total cost of which, it is estimated
nill run close to s3oo,non.
An addition of modern t\po with
limestone front now is rapidly being
completed in front of the old building
which for many years housed th«
eiphanage, and an app! ration for pet
jnit to erect an adjoining: building of
similar height and stylo on the prop

. lng was filed this week with the Dis

ELECTION CONTEST
CASE IS CONTINUED
Court Delays Contest, but Prom
ises Hearing Before New
Men Take Office.
By » Staff Correspondent of Thp Star.
COURTHOUSE. Arlington County
Va.. December IT.—Judge Samuel G. ;
Bren/ yesterday continued indefinitely j
the election contest case, involving ai-j
leged frauds and irregularities in the 1
election last month of Sheriff How
ard B Fields.
The judge announced that lie would
hear the case before the end of the
year, however, when the new" officers
of the county will begin their terms.
Some of the charges against Fields
indirectly affect the election of all
other officers, and the complainants
against the sheriff, therefore, have
asked the court to declare the whole
election of November s null and void.
Sheriff Fields, in his answer to the
charges of vote buying and influenc
ing the voters with liquor and ether
Inducements, entered a categorical
denial and requested the court to
dismiss the petition.
Several of the signers of the peti
tion in the meantime have asked the
court to remove their names from
the document, contending they had
been led to believe it was merely a
request for a new election.
YEAR 1927 NEARS CLOSE
WITH LABOR RECONCILED
Xittle Prospect of Any Important
Strike or Controversy in Build
ing Industry in U. S.
NEW YORK. December IT.—The
close of 1927 finds labor conditions in
the buiding industry unusually quiet
with little prospect of any important
•♦tikes or wage controversies be
fore Spring, according to the na
tional monthly building labor review ;
of the American Bond A Mortgage
Co.
“Possibility of any serious labor !
troubles in the building industry in
the near future.” said the review,
“is rSther remote, as building crafts
men are showing little inclination to
Tress wage demands or place undue
•tress on the five-day week plan.
“The decline in the volume of new
building and seasonal low activity is
already being felt in a number of
localities and a surplus of skilled
mechanics as w ell as laborers is de\ el- (
oping. Union craftsmen are accept- j
lng the situation calmly but threaten j
resistance to any effort that may he I
made to reduce present wage sched- i
Ules.”

Washington delegates to the Mid

1 elution of Real Estate Boards at
Houston, Tex., January 25-27, will
leave here on January 20, according
to plans for the trip which now are
being completed by the committee of
the Washington Real Estate Board
arranging for the convention.
Plans for the trip, which will he
I made in special cars, call for a stop
-1 nn-r at Pinchurst, N. C.. and at New
Orleans, while on the return trip to
Washington side tours are planned to j
Fnlia, Florida. Mexico City and other]
points of interest. The committee in j
charge is composed of Clarence F I
jtnnohoe, chairman; Theodore M. Judd j
and Percy H. Russell.
The MeFadden act and repercussion j
which it may he expected to have on
real estate financing and on real estate |
mortgage banking will be an impor- j
j tant topic to come before the mort- |
i cage and finance division of the Na 1
jtional Association of Real Estate)
j Boards w hen it meets at Houston in
connection with the coming annual i
! business meeting of the association. !
The 1928 outlook as to business con
j ditions as they affect real estate will
) he a leading report before the broker-' .
division of the association. This divi j
sion, together with the mortgage and j
finance division, the home builders j
and subdividers division, the property j
management division, the industrial)
1 property division and the realtor see-
I ret arias' division, will hold simultane- 1
ous round table meetings all day Jan
uary 26.
The provision of the MeFadden act
which places the national hanks in a
position to direct their funds to a
| considerably larger extent into real
i psMte mortgages will be one phase
of The act the probable effect of which,
will be studied in the round table
meeting of the finance division. Dis
cussion will also center on action :
which may be expected particularly j
with regard to real estate bond issues j
as a, result of a second provision at
the art permitting national banks to |
deal in investment securities.
Do usury and redemption laws pro
tect. the public? This will he another j
inquiry which the mortgage division
will take up.

REIS STRUGGLES
10 PROVE INSANITY
Wife Slayer Battles With
I Alienists, Who Deny Plea.
Jury Soon to Get Case.
Bv the Associated Press.
I TXCINNATI, Deeemher 17.
Fighting to convince a jury of two j
women and 10 men that he was |
crazy when he shot and killed his ]
estranged wife. Jmogene. last Octo
ber 6, George Remus today faced an
other struggle with a man who,
qualified as learned in diseases of the
mind, had joined two confreres in a
declaration Remus was sane not only
when he fired the fatal shot but
sane now.
Cross-examining a witness for the
1 first time since his murder trial
j started flvew eeks ago. Remus, now
; sane by his own affirmation as well
j as the report of the psychiatrists,
} was deep in a battle of wuts with
i Dr. E. A. Baber when court adjourned
! yesterday.
j After an overnight study of a hypo
thetical question covering I**9 pages
! of foolscap paper, Judge Chester R.
j Shook promised a decision today upon
(whether the question should he asked
(the alienists. Should he rule in favor
of Remus, who burned the midnight
I electricity night after night in his jail
cell as he struggled in preparing the
1 interrogation, the trial would be
lengthened by at least two days.
It was said by some lawyers that
j unless Judge Shook limited the]
j length of the question it would set a I
! record for such things, nearly dou- i
j hling in length that asked in Harry’
iK. Thaw's trial for the slaying of I
! Stanford White.
Prosecutor Charles P. Taft. 2d, and
Charles H. Elston, co-counsel with
Remus, were of the opinion, however,
that should Judge Shook limit the
length of the hypothetical question
some of the arguments might be
reached before adjournment today.
Under that schedule the caseprob- ■
ahlv would go to the jury late Monday !
, evening, they said.
