valuable data as to the number OF
vacant houses and apartments in the
city for sale and for rent and the
number under construction.
Mr.. 1hlder said newspaper ads on

apartments for rent. This number.
a city Of 100000 persons. If all Of
these vacant houses and apartments
could be classified according to rent

DR.. John Cries OF the Department Of

dealers. claiming that they have
failed to cooperate with him in
gathering data as to prices of ma
this lack OF cooperation, he said. the
complete as he had hoped it would be.
Replies to Criticism.
The full committee probably will
begin next week to draft its recon-
mendations to the Commissioners,
Frank ]. Hughes, d member of the
housing committee and connected
with an investment and finance cor
poration which does large business
in second mortgages in the District
explained to the committee yesterday
how second trusts are handled.
The purchase Of second trust notes
at price to enjoy only the discount
which the builder Is willing to allow
the home purchaser for cash payment
is profitable to a discount banking
institution without incurring any ad-
ditional expense upon either the
builder or the home buyer" Mr.
Hughes said. Mr.. Hughes also took
occasion to reply to criticisms which
had been directed at the institution
with which he 10 connected.
DR.. Cries. in concluding his report
on building supplies. declared that
Congress might well consider author
izing thoroughgoing investiga-
ton"
The chairman of the committee
said that out OF six letters to building
material dealers in the District only
two replies contained any informa-
ton. and that was meager. He as
serted that out OF thirty-one con-
tractors to whom letters were sent
one made reply which enabled the
committee to compare 1913 prices
with those OF today.

CHARGES DURB|N
WAS FRAMED UP
Watson Traces Arrest to In
formation Regarding At
torney General.

Because he gave information re-
garding the acts Of Attorney General
Daugherty. Andrew T. Durbin Of Co.
lumbus. Ohio, is being framed up
and "railroaded" to prison, Senator
Watson Of Georgia, democrat, charged
on the floor Of the Senate yesterday
afternoon. Durbin is a son Of Will
liam Durbin, chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee Of Ohio.
The charges made by Senator Wat
son followed the arrest here Satur-
day OF young Durbin, charged with
having obtained money under false
pretenses from Washington hotel.
He was held for a preliminary hear
ing June Z. The extradition Of Dur
similar charge having been placed
against him in Cleveland, it was said.
Arrested After Leaving once.
Senator Watson. without mention-
ing the Durbin case except by infer
ence, declared the youth was arrest
ed by. q Burns detective fifteen min
utes after leaving his, Senator Wat
sons sons; once: is,s, on on cheek forgery
year ana a half e old s Young s'1 D~rbin. Wds :
Senator Watson said, had informed
him regarding an alleged release by
the Attorney General Of the British
steamer ]. NJ. Young at New York
after seizure for violation of the pro-
hibition laws.
"This is just strong-arm methods.
Burns methods" declared Senator
Watson. "The country will question
this sudden rebirth of an old case so
soon after he had been in a senator's
office. Can the Attorney General re-
main silent after this? Do the men
think public sentiment of the coun-
try can be defied?"
Assails Mr. Dauxherty Again.
William J. Burns, chief Of the De-
partment Of Justices bureau of in
vestigation said after hearing Of the
Georgia senator's charges that he
could say positively there was no
connection with Durbin's arrest and
any visit to Senator Watson's ONCE.
He added that the Department OF
Justice had only recently learned OF
the arrest of the Ohio man.
In continuing his address Senator
Watson assailed Mr.. Daugherty again
for his connection with the pardoning
of Charles w. Morse, New York
banker, from Atlanta penitentiary in
1912.

The citissns' housing committee will

Decision to make this report to the
city heads was reached by the COM
mittee at three-hour parley in the
bosrdroom OF the District building
yssterday afternoon. during which
there were frequent verbal clashes.
Lively Debate Lasts Heur.
Following a lively debate OF more
than an hour, the committee also
voted to discharge the finance COM
mittee. from which Thomas Bones re-
signed a. chairman more than q week
ago.
Capt. Julius I. Peyser asked the or
ganisation to dismiss the finance
inability to get more than two other
members to meet with him since Mr..
Bones resigned.
Mr.. Bones had presented report on
the facilities for financing homes In
Washington. and William Deane Ham
Bones report was returned to him with
Instructions to give more details. The
chairman then resigned. Capt. Peyser
said he has since tried to get q meet
ing Of the committee, but. apparently,
members do not feel that they should
take any further part in the work.
Split ON Recommend dations.
Several members of the full COM
mittee, led by Rev. ]. Milton Waldron
opposed the decision to recommend that
the alley law be postponed for two
years.
DR.. Waldron contended that If such a
course IL pursued the same situation
which exists today will face the city
again in 1924. His compromise pro-
posal was that the law be put of for
one year and that after that one.third
of the alleys be closed annually for three
years.
As the situation stands now all OF
the alley houses of the city, In which
approximately 10000 persons live, will
have to be closed on November u, 1922,
unless Congress acts in the meantime.
John Ihlder. chairman OF the sub
committee which made q survey OF
existing housing conditions in the
city. reported yesterday that It would
be manifestly impossible to provide
properly for the alley dwellers be-
tween now and November.
In defense of his Recommendation
for a two-year extension. Mr.. Ihlder
said 1t was not his intention. that the
problem be forgotten for two years.
The most important thing to do, how
ever, he said. is to convince Congress
that ut should be postponed. and then
set to work to devise ways and means
OF meeting the situation when 1t
arises in 1924.
