As a nucleus of what is planned as the world’s finest collection of reptiles in captivity, Dr. Willlam M. Mann, di- rector of the National Zoological Park, brought back to Washington from Eu- rope last night a small collection of rare reptiles and amphibians, ‘The animals were secured from reptile | fanciers in Berlin, and were shipped to Amsterdam by airplane for reshipment l"" to Washington. They represent types seldom seen in captivity. Dr. Mann had just completed a two-month survey of the reptile quarters in Europest 300s to make plans for the $220,000 reptile muu which will be erected in Wash- gron. ‘The most conspicuous of the mw Tep- tiles is the Brazilian tree boa, a large iridescent grass-green snakeé with sllvery flakes. It is easily the handsomest of the snake family, but has a nasty dis- position. Subjects of Many Legends. In the same crate were two North African burrowing snakes, dull brown repwu ‘which spend most of their lives tunneling in the sand. They .are the subjects of many legends, among them that the reptile has two heads, each of which sleeps while the other Keeps watch nnd secures food. The tail, Dr. Mann explained, looks very much like the MM and snake charmers sometimes mark it with artificial eyes and mouth. There was also the horned frog of South America, an enormous frog with two sharp horns over the eyes, giving it a terrible appearance. It is very brilliantly colored and is able to change its colors almost at will. When the creatures arrived last night they were both dull brown. Today one is brilliant green and the other salmon.

WRITER OF BEAUTY SLOGAN GETS PRIZE CAPITAL. TRIP RULING OF COURT PUTS WASHINGTON | BUILDING ON SALE Priority of First and Second Mortgages Upheld in Equity Decision. TRUSTEES TO BE NAMED AT SOME LATER DATE Structure Has Been Subject for Litigation Since March 29, 1928, Justice Peyton Gordon in Equity Di- vision 2 today sustained the priority of the first mortgage of $3,300,000 and the secondi mortgage of $800,000 on the Washington Bullding, at Fifteenth street and New York avenue, and stated that|Th, he will appoint trustees to foreclose the first morfgage by a sale of the building. The National Shawmut Bank of Boston, the court found, also repre- sented an interest inimical to the first trust and had expressed ts willingness to be relieved as trustee to make the foreclosure. The trustees to sell will be named later by the court. ‘The court decided that James Stewart & Co., the builders of the building, are not entitled to have their mechanic’s lien take priority over the mortgages. He also ruled against the claims of Parker-Bridget Co. and the Peoples Drug Stores that their leases to “por- tions of the building should be consid- ered ahead of the mortgages. A decree in accordance with the findings of the court will be ed. ‘The contract with Stewart & Co. to erect the building, the court points out, was dated September 15, 1926, after all the bonds secured by the original and supple>ytal first mortgage had been sold to the public. Under all the circum- stances, says the court, the claim and llen for $203,077.48 is not senlor or su- w the first and second ‘mort- th leases were also executed after the mortgages, the court finds, and so may not take priority over them. ‘The litigation over the building began March 29, 1928, when the Liberty Trust Co. of Massachusetts, trustee under the second mortgage, filéd suit for fore- closure n-mln‘nlman( the detendnnu the National Shawmut Bank mn. trustee under the first mo: ‘The latter trustee filed a cross-peti! ask- ing that the first trust be foreclosed.
