Buenos Ayres, November 13-Friendly enthusiasm was shown toward the United States at the banquet given here last night in honor of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and the distinguished visitor himself was warmly welcomed. The national hymns of the United States and of the Argentine. Republic were sung in a spirited while hundreds of women in the galleries threw great quantities of flowers down upon the floor of the banhall as part of the applause which quet followed Colonel Roosevelt's speech.

M. Frers, a "lelivered the House of who speech of Deputies, reterred to the visitor as "the welcome, serender of the integrity of the Amer1cas" and after paying him the tribute of having entirely dispelled any feeling of suspicion that may have lurked among the Latin-American countries of the friendly advances of the United States. be, said: will be justified in calling him the great pacificator." In his reply Colonel Roosevelt defined the Monroe Doctrine, explaining that It was not an international law, but a policy of the United States for all Amer1ca. He said times had changed since the adoption of that policy, so that the Argentine was now a great modern nation which needed no protection, and he added: hope that the example of the Argentine will be emulated by all the other Latin- American republics and that they will all accept the Monroe Doctrine as the leading article of their COURTHOUSE ISSUE SENT TO CONTROLLER Board of Estimate Refers Letter From Justices Without Comment. MORE DELAY IS IN SIGHT.

Don C. Seitz Argues for Location Where Realty Values Could Be Enhanced. The Board of Estimate today took up the communication from the Brooklyn Board of Justices, in which the latter make the demand that the Court street site selected by them be before they take any further the serelected, lection of a new Broklyn courthouse site, and referred It, without comment, to the Controller. As Controller Prendergast is now in Europe and will be away for about three weeks, it 1s unikely that any change will be made in the present situation regarding the courthouse until his return. Reputy Controller Mathewson stated that so far as he was concerned he would leave the matter for Mr.

Prendergast to act on, the latter being lamiliar with it, while he is not. Don C. Seitz, who has given much study both here and abroad conditions that affect real estate valuations, today gave one of the most interesting reasons yet advanced for the carrying out ot Brooklyn's big, downtown improvements in accordance with the Committee of Ten plan which calls for the location of the new court house on the enlarged site of the present one and of the new municipal building on a site opposite the post office. It is the duty as well it is the aim of most modern cities, Mr. Seitz points out, to preserve and rehabilitate old values as well as to create new ones.

Where values which were formerly high have fallen for one reason or another, the modern city steps in, purchases land at a low cost and by Judiciously locating public buildings or other improvements there, restores the declining value of the eurrounding property to its former high standard. London has steadfastly pursued this policy for a number of years past, says Mr. Seitz, but examples nearer home are to be found, in the locating of the New York County House and the Flatbush avenue extension in Brooklyn. Mr. Seitz answered the argument recently made by a member of the Downtown 'Taxpayers' Association in favor of locating the new court house on the Flatbush avenue extension, by snowing that the extension in itself has been suicient to raise values in that district and declaring that the duty of the borough was to the property near its front door which has been allowed to fall into a sad state, as shown by the steady cuts on the tax books each year.

How Values Were New Civic Center in Manhattan. "When the Manhattan people wanted court house," said Mr. Seitz, "the ouia dials charged with the selection were offered a fine site on Broadway. But they wisely declined to take it, for the site in question was in a location where values were already high. Instead they went down to Center street where property was at.

a low ebb because environment. the site they selected there were only a few dilapidated buildings and metal shops which depressed values adding because of their poor character. But the city took some of that property, and what was the result? Property values were immediately enhanced and a location that was comparatively worthless became very valuable. In words, the New York county offother cials by their wise selection created value. "And so it has resulted elsewhere.

In London they consistently pursue this policy of locating their new public buildings, so far as they can, on poor property so as to create new values or restore values where they have fallen away. "Hammerstein has pursued that policy all his opera houses. He did it in in London, in Philadelphia and in Harlem. Look at Longnere Square. Before he located there who ever even heard He was chiefly responsible for deit? veloping Longacre Square.

And what private individual can do, a city can do "It seems to me that the wisdom 01 such a course in Brooklyn should very apparent. Instead of taking property where values are already high, a is offered to go down fine opportunity the Brooklyn Bridge and take nearer property that has practically lost its Establish your civic center there value. and values which are now dead will be recreated. It Brooklyn wants a recent of such a course, look at Flatexample bush avenue and Fulton street. Propthat was absolutely worthless beerty low Fulton street Las assumed great value because of the cutting through of the Flatbush avenue extension.

