Seven hundred members of the Fair Play Rent Association of the Bronx got a clear understanding of the new rent laws at the weekly meeting of the organization last night in Public School No, 46, Briggs Ave- nue and 196th Street. Those sections pertaining to criminal statutes were defined by District Attorney Francia Martin, and Owen 8. Tierney, counsel to the association, put the civil laws into layman's language. The tenants loudly cheered the as- sertion made by Mr. Martin that Iyndlords were now in the firm grip of the law and could not evade their duty to tenants, “No matter what you may read in the papers of opinions expressed by Justices of the Municigal Court,” said District: Attorney Martin, “I can as- sure you that there is no loophole for the landlora who seeks to victimize you. Nor is thero any loophole his agent, janitor or Superintend They can’ all go to Jail, and T pledge |the entire staff of ‘my’ office to the work of putting them there if tenants do not get a square deal “The new Jaw dealing with this situation was passed at my, request, after I had received at the Special Rent Bureau in my office thousands of complain Water was turned off, telephones were discontinued, gas and jelectric lights were shut off, elevator ce SLopped--overything was done to make tenants’ stay in the premises | uncomfortable, Mind you, we in- | veatiguted each case.

If the landlord tries to ‘pass the buck’ to the janitor, or vice versa, we can grt them both now, and we'll get them, if fou makd your complaint, and it is sybstanti- ted by our investigators.” . Trerney was equally confident that the so-called civil laws were of value to the tenant and considerably improved the tenant's position “No matter what may be said by Justices, who are inclined to give pre- liminary opinions," said Mr. Tierney, “the laws are helpful to the tenants Too much thanks cannot be given to The Evening World for its great fight for the special session, and also for the new laws. If there are any Judges who think the laws can be twisted we will soon take the matter where they ean be set right.” The meeting, presided over by George Donnelly, President and or- wanizer of the Fair Play Rent Aasc tation, brought out a big crowd de pite the wenther, A resolution offered hy Chairman Donnelly, thanking The Evening World for ita Meht tn their behalf, was enthusiastically adopted. a Man Killed on Second Aye. “1 ‘Troek An unidentified man, walking on tho Second Avenue “L" tracks at Grand and Allen atroets, was atruck and killed by a southbound tral to-day, He waa bout twenty-oleht Senrn olf, 5 feat & inches, 160 pountn. slown ahaven and woartng a two-nlece brown suit, brown socks, blnek shoes with gray tops and © white shirt with green stripes, Evening World Thanked In Bronx for Fight That Won Strong Rent Laws Deo. 4, 1916, in St. Bartholomew's Church, and have a three-year-old daughter whose custody was awarded Greece, to intervene as creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings against George D.
