HousEkEErERs ARE CARELESS.

Every once III awhile complaint is made
to the police by some boarding house
keeper that she has been victimize.i by one
of her tenants, either through his failure
to pay his bill, or, what is still worse,
through his making away with her prop-
erty. The marvel is that these complaints
are not more numerous, for never was
there so careless a person concerning the
individuals taken into the house as room
ers'' or ''boarders'' as the average Wash
ington boarding house keeper. There are
few houses where references are required
or inquiries made as to the standing or
respectability of the person applying for
accommodations. If the applicant can
pay the price of room or a weeks
board in advance and presents himself in
fairly decent suit of clothes, with a not
too shabby valise, he is persona grata'

asked.

STAR cHAMBER INQUEST

If anyone in authority in Montgomery