But the values there are made and the suggestion to put the new court house there seems to me an unwise one." YALE "FOOTBALL SMOKER." Annual Event Is Held at University Club. The Yale Alumni Association of Brooklyn held its annual. "Football Smoker" last night at the University Club, Lafayette avenue and South Oxford street. For twenty-five years this association has held one of its two smokers immediately preceding the game between Princeton and Yale. One hundred graduates met at supper and William B.

Davenport, president of the alumni, was toastmaster. Following the supper Judge Almet F. Jenks, Class of '75, made an interesting address, while Frederick Trevor Hill, the author, Class of '87, read a very amusing skit, written by himself. Talks' on football were given by Douglas Bomeisler, '13, who played end on Yale last year, and Carl Gallaheur, '13, who played tackle. Both of these men are coaches at their alma mater this year, and they gave a very promising account of the condition of their team for the coming Princeton game.

Before the speaking a colored motion picture exhibition of the Panama Canal and of the graduates parade at Yale before the baseball game in June, 1912, were given. SMYTH-BIRDSALL.

WHITE PERSISTS IN PROPERTY FIGHT Makes Ineffectual Attempt to Have Paper Signed by Judge Fawcett. MORTGAGE IS PUT ON RECORD. It Was Executed by Son, Who Is in Seattle--White Escapes Going to Jail. Josiah J. White, who was bound over yesterday by Magistrate Walsh to keep the peace, and who escaped going to prison by a narrow margin in the afternoon, made another ineffectual etfort today to start a proceeding to gain possession of his former home, 136 Columbia Heights.

At about the same time it became known that Frederick Hall White, his son, and Willye A. White, the son's wife, who live In Seattle, had executed a $10,000 mortgage to the Lawyers' Mortgage Company on the old White mansion, and 1 that it had been placed on record in the Register's Office. Early today White appeared at the Kings County Courthouse none the worse for his arrest following his dispute with Thomas J. Grogan, the caretaker in the White mansion. He waited about until the appearance of County Judge Lewis L.

Fawcett and tried to intercept the Judge. He was prevented from reaching the Judge by Court Attache John Graham, but as Judge Fawvett entered his chamber the persistent Mr. White threw in on the floor the paper he wanted signed. The episode created no little excitedor, Mr. White protesting at not ment in Courthouse corriCountly being allowed to see Judge Fawcett, and when an attempt was made to hand the paper back he refused to accept it, and it lay on the corridor floor until James Dohner, the custodian of the building, picked it up.

White said afterward that he would: wait a reasonable time for Judge Fawcett to act and then, if he continued to refuse, would ask for a writ of peremptory mandamus in the Supreme Court. The paper was in the form of a precept directing Grogan and the other caretakers in the White mansion to appear in court on November 17 and show cause why they should not be ousted from their possession. This is the Becund time White has tried to get action in the same way. The first time the matter was dismissed and, White claims, without his being given a chance to be heard. White claims' a courtesy right in the Columbia street house.

The son, Frederick is Married and in business in Seattle. He inherits the property, subJect to this courtesy right. Up until the time he gained possession in September, the father has always lived there. Since then the $10,000 mortgage has been given. It is said to be the claim of White that the mortgage 1s but a subterfuge to freeze him out of his courtesy right.

The son could not mortgage as long as the father was in possession, a friend of White says, for no one would loan money with property in that situation. With the father ousted, the mortgage was put on and it would be easy, the claim is made, for a foreclosure to follow, in which the father's rights would be wiped out. The mortgage is dated October 11, 1913, and was executed In Seattle. It is due October 1, 1916, and was fled in the Register's office on October 23 last. Mr.

White did not go to jail yesterday afternoon. Magistrate Walsh had held him in default of a bond of $100 to keep the peace. He telephoned former Magistrate William Watson, who came to court and made a strong appeal for his client. At the end of It Magistrate Walsh called White before him and announced that he would take his personal bond of $500 for his good behavior in future. He promised to be good.

The magistrate would not give him back his loaded revolver, or the permit to carry a pistol, which he got from Magistrate Hylan. have a talk to Mr. Hylan about that before I return the permit," sald the magistrate. OBITUARY Harry Steigler. Calverton, L.
