SAYS HER RENT WAS
UNJUST[Y RAISED
From $51.33 to $100 on Thir-
ty-Day Notice, Complain
ant Tells Court.

The question of rent raising in the
District came up in Municipal Court
today in the case of Mrs. Lucy kop-
fer. who was summoned to show cause
why she should not be compelled to
move from 1907 1st street. The case
was continued until next Tuesday at
1890 O'Clock.
According to Gus A. Schuldt. attorney
for Mrs. Klopfer. she received thirty
day notice to vacate about the middle
of December. About then. according
to the attorney, the tenant was in
formed that if she desired to remain
she would have to pay 500 month
instead of s51.s3, the former rent.
Owner Gives Her Version.
Clifford A Borden, agent for the
property, said that the owner. Miss
Charlotte E. Bates. wanted to get pos
session of her property.
Unfortunately he continued, "she
allowed the matter to be put that way.
that If the tenant desired to remain
she could do so by paying $100 month.
She did not want her to remain, and
this action is simply to get possession
of the property.
Attorney Schuldt was not in Judge
StraSburger'S court when the case was
called this morning and the judgment
for possession was granted. When Mr..
Schuidt appeared few moments later,
however. he told the court that he had
been detained in the clerks office. His
request that the Judgment be set aside
was granted. 4.
