For three hours the joint congres- sional committee heard the support- ers of the proposed permanent rent law for the District of Columbla. Mrs. Henry C. Brown, secretary of the Tenants’ League, active in mar- shaling the witnesses before the com- mittee, suffered a heart attack as she concluded her own statement. Seeing her evident distress, Senator Cope- land, a physiclan and former health commissioner of New York, hurried to her side as she sat huddled In a chair. He manned one side of the chair as Mrs. Brown was carried out of the caucus room and across the hall to Senator Copeland’s office, where she was given treatment by the Senator. Later Mrs. Brown was able to go to her home. Attacks Bring Cheers. Several hundred tenants and a sprinkling of real estate men gather- ed In the big room for the hearing. The tenseness of the atmosphere was apparent in the bursts of applause which came from the crowd when a witness would make a telling remark, ing the landlords. Representative Blanton of Texas, an opponent of the proposed bill, was flatly defied by one witness, Miss M D. Nalls, when he questioned her as to her {ncome and her place of em- ployment. She is employed in one of the department stores. As she left the stand Mrs. Florence B. Merrill was on her feet demanding that the time used by Mr. Blanton in_ asking the witness questions be deducted from the elght hours allowed by the committee to the proponents of the rent bill. “Mr. Blanton's questions are utterly ridiculous,” said Mrs. Merrill. Mr. Blanton with some heat an- nounced that he intended to put such questions as he saw fit, that he did not intend to be controlled in this matter by the chalrman, members of the committee or the witnesses. Blanton Is Irked. “I ask the chalrman not to allow me to be lectured by witnesses here,” said Mr. Blanton. He added that If the hearing was not to be conducted in an orderly manner, with full op- portunity to question the witnesses, he did not care to participate in it “I can get my full rights in the House itself if this legislation comes | before it,” said Mr. Blanton. | Finally Senator Ball, chairman, threatened to discontinue the hearing it there was not order in the room and if the applause was persisted in The committee sought earnestly to obtain evidence which would sub- stantiate general charges made earlier in the day that tenants had been threatened with eviction or harsh ds, or the real estate agents, should they carry thelr grievances elther to the Rent the congressional committee.

E. Norfleet, who formerly ived in an apartment at 1107 Eleventh street, told the committee f that George W. Linkins, the owner of the property, had satd to his wife, Mrs. Norfleet, that “he was going to get us out because we went to the Commission to get our rent reduced.” “We are out” sald the witness, adding that an eviction notice had | been served on him, | Mrs. Norfleet took the stand. She the committee that the on thing which the owner had against them as tenants was that they had applied to the Rent Commission, and that he had admitted it before the Rent Commission, In the Municipal Court, she said, Judge Meehan had told her, “Don't cou mention the Rent Commission in this court. It is like waving a red flag before a bull.” Repairs Are Refused. Charles S. Davis of 456 Louisiana avenue, employed In the Department Agent In who aid Robert lord of his former dwelling had threatened him if he went to the Rent Commission, and said that the landlord, who would not make any repairs after he had gone to the com- mission, explained that he refused to do so because-the Rent Commission had beeen appealed to by Mr. Davis. “The housing situation here has been the cause of the disruption of my family,” said Mr. Davis. “My wife and my daughter have gone to New York to llve, where they can rent a | dwelling for less than we could here | in Washington.” “That's because we have a rent law in New York,” suggested Senator Copeland.

