Curtis School Fire
Ertinauished bu Boz

That the Curtis School, 5000
block O st. N. W., is still standing
practically undamaged today is
probably due to the presence Of
mind Of Roger Clark, II, son Of
the Rev. George D. Clark, $500
block o st. N. W., who yesterday
afternoon extinguished what
threatened to be serious fire
In the building.
Clark was walking past the
school when he saw smoke coming
from a window. Rushing into the
building, he seized a fire ex-
tinguisher, and had the blaze
under control before firemen, sum-
moned by Miss e. N. Gilbert,
librarian, had arrived.

Analyses Racketeering
In the Capital

The. news that the racketeers
have transferred their activities,
temporarily at least, from Chica-
go to Broadway, is extremely in.
tereSting 20 those Of us who
watch the small but rather pic
turesque underworld Of Washing
ton.
Up to the present time there
has been no real effort to eS-
tabliSh racketeering, or Systema-
tize blackmail upon business men,
in this city. For a year or more
we have been looking for at
tempts in this direction, because
the game has proved so workable
in other cities.
II the Chicagoans decide to ex-
tend their operations to the
Capital, we will have another po-
lice problem on our hands. So
far we have had plenty of police
trouble due to the corruption in.
herent in prohibition enforcement,
but racketeering, which is moth
ing more or less than blackmail,
supported by gunmen and their
satellites, is something else again.
&. I don't believe our police force,
as at present organized, would be
able to- cope with an organized
racket gang from Chicago. I
think Ii would require a complete
reorganization of the force to
handle such a situation.
