Alley Question Like Parks.

"Shall expensive park areas be acquired
which do not connect with or form a part
of the greater system. when the money
expended to acquire them could be used
to better advantage in carrying out the
larger plan? Now the alley question. in
my mind, is a problem very similar to the
ones | have mentioned. How shall we
use them to the best advantage for the
good of the public?
THE welfare and the necessities of the
people who live in the alleys are the first
and most important factor. We must all
agree that for the moral and hygienic
good of themselves and the city they
should have healthy. attractive and moral
surroundings How they can obtain such
conditions and pay their way is the ques-
ton?
THE ma aiority of the women who live
i'll these houses and a larger part of the
men receive small menthly wages How
rent? l assume that homes in alleys may
be rented for third or half of what
would be paid for a house of the same
size on a street.
1T is not the general custom of this
city for servants to live in the houses
where they work, they must live in
walking distances of their occupation
to quarter of their income, vital
amount in d small wage. The question
| then to be considered is how can we
provide them homes. healthy and at
| tractive, with moral surroundings,
within walking distances of their
work? Will placing these houses on
streets. or crowding a larger number
| in one room furnish the healthy and
attractive homes we desire!

Soon the statute books in the office of

Homes Chief Consideration.

1T is very beautiful city in most re-
spects now" he continued, but there are
some hidden places which should be elm
mated. The most important question
is how to provide homes for the poor
people whom the elimination of the bad
alleys would drive out
Ny. Kahn added that he believed that
II the money to do this cannot be raised
By private subscription the government
should lend it and have the work done
under commission.
He also said that the scheme to make
two of the alleys-Snow's court and Goat
into Fairgrounds is excellent one.
He added that he believed that the bills
now pending in Congress to carry this
plan out will be reported and passed,
probably during the present session
Mrs. Hopkins made Il short address
which delighted every one. alternating
between humor and sandness. She told
OF how Mrs. Wilson had done much to
help the movement, and of how Chairman
Ben johnson of the House District com
mittee and Majority Leader Underwood
of the House have promised to do what
they can
Il think We are assured of success"
she continued. Mrs. Hopkins spoke Of
the terrible heat in the alleys during such
weather as the present. She also outlined
the plans for cleaning out Shows and
Goat alleys, and told Of how it is pro-
posed to have shower baths, Fairgrounds
a public laundry and other conveniences.
Paper by Glenn Brown.
Mr.. Shannon told of his own interest
in the work, and then read Mr.. Browns
paper, which was, in part, follows:
What shall be done with the canal at

be curtaied to keep the canal in it's

Will IL be better to treat the surround
ings of the Gas Company, making it an
effective part of the landscape. or make
them rebuild somewhere else, say on
Analostan Island. where it will probably
destroy one of the principal assets in
the landscape at the outlet of Rock

Problems of the Capital.

In addition to the addresses dealing
solely with the alley question a paper
considering a. number of Washington
problems, written by Glenn Brown, chair
man of the committee of one hundred,
was read by William +. Shannon. This
paper recommended means for dealing
with different questions.
Secretary Bryan said that the most
eloquent address of the meeting had not
been made at ALL for actions speak
louder than words" He referred to the
presence of Mrs. Wilson, and said that
he had concluded that if she could give
some of her crowded time to the move
ment he could do as much.
The Secretary said that he had long
felt the need in all American cities for
not only the large outlying parks, but
for the small interior breathing spaces.
He mentioned the beauties of Rock Creek
Park but said that comparatively few
people can visit it.
Il did not know until very recently that
conditions in some parts of Washington
were as bad as they are he continued
II have heard that some member of
Congress said he did not find conditions
as bad as he had expected.
There is a scarcity of Fairgrounds in
Washington. and we know that because
of the increase in the number of auto
mobiles the streets can no longer be used
by the children as Fairgrounds The
wav to meet this situation is to have
more Fairgrounds and more parks

Reasons and arguments for cleaning up
Washington alleys and predictions of
speedy success for the alley elimination
movement marked a meeting of men and
women interested in the city at the home
of Arthur j. Parsons. 17O4 18th street,
last night. Secretary of State Bryan,
Representative Kahn of California and
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins were the speak
ers, and Col Chester Harding, District
Engineer Commissioner, presided. The
meeting held under the auspices of
the committee of one hundred on the
future development of Washington.
Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, was
present. and her interest in the alley
work was praised by Secretary Bryan
and the other speakers. Gathered at the
meeting in addition to Mrs. Wilson were
many churchmen, city officials, officers
of charitable associations and men and
women prominently identified with the
progress of the city.
Secretary Bryan, in his address, said
the alleys should be cleaned up for three
reasons. These reasons We're Self-preSer

Tells of Public Washhouses.

Taking up the question of public
washhouses which Mrs. Hopkins said
it is proposed to establish, the Secre-
tary Of State declared that while in
Mexico sixteen years ago he saw a
public washhouse. or laundry, and that
it had a school in connection with 1t,
SO that children could study while
their mothers were doing their laundry.
He also told of seeing such laundry
in Glasgow.
Secretary Bryan then gave his three
reasons for eliminating the bad alleys.
He said these places are centers of dis
ease, and IL was to the interest of the
community to clean them up.
ut all resolves itself into this at the
last analysiS-we are our brothers keep
ers. The time is past when IA man can
enjoy himself and not be interested in
those about him. He cannot have an
easy conscience unless interested in the
welfare of his fellow men, cannot retain
his self-respect and the respect of
others"
Representative Kahn told of how the
question of proper housing is one which
is engaging the attention of the entire
world. The United States, he said. is the
richest nation in the world, but 1t does
less for its poor. He said federal city
is being planned for Australia, and an
American was awarded first prize for
preparing the plans. Washington, he
added should be made the most beautiful
city in the world.
