WHAT WASHINGTON NEEDS
Crime Stalks the Streets of the Saloon Cursed
National Capital

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 15-(Special
espondence)-A sensation was created in
the House of Representatives today when Con-
gresham Simms of Tennessee, referring to the
robbery of woman last night in front of the
British embassy declared that this is the twenty
first crime of that sort committed in the streets
of this city since September, and said: "Close
your eight hundred licensed saloons and there
won't be another of these occurrences
1t is not generally known that the city of Wash
lngton, although it is spendidly policed, has al
most as much crime of the character of highway
assault and robbery as either New York or Chi
cago. Comparatively little is published about it,
since it is contrary to the administrators policy
and practically everything which gets into print
is subject here to the moral censorship of the
White House.