THE AS LANDLORDS AT RENT PROBE witnesses appearing last night was that rents have been advanced great- ly in recent months—since the court decision which practically made the Rent Commission inoperative; that service In several apartment houses had deterforated greatly, particularly in Clifton Herrace and in the Plaza. Plea for Colored Tenants. An especial plea to the joint com- mittee was made on behalf of the colored tenants of the District, par- ticularly those of the poorer class, by Rev. John Milton Waldron and Rev. C. A. Devaughn. They described the conditions of the alley dwellings in the District in which so many colored people live, and declared that huge increases in the rents for these di- lapidated buildings recently had been demanded by the owners. The first witness last night was Mrs. Margaret A. Hampton of the Vancouver Apartment, 1820 K street, owned by C. C. Maher. Mrs. Hampton complained of lack of heat. She made no protest against the rent. For the last six weeks, she said, she had been 80 {1l and uncomfortable that she scarcely had been able to speak. She is employed in the Children's Bureau of the Labor Department, and sald that such conditions made it difficult for Government employes to work ef- fictently. “What excuse did the landlord give for not providing heat?’ asked Sen- ator Jones. “Enough_to make me dizzy plied Mrs. Hampton. “Lack of proper coal, engine out of order, etc.” Rent Was Doubled. Mrs. C. V. Hyde, 519 Stanton place northeast, testified that the rent that she had been paying for her apartment had been Increased since 1917 from $41.50 to $75. The Rent Commission had fixed the rent of the apartment at $70. She sald that she refused to pay more than $70, and that when January 1 came around she had been notified the rent was $85 and she received an evic- tion notice. Mrs. Hyde sald that she was a Gov- ernment clerk at $130 a month; that she has four children and a sister, who lives with her and keeps house. One of her sons has recently become a mes- senger at $60 a month. Her apartment, she sald, contained six rooms and bath. She said that she had tried to find another place, but everywhere ran from $100 to $150 for similar space. Mrs. Margaret H. Worrell of East Clifton Terrace, employed as an attor- ney in the Interior Department, told the mittee that the rent for her apar war had been $32.50, had been raised to §48, and since Mau- rico Baskin took over the apartment, had been further raised to $65. She had refused to pay the increase and had been served with a notice of eviction. She had two rooms, kitchen and bath. Mrs. Worrell testified that she had been unable to find any other place at a rea- sonable rental. She told the committ of cases of other tenants who are being compelled to pay high rents | Tells of Crowding. | Mr. Blanton protested that this was mere hearsay testimony. Mrs. Wor. rell insisted that Government clerks | are afraid to say anything. She sald that in some es conditions are so bad that five or six girls are living together. Senator Jones asked where five or six girls were living together in a room. “I can't tell you offhand,” Mrs. Worrell. She said supply the Information Another tenant of East Clifton Ter- race, Miss M. B. Nalls, then took the stand. She testified that the rent on her apartment, which had been $27.50 in 1315, had now been raised to §55, She con- tinued to send the rent she had been paying of $40 a month and received an eviction notice along with a let- ter saying that her money would be held in trust until she got out. She told_the committee that the service, which had been very good when Mr. Wardman owned the apartment, now was “terrible”; that hot water was obtainable only once a day, and that mail and packages for tenants were thrown in helter-skelter. She testified she was emwloyed in a department store “What is your salary?” Blanton. Salary Is “Nobody's Business.” replied she would asked Mr. “I think that is nobody's business but my own,” replied Miss Nalls. Senator Ball and Representative Hammer expressed the opinion that the witness did not have to answer this question if she did not wish to do so. “She comes here voluntarily, and if she wants her testimony taken seri- ously she should answer pertinen questions,” said Mr. Blanton. “Do you own an automobile?” Mr. Blanton “No, 1 can't Nalls. A moment later Mr. Blanton asked Miss Nalls what department store she worked She declined to answer and®left the stand Dr. D. chwartz of the Plaza Apartment, at Washington Circle, em- ployed in the Bureau of Chemistry $3,000 a year, told the committee ihat his apartment rented for $40 bef the war and now $80 was being de- manded. It contains three large a_small breakfast room and hen. The service, he declared, was very poor and asked afford one,” said Miss GENUINE _ PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE 11.

