PRESIDENT SHOWS KEEN INTEREST IN BALL RENT LAW (Continued from First Page.) around the Ball rent law by refusing to rent their properties to prospec- tive tenants, she said tod: It would seem that this hoarding is comparable to hoarding practices during the war and that it is becom- ing widespread in nature,” Mrs. Tay- lor said. “The apparent purpose is to withdraw rental properties from the market to evade conflict with rent laws and in some cases to place them on the sale market. There is evidence that some landlords are deliberately holding their vacant premises by ask- ing exorbitant prices of prospective occupants. This _practice, probably place the rent commission }in the light of creating a house fam- ine in Washington, Mrs.. Taylor be- lieves, and would cause a shortage of housing accommodations in Washing- {ton that will imperil the welfare of {the city, she stated. | One communication relates the ex- | perience of one homeseeker Who in- lquired as to a number of vacant rental proporties and who found that they were not now for rent. or were if continued. would which there can be no permanent Ppeace on this continent.

Real estate agents today denied !that they had any policy of with- holding rental spective tenants. It was inferred, how- ever, that individual owners may have adopted this polic: Charles W. Fairfax said that news that individual property owners are i holding their rental properties should {cause no surprise, in_view of re- strictive legisiation. He said that he had not heard of any specific cases in this respect, however. The United States Supreme Court to- day heard the case of Anna Heitmul- ler versus Sylvester Stokes, on appeal from the Court of Appeals of the Dis- trict of Columbia, arising under the Saulsbury resolution. At the same time was heard argument on 4 motion of the appellee to dismiss the writ of error on the ground that the cause of action had ceased to exist, and “that there is8 Dow no actual controversy involving Teal and substantial rights between the parties to the record, and no subject matter upon which the judgment of the court can operate.” The appellee claims that the writ of rror was allowed in this case be- use the constitutionality of the aulsbury resolution was held to be involved and “that act has been in- a_subsequent act, the The plaintiff brought e assignments of error, the first being that the court below erred in nLolding the Saulsbury act unconstitu- tional. Chapin Brown appeared for the plaintiff and Wharton E. Lester for the defendant. At the outset of the argument Mr. Justice Pitney suggested that if it should be established that the case has become moot, the proper action would be to reverse the decree of the lower courts and send the case back with direction to dismiss the whole proceeding. Mr. Justice Van- deventer concurred in this decision. Later in the day the court also heard the cases involving suit brought by the District against a number of District merchants for the use of vault space beneath the side- alk adjacent to their premises.

Impressed, however, with the seriousness of the issues involved as they affect the whole world, the government of the United States feels itself to be deeply concerned with the question of obtaining an early and just solution. This government strongly desires that there should be an immediate resumption of negotiations, and reiterates its earnest hope that the German government will promptly formulate such proposal as would present a proper basis for discussion. Should the Germa government take this course, this government will consider bringing the matter to the attention of the allied governments in a manner ac- ceptable to them in order that negotiations may speedily be resumed. {RUMORED RESIGNATION |EMERGENCY TARIFF.BILL OF MASARYK IS DENIED PROVISIONS ATTACKED ex- the to on iCzechoslovak Legation Here De- clares President Has Not Quit. 111 Health Explained.

Plan Meets Approval. r and officials of the publ health service have talked with Senator Smoot re garding the proposed new department and find him in entire accord with the plan. Herbert D. Brown, director of the United States bureau of offi- ciency, also h seen Gen. Sawy regarding the plan. having talked with him today. Findings of the {Dawes committee will be embodied in the measure. The report of th Dawes committee is said to have the entire support of the organized veterans of the world war. Dr. Sawyer pointed out today that the scope of the work of the publi health service, in co-operation the bureau of war risk insuranc quires some sort of centralizal 3 program, such as he proposed yester- day before the Senate committee on education and labor. The public health service, Gen. Saw)cr said, is at pres- ent working in cizhiteen government agencies, includinz practically all the departments and Several bureaus in the District of Columbia. Work in ail these units is necessary, he said. Agencies Already at Work. When the republican administra- ftion took hold of the general reor- ganization program, with its direct corollary, that of economy in admin- istration, Gen. Sawyer said, it found all the necessary agencies for public welfare work already functioning The work was pretty thoroughly de- centralized, however, and it was in timated there might be overlapping and duplication. All the organization needs at present is a central directing agency and some o ® up of the ma- chinery to function at top speed The matter of education must essarily follow that of medical atten- tion, Gen. Sawyer said. Veterans® or- ganizations are pressing their claims for education coincidentally with that of relief, but in all probability the relief proposed will receive first consideration.
