WILL HOLD CONFERENCE ON HOUSING PROBLEM Any One Interested Invited to At- tend Meeting at District Build- ing Tomorrow. Organizations and individuals In- terested in the housing problem in Washington arc invited to atténd a conference with the board of Commis- sionafs at the District building at 10 o'clock_tomorrow morning. Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover and Senator King of Utah, who have made a close study of this problem, will speak. Commissioner Rudolph explained to- day that the meeting had to ar- iranged hastily because of plans Sec- retary Hoover had made to leave the city. ~ Decision to hold the meeting tomorrow was not reached until 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and there was not sufficient time to send direct invitations to all civic and trade or- ganizations. . The chairman of the board of Com- missioners said that all citizens in- terested in the question should con- sider the announcement of the meet- ing as an invitation. The fact that the law closing all al- ley dwellings in the District will be- come effective before the end of this year unless extended by Congress further complicates Washington's housing situation. Congress provided that the alley- closing law should go into operation one year after peace with Germany. Realizing that there are few homes m—aunblwn front streets within the means of®he alley dwellers, the Com- missioners have asked Congress to postpone operation of the law for two years. It is expected that the alley question will form an important part of the discussion tomorrow. MRS. VOTAW LOSES PLEA. Court Overrules Demurrer in Her Behalf in Damage Suit.
