The rooming house where the Wil- liams robbery, at 1227 Sixteenth street, iast Supday night, was planned and details discussed the six bandits who robbed Mrs. Norman Williams, her danghter and a friend of valuable jewelry fn a daring raid, was revealed today as a honse on Seventh street coween K and 1, streets. Joseph Davideff, captured member of: the ndit gang, has becn recognized as one of the roomers who stayed at the house from noun Saturday, March 6, to shortly after noon the, following o few hours before the robbery of the tashionable enth street-howme.

The one room The information given The Star to dav places the number of the gang definitely at Police have been pro- ceding on the theory that only three men were involved in the robbery while emploves of the Willlams home insist six men tock part in the affair. Detectives today place little cre. dence in the identification of David off as one of the gang which held up the Ohio Lunchroom, 804 K street, last Friday, after striking James Bell, a colored porter, over the head. Bell is at Emergency Hospital suf- fering from a fractured skull. and is not In condition to recognize his assailant, according to police. He iously described the man ck him as red-haired, about 5 feet 9 inches in helght and welgh- ing 170 or 180 pounds. Davidoff. who gave hig name as Joseph Peter Davis when arrested Sunday night. is about 5 feet 4 inches in height. with dark hair and weighs about 125 pounds. Police Watch for Clues. Inspector Henry G. Pratt, chief of detectives, has worked personally on i the case and was at his office today going over all its angles, even though today was a day off for the detective chief. Police have relinquished their surveillance of underworld haunts, but are still keeping a careful watch of several places where they think clues may develop. They have prac- tically discarded the theory that the robbery was an “inside job” in the face of the grilling given the maids at the Willlams' home and a separate inquiry’ instituted yesterday by agents of the Department of Justice, who quizzed the servants regarding the revenue badge which the bandit lead- er flashed when the gang entered the Willlams home Sunday night. The number of the badge is considered important. New York police had not replied today to letters and telegrams from the Washington police asking the whereabouts of James McIntyre, & discharged employe of Mrs. Willlams. Meclntyre, the Washington police have learned was sentenced to a 15- vear term in Sing Sing for a theft in New York State. He was discharged from the Williams employ for alleged theft of silver. g PHILADELPHIA MAYOR THANKED BY WILBUR Navy Secretary Appreciates School Board Assisting Campaign to Rebuild Constitution. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur ex- pressed his appreciation, In a message today to Mayor W. F. Kendrick of Philadeiphia, of the action of the school board of that city in author- izing the presentation of the cam- paign to rebulld the revolutionary war frigate Constitution to the school chil- dren of the Quaker City. “It is peculiarly appropriate that the claims of the Constitution should be presented to the school children of the ity in which the Constitution was formulated and presented to the peo- ple of the United States for adoption,” said the Navy Secretary. “We trust that the presentation of the claim of the frigate Constitution, whose censtruction was authorized by George Washington and which so ef- fectively operated to preserve the Na- tion organized under its new Constl- tution, will be heipful in developing that patriotism and love of country so essential to the maintenance of the U'nion. While it will be impos- sible to have the Constitution visit Philadelphla during the celebration of the sesquicentennial, the U. 8. 8.

At the same time Mr. Lanham a nounced a departure from the poli )¢ planting softwood trees of the kind which have lin Washington's main thoroughfares for years The tree department will confine its replanting in the future solely to American elms, red oak for wide streets and boulevards and Norway maples for streets and avenues of moderate wi Mr. Lanham said, discarding the use of the fast growing sycamore, a softwood tree, which spreads its limbs wide and gives con. siderable shade. The elm. oak and maple are classed also as fast grow- ers and good shade trees. The three downtown streets being or to be widened will not be shaded by trees of the same size as those cut down or to be cut down for many years. even though as soon as the widening of Eleventh street, Il street and Connecticut avenue is completed trees will be planted. The trees placed along the sidewalks of these thorough- fares, however, will be small, and will require many vears to reach mature xrowth. “The present generation will not live to see these streets shaded by trees of the size of the present syeamores,” Mr. Lanham said. Many Fall Before Ax. One hundred and eleven trees have been cut in the widening of E street from Fifth to Thirteenth streets; 80 trees will be cut in the widening of Eleventh street from Pennsylvania avenue to New York avenue, while about 75 of the old sycamores which nave shaded Connecticut avenue so 1ong will be cut down when the widen- ing of that thoroughfare begins from K street to Eighteenth street. The tree and parking department is working under an appropriation of $78,000 for the current vear, the same amount that is carried in the District anoropriation bill now before Con gress. This is considerably more than the appropriation for past years. At hearings before District subcom: mittees last week Engineer Commis sloner Bell declared that Washington |’ should maintain its reputation as a city of beautiful trees, and sald he regarded a city whose streets are lined with shade trees beautiful if only in that respect. tinued large appropriations for tree replacement and maintenance. Mr. Lanham hopes to see the streets of the city remain lined with trees, even though the street widening pro. gram will involve elimination of many old shade trees whose successors will not grow to large size for many years. He sald the tree department is several weeks behind its replacement program because of the inclement weather of the Winter.

ECCLES,sW. Va., March 10—The known death toll in the Crab Orchard Improvement Co. mine _explosion reached 14 this morning, when 3 more bodies were located within the work- ings where 29 men were entombed Monday. Ten were found alive Ilnst night and five are still missing, but company officials and rescue workers were hapetul that at least two of the five still lived. They were working in & section of the mine isolated from the blast, it was thought. The 10’ men brought out alive were in excellent physical condition, and in relating their experiences and telling of their thoughts while entombed, all agreed that they never once gave up hope of rescue. P.-J. Davis, night foreman, was the leader of the little band, and to his experience and cool- ness the men credited their safety. Under the cirection of Davis a bar- ricade of lumber and stones plastered with mud was thrown up, and behind this the men found protection from ‘he poisonous fumes. Questioned as to how they spent the 26 hours of their imprisonment, the miners said they talked for the most part, but that nothing was said about thelr possible fate f help did not reach them within a reasonable perod.

Each pli; but a emall proportion of the moderate first payment required. They were formed into a corporation and occupied the building co-operatively. They were their own tenants and their monthly payments were less than rent, as they were based on actnal cost. They elimi- nated all the wastes of a rented building and there was no income to a Landlord. These tenants bought the building for themselves. An apartment building was built and sold to an enterprising individual who had just enough money to make a mod- erate first payment. The balance of the purchase price was payable in monthly installments. To finish paying for the building he had to secure tenants. They were easy to get, and their rental pay- ments bought the building for him, paid the cost of operating it, and furnished him a fair income besides. Then he sold the building at a profit. The building had increased in value and the new owner was entitled to higher rents to insure a fair return on his in- vestment. Then the building increased in value. They paid no rent at all, but had actually made a big profit on their orig- inal investments, and no one could serve them with the dread “Notice of Increased Rentals.” Then the tenants received the “Notice of Increased Rentals.” Of These Two Classes of Tenants, to Which Would You Belong?
