the District, said he would oppose leg

the police to arrest people merely on

he said. The senator added that 1t

ease and Vice.

The alley dwelling problem again
cropped up before the Senate District
committee at a hearing yesterday on re-
preston of vice in the District of Co.
lumbia. Representatives of the Erner-
gency Housing Association Of the Dis.
trict told the committee that it was
imperative something should be done
without any unnecessary delay for the
| eradication of these alley dwellings, for
the health and morals Of the people of
! the District
William V. Mahoney, secretary of the
association, and Rev. J. Milton Waldron
suggested that the District Commits
| sioners be allowed to segregate the al
leys in which dwellings, now exist into
three sections. the first section to conf
prise the alleys where the worst con-
ditions exist. They proposed that one
section be wiped out each year for the
rcxt three years. In this way be-
ginning could be made and yet time
allowed to carry through the entire pro-
| gram.
Number Underestimated.
They told the committee that proba-
bly, between 1900 and $4,000 people
live in the alley dwellings. instead of
the 5000 listed by the police a year ago.
Many of these people are out at work
] during the day and only come into the
| alleys at night. AS many as fifty live in

Mrs. Ted johnson Granted
Custody Of Son.
Also Gets $500 Alimony and
Household Goods.

It was plain to see that anything but
love. existed between Mrs Ted john
son, who sat on one side of the table
in Judge James McClure's division of
the district court this morning, and
Mrs. Bonnie Smith. who sat on the
other. Mrs. johnson named Mrs.
Smith as correspondent in her divorce
case again Ted Johnson. proprietor of
an auto garage at 11S- West Fifth
street.
At the conclusion of the trial this
morning, Judge Mcclure granted Mrs
Johnson a divorce, custody of their
small son. $40 month for his sup
port, $500 permanent aliLaony and
all their household goods, valued at
$500 by johnson. His patience some
what .irritased by contempt proceed
ings which he said had already CONG

also voiced in no uncertain terms that
there would be only one more con-
tempt proceeding. So far as he was
concerned. w. E. Atchison. Mrs.
Johnson's attorney. subpoenaed Mrs.
Smith. ''as an exhibit" When the
case started Friday afternoon, Mrs.
Smith came in with Johnson and sat
by his side during the trial. When
court adjourned. she drove away in
an automobile with him. Looks that
spoke more than volumes were ex-
changed across the table by the two
women.
Feared Bodily Harm, He Said.
On the witness stand this morning
johnson explained that the reason he
went away with Mrs. Smith in the
car Friday evening was because he
feared Mrs. johnson would do her
bodily harm. Before leaving the court
room Mrs johnson had told Mrs.
Smith that she was going to Kill her,
Johnson said. He also admitted that
he was living in the same house with
Mrs. Smith at 40 Lincoln street to act
as her body guard" Mrs. johnson
had several times come to the house
with friends and threatened Mrs.
Smith, he declared.
acquaintance with the Smith woman
began when she owned grocery store
and he called to sell her a car. AS
their friendship grew, Mrs. Johnson
began to disapprove of 1t. Finally she
gave him an ultimatum that If he
spoke to her agaiI- she would leave
him. He promised to respect her
wish, he said. Sometime later when
she was driving downtown Mrs. John
son saw them talking outside a marin
clio shop where Mrs. Smith was work
ing. Then the divorce case started
Mrs. Smith is the divorced wife o.
Maj. Arthur Smith, of the Kansas Ma.