When the last in- crease was demanded he looked around for another place to live and found he would. only be worse off if he moved, the witness said. Next witness was Mrs. L. T. man of Clifton Terrace. She, testified that the service in that poor. he said she had one room, kitchenette and bath, the rent of which had been $57.50. She finally moved out. She saild she had received threatening letters from Maurice Baskin demanding that the rent be paid until & new tenant was found, although she said that he had agreed to allow her to go whenever she wished. Comparisons Are Cited. Mrs. Brown displayed before the committee charts showing rentals previously charged and now de- manded in several apartment houses, including the Damariscota, at 918 Elghteenth street, where all but three tenants had been served with notices to quit. Other apartments which she discussed were the Grant, at 320 B street northeast, and the Earlington Apartments, on Sixteenth street, where increases had been de- manded, she sald. In the latter place she said that girls had showed her an apartment where they have to call upon the janitor to shovel plaster out of the bath rooms which has dropped off the cellings. Rev. John Milton Waldron of the Shiloh Baptist Church, who has been working for years to improve condl- tions among the colored alley dwell- ers of Washington, sald that to his surprise rents in alley dwellings had been increased from $7 to $17.50 and in some cases as high as $24.50. These bulldings, he said, had been con- structed years ago and many of them were in bad condition. Any repairs are made at the expense of the ten- ant. Dor- too, Sees Conditions Aggravated. This raising of rent has caused a rise in the price of rooms in order to get the rént that must be pald. The number of people in these houses has been increased, aggravating the alley conditions.” Senator Copeland volunteered that he had never seen such evil living conditions in any place outside of the Natlonal Capital. Representative Blanton, by a series of questions, sought to show that the existence of a Rent Commission has not improved alley conditions. The witness testified, however, that all those who had gone bofore the Rent Commission had benefited there- by. He said that just as soon as the Rent Commission had gone out of business the landlords raised the rents. Rev. C. A. Devaughn also told the committee about the conditions among | the colored people. He sald that rents for them were very high and had been almost doubled. To California Via New Orleans.

At the annual meeting of the association last night a resolution opposing the proposed rent act was adopted with but one dissenting volce, it Is sald. George C. Gertman, secre- tary of the association, was directed to forward a copy of the resolution to Congress. Daniel W. O'Donoghue was elected president of the assoclation for the ensulng vear, with Conrad H. Syme as first vice president and Abner H. Ferguson as second vice president. George C. Gertman, as secretary, and W. W. Millan, as treasurer, were re- 2lected. Willlam E. Leahy, Arthur P. ‘rury and Alvin L. Newmyer were ade members of the board of direc- s of the association. The resolution against rent legisla- n adopted by the association reads “Whereas certain leglslation known as the District of Columbia rents act is now being agitated, which adverse- 1y affects fundamental rights of the people of the District of Columbia and is prejudicial to owners of rental property and In favor of occupants of xuch property; and “Whereas, by sald proposed legisla- tion, the control of rental property in sald District is delegated to a com- mission not responsible to any de- partment of the Government of the United States, with Inquisitorfal and arbitrary powers, vet having certain Judicial and regulatory functions not reviewable in any court; and “Whereas the principle upon which said proposed legislation is predicated has been expressly disapproved by the Supreme Court of the United States nd by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columba: \ “Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Bar Assoclation of the District of Columbia, That it Is unqualifiedly op- posed to the passage of the proposed District of Columbia rents act or any similar legislation.” rent bill. He said that the rent legislation in the District :ea already created much ill will beivcen tenants and landlords, which had never be- fore existed. He said that the Real Estate Board stood ready to do what it could to meet the conditions that might_arise. He called attention to his offer to the Tenants' League, made some time ago, and to the sug- gestion submitted by the board to the President. In reply to questions from Repre- sentative Blanton, Mr. Petty declared he believed the enactment of the pendirg bill inte law would halt building operations absolutely in the District. He said that since rent legis- lation had been in effect here not a single small dwelling house or two- family flat for rental purpcses has been erected here. In the past, he sald, there were many such buildings constructed to rent. The building operations which have gone on are in the main high-class apartment houses. Keeps Money Away, He Says. Mr. Petty told the committee that there would be ample money here for building operations if such legisla- tion were not on the books. Edward T.

