CUT IN HOUSING FUND
O|SPLEASES KRUSEN
$50, 900 Asked, $25, 900 Grant
ed, Money Is Not Expected to
Cause Much Improvement
NEW JOBS ARE CREATED

Although unwilling to criticise Coun-
ellis, Director Krusen, of Health and
Charities, is much disappointed at the
failure of the finance committee to com
ply with his request for enough money
to abate nuisances complained of by the
Churchwomen's Housing Association.
His request for $4,000 was framed
after the amount had been determined
by study of conditions in congested
home sections. The S25. 900 finally al
lowed him will cut his activities in
half and will not permit of any great
Improvement in living conditions.
Before the session Of tie finance com
mittee yesterday Director Krusen was
in consultation with Mayor Smith
about the need for funds and other
questions arising in his department.
After this conference the director said
that he meant to do everything in his
power to get the money.
When the committee finally met,
Chairman Gaffney told the director that
there was not cent of money avail
able for the abatement of nuisances
and that if he wanted to spend money
IN that way he would have to find il out
of some unexhausted item in his an
preparation.
Then followed wild scramble on the
part of councilmen and city officials
to create new jobs and to increase
salaries of places held by favored poll
| tical allies.
| \After some 200 new places and salary
increases had been approved for final
submission to Councils Director Krusen
made an appeal to the committee for
the housing needs. At first he was
turned down, but later Chairman Gaff =
ney offered him S25 900, which he was
forced to accept.
To the Finance Committee Director
krusen explained that the most of the
$50, 900 asked would ultimately be re :
turned to the city treasury through
suits entered against property owners
on which improvements are made under
orders of city inspectors. This explain
alton that the money would not be an
outlay. but merely temporary expen-
diture had no effect, as Chairman Gaff =
ney declared that no money could be
found for such purpose or in fact
for any other purpose.
Just what action the churchwomen
will take, in view of their half way
successful campaign to improve housing
conditions, has not as yet been an
nounced by Mrs. William Abbey and
other leaders in the movement to i'm,
prove living in congested sections.

PROGRESS MADE
IN BOMB PROBE
Hat, Shoes and Wallet Are Clues
Which May Solve
Mystery

Developments in the investigation Of
the bomb outrages that shook Philadel-
phia and six other cities two weeks ago
last night are slow but sure.
Tod Daniel, chief local agent of the
bureau of investigation of the Depart
ment Of Justice, is working on several
important clues, as are Lieutenant
Andy Emanuel, head of the local squad
Of bomb detectors, and his men.
All are trying to establish the identity
of the anarchist blown to pieces while
placing a bomb under the home Of At
torney General A. Mitchell Palmer, in
Washington. The undoubted identified
ton of this man would lead to a speedy
roundup Of the "reds," it is believed.
I'VE are tracing down the bits OF
evidence found said Mr.. Daniel. 1--WE
expect to have him definitely identified
ultimately, but l cannot say when that
wilf be.
''It takes time to trace down all
these things. We are working on the
laundry mark and the hat and the
shoes and the other things found, but
nothing definite has been established.
The tracing of one of these things
to its source takes lots of time. We
consider that we have been reasonably
successful so far.
'..There is nothing that can be made
public at the present time. All that I
can say is that we are working hard on
the case. When the identity of the man
killed in Washington is established we
may be able to track some of his asso :
ciates."

BOWS TO PROHIBITION
Chester's Historic Washington
House, Dating From 174e,
to Be Torn Down
MODERN BUILDING TO RISE

Old man Prohibition takes a slant at
historic relic this time!
Just as soon as July 1 rolls around
or January 10, 1920. il the July ban
is lifted, the historic Washington House,
Chester. which has been hotel all its
interesting life since 1746, will be torn
down to make way for a modern hotel,
Office building and theatre. 1t seems
that the old hostelry which once proved
comfortable to theirenowned George can
not keep alive on the starvation profit
of mineral waters and soda pop.
This old hotel is filled with memories
of Washington and Revolutionary days.
A tablet was erected by the Daughters
of the American Revolution to commem
crate the event when Washington stayed
at the hotel, then known as the Wash
ington Arms, Immediately after the dis
aster of the Brandywine. He visited
the place once again on his journey to
New York when he was elected Presi-
dent. He ate breakfast there.
The tablet reads: This marks this
house as the place where Washington
wrote at midnight the only report of the
battle of Brandywine, September IL,
1TT. Here Washington also received
the congratulations of the people of
Chester upon his election as the first
President of the United States, April
20, 1885,"
After the evacuation of Philadelphia
by the British army, the name of the
hotel was changed to the Washington
House.
At each occasion when Washington
visited the hotel, the best was placed at
his disposal. The roomy mahogany
chairs which were in his room are still
preserved as relics, but all the rare
vintage of that day is pone ;rrayocabIy
