Widow Fleeing Becomes Chronic

In any number of States it is becoming more and
more evident that there is need of law to protect
the fortunes of widows Too smart confidence men,
having exhausted the gold brick and the money ma
chine possibilities have turned to the widow with
Gently acquired insurance and property left by her
husbands will as the most lucrative of sources for
easy money.
The routine followed is usually the The con-
fdence man calls upon the widow He represents
himself as banker broker, and is properly sympa
thetic He would like to be Of service, he offers the
usual sure thing. Her money will be safe-it will be
doubled The trusting widow leans heavily upon the
solicitous sympathy. And falls. If necessary, the
confidence man will marry his victim to gain control
of her fortune Once that is secured, he vanishes.
1t is often known by bankers attorneys and court
house officials that women are throwing away their
fortunes, but there is action that they take
They may caution, they may attempt stronger spade
calling language but the honeyed words of the
1dence always, apparently, sweeter to the
ear. Until there is State protection, the eternal
fleeing of widows is bound to continue.

SITE LIMITATIONS
MAY Be ABOLISHED
House Appropriations Com
mittee Rule Seen Injury
to Capital.

Hopeful signs that the House APP
preparations committee may relent on
the 25co in excess of assessed valua-
ton, which was last year placed as
limit on the price to he paid for land
for schools and park sites in the Dis
triCt. and which has seriously handt
, capped District officials by preventing;
the purchase of desirable tracts, are
expressed by members of the appro-
priatiOnS committee.
1t is generally recognized by mem
bers of the House that this limitation
makes and unavoidable proposition
detrimental to the best interests of the
National Capital A number of mem
bers on the appropriations committee
have expressed the opinion that it
would be good BUSINESS judgment to
abolish this limitation or at least to
greatly modify it.
The present attitude of the Funk
committee, which has first review Of
the District budget, seems to be pat
on this % per cent limitation, al
though the Distict Commissioners,
the District auditor and the
District assessor have forcibly and
persistently impressed upon the sub
committee that it firmly ties their
hands and delays the acquisition of
SCh0Ol ana park sites, on WhlCh the
price continues to advance.
1t now seems likely that members
of the full appropriations committee
will endeavor to convert members of
the subcommittee on District appro-
priations to broader view in order
to facilitate very desirable develop
ments Of the Capital City.

has before 1t bill, drafted by the
merger of the transportation com
panies. What the attitude of the
new Commissioners will be in respect
to this proposed legislation Is not
known, however, as neither Mr..
Childress nor Mr.. Adams was willing
to comment at this time.
The commission also will inherit
from the old body a dispute growing
out of the charges of Mr.. Clayton that
the acquisition of the capital stock of
the Washington Rapid Transit Co. by
the North American Company, New
York investment concern. was illegal.
The commission severed it's official re-
lations with the bus company last
year and no apparent effort has been
made by either to bring about a rec
oncilation. In breaking off with the
transit company, the commission tenn
porarily halted move toward
straight 10-cent cash bus fare.
Phone Rate Reduction.
Another matter which the new
commission will be forced to take up
is the question of further reducing
telephone rates in the District. Hear
ings on the proposal, started last Fall,
were halted over technicalities, and
the present commission, with the
approval of the court, had planned to
resume them sometime this month.
The personnel of the new commits
sion will be located on the first floor
of the District Building in Offices now
occupied by attaches of the present
body, in addition to suite of two
large rooms which Traffic Director
NJ. o. Eldridge has been ordered to
| vacate. Mr.. Eldridge and his staff
will move to the building quartering
the Traffic Bureau at 1412 Pennsyl-
Nania avenue.
