LANDLORD OF TENEMENT
PUTS TAX UPON BIRTHS
Also Grades Rents According to the
Number of Children in
Each Family

NEW YORK, March 5.-Thirty
families from the tenement at Goe-
reck street will march to the Essex
street court in a body tomorrow and
demand relief from the exactions from
Landlord Elias Russ. who is de-
ncunced by his tenants as the militant
apostle of race suicide.
Russ, it is alleged by his tenants,
has graded his rents by the number
of children in each family The main
cause of complaint, however, is that he
taxes each child born in the tenement
at the rate of so cents a head This
appalling taxation has driven the ten
ants frantic and they will plead for
redress.

NEW YORK. March 5.-Mr. and
Mrs. Willie James, perhaps the most
favored by King Edward Of any cou-
pie in England, have left New York
for California.
Their reception in New York was of
the warmest, the fashionable hostesses
of the city rivaling each other in the
lavish entertainment offered the no.
table visitors. The Jameses will be
entertained by the Whitelaw Reids
at Milbrae, the d. D. Mills place
while on the Pacific Coast.
Mrs. James Is the most intimate
friend of the daughters of the British
King, their association dating back
to early childhood. Upon her mar
riage she became the mistress OF the
splendid James country place, West
Dean Park, near Goodwood. where
the King and Queen and the Prince
and Princess of Wales have frequently
been their guests.
