WASHINGTON, Aug. 2% (Copy- Tight, 1920)—Oharies Evans Hughes and William Howard Taft probably will be appointed to the first two va- Canci¢s on the Supreme Court of the United Staten that may occur after March 4 next in the event that Sen- ator Harding is elected President, ‘This f# the impression in well-in- formed quartera here where it is also stated rather positively that there will be at least two vacancios before long on the bench of the high- est court in the land, The certainty that Messrs. Hughes and Taft would be the choice of a Republican Pres- ident is based upon logical ctreum- stances as well as the known friend- ship and admiration which Senator Harding has for the two men who have contributed so much toward the Republican cause in the past. Mr. Hughes was on the bench, happy and contented, when the call of the Republican Party came in 1916. He waa reluctant to be a candidate, He didn’t lift @ finger to get the nom- ination. Indeed, it was feared he Would not accept, and the story goes that Mr. Taft, who originally ap- |pointed Mr. Hughes to the bench, | spent the evening before the Chicago nomination with Mr. Hughes in Washington ‘and persuaded him to make the race, Hughes made the fight and was defeated. tis return to private practice hus been tugrative, but those who know Hughes best say he has been homesick for the Su- preme Bench, As for Mr. Taft, there was a vacan- ey on the bench just before Justice Clarke of Ohio was appointed, and the friends of the Repoblican ex-President wrote many a letter to President Wil- son urging him to appoint Mr. Taft. ‘The White House of course never makes any comment on these things, but at the time considerable gossip Tan around the national capital to the effect that Mr. Taft had fallen out of the good graces of the President be- cause of the support which he (Mr. Taft) gave toward the movement for the election of a Republican Congress in 1918, ‘The political fortunos of Mr, ‘Taft and Mr. Hughes have been bound to- wether for many years, The elevation gossip had it that Mr. Taft was en- deavoring to remove from the political ‘horizon his most serious contender for renomination in 1912, Both Mr. Taft and Mr. Hughes by their published statements and com- munications took @ stand on the League of Nations before the Chicago convention met this year, which dit- fers materially from that since ad- vanced by Senator Harding, It is no secret that the Republican nominee and his political associates have beev more or less anxious about the dilemma of men like Mr, Taft or Mr, Hughes or Mr. Hoover, who had committed themselves to views quite opposite to those of Hiram Johnson On the other hand, the political advice that hag been given the Lv- publican nominee ts that the Hirum Johnson view is at the moment u better vote-getting position, His worrles about the other elements in the Republican Party have caussd many a conference, Tho feeling hore is that the consultation with Mr Hughes means somewhat of a turn toward the Hughes-Taft position the ratification of the treaty of Ver jaaiiles rather than as some Demo- jerats here would have it—a vid for | their support on the expectation of | @ppointment to the Supreme Court jtater on. Neither Mr. Taft nor Mr, Hughes is the type of statesman to whom prom- ides of reward would appeal in uo matter vital to them as the League of Nations issue, and Senator Harding is considered here too high grade an individual to play that kind | of politics So the xeneral inference which in | being drawn by those who are in & position to know what is going on in. | side the Republican camp is that! Senator Harding will soon make a} speech—probably on Saturday neat—| amplifying his League of Nations views in such 4 Way as will command | the more hearty support of those who have shared the views of Mesars, Taft and Hughes, The impression exists, too, that | Senator Harding how been permuad believe that he will get the “bitte er" or “irreconcilable” support, Janyway, and that he might gust an l approximate the position that he| BAGGAGE TIED UP $200,000 a Year Says /Ex- press Co, Manager. * ‘The combination lockout and strike which has paralyzed the operation of the New York Transfer Company and the Westoott Express Company will endurb vinti] next Monday at least.

Article 1, Section 2 of the Tene- ment House Law reads: “A ‘tene- Ment house’ ls any house or build- ing, or portion thereof, which {s elther rented, leased, ‘let or hired out, to be occupled/ or Is occupied, in whole cr in part, ds the home or residence of three families or more living independently of each other, and doing thelr cook- ing upon the premises, and in- cludes apartment houses, * flat- houses and #ll other houses so occupied.” Senator Dowling introduced this very measure during the session of lust winter, former Assistant District Attorney Ralph P. Buell having col- laborated in Its drafting, but with- drew it in deference to the Joint Committee named by both Houses to have charge of all housing legisla- tion. ‘The bill reads as follows: “Rent limited in leases of apart- ments. In ‘all cities of this State having a population of 1,600,000 or over, orfin any part, borough, sec- tion, ward or block thereof, no con- tract of rental for residential pur- poses of any part of a tenement house, as @ tenement house is de- fined by the Tenement House Law, shall be made conditioned upon the payment of rent at a rate greater than 10 per cent. net of the actual value of such part, Actual value of a tenement house shall be presumed to be the valuation assessed for pur- poses of taxution plus 20 per cent. of such assessment. “Provision may be made in such contract that the increased cost, if any, of operation or maintenance of such tenement house, occurring sub- sequently to the execution of sucb contract, and while the tenant {8 in possession, may be apportioned, and that such tenant shall pay at monthly intervals his or ber pro rata share of such cost. “In every action or special proceed- ing to enforce any provision of a con- tract of rental for residential pur- poses of any part of a tenement house, the landlord, owner or other person making such contract of rental or hisor theiragent or representative must allege and prove that such con- tract is not one hereby prohibited, A contract hereby prohibited shall not be vold, but the tenant shall be en- titled to any excess of rent or as- sessment pald. case any provi- sion hereof shall be declared uncon- stitutional, the remaining provisions shail be unaffected.
