The offices of the brokers are frequented dally by inguirers for properties. The only reason that there are not more large properties in this city for sale is that there is a general belief that cen- tral real estate is as reliable a source of steady income and increasing earn- ings as any to be found.

NEILSON CASE [S CONCLUDED Court-Martial Trying Officer Accused of Duplicating Accounts Comes toDecision SR T The court-martial which has been trying the case of Lieutenant Fred- erick B. Nellson, Twelfth Cavalry, who is charged with having duplicated his pay accounts, arrived at its con- clusion yesterday morning. The full court was in attendance, as also were the accused and his attorney, H. D. Pillsbury. Major John Bigelow Jr., a member of the court, wanted to ask the defendant some further questions and Neilson readily granted the re- quest. A few minor technicalities of the law were discussed and then the court went into secret session. A ver- dict was rendered in a very short space of time, and the court adjourned to meet on Monday at 10 a. m. to re- view the findings, which will then be sent to General MacArthur, who will in turn hand them over to Judge Ad- vocate Major Henry M. Morrow for re- vision, after which the papers in the case will be forwarded to President Roosevelt. The findings of the court have not been made public. The personnel of the court has been composed of offi- cers of unusually high rank, none be- Ing of lower grade than captain. The accused has had the best of legal talent placed at his disposal by his wealthy and influential brothers in Philadelphia, and it is reported that much influence has been brought to bear on the case to save Neilson his commission. Captain John J. Bradley, Four- teenth Infantry, and family were among the passengers returning from the Philippines on the transport Sher- idan. The severe illness of Mrs. Brad- ley is the cause of his return, the Gov- ernment having granted him two months’ leave for that purpose. Mrs. Bradley has always enjoyed the best of health in the Philippines during both her visits there, but early in Feb- ruary she was ‘suddenly taken with nervous prostration, which amounted to a complete collapse and to this was added an attack of melancholia. They were in Samar at the time. Immedi- ately on arrival here Mrs. Bradley was taken to the Adler Sanatorium and placed in charge of a specialist. Cap- tain Bradley and his three little chil-| dren are at the Occidental. Mrs. Bradley is the daughter of Captain Joseph A. Sladen, U. 8. A., and sister of Captain Fred W. Sladen, U. S. A. Before marriage, as Miss Carrie Sladen, she was one of the acknowledged belles of the army and a favorite in the social world, both on the coast and at New York and Wash- | ington. The Filipino constabulary, together with their splendid band, which came | over on the Sheridan from Manila, left | yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock on| a special train for the St. Louis,Ex-| position. They remained on the trans- | port while here, but were allowed the freedom of the city when they so de- sired. Colonel Earl D. Thomas, Eleventh Cavalry; Captain Letcher Hardeman, Eleventh Cavalry, and Lieutenant Willlam - E. Roberts, Twenty-second Infantry, paid official calls on General MacArthur yesterday. General Francis Moore is spending a few days in town prior to his de-| parture for his post at Fort Riley. The Eleventh Cavalry will probably | leave for.the East on Tuesday or| ‘Wednesday. ——————— OFFICERS ELECTED TO GOVERN BIBLE SOCIETY | i i !
