TOO MANY HOUSES,

Claims Convention Showed
Absorption Point Has
Been Reached Here.

That there are already enough ho-

homes in Washington to house

as the city's normal population was
proved by the way the national cap
ital swallowed with one gulp the
throngs during Shrine week and still

real estate men.

convention proved" declared L.
Franklin Schneider, well known
realtor of Washington, lit is that this
city is way over-built already. And

under construction are finished we
will have far more room than we can

Had Rooms Listed.
With 125.O00 Shriners and their
wives alone registered here from
every part of the country last week,
it was officially estimated yesterday
that 250,00O persons. including all
classes. came to Washington during
the conclave and remained overnight
at least once. Despite this tremen-
dous crowd, the housing committee
at Shrine headquarters had liSteo
rooms in the city proper capable or
housing more than 100000 persons

T. Howard. manager of the CAIRO.
declared the city's hotels alone are
capable of rooming about $4,000 per-
sons without crowding. That would

two persons to live comfortably. In

the next two years. Men have puiit

hoped to have Shriners sent to their
homes for rooms and were disap-
pointed. That is true despite the size
of the crowd that did come.
The same is true of the entire city.
Literally hundreds of persons who
had made preparation to accommo-
date one or two mobiles for the week
found Washington so well prepared

visitors were simply distributed
through the center of the city.
