WAsHINGTON'S SLUM ALLEYS.

Washington, D. c., July 27.|Goat
Alley, Pig Alley and Casey's Court are
not inventions of moving picture pro-
ducers. They are the addresses OF q
number of people in the national cap
ital. Congress is being urged to sweep
such places from the map of wash
ington and leave them entirely to ten
ement fiction.
Washington is generally known as q
city without Sums. Certainly no tour
list to the capital ever saw any condl-
tons such as New York's East Side
openly displays. Even old residents
Of Washington have been known to
say that the city had no SUM district.
They said it in all good faith. Ihey
had never visited the alleys or they
never thought of them al slums.
Washington has no slum district. it
is true. But through the city. like
hidden sores, run tortuous aileyWays
with rows of shacks crowded with
humanity, mostly colored.
An investigator who spent six months
living in one of the alleys gave the
following as a typical instance of bad
conditions: A four room alley. home
sheltered IS persons. The mother Of
the home had 16 children. Her
five grown daughters all had illegiti-
mate children. One son was in the in
sane asylum. One of the daughters
was dying of tuberculosis. Another
was in Jail for cutting a man and a
woman
According to the story. when this
last daughter was a little girl. she
begged from door to door saying that
her dead mother lay awaiting in their
desolate home. or that the family lived
in the country where all their pos
SESSIONS had just been destroyed by
fire
The alley situation in Washington
is unusual. There are 224 inhabited
alleys. the homes of $500 people. In
another American city this condition
would have been made a political issue
long ago. The necessary funds would
have been raised and the alley homes
torn down.
But Washington must wait on con
| gress. and congress is constantly busy
| with national affairs and always anx
ious to economic. It takes money and
! careful planning 10 revise a city and
TO move $500 of the poorest people
in it without panic or great disorder.
Furthermore. the alley system works
to the benefit of the more affluent
classes. SO there has been apathy
The alleys have continued since be
fore the Civil war. a hidden but in
sidious blot on the beauty of the cap
ital.
How the System Started
The system started in a queer way.
Washington was laid out in deep lots
with plenty of back yard space.

houses were built in some of the back
yards and servants sometimes were

When the Civil war ended large num-

and wooden barracks were built for
them in some of this back yard space.
The soldiers left. but thirty or forty

A hail storm Saturday cleaned out
e number Of farmers northeast Of
town. It did damage over in the
Zirnhelt neighborhood, and cut a
swath mile or so wide to the Dana
neighborhood, taking in the Bibel-
heimers, Kertzmans, Walter Mulske,
Emil Geier, and others in their neigh
borhood. Several farmers had no in

The 12-year-old daughter Of Louis
Torkelson narrowly escaped death
Sunday right after the ball game
!, when she was thrown through the
windshield Of the car which Mr.. Tor
kelson was driving, and a blood-vessel

class. The accident happened just
across the street from the Monteith

the doctor been away from home, the
girl would have probably died from
loss of blood. Although i1s bad
shape, it is believed she will recover.
The telephone pole which Mr.. Tor
kelson hit was broken completely of
by the impact from the car.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Moore and
daughter, of Brainerd, Mimi, and B.
W. Whitford, of Minneapolis, arrived
Saturday for a visit at the Geo.
Whitford home.
The Record realizes that since the
Nonpartisan league robbed Hazelton
of their local newspaper, there may
be SOME who feel that Hazelton
doesn't have chance to publish
what they want about their ball
games. For that reason, at the be-
ginning of the season, we invited
Assistant Manager Semling to write
up the Hazelton games as he saw fit,
and they would be published. We
stand ready at all times to publish
anything they prepare for publica-
ton, provided it is couched in such
language that it is allowed to go
through the mails.
