OF HEART ATTACK
Family One of Oldest in City.
Given Decoration for
War Work.

Mrs. william Corcoran Hill, former
ly Miss Sallie Phenix, a member of one
of the oldest families in Washington
died suddenly of a heart attack yes
terday about noon, at her home, 1902
Eighteenth street. She was the widow
of william Corcoran Hill, prominent
real estate operator here for many years
and q granddaughter of w. w. Corcoran,

CIVIL SERVICE GROUP
HITS LEHLBACH BILL
Declares Measure Fails to Meet
Needs Of Employes-Indorse
Brookhart Plan.

Opposition to the Lehlbach nav bill
was voted by the League of the Ameri-
can Civil Service, meeting last night at
the Powhatan Hotel.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that the Lehlbach measure fails to
meet the needs of the employees" and
that suitable legislation cannot be en-
acted at the present session Of Con-
gress."
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins worrell.
league president. spoke against the
measure, declaring that Government
employees would benefit more from the
new bill which Senator Breokhart, Re-
publican, of Iowa, is preparing to abol-
iSh the Personnel Classification Board
and set up a new Board of Arbitration
and Appeals. This bill Is to be offered
in the next Congress Mrs. Worrell also
defended Controller General McCarl in
his Interpretation Of the WEIGH act.
Charles M. Galloway. counsel for the
league, raped the efficiency system
and declared the authority of the Per-
sonnet Classification Board should be
transferred to the Civil Service Com
mission
Members of the league said they
would rather have nothing at all than
what the Lehlbach bill would offer.
Last nights action was in conform
ity with the stand previously taken by
the league.

division of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards at the recent con-
vention at Birmingham, Ala, will be Of
great helpfulness both to the public and
to realtors, In the opinion of Harry M.
Seldom, Detroit, new chairman of the
division.
This consultation bureau service,
which the division is organizing, will
undertake upon request to investigate
any proposed urban or suburban sub
division and. If such proposed develop
ment fulf1llS the standards set up by
the national association, it will be ap-
proved by the bureau committee and a
certificate issued to that effect, he ex-
planned at the convention session. He
said:
People have lost much money in
poorly developed projects and this nat
urally reacts on well developed prop
erty. because the layman has no means
of differentiating between good and
poor development. A certificate for a
subdivision, while 1t would not guar
antee the purchasers investment, would
signify that the property is carefully
developed project and should under
normal conditions prove a satisfactory
investment. Such a service will con-
tribute much to the orderly development
of our cities"

CHICAGO POLICE SEEK
CRIMINALS WITH RECORDS
Success in Previous Raids Inspires
Authorities to Push War
on Vice Haunts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February Encouraged
by success of the two previous week end
raids, police today were securing the
city for suspicious persons and GRIM
inals with records.
So confident are authorities that the
raids are proving deterrent to crime
that they have made them a regular
weekly routine.
Their belief was borne out, Commits
Sioner Russell said, by the unusually
small number of suspects trapped in the
raids last night. Only about 100 per-
sons were under arrest today, against
about 1000 taken in the two preceding
drives.
The largest single number of arrests
in this latest drive was made in the
Stanton avenue district, where IA were
seized.

Lost Foot of Land
I'm New York Causes
Many Complications
Building Project in New
York Delayed Until
Owner Is Located.
Tribulations and wearisome complica-

Tribulations and wearisome complica-
lions sometimes attendant upon the as
sembling of a site for large construc-
ton project in great urban centerS is
strikingly illutrated in the case of the
recently completed PrintartS Building in
New York, in which an extended and
costly search had to be made for the
owners of lost" foot of land in the
site, according to On account appearing
! in the Detroit News.
When the plot was assembled, it was
| found that the lots stretched along the
street for 127 feet, but that when the
frontages of the lots were added it
amounted to but 126 feet, it is recalled.
Somewhere in the plot there was a
front foot of land that had not been
paid for, and. of course, the building
project could not be carried on with the
narrow strip of unowned property in
the middle Of the site.
Lone Foot Is Left.
after an investigation it was found
that in 1867 one Joseph Molinet, New
York tailor bought 80 feet of the
/ property for investment" 1t is recalled.
"A short time later he was given an
attractive offer for so feet of his prop
erty and he sold it. Then through an
error in the deeds description of the
plot only 20 feet of the remaining 80
were sold to another party, thus leav-
ing one foot in the hands of Molinet'S
heirs after he died in 1876.
Samuel B. Pollak and Abraham Lii
lienthal, the lawyers for the Magoba
Construction Co., which was wait
ing to erect the Printarts Building,
searched the records of the Surrogate's
Court without avail There appeared to
be no trace of the heirs of Joseph
Molinet. Finally Mr.. Pollak turned to
the marriage license records and found
the name of a Molinet girl who had
been married some years ago. Through
her the family was traced"
Smallest Partition Suit.
1.-THE construction company bought a
one-third-second share in the foot of
land from one of the heirs, and thus
was enabled to bring the smallest parti-
ton suit in the history of the New York
courts. There were 81 defendants
scattered all over the country, and
several in distant cities could only
be found by being advertised against,
when the case was ready to be heard

industrial building was acquired at
cost OF about $1,000, not to mention the
legal expense and time involved"

GILCHRIST SAYS
WAR BECOMES
LESS CRUEL

The prediction of many OF the
Nations leading thinkers that
science will achieve world peace
by making war too horrible for
.any nation to engage in it, is
/ disputed by Maj. Gen. H. L. Gil
christ, chief of the army chemi-
bal warfare service.
b The discoveries Of science, he
Neclares, have already made war
less horrible. This will be true
In the future despite the efforts
of scientists to invent new gases
to kill and new bombs to destroy,
General GilchriSt asserts.
In support Of this statement,
he asserts that figures show the
fWorld War was less deadly than
sEhe American Civil War fought
more than a half century ago,
! when high explosive shell, poison
/ gas and airplaneS were still und1S-
! covered weapons.
"I am inclined to believe that
the way to peace is not through
tmaking war horrible" said Gen.
eral Gilchrist. I'm fact, I am in
!. clined to think that any war of
tomorrow will not be more hor-
rible than those of the past.
Wars of ancient days were inf
nitely more terrible than those
of recent times, and yet wars
have continued as instruments Of
national policy.
Improvements in weapons
have tended to reduce the per-
centage of deaths on the field
of battle, and the laws of war
have given increasing protection
to non-combatants.
History proves beyond doubt
, that with the improvements in
methods of warfare mortality and
suffering have been lessened. In
the World War we had poison
gas, airplanes, machine guns, and
! various forms Of high explosives
, which theoretically might EXTERN
mate any army, but careful
survey of the casualties shows
! that the loss of life proportion
ate to the number engaged was
! not nearly as large as in our
own Civil War"
