GREAT RENT WAR
GROWS MORE ACUTE
Many New York Crusaders
Absolutely Refuse to
Pay Landlords.
STIRRING STREET SCENES.
AUTHORITIES IN NEW YORK BE.
LIEVE THAT TROUBLE is JUST
COMING AND THAT THERE WILL
BE RoUsING SCENES.

New York. Jan. 3--As a result OF
the war on the east side over ninety
dispossess notices were served by
landlords today on tenants who have
organized to secure reduction OF
their rent Most of these notices were
obtained in the Thirteenth district
court on Madison street, which was
crowded all day with representatives
OF landlords and tenants. Attaches OF
the court are looking for harder day
tomorrow, as they believe the trou-
bic but just beginning.
Today was the day for the rent col
lectors to come around. They found
hundreds of tenants who for the first
time absolutely refused TO pay the
rent demanded of them. In many cas-
es every tenant who refused to pay
seemed fully prepared for dispossess
notices. A case in point was furnished
at 144 Ludlow street. Fourteen fami-
lies live there, and not a family would
pay rent.
Serve Notice on Tenants
Some landlords were prepared for
this and hustled to the courts for no.
, tees to serve on tenants. Up to 3
o'clock eighty-four such notices had
been brought to strike headquarters at
313 Grand street. and more were com
ing in every minute. These eighty-four
notices had been obtained by thirty
four landlords of houses in which ten
ants had organized and resolved tn
stand together in asking for reduc-
ton in rent.
There were comparatively few evic-
lions. These will come in few days
if the landlords stand firm.
Most of the tenants have been ad-
vised to notify headquarters as soon
as they got notices, and lawyers are
/ ready to ask for an extension of time.
Most of the cases were put down for
Jan. 6. A few tenants did not know
enough to do this. and had their things
| put in the street.

PACKAGE RATES REDUCED
Railroads VIII Restore Former Tariff
on This Glass of
Freight,

CHICAGO, July lit was announced
here today that the railroads of the mid
die west have decided to restore the old
rates on package freight, putting into
force again the former minimum charges
for shipments of this character. The
movement means a saving OF thousands of
dollars annually to the shippers of this
section.
The old minimum of 25 cents was in
force from Chicago to the Mississippi river
and st. Paul. West of there as far as
central Kansas the charge was so cents
and from that, section to the coast the
minimum was 70 cents. The change made
a year ago, when these rates were abol-
ished and the first-class rates were sub
stituted, brought increases of from 80 to
800 per cent. The increase, for instance, to
Oklahoma points was from 10 cents to $3.50
and to common Colorado points it was $3.50.
The roads found, however, that the dis
parity in rates caused by the various min
imum charges established by the state
commissions give some cities advantages
over neighboring distributing centers.
Milwaukee could ship to all Wisconsin
points on a minimum of 25 cents, whereas
it cost Chicago considerably more. Sim
ilarly Omaha had a better opening to many
markets of the middle west than other
towns within comparatively the same dis
lance.
In addition, according to some Of the
transportation experts, the new rates drove
a considerable amount of business to the
express companies, who were not affected
by the decision to raise the charges. The
old rates are to be restored within a few
weeks.

Democratic Members of school Board
HelnE Lined Ip.

Being Lined I'D.
The annual meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation will be held this evening as pro-
vided by law. At this meeting the secre-
tary of the board Is elected for the ensu-
ing year. It was stated yesterday that the
democratic members Of the board intended
voting for J. ]. Hughes, chairman Of the
democratic city central committee and
member of the state democratic central
committee from the Ninth district, for sec
rotary as against Dillon L. Ross, the pres
ent incumbent of the position. As there
are four democrats to three republicans
on the board, they will be able, should they
comblne forces. to elect their man. Mr..
Ross has held the office for several years
and until Hughes name was mentioned
was supposed to be sure Of reelection.
Another matter to be attended to at the
annual meeting is that of fixing the
amount of money necessary to be obtained
by tax levy for the support of the schools
during the ensuing year. Last year $4,000
was levied for the teachers fund and $35,
900 for the contingent fund with 5000 for
free text books and 81, 100 for transporta-
ton Of pupils. This year it is believed
about 5000 will be needed for free text
books, as the supply is becoming worn out
from constant usage.
George s. Davis, treasurer of the school
district, is expected to present his annual
report tonight.
