Charity and Business.

I'VE must have $4,000 at least" she
said today. "and as a dividend of 5 per
cent comes from the investment in the
company which builds these houses. it
ought to appeal to any one with money
to invest. 1t is difficult to find an
opening for such sums as 800 or $500.
and yet here is the opportunity to do
the community service and get
money back of it. We are bent on
amount Already more than $1,000 has
been subscribed Or is in sight. Peo-
pie who understand that we do not in
tend merely to tear down alley homes
without offering substitute for the
families evicted subscribe their money
to the stock of this sanitary hous
ing company without hesitancy realiz
ing that it is an unusual mixture of
business thrift and charitable philan-
thropy."
According to Alonzo Tweedale. audi
tor for the District of Columbia. If
the law which Representative Borland
spoke of in an interview published in
The Star of yesterday morning should
be enacted. the commissioners would
have in hand practically 100000,
which has been appropriated by Con-
gress for the express purpose of clean
ing up alleys. ma king them into minor
streets. or any other cleanup PROPOSE
tion which seemsanecessary.
This money is the balance from four
appropriations, amounting to S16o.0OO,
granted at various times since 1909.
The existing law allows the Commits
sioners to use this sum as a working
capital to use in condemnation pro-
ceedings in alley clean-ups, and the
total of the condemned amount. to-
.ether with the expenses of condemna-
tion proceedings. salaries of jurymen,
etc. IS assessed as benefits.

Unusual Opportunity Is Presented
for Combining Good Business
With Practical Philanthropy.

Practical philanthropy with per
cent dividend in real money will be
explained with considerable force to
the wives of congressman who have
been invited to attend an ALLEY meet
ing at Rauscher's tomorrow morning
at IL o'clock. At that time prominent
members of the woman's welfare de
partment of the National Civic Fed
Grafton will tell plain tales Of the
slums and the proposed methods for
cleaning them out. 1t has been an
nounced that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
would attend this meeting. but it has
been denied that she will make an
address.
Chief among the methods to be adj
vanced for the upbuilding of the alleys
will be an explanation of why 100000
is needed to capitalize the sanitary
houses which will have to be built to
make homes for some of the families
who will be ousted under the Kahn
bills to make parks of Goat alley
and Shows court. Mrs. Archibald Hop

tirely on completing the amount neces-

Money to Be Returned.

Money to Be Returned.
sixty-five thousand dollars of this
money is already out in the alleys.
where they have been converted into
minor streets, and that money will be
turned back TO the District eventually
under the process of assessments which
allows property owners four years to
make Ieturns.
However. when Henry l.. West was
Comm Ssioner. he was instrumental in
stopping the alley work then proceed
ing. there was a lively protest
against the existing methods of as
sessment The law on the subject is
considered inequitable. inasmuch as it
puts the burden of the benefits in an
area of property which is considered
too small. In other words, surround
ing property owners have To pay too
, much. II is at that feature which Rep
resentative Borland proposes to hit IN
an alley measure which he may intro
dnce Al the District building and in
the Capitol there is an evident desire
| To have enacted a measure which will
| allow condemnation jury to assess
| benefits in such fashion not to inn
| pose a burden on the neiShbors.
Injustice in the Law.
| Also" said Mr.. Tweedale. the pres
ent law seems to work another injustice.
| For instance, take an alley ten feet wide
where it is necessary TO run minor
street You have to condemn two strips
| of land on either side of the alley, twen-
| ty feet In all. say: and you condemn tina t
property You take away the houses
there give the owner a sum for his prop
erty and then go to work and assess ben
! efits right back on the remaining proper
/ ty In effect. You are taking away a
property owners investment and giving
nothin. in return.
! Dis. rict building officials today said
| they had already gone into the question
of Madison alley northwest which Repre-
sentative Borland of Missouri says is the
/ worst he ever saw.
! THE houses which he speaks Of said
Roy Haynes. secretary of the District
| condemnation board, ARE we'll known to
! me and they have been placarded already.
| / was there only Ten days ago. There is
nothing that | 90 not know of that alley,
The difficulty with the situation is that
there is no law at present by which | can
make the owners tear down the shacks. "
Bills Introduced in Senate.
| The two bills which aim to wipe out
| two of the capitals eyesores Goat alley
and SHOWS court, were introduced in
j the Senate today by Senator Pomerene
i of Ohio. They are Identical with those
introduced in the House Friday by
| IRepreSentatiSt Mann u
! Il am heartily in favor of. public
| parks said Senator Pomerene today,
..and in the matter of these bills | be-
Ilieve a great good will be accomplished
To change spots which have been the
| worst kind of slums into beautiful pub
lie parks would be a step in the right
direction.
| The District Commissioners are au-
ithorized and directed by these bills to
institute in the District Supreme Court
proceedings for the condemnation OF
the land necessary to make interior
parks OF these alleys These proceed
lirgs are to be begun within six mont hs
after the passage of the measures.

Culpable to Hesitate Longer.

1T seems TO me that it woull be culpa-
ble for us to longer hesitate, and that our
duty now is to insist upon such Il regu-
iation and supervision Of this enterprise
as shall prevent the preparation upon the
public of dangerous and cruel fraud
We cannot overlook the fact that this
treatment has peen exploited much after
the manner of the exploitation of certain
so-called mining securities. and other
financial schemes from which the credu-
lous public mas suffered.
The wide advertisement of the serum
has had an effect of awakening final
and pitiful hope in the breasts of the des-
perately i'll, which shrewd and sonscience-
less men might turn into an immense
financial profit
There has been time and opportunity
in plentiful measure extended to DR.
friedman and those wao propose sim
liar remedies for tuberculosis to demon
strate the therapeutic value of their
trea tments. but there has been no such
demonstration of value. On the other
hand. we have before us reports of the
gravest character"

Fire Marshal Nicholson today made an
examination of the building.
He sa d the fire originated in the dumb
waiter shaft. He explained that the
shaft is fireproof from the cellar to the
top Of il. and that the fire got out of it
only when the top was reached, He sug-
gested that something thrown on the
dumb waiter at one of the upper land
