparedness day
parade bombing in San Francisco
July %, 1916. in which II persons
were killed was plotted and executed,
not by Mooney. who was found
guilty OF it, but by agents OF the
German government.
The federation OF labor, by resolu-
ton yesterday. voted to seek
Moneys release. using the new
document as the basis for action.
The thread on which the Sphinx
affidavit spins the suggestion of alb.
solution for Mooney winds back to
the ante Bellum days when Mr.. and
Mrs, Sphinx made their home In Oak
land. Cal. Mrs. Sphinx, who was a
German, became friendly with Mr..
and Mrs. Powell Mertz, neighbors,
who the affidavit said, we're reputed-

On the day of the preparedness
parade in San Francisco Mrs. Sphinx

information to himself until the

davit.

REPUBLICANS FACE
MANY DISPUTES
National Committee Assumes
Role Of the PeaCemaker

Kansas City, Mo-. June Up
Setting out to put their house in
order tor the national convention
next week. republican leaders here
today were confronted with series
OF family disputes over who should
have say in the selection Of the
party's presidential nominee.
1t fell to the national committee
to assume the role of Judge and
peace maker with disputes over %
OF the 1859 convention seats de-
handing its attention.
At the call OF Chairman Butler,
men and women members of the
committee have assembled for the
commencement OF hearings which
were expected to take up much of
the week. Their decisions, which
may have an important bearing on
the final choice of a. nominee, are
subject TO review in the event any
of those who lose out press their
claims before the convention ere
dentlals committee, to be named
next week.
SoutHcfll disputes
The democratic south, always a
FERTILE field for factional strife
among republicans seeking control
of The party machinery in that sec
ton, again had furnished the ma
tional committee with most of its
troubles. All the contests to be adj
Indicated during the week are from
southern states, except one involving
the two delegates from the non
voting island of Porto Rico.
The contests attracting the most
attention from party leaders are
those from Louisiana, Mississippi
and Texas. where the entire deesa-
lions are in dispute. and from
Florida whore nine of the ten con-
Nentlon seats have been the subject
of bitter controversy.
IN addition, the national com
mltfee had on its hands disputes in
NolNlng three district delegate seats
from Georgia, two from Kentucky,
and one from Tennessee with ex-
pectatlons that contests for six other
seats-the four at large from South
Carolina and two from the third
Tennessee district-would not be
pressed.
Recall 1871.
Veteran party leaders, who could
recall wildly the heated battle over
convention seats in 1912 when Taft
and Roosevelt We're at odds and The
effect IT had In splitting wide open
the party convention then. were
quick today to realize the bearing
the committees decision might have
this year Fewer contests were filed
than in 1912 and many other past
presidential years, but for the most
part they are closely allied with the
candidacy Of Herbert Hoover and
conceivably might contribute to his
nomination or failure to muster the
necessary convention strength to 20
over.

could be no speculation and some
preliminary maneuvering but not
much more regarding candidates..
