of Segregated District
ISpecial Dispatch to The Call

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Building
contractors of Washington are prepar-
ing to give the capitol city the finest
"tenderloin'' in the country. Within
two blocks of brand new buildings al
ready constructed under the shadow Of
the capitol building the police are pre-
pairing for the transfer of all the resi-
dents of the old 'tenderloin" to the
new one
At the present time the segregated
section is located between Twelfth and
Fifteenth streets. back of the District
building, which is the equivalent OF
the average city's municipal building
or city hall. There the residents OF
the quarters have been under the di-
rect supervision of the police.
CONGRESS CAUSES CHANGE
At the last session of congress an
appropriation was made for tearing
down of all the houses in the present
tenderloin in order to make a con-
tinuous park from the capitol to the
treasury building.
Then building contractors busted
themselves to find out where the new
'tenderloin" would be located cor

advisability of permitting the schools

The matter is creating no end Of
discussion, and when congress learns
that the new "tenderloin" has been

likely to be an official howl that will
reach President Taft. Most of the con-
