Jackson was con- Victed of first degree murder May and his death then set by the court for July 9, On the same night that Miss Hood was fatally wounded in her room at | 1337 L street two other homes in the northwest section were entered, and in each case a woman occupant was attacked by the intruder. One of the other victims, Miss Martha I of 1312 Connecticut avenue, als shot, but cecovered. The third wo an was Miss Florence Fowler, who frightened the intruder out of her room at 1511 L street.

Returning, he got off a street} car at Dupont Circle and walked down Connecticut avenue to the eagan home, where the first attack was made. From there, it was brought out, he ran to the other two houses on L street, a few blocks away. | BUILDINGS COMMISSION SAVES U. S.

The commissioners acted without hesi- tation after a committee of citizens of |the county had explained the feeling of |unsafety which the attacks have created ‘among the women of the community. |The request for the additional reward was supported by State's Attorney Al- jbert M.

Carload of Food Seems Assured. One thing appeared certain today, and that is that at least a catload of foods held in the Army depot at Balti- more will be brought to Wasbington and distributed from these markets under municipal supervision. The sup- plies, by order of Secretary of War Baker, will be brought over in Army motor trucks. Commissioner Gardiner has not yet received from the department a list of the foods that are available for purchase by the municipality. He ex- pects to have the list by tomorrow and will at once make up the order with the hope of having it delivered by the latter part of the week. Market Stalls Obtained. George M. Roberts, superintendent of weights, measures and markets, has obtained stalls in the three Dis- trict markets for the retailing of the products. All the stands at the East- ern and Western markets are rented, but one dealer in each place has con- sented to turn his quarters over to the municipality for the purposes of the Army food distribution. At the fish market there is space available for the storage of several carloads of food. Discrimination in Favor of Washington Admitted Before House Committee Preference is being shown to Wash- ington over other large cities through- out the country in the bringing here of a carlead of food supplies held as sur- plus by the War Department to be sold to the public in small lots at a 20 per cent reduction in price, according to testimony given by C. W. Hare, di- rector of sales, before the special House committee investigating expenditures in the War Department. Representative Reavis of Nebraska asked Mr. Hare if it was not a dis- crimination to sell these surplus food supplies at a reduced price in Baltimore, ‘Washington, New York and a few such’ cities when they were not sold general- ly throughout the country. Mr. Hare said that in the case of Washington it was a discrimination. In other places, like Baltimore and New York, the War Department had depot warehouses from which the food can be sold, in small lots, and this is similarly being done throughout the country. Other communities throughout the country have been notified that car- loads of food supplies will be sent to them for sale at the same reduced price if they will pay the freight. The discrimination in favor of Washington is due to the fact that the freight does not have to be paid by the consumers here, it was pointed out. The Commissioners have guaran- teed, however, the payment of the value of the carload at 80 per cent of the normal price within ten days. ‘Washington {s getting this opportunity as an experiment, Mr. Hare explained.
