Homes of Poor al Washington to Be
Invaded at Night.
An invasion of the homes of the
poor in Washington at night. when
the inmates shall have retired, is said
to be Il of the newest moves de-
signed for the religious. moral and
sanitary uplift of the national capital.
Nocturnal descents upon such homes
are to be made. it is said, by the Rev.
District Of Columbia; members OF the
police force and a health inspector.
Armed with a camera and fashlight
apparatus. the probation officer, it is
said. will secure Photographic evidence
Of the conditions that prevail when
the mantle Of night has fallen Upon
the homes. He will have informed
himself previously as to the relation
ships and degrees Of consanguinity
existing in the homes he will visit.
Upon these tours it is even said
newspaper men will be taken. The
purpose apparently is to inform the
public Of such conditions as may be
found to exist. Reports. too. will be
made to the judge Of the juvenile
court. The probation officer is quoted
as follows regarding his proposed ex-
petitions:
This particular phase of the life of
the poor has been so far overlooked by
the juvenile court. l don't believe
that. as a general thing, we will find
conditions very bad. but ! am conf
dent what we do discover will prove q
valuable enlightenment to the general
public. Little thought is given at the
present time to the immortality engen-
dered by insufficient or badly arranged
sleeping quarters.

offensive. Our trip. while it may seem
