The new group of Dunigan
homes in The 5400 block Kansas
Avenue Northwest between Jeffer-
son and Kennedy Streets, are
being visited by throngs.
The model home at 54O6 Kan
sas Ave. N. w., shows the care
with which this company has
planned this group of homes with
due consideration for architec-
tural design, interior arrange
ment, decoration and equipment.
The homes are of variegated
tapestry brick with covered con-
crete front porch and slate man
sard roof, located on a wide boul-
evard on a high Petworth eleva-
ton, overlooking the city. One
enters the spacious reception hall
and then directly into the large
living room.
The kitchen, one Of the most
attractive features of these homes,
is bright and airy. At one end
is breakfast nook, separated
from the kitchen proper by COM
panion china cabinets. The color
scheme is green and buff for the
cabinets with a soft pattern of
green for the walls and a har-
monizing pattern of inlaid limo
leum for the floor.

SEEN
HOMES BOON

CHICAGO, May 27.-Home IL
nancing interests are looking at
records here and abroad to dis
cover how the market for homes
fares when governments revise
their monetary policy, as it antic-
ipated under the Roosevelt infla-
ton program.
The fact that an owned home
becomes more important in the
eyes of the average family in
such an era is borne out in two
reports released this week. The
United States Building and Loan
League gives a comprehensive re-
port of the British situation Of
the past 1.-TWO years, and its affili-
ated educational organization, the
American Savings, Building and
Loan Institute, has just published
a research pamphlet on "Infla-
tion, Real Estate and Building
and Loan"
Looking at the English record
after the country went off the
gold standard in September, 1881,
Ward B. Whitlock, president of
the league, finds the British
building societies financing the
greatest volume of home pur-
chases in their history by the end
Of 1881. He sees preference for
buying home properties for occu-
pancy as opposed to speculation
in real estate.
In the year ended January /,
1882, the British local home fl
nancing institutions which corre-
spond to the building and loan
associations here advanced $44O.-
100000 to home Owners, more
than half Of whom were buying
existing homes rather than build
ing new ones.
The British financier is quoted
by the league to the effect that
there SENS to be decided move
ment in the country to increase
owner-occupancy.

Meantime, Governor Sennett

four months ago for relief of real

"Public meetings of taxpayers
and local officials in every section
of the State are now urging an ex-
traordinary session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of raising
the sales tax rate from 2 to per
cent, and the allotment of a por'
tion of the proceeds to the coun.
ties for the payment of bonded
obligations and the relief of prop

of more than one-half of our 81
counties have petitioned for this
action.
"Our people believe the sales

exemption of the homestead from

The enthusiastic public response
to the new Cafritz model home at
315 Emerson st. N. w., Demon
strateS the fact that there is a
market for the type of homes
that people really want to own.
Into the new group at Fourth
and Emerson Streets, the Cafritz
Construction Company has built
many new and unusual features
at a price in harmony with to-
days values.
In the new group of homes at
Fourth and Emerson Streets, the
Cafritz organization has added an
interior plan that satisfies all the
requirements for luxurious living
and practical arrangement.
Step-DOwn Living Room
The reception hall with adjoin-
ing coat closet with mirror door
gives direct access to the kitchen
and also affords a convenient
place for wraps. The new step
down living room adds spacious
ness and marks the innovation of
a style of living room treatment
that is manifesting it's popularity
throughout the country. In this
plan the dining room is raised,
atfording a variety of treatment
and relief from the monotony of
conventional design.
The kitchen makes a practical
workshop for the housewife, en-
hanced by color treatment, which
adds interest and joy to her work.
Here, she finds everything prac-
t1cally arranged to carry on her
work with the greatest efficiency.
On the second floor there is a
spacious master bedroom with
large wardrobe closet and private
bath, occupying the entire width
Of the house in front. There are
two other spacious bedrooms and
an additional communicating
bath. Both baths are tiled, with
smart built-in fixtures in pastel
color combinations, adding a note
of distinctive treatment to these
rooms.
In the basement is completely
furnished recreation room with
heat and ventilation, another in

adds an extra room for cards,
games or entertaining. In many

Impeachment of Gov. James Rolph

letter addressed to President Roosevelt

by Rev. r. w. Brooks, president of the

Rev. Brooks said that kidnapping was

The letter stated, in part:
