ITO TURN SEARCHuCHT
ON ALLEY CONDITIONS
Women Will Inaugurate Cam
paign for Elimination of
Evil Features.

The Woman's Welfare Department of
the National Civic Federation today
turned it's searchlight upon deplorable
alley conditions in the National Capital
| which fix the rate of tuberculosis in
Washington higher than in any other
| city in the United States in point of popu-
! lation.
| To remedy these conditions, to create
| a large public playground in Southwest
Washington in the rear of Neighborhood
| House and to further improve alley and
social conditions in that vicinity, is one
| OF the many campaigns of civic devel-
| opment proposed by the department.
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones. chairman OF
| the housing committee Of the Monday
Evening Club. and Mrs. Medill McCor-
mick related in detail some of the con-
dltlons In Washington alleys at a meet
ing this morning at Rauscher's.
Another speaker, Miss Mary E. Nc
Dowell of the Chicago settlement house,
gave an appalling picture Of alley life in
Chicago and made a strong appeal for
the conservation Of the child
Miss Amaralysis Gillette developed an
other phase of housing conditions in many
private homes where, she. said, negro
servants are given anything in the way
of rooms, and often the servants quar-
tiers are breeding places for contagious
diseases.
Pictures were used to show alley condi-
tons while the speakers explained the
only way by which the alleys of Wash
ington may be ultimately eliminated, the
adjustment of alleys to give way to
minor streets and inside courts.
Statistics showed that the death rate
per LOCO for babies under one year Of age
in alleys is 373.49, while in the streets it
is only 1896 The death rate for per-
27O5 per cent, while in the streets it is
1905 per cent.
DR.. Jones declared that the work of the
| board for the condemnation of insanitary
buildings, which is under the District
government, from 1907 to the present
year has bee nso slow that it would
| take at least fifty years at the present
rate of destruction to entirely eliminate
the alleys of the city. There are in the
city 25S alleys, which include 3,14S
houses, and practically each one of these
| homes, DIR. Jones declared, is in itself a
pesthouse that threatens the health OF
| the neighborhood Immediately surround
| ing the alleys.
Miss Mccormick undertook to illustrate
| the alley work as outlined by the wom-
ans welfare department, and made an ap-
! peal for the support of public opinion to
| bring attention to Congress deplorable
| conditions that exist in southwest Wash
| ington.
Miss Clara Van Trump of the Asso-
| ciated Charities also told of alley con-
ditions, and declared that the alley is
| the original breeder of disease, crime and
vice.

Relieving Stranded Americans.
1t appears that there are a large NUM-
Der Of Americans in Mexico who would
be glad to avail of the warning issued by
Ambassador Wilson, but are unable to
leave the country for lack Of funds. The
State Department is acting as the inter
mediary between many such persons and
their friends in this country, VINO are
anxious to extend them financial aid.
So many Americans in the western
part Of Mexico are in a destitute con-
dition that consideration must be given
to the means of securing Tor them
transportation out of the country
through the western coast ports Al
though the relief train which was sent
to Velardena, where the Americans
were isolated for several days, was due
at Durango last night with the for
eigners aboard. Consul General Hamm
at Durango reported to the State De-
partment today that the departure OF
the train from Velardena mad not yet
been reported.
The American Smelling and Refining
Company at Nelardena and Asarco re-
ported to Consul Hamm March IL that
fuel was exhausted and that the food
supply was fast running low. At O'Clock
that night special relief train was dis,
patched to velardena, where 1t arrived
at midnight that night without mishap:.
It was pointed out in the consufs dis

means the shutting down of an immense
