The Keokuk police department. is
much interested in the identity OF
one of the men arrested at Kansas
City for the murder Of an aged pawn
broker at Quincy recently. Four men
are under arrest with some OF the
watches stolen found in their posses
sion, and wrath at Quincy is so deep
that the sheriff is going to slip his
prisoners into that city.
One of the men is named Mason,
and Chief Hennemann is wondering
whether it is the same Mason who
was arrested here a year and half
ago as member of gang Of chick
en- thieves. Our own Mason turned
states evidence and was released. Var

the Quincy robbery suspect is the

Repor- up to April 10 show this de-
mand is being net only slowly, prob

New York City shows the greatest
reed of housing, reports showing that
shelter for $4,000 families is needed
The greatest demand there is for mod
ern apartments and tenements. Phila-
Gelphia in late report stated about
1000 housing accommodations are
needed. Detrcit's figure is placed at
so, 600.
These figures, officially, are not
much higher than in most other To-
calities when compared with the popu-
lation.
Before the war between 100000 and
400, 900 dwellings and apartments
were built yearly, but during the war
the annual figure exclusive of those
built by the government, was cut
down to about $4,000 for the whole
country. This situation, with the fact
that people enriched by war wager
are demanding more modern accommo-
dalton is responsible for crowded con-

state.
Efforts are being made by the de-
pertinent to get this vast amount OF

conducted in many cities with the
view of having people put their higher
war wages into building new homes.
| Opinion, however, seems to be that
prices must be lowered and stabilized
before much of the building will get
under way.
| To assist in home building the labor
department plans to ask the next con-
gress to establish system of home
