D. G. AVIATOR
DIES IN ITALY
FROM INJURIES
Lieut.. Marcus A. Jordan
Fails to Survive Acct
dent to Aeroplane.

After surviving wounds received In
an aeroplane accident for two days,
Lieut.. Marcus A. Jordan, o Wash
ington boy. died wednesday morning
In Italy.
His brother, Eidridge Jordan. presi-
dent Of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany, of this city, was notified Of
the young aviator's death in the fol-
lowing telegram from Foggio. Italy:
''Your brother, Lieut.. Marcus Jor-
dan, died this morning, March q.
from wounds contracted In aero
plane accident. He lived two days,
wonderful nerve. Condi-
ton requires burial here. Great loss
to his country. I extend my deep
sympathy. Details will follow by let
ter. FROST. Commanding"
Lieut.. Jordan was q years Of age
and unmarried. Although born in
he had resided in Washing
ton for a number of years and was
well known in financial and social
circles here. He was a member of
the Metropolitan Club and Of the
Sons of the Revolution. His popu-
larity in society was increased by his
aptitude in riding, swimming and
dancing. Jordan was at one time
an employe Of the Dupont Circle
branch of the United States Trust
Company. Several years ago Lieut..
Jordan was presented by Congress
with a medal OF honor for an act
of life-saving. While on a steamer
in the shark-infested Caribbean, one
of the women passengers fell over
board. Young Jordan, fully clothed.
unhesitatingly leaped overheard and
rescued her.
Months before the entrance of the

Jordan entered the Canadian army
as a lieutenant in a machine gun
battery. Later he resigned from the
Canadian forces and received a COM
mission in the United States Marine
Corps and was ordered to service as
a flyer in Italy.

new MEASURE
FOR RENTS
NOW POSSIBLE
Substitute for Johnson Bill
Is Mooted in Senate
Subcommittee.

A substitute measure for the John
son rent profteering bill may be
drafted by the Senate subcommittee
dealing with the matter. Indications
Of this were given yesterday when
the members of the subcommittee I'm
ished their public hearings and de-
cided to thrash the question out fur
ther in executive session.
As the johnson bill passed by the
House stands 1t would never pass the
Senate. This 10 the opinion of the
membefs of the subcommittee after
hearing the arguments of interested
and noninterested person who testi-
ned before them There is a posi-
biIity that the Johnson bill itself will
be amended instead OF a new measure
drafted, but the latter seems more
probable.
Senators Pomerene and Hollis, who
have conducted the sessions of the
subcommittee, are both out Of town
now and will not return until next
week.
Charles W. Fairfax, president of the
Real Estate Brokers Association, and
other local real estate brokers and
owners who appeared before the sub
committee are optimistic as to the
outcome of this question, as they be-
lieve they have impressed the sub
committee with the great untold in
justice which they say would result
from the operation of certain features
Of the present bill.
Mr.. Fairfax particularly invited the
subcommittee members to investigate
the cases of profiteering which had
been brought to their attention. He
said that they would rarely find the
owner to blame.
In some cases, Mr.. Fairfax admit
ted. owners have raised rents to make
their tenants vacate, so that they
might sell He cited the Gen. Black
case as an instance OF this policy,
and said he did not approve Of 1t.
