I shame,” said Senator Keyes Jast night, “that the entrance into the caplital city, hailed as the most beau- tiful in the world, should be so un- sightly as It now is. I understand that part of the property to which I have reference has never come into the possession of ihe Uaiited Stat s. because the Baltimore and Ohlo Rail- road Company has refused to accept the amount awarded it in_the con- demnaticn proceedings. Something should be done without further delay to remedy this situation. “I am not hitting at the govern- ment dormitories 1or (the wom n em- ployes of the government, now lo- cated between the Capitol and tre sta~- tion. In the course of time it will be nece: to remove them. But they are needed now to ald In the hous- ing situation here, and I See no reason for their immediate elimination. I do want something done, how- in regard to the weed-covered areas, and the tumble-down buildings that are stili found in this proposed park.” Senator Keyes said he had hopes that something might be done to im- prove the appearance of thig land nrior to the arrival of the delegates to | the inter ional conference on the; iimitation of armaments. He said he ad talked the matter over with mem- bers of the Fine Arts Commission and witk Elliott Woods, architect of the Capitol.

Inspector Grant, chief of detectives, told a Star reporter last night that the mystery of the theft of Bergdoll papers from the room of Repredenta- tive Ben Johnson of Kentucky, in the House office bullding, had not been goived. The police investiga- tion, thus far, he stated, had not resulted in obtaining any informa- tion suggedting the identity of the berdon or persons who took the pa- ers. certain, the inspector stated, and it wouid appear that- destruction of some of the original papers probably was the reason for the looting. Detectives working on the case are hidden in.the building. They fall to understand why the taking was staged at a time soon after the re-! turn of Represcntative Johnson to| the clty. He was away from the city some little time, they stated, and they are unable to understand why the papers were not taken dur- ing his absence. Fingerprints on the glass cut from the window of Representative John- son's room promised to furnish a so- lution. H. E. Burlingame, assistant Bertillon expert in the police depart- ment, visited the House office build- ing and took prints of the fingers of numerous persons employed in_the building, but none of the prints, it is :ll:;ed. tallied with those on the . LEDOUX OUTWITS POLICE ' IN SALE OF UNEMPLOYED Gets Around Law by Selling Beds for $1—With Stipula- tion. Forbidden by the police to stage an'! actual auction sale of his “human | documents,” Urban Ledoux, self-styled ; leader of the unemployed, neverthe- | less staged an auction yesterday at. 225 Pennsylvania avenue that practi- cally involved the sale of men. Ledoux sold for $1 aplece fifty beds and blankets that have been used in the “Btepping Stone,” or home for the | unemployed, for the past two weeks, and in doing 8o contracted with the purchaser to secure jobs or some sort of employment for fifty men. Rev. A. H. Zimmerman, founder of the' Helpers from the Hills, agreed to take the fifty beds at the stipulated price and find work for fifty members of Ledoux’s “army of unemployed.” | The other fifty beds, Ledoux an- nounced, were for sale to any bidders on t1s samg plan, but no bids were received. The ‘“Stepping Stone,” Ledoux temporary clubhohuse fo* unem ployed meén, was jammed to the doors with a curious crowd, none of whom seemed to be present for the serious business of selling men which Le- doux had advertised. i Dr. Zimmerman agreed to secure employment for fifty men at a mini- mum wage set by Ledoux of 40 cents °n heu~ $3 a day or $18 a week. The men will be taken to the farm of the| H-lne's ‘rom the Hills. at Elkins, Va., | until jobs can be obtained for them. 60 GIRLS IN BEAUTY CHORUS. | With more than sixty girls com- prising a beauty chorus, St. Patricks’ | Players are rehearsing “Leave It to Pierre,” a two-act musical comedy, which will be presented at Carroll Hall during the week of November 14.
