HOME OWNERSHIP

One Of the most important steps
towards the promotion of home
ownership in Washington was taken
last week when members of the
Washington Real Estate Board,
meeting at Wardman Park Hotel.
decided to inaugurate an intensive
own your own home" campaign
here.
Urging all local realtors to adopt
the poster plan for the own your
home drive. William E. Herrin,
national field secretary of the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, declared that such a method
of publicity would educate Wash
ingtonians to the advantages Of
owning their own homes. Mr. Her.
rim said it was through the activi-
ties of approximately 275 real estate
boards of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards that the
real estate business has achieved
such high ethical standards.
F. y. Wholley, director of the
Better Business Bureau. said hund-
reds of fake oil stock promoters
were located in Washington be-
cause of the fact that there is no
blue sky" law here. He sounded
warning to the realtors urging
them to cooperate with the Better
Business Bureau in driving these
shady" brokers from the city.

Dashes Himself Through Win

Mrs. Amelia Gordon of 233 West
109th street flung her two-year-old
daughter from a window of her apart
ment on the fourth floor OF the apart
ment house yesterday afternoon after
she had entered the child's bedroom
and found flames bursting through a
closet door. Then. with her own cloth
ing blazing from neck to ankles. she
fought Off Clifford Sanford, the negro
janitor of the building. and threw her
self from the window. Both mother
and child suffered broken legs and
possible internal injuries, besides frac-
tured skulls. Neither is expected to
live.
his escape into the hallway cut off by
a wall of flame that had crept from
the closet into the bedroom and living
room of the Gordon apartment, swung
out Of the window on clothesline, in
tending to crawl hand over hand across
the court. But his hands were ter
ribly blistered, his clothes were burn
ing and he had not the strength to
make the trip. a difficult one under
any circumstances. But he had both
strength and the presence OF mind to
put his feet against the wall Of the
apartment house and shove.
This set him to swinging. He swung
three times. each time slipping down a
bit on the clothes line. and on the fourth
swing he plunged feet first into the
kitchen of the apartment Of Mrs. w. r.
Borden. in 22s West fosth street.
The fire started in the clothes closet.
and was discovered by the mother when
little girl had awakened from her nap
The flames were between her and her
child, but she dashed through them, her
clothing catching fire. She caught the
living room. crying for help. Sanford.
passing through the hallway, heard her
and rushed into the apartment. When
he got In he found Mrs. Gordon. frantic
with fright and pain, rushing toward the
window, He grabbed her about the
waist. and she turned and beat him over
the head and shoulders with her fist,
shrieking that her baby was dying.
Mrs Gordon's strength was so great
that she wrenched the baby and her
self from the negro's grasp and ran to
the window. She leaned out and dropped
the baby. Then she threw her foot over the
sill, but Sanford managed to get hold
of her and dragged her back. She
fought fercely. beating him with both
fists. BY this time her clothing and that
OF the negro were blazing and Sanford
grabbed blanket and tried TO beat the
flames out. This loosened his hold on
the woman. and with a shrek she ran
TO the window and plunged head first.
Then Sanford. unable to get out of the
apartment by the doorway. went out
the window 20 the clothesline.
In Mrs Borden's home the negro
beat out the flames on his clothing and
then went back to the Gordon apart
ment. He had almost extinguished the
flames by the time the frsmen arrived.
An ambulance surgeon who treated him
said that he had suffered serious burns
about the hands and arms. but he re-
fused to go to the hospital. After his
injuries had been dressed he returned

Alva C. Kendall, Former
Princeton Football Player
and Alaska Miner, Gone.
GOT MONEY FROM VAULT
Often Displayed Large Sums
and Friends Fear He May Be
Robbers Victim.

Mystery, romance and Alaskan gold
are linked with the disappearance on
Wednesday of Alva C. Kendall, a
former Princeton football player and
an Alaskan mining engineer, who left
his home at 20 Seventh avenue. carry
ing with him roll of bills aggregat-
ing 100000. A general alarm sent
out by the police early yesterday has
failed to locate the engineer and
numerous mysterious phases sur
rounding his disappearance have puz-
zled his friends.
Kendall. since his return from
Alaska less than a year ago, had
made his home with Byron w. Smith
and had become friend Of the. family.
To all appearances Kendall had no
business to attend in this city, but
possessed considerable money, which.
he said he had made prospecting in
Alaska. where he is supposed to be the
owner of several mines. The money
until a week ago he kept In the safe
deposit vaults of a downtown bank.
He withdrew more than 100000 a
week ago yesterday and carried it
about for several days, despite the
warnings Of the Smiths that New York
city was no safe place In which to have
so much on ones person.
Gets Rubber Band for Roll.
The roll. mostly in $1,000 bills. was
carried carelessly in Kendalrs pocket
and a few days previous to his disap-
pearance he went to a nearby store and
purchased a rubber band to put around
the roll. According to Mrs. Smith, the
store to which he went is known as a
hangout for taxicab drivers who wait
about Sheridan Square for fares. Ken
dali. who was 3S years old and weighed
more than 180 pounds, was powerfully
built and laughed at the suggestion that
any one would attack him to get his
money
Wednesday morning Kendall told Mrs
Smith that he would walk uptown to
Fifth avenue to stop at jewelers. shop
to have the diamond In large ring
reset and would return about 4 o'clock.
When he failed to return later the
soiHitns Tepoftcu his ulSdppedrniCe 10 the
police.
Kendall. since his return from the
Klondike regions. had been complaining
of the excessive heat and had also been
subject to heart attacks, one of which
he suffered on Monday. Whether he
was taken with one of those spells or
wandered away In a haze of mind. or
was robbed and spirited away. or de-
liberately went away of his own accord
remains mystery to the Smiths and
to the police.
Ever since he returned from Alaska
Kendall has carried a pocketful Of gold
pieces which he used In lieu of paper
money.
Smith had Kendall had played half
back on the Princeton football team be-
tween 1911 and 1918. After he left
Princeton he went to Alaska. she said.
and had made much money. He came
to this city less than a year ago. He
was single and his home was originally
In Omaha. He had no near relatives.
When he disappeared Kendall wore
black silk suit. straw hat. four In hand
tie. tan shoes and several pieces Of
jewelry. He was smooth shaved and
vas prematurely gray. He was about
six feet In height and Of athletic build.
