.HAY-ADAMS HOUSE
SUIT Is DISMISSED
Appeals Court Upholds Lower
Bench in Dropping Action of
John q. Gardiner.

The District Court Of Appeals in an
opinion by Chief Justice George E. Mar
tin yesterday affirmed the action of the
District Supreme Court, which had dis
missed suit by John u Gardiner,
owner of s1,4O0 worth Of notes, secured
on the leasehold interest in the Hay
Adams House. at Sixteenth and H
streets, against the Washington Loan g.
Trust Co. and the Union Trust Co.
The latter company had been named as
trustee under a deed of trust securing
loan of 100000 made by the Wash
ington Loan & Trust Co. to Mrs. Alice
Hay WadsWorth, owner Of the fee to
the land.
Mrs. Wadsworth had leased the prop
erty May /, 1925. to Wardman, Bones
& Hobbs for 80 years. with an option
to purchase for 5000 600 within 20 years.
After erecting the building, costing be-
tween 100000 and s1,00o,ooo, Ward
man and his associates, July %. 1927,
decided to exercise the option Of pur-
chase. Mrs Wadsworth executed two
deeds. one securing a loan of $500. 900
to the washington Loan g. Trust Co.,
and the other transferring the prop
erty. subject to that loan, to trustees
representing Wardman and his associ-
ates.
Gardiner contended the purchase by
the lesseeS of the fee to the land oper-
ated as merger and that the ground
rent was extinguished and that Ward
man. Bones & Hobbs became the legal
owners. subject only to the trust for
$780, 900. which they had placed on the
leasehold interest when erecting the
building, of which the notes of Gardiner
formed a part.
In affirming the dismissal Of the suit
the court held that the money was bor-
rowed from the Washington Loan &
Trust Co., and the arrangement effec-
t1ally prevented a merger of the fee
and leasehold interests, for a merger Of
such states will not be permitted when
it would destroy the rights of bona
fide lienholder. who had taken lien on
the fee before its conveyance to the
lessees.

u. s. LOSES RULING
. ON MINERAL CLAIM
Atlanta Company's Appeal in
Wilbur Action Upheld by
Van OrsdeI.

The Chestatee Pyrites q Chemical
Co. of Atlanta yesterday won In the Dis
trict of Columbia Court Of Appeals a
reversal Of the decision OF the District
Supreme Court dismissing its petition
to compel Ray Lyman Wilbur. Secretary
of the Interior, to comply with decree
Of the court to make final adjustment
Of the company's claim for compensa-
ton and interest claimed to be due for
its losses in connection with the produc-
tion OF minerals for use Of the Govern
ment during the World War.
The lower tribunal had accepted the
answer Of Secretary Wilbur that the law
places limitation to pay obligations
for interest after March 2, 1919, and
that he had conformed to this ruling in
making his allowances and that his de-
termination amounted to a finding OF
fact and not of law. The lower CO. =.
then dismissed the petition and the
company appealed
In an opinion by Justice Josiah A.
Van Orsdel the appellate tribunal de,
clared it was not impressed with this
contention that the ruling Of the Secs
retary amounted merely to the deters
mination of an issue OF fact. The stop.
ping of interest involved legal con-
struction of the mineral act. and his
conclusion reached was a conclusion Of
law and not of fact. Justice Van Orsdel
ruled. The District Supreme Court has
the jurisdiction to review the action of
the Secretary on points of law. 1t Is
stated.
The court finds the company had
borrowed the money in question and 1t
had been lost and not paid on March 2,
1919 and was not then due.
The company. however. was under
obligation to pay the principal and also
the interest incurred in the creation Of
the obligation. Since the principal has
been allowed. and its allowance approved
by the court, We see no reason why q
similar allowance should not be made
for the interest incurred prior to the
passage of the 1919 act and accrued at
the time of the payment Of the princi-
pal debt to the company by the Gov
eminent" Justice Van Orsdel said

ST. JOHNS, Observation-Disclosures
foundland's capital was quiet today
under the watchful eyes of $50 special
police as citizens awaited political
changes expected to result from recent
riots against the government OF Sir
Richard Squires.
Sir Richard, who disappeared when
the fury of 10000 rioters seemed to
menace his life Tuesday night, slipped
back into the Colonial Building last
evening under the cover of the special
police officers, who had been quickly
recruited from among former service
men md other civilians. An additional
$50 special officers were ready for i'm
mediate duty today should they be
needed.
Declines to Talk.
The minister was driven to the door
of the Colonial Building as darkness
was settling. Once inside, he declined
to make any statement as to where he
had been or what he may intend to DO.
Peter CaShin, former finance min
lister. who made charges of Justification
against the prime minister two months
ago. said he understood Sir Richard had
agreed to submit his resignation or dis
solve the Assembly within 48 hours.
The Cashin charges were the first OF a
s2ries of developments leading to the
demonstration against the premier.
Proposal was made by Sir Richards
political fees that a national govern
ment heaCe6 by F. c. Alderdice, oppo-
sition leader, be set up. Alderdice
said he knew nothing of such plan.
Premier's Cheek Bruised.
The city quieted down late yester-
day after the serious outbreak of the
night before, during which liquor stores
were raided. A riot at the central
liquor store yesterday was put down
when Cashin told the crowd he under
stood a change in the leadership of the
government was but matter OF hours.
Sir Richard afforded but a quick
view of himself as he entered his office,
but there was a bruise on his right
cheek-a memento of Tuesday nights
disorders, from which he had narrow
escape. Otherwise he showed no sign
of injury.