He described the situation which had arisen in New York and the law there enacted. The tendency, he sald, had been to drive old landlords who had the Interests of their tenants at | heart to dispose of their propertles, | which had been taken over by traders | who had no love for the tenants. The first witness put on the stand today were Chlef Duputy Marshal Callahan and Deputy Marshal Tuohey, who testified regarding the case of Mrs. J. K. Tschipke, who was evicted from an apartment in 1300 Massachu- setts avenue. Mr. Callahan testified that Mrs. Tachipke had called at his office and wanted to have the marshal evict her and have newspaper men present. She came back the following week and in- sisted that they put her out, he said. Declares She Was IlL Mre. Tschipke appeared before the Joint committee yesterday and gave her side of the case, declaring that she had even offered to pay the additional rent demanded by the landlord. She also in- sisted that she was ill at the time her effects were moved out into the snow. Mr. Blanton asked If Mrs. Tschipke seemed sick when she came to the marshal's office. replied Mr. Callahan. “If she had, I would have appealed to the real estate agent. He would have listened to me. I have made appeals In the past and they have always listened to me.” Representative Hammer wanted to know if Mr. Callahan knew that Mrs. Tschipke had offered her old rent and the advance asked by the la:d- lord. Callahan said he knew nothing| about that. Deputy Marshal D. C. Toohey, who served the writ of eviction on Mrs. Tschipke on January 9, told the com- mittee that he had been met at the | door by two photographers and al couple of newspaper men. Mrs. Tschipke came to the door, he said, looklng as though she had just gotten | up. PShe sald something about not feel- ing well then,” sald Mr. Toohey. o3 sald 1 was sorry that she had been notified about the action. Many of her things were packed up and ap- parently ready to go. She said she would have to call an ambulance and &0 to a hospital. She lifted a lot of things that I do not think she could have lifted if she had been very sick.” Denles Notifying Newspapers. Mr. Toohey denfed that the news- papers had been notified by him. The committee questioned Mr. Cal- lahan about the nnmber of evictions and eviction notices served before and after the Rent Commission had been practically put out of business by the decision of the courts. He told the committee that from August 20 to De- cember 31, 1,609 writs of restitution had been fssued. He said that he thought that perhaps 1 per cent of the tenants had been put out. A great many such writs, he sald, were issued because people failed to pay their rent. “There is a class of people here who will not pay rent until they are forced to,” said Mr. Callahan. “What per cent of eviction notices Glasses Fitted OPTOMETRIST 809 11th St. Eyes Ex Main 288 Laundering Made Easy! __ HOW? —West End ROUGH DRY SERV- ICE returns your clothes beautifully washed and starched, when neces- sary.

BADEN Assistant Trust Officer ARTHUR PETER General Counsel are for non-payment of rent?” asked Mr. Blanton, Mr. Callahan answered 98% and 99 per cent. He said he thought this probably was true of the 1,508 notices issued from August to December. Senator Ball and Senator Copeland suggested that perhaps many of these cases of non-payment of rent had arisen where the tenants had re- fused to pay increases demanded of them. At the request of the commit- tee, Mr. Callahan agreed to submit figures showing the number of evic- tion notices served for the six months before the re~t act became inoper- ative. Mr. Callahan suggested that if the Government would pay living wages to its employes, they could pay the rents. To this Senator Jones | replied that if salaries were in- creased the rents would go up corre- | spondingly. The tendency here, Mr. | Callahan sald, is for Government em- | ployes to live in the northwest, when | the salaries correspond to rents| charged in the northeast. Argue Over Slums. Mrs. Mary E. Slattery, a property owner, appeared in opposition to the | pending bill. She insisted that there | were no slums in Washington and that there had been no real shortage | of rooms here during the war. Sena- | tor Jones asked her if she owned any property in the alleys and Mrs. | Slattery replied that she did. She sald, however, that she had visited the alley dwellings and that they were sanitary and in good shape. Senator Copeland took issue with her, declar- ing that they did not have as bad slums In New York as here. ‘When Mr. Petty took the stand he sald that he had never authorized an one to send word to Senator (Continued on Fourth Page.) | Finest Location in Washington Edmonds Building 917 Pifteersn Street East Side McPhcuen Square Ten Stories Twe Elevators Bright Rooms Rich Woodwork Moderate Rentals & WARrDMAN 1430 K Street Main 3830 (o For the Gill OIL BURNER MUTUAL SERVICE, Inc. 1411 N.
