eviction is 50 much clear gain. Once
their goods are actually put upon the
street they at once repeat the opera
ton. Victimizing another landlord.
These repeutcrS in time become
known to the SQUIRT and they mus
try their schemes in some new neigh
borhood.
Another Commun trick is to submit
to being eviCtcd merely To save the
expense of moving. The men who
move household goods will charge
perhaps 50 less to movc a load q:
goods from a sidewalk than 20 carry
taem down the narrow stairs Of some
high tenement. There are some fan.-
lies who calmly figure on the econ
umy Of having the early stage OF Their
moving performed at the city eX-
pense.
The great majority Of the cases
which reach the eviction courts arr,
however, worthy of sympathy. To
listen To the tales of suffering through
out such n session is a moving eX-
perience. The Commonest eXCus Of
fered at present is the war and the
difficulty Of finding employment az
any kind owing 10 he war. The

their own way. In Justice Hartman's
court. for instance. the witnesses are
brought inside the rail and permitted
To talk directly to the curt. The
innovation was adopted in order to
make the witnesses feel that they may
talk freely and without formality.
The landlord or his representative
stands outside the rail perhaps ten feet
away. The witness Is encouraged to
tell his story with the feeling that he
is speaking to a friend.
That there are tricks IN all trades
is If course an axiom. but the suh-
t%erfuges of the rent heaters. as they
are called. seem TO belong To a chss
apart. The interests of the landlord no
less than those Of the worthy II unf"r-
tunate tenant must be carefully guard
ed. Their are some families who sys-
tematically swindle landlords, for in
stance, 10y paying rent for a month
to establish a slight credit, and then
refusing to pay until they are ac-
tually evicted. Any delay they may Sc
cure in putting off the inevitable

Of course a tribute to the furbearance
of the eviction courts and the eff
cheney of the several charitable organ
izations. The eviction court judy
ments are tempered with mercy.
On the days eviction cases are heard
the court room is filled early with a
singularly pathetic crowd. A very
large proportion of those answering
the court notices are women, prob
ably on the average more than 90
per cent. Scores of them fill the
benches waiting their turn. 1t is
noticeable that few of them wear hats
of any kind, and their condition is
usually appealing to the charitably
disposed. Few of them speak enough
English to plead their cases. The eye
Will traverSe row after row of these
pathetic faces without recognizing a
distinctly American type.

opportunity to tell their stories n

families. again. is simply appalling.
The stories Of illness offered in ex-
cuse are often pathetic IN the cX-
IRENE.
The official calls the name ~
the defendant IN a brisk. huslncssiike
manner. somewhere among the
crowded benches a bedraggled woman
rises and makes her way TO the bar.
The chances are ten to one she can
not speak English. and the interpre-
ter must direct her to the platform.
The Judge looks up from th" papers
and asks her kindly wHat is the din
Guilty.
The woman pours a story Of
misfortune. The courts time is val
liable and the Judge, from long en-
prr."ncc. quickly summarizes the situ-
alton. He interrupts her kindly but
firmly. and asks her when she can pay
the p%athctirally small moun in ar
roars. which may be hut 80 or SO. The
woman probably names "A day a week

near by and merely repeats the day.

court announces, and the woman, who
10y th.s time is probably n tears IS
led away. The case has consumed
scarcely a minute.
When a plea of illness in the family
IL offered the Judge usually makes "a
special appeal 20 the landlord. After
hearing the case and quickly sum
marizing the situation he will eN-
plain briefly:
There is a sick child in the family
which cannot he moved" he viii say,

The landlord Will probably extend
the time for a week. and almost in
variably Will add that II there is H.

In most cases a delay of even a

There Is often q touch Of humor

Both the landlord and his tenant
began TO talk together at top speed.
The Judge was obliged to pound for

ITO dispose of several hundred
eviction cases in a single day
requires very brisk, business
Ike methods. Scores of TRACE
dies Of domestic life must be explained
and passed upon in as many minutes.
In NJ court, again. do the cases make
. pathetic an appeal. The present
winter promises to break all records
for the number of eviction cases
reaching the courts and the suffering
they entail. II is estimated that the
total number Of notices of eviction in
New York for the year will approach
100 1000.
The number of actual evictions in
vh.c. the household goods are piled
on the plvements is, however, SUR
pr.s.ngly small. Last year more than
$4,000 notices We're served in New
York and less than 1000 families suf-

furniture removed. The disparity is
