as the worlds most eminent
mystercist" as well as "self-liber-
ator," has consented to answer all
questions addressed to him through

printed in this newspaper from day
to day, or will be answered by him
with a personal letter or from the
stage Of the Rialto.
Houdini claims that spiritualism
is all a fake. He declares he can
do anything any spiritualist can,
and answer questions just as well
by the same methods and tricks
he claims they employ. Houdini
says that he demonstrated his abil'
ity along this line to Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle in London recently.
Doy,e Is one Of the greatest believ.
ers in and exponents Of spiritualisn,
today. Houdini is appearing In per.
son at the Rialto along with his
photoplay "The Man from Beyond"

duced by himself. His personal act
is to answer all reasonable ques.
tions on how spiritualists do their
stuff" Address your inquiries to
Houdini. care of The Washington
Times, and they will receive his
prompt attention. The Literary
Digest recently devoted two pages

A Life for a Live covernsd
BabyIonla in Matter Of Poor
Construction. -. -.

King Hammurabi. who reigned IN
22oo 3. c., over Babylonia, had an
entirely different idea about building
regulations than are known in-she
present day. '.E.. ~. . g.
II the old king had been in Wash
ington last January when the roof
Of the Knickerbocker Theater col
lapsed, killing nearly hundred and
injuring about $50, he pro6a1sy
would have been quick to act--pro.
yidine. of course, that he waSu I
hampered by modern regulations.
For King Hammurabi had very
definite ideas as to what to do atter
such a collapse. He had but
regulations and, history says..lhst
he enforced each and every one 'ol
them. -
The regulations, which were dug
I'M MANY wears ago, came to light re-
Gently. They were translated by II:
II. Harper and the Potomac lnsur-
ance. Company. Of this city. has sent
them to the District Commissioners.
The translation was published in-the
Weekly Underwater. :.
And Here They Are.
The regulations follow:
A. II a builder build house Tor a
man and do not make its construc-
ton firm and the house which he has
built collapse and cause the death OF
the owner Of the house-that>- the
builder shall be put to death.
B. II II cause the death OF the son
Of the owner of the house-they shai
put to death a son Of that builder.
C. II II cause the death OF a slave
of the owner Of the house-he shan
give to the owner OF the house q
slave of equal value.
d. II II destroy property, he shall
restore whatever In destroyed, and
because he did not make the house
which he built firm and II collapsed.
he shall rebuild the house which col
lapsed at his own expense.
z. II a builder build a house for o
man and do not make its construc-.
ton meet the requirements and Q
wall fall in, that builder shall
strengthen the wall at his own ex-
pense. ..r
Given Building Inspector.
Alex X. Phillips, secretary OF the
Potomac Insurance Company, In
sending the translation to the En-
eineer Commissioner, Charles Keller.
said:
IT am taking the liberty Of inclos-
ing herewith q copy Of q building
code which prevailed during the
reign Of King Hammurabi OF Baby
lonia about 200 B. c., which will
probably be interesting for the

II such Is considered with the unfor-
tunate Knickerbocker disaster"
The regulations are now making

A touring car stolen in this city

Washington youths Thursday night

The three arrested are Truman

1t is alleged that the trio stopped
at a house near Thaxton and broke
into the place at the rear. When
they were caught II was alleged they
had a bag containing clothing, jew
elry and money, which had been
stolen from the house, in their ma
chine. A double-barreled shot gun
and an automatic pistol are also said
to have been In the car.
The car, they said. was stolen from
Eighth and F streets northwest. II
Is owned by Jesse E. White, S13 FIJI.
teenth street northwest.
When the machine was found II
was stripped of the lights, top, fend-
ers and windshield. The youths are
said to have told the police that they
left the accessories about twenty
miles from Lynchburg. One Of them
has volunteered to show Alligood the
place where they were left
