emplified by Christmas baskets and
Christmas gifts, was a hollow gesture
to those in dire, year-around need.
He felt 1t was far better to minister to

year than to spread charity thinly
over greater number.
Another characteristic widely re-
marked upon after the publishers
sudden death at Chattanooga. scene
Of his early newspaper struggles and
triumphs, was the lifelong consistency
OF his policy in newspaper publishing.
Five years before he purchased the
New York Time he told a convention
of the National Editorial Association
at st. Paul:
"A journal conducted as q news
paper, being fearless purveyor. and
when needed. equally fearless inter-
prefer of the news Is, in the intel
ligent public opinion, the newspaper
of the future"
In August, 1896, when setting forth
his policy for the New York Times,
he said it was his desire Ito conduct
q high-standard newspaper, clean,
dignified and trustworthy.
Two months later was born the
slogan: "All the news that's fit to
print"
In 80 years OF ownership Of the
New York Times Adolph Ochs never
say any reason to change this prin-
ciple or to modify 1t.

Passing Of Chinatown
Deplored By Elders

Four years ago the Federal
building program said "Scram!"
to the placid little Chinese colony
on Pennsylvania Avenue. There
was no CONSERVATION. No indig-
nant waves of protest met the
order. They simply moved.
In the transfer much was lost,
including a goodly slice of the
Districts downtown oriental pop
ulation who left for other parts.
The residue filed into the 900
block of H st. N. w., and there
they are today.
The 1880 census recorded 1913
Chinese residents in the District
of Columbia. There are probably
many more than that. however,
owing to the fact that the coun-
try's oriental population is as
shifting as the sands of the Cobb.
The typical Chinese is here today
and in New York tomorrow, and a
safe estimate of the city'S present
floating Chinese population is TOO.
Peace is Keynote
Chinese Washington has given
the police little trouble. There
have been few murders. and
fewer opium raids. Tong wars
in Washington have amounted
to no more than a few isolated
flurries which died down without
casualty. Peace has been the
keynote of their activities in the
District.
Time was when Charley Lee
500 was known as the mayor"
of Chinatown. He was the presi-
dent of the On Leong tong
otherwise the On Leong Chinese
Merchants Association. Today
he's retired.
Charley will not say how old
he is, but his hair is gray and
sparse. He came to America
some 40-odd years ago and is
the father of five children-four

boys and a gorl-all born on
American soil. His youngest son,
Edward, will emerge next year
from Purdue University, civil
engineer.
Gather on Sunday
Most of Washington's Chinese
do not live in Chinatown. The
majority reside in the buildings
housing their laundries, art
stores and restaurants-scattered
throughout the city. They come
to the H Street settlement only
on Sundays to talk things over,
play fan-tan and WELD chopsticks.
Each Sunday evening, at $50,
the Calvary Baptist Church, at
Eighth and H, conducts a Sunday
School class made up entirely of
Chinese-young, old and middle
aged-of both sexes. They make
devout Christians.
Nuts Free No More
. At the native shops along H
Street you must not be surprised
at anything you find offered for
sale. Chinese teas, in blends cost
ing from 40 cents to $40 per
pound, are arrayed in teakwood
sample cases within showcases
displaying miniature Chinese
idols, incense burners and bamboo
back-scratchers. The lichee nuts,
formerly dispensed gratis to chill
dren sent after fathers laundry,
have scared in price from 20 tc
so cents a pound and in these
days are seldom given away.
WaShington'S Chinatown, as
was, is gone.
Although the present colony in
the Caucasian's eye, does not diff
fer much from the former domain
on the Avenue, the inhabitants
find it does. It's older members
deplore it's passing. To the Amer
icanized younger element, it does
not matter.

POWER PLAN 7.
CONS|DERED|N
ALEXANDRIA
Municipal Project Weighed
As Means of Obtaining
Lower Electric Rates

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June "a.
Construction of municipality
owned electric power plant in
Alexandria doomed as a possibility
today as a committee of the city
council studied street lighting
rates, termed by several Of it's
members "unduly excessive"
The first five-year contract be-
tween Alexandria and the Virginia
Public Service Company must be
renewed before July /, and Mayor
E. C. Dawson and several mem
bers of the city council have said
that unless the utility offered
substantial reduction in street
lighting rates they would consider
the feasibility of building a plant
to serve the public as well as the
city.
Financing Held Easy
Approximately $4,000 per year
is paid the utility now for city
lights. Members of the council
believe a municipal plant could be
financed easily with this amount.
One councilman said that by
taking advantage of the Federal
works program the city could
erect a first-clasS plant that would
pay for itself in a few years. The
As per cent grant allowed by the
PWA, the councilman added,
would cut the cost of such a plant
nearly in half, and the balance
could be financed without diff
Guilty on the $4,000 per year the
city now pays the Virginia COM
pany.
Mayor to Support
Mayor Dawson declared he had
always thought the present rates
too high and that unless the new
contract offered a substantial re-
duction in the rates he would sup
port the plan for a municipal
plant.
Only five years of a 30-year
franchise held by the utility has
expired, but city officials ex-
planned that this did not prohibit
the city from disseminating the
service if the rates were consid-
cred excessive.
Several conferences betwee
committee members and officials
of the utility have been held re-
Gently and a contract is expected
to be submitted to the city coun-
Gil tomorrow night.
On the lighting committee are

Manager E. C. Dunn and City At

DC, APARTMENT
PROJECT URGED.
FOR CONGRESS
Rep. SABBATH Asks Allen to
Build Quarters for LegisIa-
tors; Says Rents Too High

Commissioner George E. Allen,
District Works Progress Admins
traitor, today was asked to urge
use of work relief funds for con-
struction of several apartment
buildings in Washington for
rental to members of Congress,
their secretaries and employees.
The request came from Repre-
sentative SABBATH, who suggested
that the money so spent from the
Districts share of the 1000 mil
lion dollar work fund could be
paid back in IS years from the
rental of the apartments.
Mr.. SABBATH, who has served as
chairman of the special select
committee to investigate bond
holders committees, receivers and
properties in general, pointed out
to Mr.. Allen that "the rents in
all buildings, including hotels,
that have been investigated are
extremely excessive" He added
that:
''Many members of Congress,
saying nothing of the secretaries
and employees of the House, find
it almost impossible to obtain
suitable quarters at any fair and
reasonable prices"
Commissioner Allen said the re-
quest would be given careful con-
sideration," but it is believed that
such a project would not come
within the scope of the regulations
laid down for the spending of the
works fund, since the cost of ma
terials would be too high in pro-
portion to the funds spent for
labor.
