Native of Spain Was Robbed, Betrayed and Lost During 340-Day Vagabondage. Tomas Colera, 28-year-old Boy Scout of Villa_de Onda, Valencia, Spain, has established -another giobe-trotting record by coming from Buenos Alres, Argentina, to Jecksonville, Fla., most- Iy on foot, In 340 days. He arrived in Washington Thursday on a_ journey through 14 countries of the New World, in ahich he encountered and successfully surmounted many perils. The yvoung “explorador” set forth from Buenos Alres Octdber 7, 1925, to conquer, in turn, pestilence, hunger, thirst, treachery, wild beasts, bandits, mountain peaks. forests and deserts. He started out with five Russian com- panions, who, however, were soon not only to desert, but also to betray him. Colera, a true son of dreamy and romantic Spain. spent the year 1921 in New York, where he read many ac- counts of ‘travel, which whetted his appetite for adventure. After turn- ing to his native hamlet nea® Va- lencia, rendered immortal by El Cid, to bid farewell to his family, he mi- grated to the Argentine, where he planned his expedition, while saving his earnings as a carpenter. There was an abortive rumor that a New York newspaper was offering a prize for such an attempt, which attracted the Russians. The six young men proceeded afoot from Buenos Aires to Arrecife, where they secured a horse to carry their packs, but the animal died after two weeks. Two Quit From Fatigue. The adventurers had traveled 1,007 kilometers when they struck the town of Tucuman, where two of the com- pany gave in from fatigue. Malaria overtook Colera at La Quiaca on the Bolivian border and he was carried to hospital in Tupiza, while his com- rades continue on their way, thinking he was done for. When he was able to use his legs again, he followed the other three to Uyuni. With no sign of them there, he struggled ina weak- ened condition to La Paz, where he joined them. But presently he suffered from foul play, for the Russians de- camped from the hotel with most of his valuables. Undismayed, Tomas went on across the Andes, skirting Lake Titicaca near Crucero Alto, at an elevation of 14,- 666 feet. At Arequipa, Peru, he had the authorities apprehend the robbers, who had sold the pilfered belongings, including his diary. The diary he treas. ured especially, because at each stop- ping place a local official had im- printed his seal to authenticate his travels. Since then, however, he has collected several volumes filled with labels and seals to certify his itine- rary. On February 10, 1926, Colera con- tinued alone to Lima, where he was again stricken with fever and confined to his lodgings in Fort Santa Cata- lina. He recovered and ,by steamer went to Panama and trudged from Colon to Port Limon and Sao Jose, Costa Rlica, thence to Managua, Nica- ragua. He tried to enter Honduras from Corinto, but was deterred by Chamorro revolutionists who robbed him. Tomas proceeded to La Union, Salvador, instead, and from there through the Guatemalan desert, which he traversed with all the pri- vations of thirst and hunger. Upon_reaching the state of Tapa- chula, Mexico, he became lost in an impenetrable forest for six days. He was attacked by two cougars, but de- fended himself with his pistol and now proudly displays the hide of one which he shot. He reports that he eluded the snakes which infested the trees and underbrush by eating gar- lic, which nauseated the sensitive rep- tiles. For regular subsistence he par- took only of wild grasses, until he came upon a Spanish-speaking Indian tribe, whose chief tendered him a ban- quet of meat and corn stew. To do Colera. further honor the Indians per- formed a rare dance, called the Jora- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, TRAMP FROM BUENOS AIRES OF ADVENTURES TOMAS COLERA. lead him out of the forest to the In- ternational Rallroad, in the vicinity of San Jeronimo. Wore Boots to Shreds. that time he was carrying a knapsack weighing 25 pounds, con- taining spare clothes, specimens of native idolic statuary and a revolver. He had concealed his passport and papers iftside his shirt. He was glad to reach semi-civilization again to pro- cure a fresh pair of boots, for his original footwear was now worn to shreds. At Cordoba he was ordered to remove the Spanish coat of arms woven into his pith helmet, but was excused when he recounted that he had served as a soldier in Morocco. Colera then continued to Vera Cruz, Mexico City and San Luls Potosi. Be- tween the latter city and Tampico, in the Corte del Moneo Mountain pass, he was again waylaid, this time by six masked bandits, who robbed him of his money. Undaunted, he crossed into Texas at Laredo and tramped through the .State to New Orleans, where he embarked for Havana, in search of employment. He went there because his funds were getting low and because he knew only the Span- ish language. But labor conditions were unsettled in Cuba and he was forced to sell some of the curios he had collected to pay his steamer fare to Tampa, where he earned more money by publishing his experiences. When Colera got to Jacksonville he decided to travel the rest of the w to Washington by train, because of his inability to comprehend English and thus obtain periodic employment to tide over his dafly needs. He is now in the National Capital, staying at the Y. M. C. A, of which he is & member in the Argentine. He is ready to make a similar trip or one of longer dura- tion. He is bronzed and hardened from his experiences. The Spanish embassy, the Pan- American Union and the State De- partment have already taken cog- nizance of Colera’s feat, for they have certified in writing his arrival here. He hopes to arrange a series of lec- tures on his wanderin before the Spanish_colony in New York, and eventually to write a hook with the aid of his exhaustive dia He has saved some of the contributions which he received in such plac Tampico and Monterey, which, together with the proceeds of the sale of his travel souvenirs, will probably enable him to sit New York in very comfortable e as contrasted with his erstwhile ightened circumstances.

Adoption of a definite polioy for the proper treatment of the grounds sur- rounding public school bufldings is recommended in the annual report of Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris, submitted to Engineer Commissioner Bell yesterda; “Estimates for buildings,” Mr. Har- ris said, “are based on the actual cost of the building itself and do not carry an item for the treatment of grounds. This has been made necessary to con- serve the maximum amount of money for buildings. Many of the school sites have been left in an unfinished condition. I have asked the Board of Education to give serious thought to this problem and adopt some gen- eral policy with reference to its solution.” Work of installing modern lights in the schools is going forward rapidly and it is hoped that by June 1927 every school building in Washington will be completely electrified, accord- ing to the report of Henry Storey, superintendent of repairs, which ac- companied the statement of the architect. Record of New Buildings. Mr. Harris gave the Commissioners a recor¢ of the status of all school buildings started since July 1, 1925, as follows: - Enlargement of Armstrong Techni- cal High School, P street between First and Third streets, completed November, 1925 Additfon to Western High School, Thirty-fitth and Reservoir streets, completed January, 1926.

During the flacal year ended June 30, 1926, the Municipal Architect’s Office entered into contracts for schools and various other municipal structures aggregating $4,737,876.37. Mr. Harris tells the Commissioners an office designing so many buildings should be equipped with a library of architectural books, and recommends that an approptiation be sought to buy such books.

D. -C, Joins “Y” Staff WILLIAM R. SCHMUCKER. SCHOOL SITE TASK LAID TO PRICE RISE When Property Is Assessed Under New Law, Richards Sees Problem Solved. With the Commissioners preparing to lay before Congress in December the difficulties they have encountered in trying to buy school sites within the price limitation of 25 per cent above assessed value, District As- sessor Richards yesterday outlined some of the reasons why it is hard to acquire proj for public pur- poses on the basis of tax assess- ments. ‘“‘Assessments for the purpose of taxation are based ‘on sales between a willing buyer and a willing seller, whereas in condemning property for any public purpose you have a case in which a man is forced to sell and the city is forced to buy.” Under the law as it existed prior to the last session of Congress prop- erty in the District was assessed every two vears. Prior to the war, Mr. Richards said, values did not fluctuate much within a vear or two, but since the war the fluctuations in sales occurring within a short time have been great. Examples of Price Changes. The assessor cited one piece of prop- erty that brought $20,000 in 1919 and sold again in 1923 for $67,000. In another instance, he said, a property sold in 1920 for $103,000 and four vears later it changed hands for $200,000. As an {llustration of how properties have fluctuated also, he cited a sale made in 1923 for $§,500, while the same property bréfight $14,500 in 1924, Congress, at the last session, pro- vided for annual assessments in fu- ture, but in explaining the task that has faced the Commissioners in try- ing to acquire school sites this Sum- mer, under the restriction of per cent above assessed value, Col. Bell pointed out that the last biennial as- sessment was in 1924, The Commissioners were able sincé Congress adjourned to acquire land for the new Tenleytown police sta- tion within the 25 per cent limitation, but they have found it impossible to get any of the school sites within the restriction. Tn one case they would have heen able to buy one lot that formed part of a site within the limitation, but since they could not get the adjoining parcels, they decided it was unwise to acquire X+ small a portion of the entire site. Get Data for Congress The city heads are keeping records of the pri that have been quoted on land prices they sought to acquire chool purposes, together with the ssed values of those properties, with the intention of presenting the data to Congress in December. In a pamphlet which he has pre- pared on the general subject of as- sessments, Mr. Richards touches on the question of acquiring land for public™ purpos: and quotes a for- mer Senator as stating on one occo- ston that, in the acquiring of prop- erty for public use, the citizen is forced to give up his property whether he wants to or not. He added that “the theory is that they want to err on the right side in compensating him when they force him to give up his propert. As: sor Richards pointed out that hefol all juries or commissions of condemnation testimony is presented by experts in land or building values, and instead of the testimony being close to wvalue, there is a great diversity in the opinfons offered. In the Union Station Plaza con- demnation, Mr. Richards recalled. one SEPTEMBER 5, small | 1926—PART 1. , “\" STAFF CHANGES BROADEN ITS WORK Boys’ Department Strength- ened and New Religious Leader Appointed.
