.DEPLORES HIGH
COST OF MONEY
Rent Commission Member
Says Excessive Interest Is
Bane of Home Builders.

The greatest evil in the building
situation in Washington today is
the prohiSitive price of money" said
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, member
of the Rent Commission, in an ad-
dress delivered before the North
west Suburban Citizens Association
at the Tennallytown School last
night. The exorbitant rate of in
terest charged small householders
who must borrow money to build
houses is preventing this class of
people from owning their own
homes, she said.
Mrs. Taylor deplored the lack OF
housing facilities in the District
and pointed out that more than
100000 people are poorly accommo-
dated" % r-
In explaining the work of the
Rent Commission, Mrs. Taylor said
that due to the lack of inspectors,
members of the commission were
obliged to inspect buildings against
whom complaints of disrepair have
been lodged, in addition to their
office duties. More than 1900 cases
are not yet touched, she said.
The following officers were
elected by the Northwest Citizens
Association last night: President,
Luther L. Derrick; first vice presi-
dent. A. NJ. Shumaker; second vice
president, John Chappell; secretary,
Miss A. NJ. Atlee; treasurer, Joseph

.RECALES MOTHERS
WITH BOMB PLOTS
Military Instructor Tells Deep,
Dark Secrets of War Ac-
tivities of Agents.

During the war, the forces
against the government placed Il
bomb in a building in the City of
washington. doing s2,OOO.oO0 worth
of damage. no report of which was
permitted to reach the public" as
serted W. H. Simmons, instructor of
military science at Maryland Uni
versity. before a meeting of the
War Mothers at the Thomson School
last night.
Simmons had been asked to talk
concerning the political prisoners.
He told the audience he had been
connected with that division of the
government dealing with Soth sac
tive" and passive" enemy agents
during a part of the war.
Although emitting dates. loca-
tions or names, he regaled the gath
ering with incidents of the sinister
activities Of the obstructionists to
the conduct of the war, some of
whom, he said. were the political
prisoners whose release is being
asked.
within forty-eight hours after
the government building had been
bombed. the man who had set the
machine had confessed and COM
mitted suicide in the Tombs of New
York" he declared. only the six
or eight men who caught him knew
of it,"
a railroad bridge not two miles
from Washington was bombed
while a freight train was going
over it, but as the crew were rid
ing on the front and back ends, no
one was injured" he told his mar
Yelling hearers. Not a word of the
disaster was ever known to the
public"
Men such as these, knitting in
the back the men facing the Ger
man bullets, are men in prison to-
day" he declared. Prison is too
good for them. They contami-
nate it,"
