Tuberculosis Prisoner Transfer Demanded at District Jail
Knowledge of a prisoner with tuberculosis at the United States jail prompted Commissioner West to arrange a transfer to the District tuberculosis hospital if jail officials accept responsibility. Dr. Smith urged safe confinement but warned hospital space lacks prisoner facilities. Warden McKee appeals to President Roosevelt after Justice Barnard says he lacks authority to act, calling for hospital care or pardon. The jail’s unsanitary conditions risk others as calls grow for an isolated hospital and better facilities.

Own Your Town Home Buy Now In Washington Ad Scheme
A promotional piece urges readers to buy homes rather than rent, claiming thousands in Washington are doing so. It explains a sample plan: buy a $3,250 house with a $150 down, then $20 monthly payments, totaling about $4,490 over 13 years. It compares this to renting $25 monthly for 13 years, which yields only rent receipts.
