Police Investigate
 Police have not yet completed their investigation, and no arrest has been made. Motor Patrolmen John Mcdonnell and Int om s Phelan are in charge of the inves- tigation. Williams is being treated by Dr. Vincent T. Shea for his in- juries, and police intend to question him this afternoon.
 The police report states that the truck, moving van type, was pro- ceeding west on West Main street, and the Williams car was proceed ing east on the same street. At a point almost opposite Lewis street, Williams is said to have attempted to make 'U" turn, and the crash resulted. The truck was tossed right over on it's side.
 Street Crowded
 The accident attracted one of the largest groups of spectators the po- lice have had occasion to handle in the vicinity of Exchange place in several years. The benches about the Green were quickly emptied of their occupants. From various cor ners and railways and sidewalks conferences, spectators rushed into the street to glimpse the "van- quished" truck. A traffic tie-up re- suited.

Their discovery is based on an.
other discovery, made by Balti-
more's landladies to the effect
that SSB's growth in Baltimore
has bulled the accommodations
market. Room rents there, report
the astonished D. C.. emigres, "are
doubled as soon as you tell them
you work at Social Security" and
1t is declared that the minimum
tariff asked for a room is So
weekly per person!
Result is that the D. c. emigres
feel they are getting a raw deal,
particularly in view of the hun
dreds of Baltimore young folk
who have been given temporary
posts by Ssh and live largely at
home. Another result is that hun
dreds are remaining in Washing

'EFiUe-St0r" Night

United Federal Workers Of
America expect the most
rousing meeting Of their his
tory Thursday night, when
their membership and all
all other employees who desire
will gather in the Depart
mental Auditorium on Con
stitutiOn Avenue.
History was m a d e more
than a year ago at the VIII
lard Hotel, when the "COm-
mittee Against False Econ
Ony" drew an unprecedented
1850 to q mass meeting and
thus formed the foundation
Of the UFWA on the enthusi-
asm displayed. Thursdays
gathering, the first since that
time, comes at an OppOrtune
moment and StrategicalIy
brings together five of the
men on the Hill willing to at
tempt action on behalf Of
Federal folk in the face Of q
stalled Congress.
These men, Senators M. NJ.
Logan and Lewis b. Schwel-
lenbach, and Representatives
Robert Ramspeck, John w.
Mccormack q n d Herbert s.
BigelOw, have introduced
among themselves legislation
that embodies in a nutshell
the immediate desires and
needs Of Government en-
plOyes. In case you didn't
know, this legislation includes
$1,000 minimum wages, auto
matte promotions, establish
ment of an appeals body for
grievances, elimination Of
overtime Tor compensation
for it, and the five-day week.
It's no secret that securing of
these just benefits will quiet
much complaint by person
mel, leaving only the ever
vital merit system as a major
issue.
Attendance at the gather
ing is urged, for the sole rea-
son of showing that Wash
ingtOn personnel Is behind
the goals champiOned by the
above mentioned legislators.

dous credit pool provided by the IL
Federal Home Loan Banks and their
accounts are insured to the extent Of
$4,000 each by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corp.
OF the 1865 100000 loaned by Fed
eral associations, some 1886 SAT 900
was for home purchase or construc-
ton. $187 ,074,000 to finance existing
mortgages and $38, 8,220, 900 for repairs
and reconditioning. Recently the pro-
portion of loans. granted for refinanc-
ing has been declining, indicating that
home owners now are in q better
financial condition.
Whereas. during the first half Of
1884 50 per cent of all loans were
for reflnancing mortgages for longer
terms, during the last half of 1887
only 20.2 per cent of advances were
made for this purpose, the boards
report showed. Over the same period
the ratio of loans made for construc-
ton rose from 296 per cent to 655.
Further strengthening of the finan-
cial position of these Federal asso-
Citations, the board announced, is ex-
pected to result from the recent act
of Congress making them eligible for
investments placed by Federal credit
unions. There are now 1850 OF these
personal finance co-operatives in ex-
istence. operating on charters from

Rapid expansion of the Federal sys-

1884 loans made by these institutions
totaled only $17,847.000, but by 1887
this figure had increased to $307, ,278,-
