cult Because of Double

Col. q. S. Grant, Sd, executive dir
ector of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, told the subcom-
nittee on public health of the House

are at least $4,000 living in alley slums

shifts, day and night.
Capt. e. M. Chisolm, engineer of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. said that he had been
engaged In this sort Of work for years
In all parts of the country and that
with the possible exception of Memphis,
Tenn, the worst alley conditions in the
entire country are in Washington, D. G.
Some conditions here are so revolt
ing as to filth, lack of water and sani-
tation as to be unbelievable" Capt.
Chisolm said.
He invited the members Of the SUBJ
committee to accompany him on per-
sonal tour Of inspection of alley condi-
lions, and Chairman Bowman of the
subcommittee promptly replied that
they would make the trip next week.

fered number of suggestions to the
subcommittee.
M. C. Patterson, 824 G street north

ORIGIN OF LINER FIRE
is STILL A MYSTERY
German Admiralty Unable to Ex-
plain Disaster at New York Pier
in February.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BREMERHAVEN, Germany, June S.
The findings of the Admiralty Court
here yesterday left the origin Of the fire
which wrecked the North German LLOYD
liner Muenchen at her New York pier
last February, still a mystery.
However, the court recommended
as future precautionary measure the
towing of infiammable portions of the
cargo as far apart as possible.
The officers and crew of the ship were
held blameless and as deserving praise
for their presence of mind.
The Muenchen was stricken by five
terrific explosions which were followed
by a disappearing fire at her chan
mel in the Hudson River early In
February. Two lives were lost and eight
persons were injured. The damage was
estimated at several millions of dollars
The ship sank astern deep into the
mud, but later righted herself. The
blaze began less than an hour after
the ship had docked and most Of her
267 passengers were ashore.
