the cause of feeding starving Jews in
Europe, as this emergency still exists.
He especially emphasized the value
of the cooperation rendered the Jews
in Washington by the Gentiles and
applauded the generous assistance
given by the newspapers.

Offer of Reward Withdrawn.

not agree with the father, according

the young man had ended his life and

The fact that young Crown placed

Fail to Find checchini.

of the Washington Steel and Ord

police for a trace Of the body of the
missing Checchini, but without sue
cess.
Police opinion as to what became
of the missing steel worker is divid-
ed, some believing he was murdered
and others expressing the opinion that
he merely deserted his family. He
resided at 81 H street northeast
Finding of one shoe and a blood
stained shirt of the missing man
coupled with his statement that he
expected trouble with a man who
owed him money, was taken by some
of the police investigators as indica-
tive of foul play. Others thought the
articles had been discarded by their
wearer to make it appear that he had
been slain, believing their finding
would prevent search being made for
him on complaint of his failure to
support his family.
Nothing has been learned by the

Murder Mystery Unso1ved.

Detectives have worked without
success to solve the murder mystery.
Warren had approx mately $3.50 in
mis- pockets when he left home four
days before Christmas. Being averse
to publicity and thinking her nus
band would return in a few days,
Mrs Warren. did not appeal to the
police to find him, and it was not
until more than twenty-four hours
after the body was found that 1t was
identified.
Detectives succeeded in tracing him
to a house in which a party of men
were engaged in a game of craps
That was several days before his
body was found, however. and from
that house he was traced to the home
of q friend not far from his own
home, at sol Florida avenue. He
did not enter the house, however, but
stopped in front of the house in an
automobile and extended an invita-
ton to his friend to accompany him.
That was early Sunday morning be-
fore Christmas None of his friends
has reported seeing him alive since
that time. Numerous arrests have
been made by the detectives from
time to time, but after being closely
questioned they were released.

Moderate Price.
INQUIRIES FROM CLERKS

Contrary to opinion, declares Mr..

with the addition of more war
workers to the number already here,
Is likely to develop.
Affects Those of Lower Pay.
Mr.. Hege asserted that the persons
affected by the lack of housing and
rooming accommodations are not those
holding high-salaried jobs, VINO can
afford to pay the highest rentals, but
the workers who come here al lower
salary.
He said that in Washington today
there are men who came here some
time ago. seeking an apartment or
house, so that they may bring on
their families.
AS proof of his assertion that the
housing and rooming problem is still
serious. Mr.. Hege showed figures from
official records containing the addi-
lions to and separations from the
government service of civilian war
workers. The figures are from the
time of the signing of the armistice
on November II to January q of this
year, and show that the number of
new civilian employees who came to
Washington to enter the government
employ was 7,712. compared with
10,360 separations from government
employ.
Not Toss of 9 642
This leaves a net loss of but 2.64S.
These figures are exclusive of Army
and Navy officers and men in the
ranks brought here for detached
service.
The largest number of additions
for any week was in the week end
ing November 16, when 1.1S3 came
here During the week ending No
vember % there were 1852 additions.
Figures for the week ending January
4 are lower than those for. any of
the previous weeks and show that
but 543 new workers were added.
Separations from the various de-
nartinents by war workers in the
armistice has been at the rate of
more than a tho sand a week, with
one exception. During the week end
ing December % only S27 war work
ers went to their homes.
In the period from the signing OF
the armistice up to January OF
this year the homes registration serv-
ice accommodated $500 persons with
rooms. The majority of these per-
sons lived in Washington, but changed
their place of residence.

CIVIC CLUB
A WORTH WHILE MEETING HELD
TUESDAY EVENING.

The Civic and Child Welfare club
had a very interesting and worth
while meeting Tuesday evening.
Reports of various committees
showed the liveness of the club. Mrs.
Pease reported that her group had
found giving a play feasible, and had
obtained Miss Keyser's consent to
coach the play. Plans were reported
as well under way to pool interests
and secure subscriptions for the edu-
cation of Miss Lincoln. The commit
tees on community house reported
that it seemed best to defer the work
SO as not to defect from interest in
the hospital.
Mrs. Buechel in a very well organ
lied report reminded members that
the League of Nations is still an open
question.
At Miss Wilkins suggestion, the
club voted to supply tooth brushes
for children who are unable to secure
them.
The entertainment consisted of an
excellent reading from THE Birds

Rae.

GENEROUS WOODMEN
MODERN WOODMEN CONTRIBUTE
S246 TO MISS FLORENCE
LINCOLN.

The Modern Woodmen held an i'm
portant meeting last evening at Earle
Kelley's store, at which time Mr.. KEEL
ley was selected as a delegate to rep
resent this city at the general ses-
sion of the M. w. A, which convenes
at Chicago ON March "a.
A motion was made to levy an as
sessment of 81 each for the purpose
of creating a fund for the benefit of
Miss Florence Lincoln nov at the
Madison hospital with n arm ampu-
tated and a part of the other hand
likely to be removed, the result of an
accident. There was subscribed for
this purpose the neat sum of $246.
Following adjournment the Royal
Neighbors invited the members to a
program and feast at the Hexom hall,
Here the men RECALLED themselves and
thanked the worthy ladies for the
cordiality expressed.
The local Woodmen camp is plan
ming an interesting social affair for
the 25th of this month. A general
spread will be laid and hospitality
will reign supreme.
In extending help to Miss Lincoln
the ~gentlemanly and chivalrous
Woodmen are humanely stepping
aside from the regular organized as
sistance designed exclusively for
members and are setting an example
for the churches, schools and frater-
nal organizations to follow. This act
is real practical charity sort of
sympathetic feeling of brotherhood
where human suffering and affliction
are involved and relieved.
The Royal Neighbors had their
event last evening to honor Mrs. j. B,
Rowland, who leaves soon to make
her permanent residence in another
state. The guest of honor was made
the recipient of a beautiful silver
token spoon given as a mark of es-

that a drive will be inau 2urated here

lished himself at the Ole Highland

has added another line of work to
his regular business of furniture re-
pairing and uph~olstering. During
these spring months much of his time
will be spent at automobile painting
and trimming, this work to be done
in the large room over the w. G.

has one man assisting him and says
he needs the services of an expert

Fred StoltZman. who for three
years has conducted the collection
department for the Madison Mer-
chants association has before him to-
day for his acceptance an offer of
employment from the Madison Mill &
Grain company, now located at Sioux
Falls. Mr.. Stotlzman is rather in
clined to write out a contract with
the firm mentioned, and should he
decide to do so, he will establish
headquarters at that place and work
in and out of that city while looking
after the business interests of the
company. In case of acceptance, Mr..
Stoltzman states that his family will
still continue to reside in Madison,
a least for the present time. In his
capacity of collector while engaged
with the association Mr.. Stoltzman
was instrumental in saving much
money to the retail merchants
through his ability to force those dis
inclined to pay honest debts to a
point of settling up.
