VISIT UNDERW WORLD
Chicago Pastors Go Slum-
ming in Washington.
ABOVE AVERAGE" THEY SAY
Rev. BOynfOn and Rev. Buck, Under
Guidance of Police Sergeant, Ia
spect Houses and Talk To Inmates
and PrOprietors-Deciar District
10 Be Well Regulated.

Washington's underworld. with its tin
panny pianos. and its places where people
go early and stay late, was visited early
this morning by two ministers. who. with
a policeman, composed a stunning party.
The purpose Of the visit was to compare
the conditions IN the National Capital
with those Of other cities. and more par
ticularly that Of Chicago.
The ministers were Rev. NJ 2. Boynton.
of the Lexington Avenue Baptist Church.
Of Chicago. and Rev. Marcus W. Buck.
pastor Of the la Sale Avenue Baptist
Church. Chicago. Sergt. Lee, of the First
precinct, did the honors, taking the visit
Ors from one house to another. Several
Of the more pTetentiOus places were IN
spected. as well as those Of the lower
grade.
1t was after midnight when the party
started out. under the escort Of the biz
sergeant Of police in full uniform. The
two ministers, both of whom have been
taking part in the conference in ses-
sion at the Calvary Baptist Church,
were disguised, in a way. giving no indi-
cation whatever. by their dress. that they
were gentlemen Of the cloth. Rev Boyn-
:on wore a dark suit and a brown fedora
hat. Rev. Ruck, who is a small man,
wore an ordinary derby.
The sergeant led the way into every
place visited. Once inside neither was
the least bit timid The people and their
customs were especially interesting 20
the ministers. They talked with the pro-
prietors about the conditions, the hours
and put TO them many other questions too
numerous TO mention.
Along D street. between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets, the trio proceeded,
stopping now and then wherever the
fancy struck them. The sergeant rang
the bell and the minister followed as the
door was opened. Rag time music pre-
vailed throughout that section Of the
city at that hour Of the morning
I'm Lonely If You Amt Got No
Money. You Needn't Come Around. 90
Love Ne. and the World is Mine" and
various other airs, both old and new,
greeted the ears Of the ministers as they
wended their way through Washington g
most lively thoroughfares at or o'cloclS
in the morning.
Washington, in this part. is one Of the
best regulated cities in the country" said
one Of the ministers. during their slum-
ming journey. There is no comparison
with Chicago. where everything, at all
hours. is wide open. Both Of us have
been much interested in the reform move
ment in our city. and this prompted our
visit TO WashingtOn's Tenderloin."
1t was in the wee sma' hours when both
the men and their guide left the district
where night is turned into day.

MAY Team Against Nicaragua.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, June
1.-THE authorities here deny
that Nicaragua made any demand
on Honduras for territory, but it
leaked out here that Nicaragua
has demanded about one-half of
the lands originally claimed by
that country, and conceded to
Honduras by the decision of the
King of Spain as an indemnity
for war expenses. Davi'a has do
clared that Honduras will not
give up a foot of territory. When
the demand was made Davlla
wanted to march a force of 5000
against the Nicarpguan's holding
the ports for indemnity but wiser
counsel prevailed and it was de-
termined to await the arrival If
Minister Ugarte in Washington.
1t is expected that If Nicaragua
persists in the demand for terri
tory. the other Central American
republics will combine with Hon
duras against her.
