CITY LOSES FIGHT
OVERLAND VALUE
Court ReverSeS Decree
Against Home for Incur
abIes and Others.

Holding evidence of the price paid
for nearby properties is admissible
under proper conditions in condem-
nation cases, the District Court OF
Appeals today reversed a District
Supreme Court decree against the
Washington Home for Incurables and
tour other parties.
The appeal was taken by the Home
for Incurables, Robert Sterrett, Henry
Hatch, Dent Sterrett and William D.
Sterrett. They were represented by
Attorney Stanton c. Peelle. The ap-
peal was directed against the Dis
trtct Commissioners.
The land in question IS in Cleve-
land Park and was condemned to
permit the opening of an extension
of Idaho avenue between Rodman and
Tilden streets; Thirty-seventh street
between Quebec and Upton streets;
Tilden street between Wisconsin ave-
nue. and Reno road, and the widening
Of Reno road.
The condemnation jury awarded
the Home for Incurables $l1 1,03l6l
OF about 20 cents a square foot. The
lower court refused to admit testi-
mony that the District government
had paid so cents a foot for adjoin-
ing property it purchased for school
playground at a private sale. The
Court Of Appeals held this testimony
should have been admitted.

Telephone APPEAL
ARGUMENT OPENS
Counsel for Company Contends
Public Utility Commission
Order Illegal.

Arguments were begun before JUS
tice Jesse C. Adkins in District Su-
preme Court today on the appeal of
the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. from an order of the Public Util-
tiles Commission in September, 1882,
for a 10 per cent rate reduction.
R. A. Van Orsdel, general counsel
for the telephone company, contended
the reduction order was illegal because
the Public Utilities Commission failed
to set up the finding that existing
rates were unjust and unreasonable.
Evidence in the case was heard by
Justice Adkins last month. The ap-
peal was filed shortly after issuance
of the P. U. c. order.
The commissions side of the case
will be presented by Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel William A. Roberts
and George P. Hoover will close the
company's argument.

COLD BATH ENTHUSIAST NEARLY
DROWNS in TIDAL BASIN FALL

A narrow escape from drowning in
the Tidal Basin was described today
as "a marvellous experience" by the
near-victim, DR.. Alfredo Warsaw, 76-
year-old natureopath and singer, who
hastened to explain he always takes q
cold bath every day, anyway.
DR.. Warsaw, who lives at 1901 Wyo-
ming avenue, took his unscheduled
bath" Saturday while singing on the
boat used by the judges Of the Cherry
Blossom regatta.
II had just finished singing Won
drous Youth and Face Without q
Smile,'" said DR.. Warsaw, who once
was q member Of the old-tine Ham
merstein Opera Company. MY part
in the regatta was over and I was
about to step aboard a speedboat,
which was going to take me ashore,
when I>slipped.
"I'm pretty good swimmer ordi-
narily, but I'm not used to plunging
into the water backward. Anyway, I
couldn't take stroke, for some reason
or other,
Evening star., 1934-04-23

'I just settled down, quietly and oh
50 comfortably. I wasn't the least bit
afraid or anything like that. It was
q marvellous experience"
Sergt. Ira e. Keck, police aide to
District Commissioners, leaned over
the side of the boat and grasped Dr..
Warsaw's hand. He lost his grip,
however, and the singer went down
again.
"I guess it would have been pretty
bad" said DR.. Warsaw, ''n ! hadn't
kept my mouth shut-which, might
add, Is rather unusual for me-"
When the singer rose to the sur
face again, Keck got a better grip on
his hand, braced his feet against the
side of the boat and pulled him
aboard. DR.. Warsaw was wrapped in
blankets and taken to his home.
I'm all right now," he said, aside
from q little water in my ears, but I'm
going to see doctor about that. And
I'm going to take my customary cold
bath today, too"

FESTIVAL VISITORS /
LEFT S3,0DO,0(DD.
Board of Trade Official Es-
Inmates They Spent at
Least That Amount.

The departed throngs OF visitors to
Washington's Cherry Blossom Festival
left behind them between s3,OO0,0o0
and s5,0O0,00O, it was estimated by
Curtis Hodges Of the Greater National
Capital Committee Of the Board OF
Trade, sponsor for the festival.
Hodges estimated an influx OF 3OO.-
900 visitors, staying on an average OF
two days apiece, and spending an
average Of SIS piece per day. in arriv-
ing at the first figures of 100000
Believes More Spent.
"But that seems very low he said.
I'VE know that thousands had made
reservations for the entire week, so
that the two-day average probably is
low. The SIS average also seems low,
but accepting both figures the rock
bottom amount is 100000, and the
actual figures would probably come up
to somewhere between that and $5.-
O0,000."
When preparations were under way
for the festival, Hodges said that If
the festival attracted 81 900, 900 worth
of business it would be considered a
success. But the crowds which jammed
the city took the committee by sur
prise. So acute had the congestion be-
come by Saturday that the housing
committee was forced to broadcast
radio appeals for extra rooms. all
hotels, apartments, boarding houses
and tourist homes being full to
overf1owing.
The crush of visitors. Hodges said,
exceeded that at the Roosevelt in
auguration last year, and is probably
the biggest crowd ever to descend on
Washington.
Exodus Is Huge.
Union Station was crowded all yes
terday afternoon and last night as
regular and excursion trains carried
away throngs of tourists. The road
ways around Washington were
damned with cars bearing license
plates of all the States, and more
than 10000 cars made the circle OF
the Speedway.
The unexpected rush proved too
much even for the sightseeing busi-
ness. An indication of the crowd may
be gained from the fact that the Gray
line, operating 100 busses throughout
the day starting at $50 am. was
forced to refund several hundred dol
lars because there was not enough
rolling stock to accommodate all Of
the traffic for which tickets had been
sold.
In view Of all Of this, Hodges said
he considered that the Cherry Bios.
som Festival would become q perma-
nent event in Washington. Plans will
be pushed to make the event for next
year even more successful than that
which has just ended.
