Attorneys Office

4 tenant has rights a landlord Is
bound to respect, is the opinion of the
trainers and hackers of the anti-rent
raising bill which Congressman Darrow
will introduce.
Landlords are forbidden to raise rents
without a good reason officially backed
by the courts according to the terms
of the measure, and money paid in ex-
cess of normal rent may be deducted
by tenants on future rent days
The plan for Federal legislation was
revealed when United States District At
torney Kane, Congressman Darrow. of
the Sixth District, Assistant United
States District Attorney Rosenbaum
and David Armstrong, assistant counsel
to Admiral Bowles, conferred this af-
ternoon in the District Attorneys office
on housing conditions in West Philadel-
phia.
An act drafted by Mr. Rosenbaum de-
during the war was formally Endorsed
and turned over to Congressman OAR
row for legislative action.
The act applies to every municipality
having a population of 10000 or more,
according to the census of l910 and
such other areas as may be designated
by the President: and to all dwellings

not more than $50. For the purposes of

TWO DIE FROM HEAT:
MERCURY REACHES 81
Weatherman Says Conditions
Will Continue All of Today
and Probably Tomorrow
The heat wave claimed two more
victims today. Peter Gallagher,
twenty.six. 676S Hagerman street,
died at the Episcopal Hospital.
Mary King, sixty. Fifty-fifth and
Spruce streets, died at her home.

The temperature scared again today
and there was more suffering from the
heat throughout the city, but the mer-
curry did not climb so high as II did
yesterday.
At noon the thermometer recorded
81 degrees, according to the Weather
Bureau. At o'clock 1t stood at 80.
These figures were six or seven de-
grees below those of yesterday and the
bureau said this situation would con-
tinue throughout the day.
Little hope was seen for showers. and
the best tha. could be said for tomorrow
was that the temperature would be
about like todays.
Three deaths occurred yesterday, when
the temperature, reaching 90 degrees,
shattered all records for the year
Martin Butler. sixty-seven years old.
29S7 Richmond. street. and Paul Wagner.
1924 Fairhill street, were two victims.
Butler, a watchman for the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway at pier D,
Port Richmond, fell dead just as he
was about to leave for home.
Wagner was stricken while assisting
a friend in Crescentville to hive a
swarm of bees.
The third victim was an unidentified
man, of medium build and light COM
ant near Thirteenth and Market streets.
He was about sixty years old and wore a
gold scarf pin with the initials. D. r. G.

SUNDAY PLEDGES
FILL WAR CHEST
Officials Believe $2O,OOO..
600, Goal Reached With
Schools Aid
METHODS OF PAYMENT

Thousands Of pledges received Sunday
Will Ali the War Chest today when COM
btned with final reports from the public
schools, War Chest officials believe.
The drive. ended officially Saturday.
although the mercy fund was still some
I,ooo,ooo short of the o,oo0. quota.
Announcement Of the method by
which War Chest pledges are to be re-
deemed during the coming twelve months
was made today.
Within month every one who pledged
monthly contribution to the War Chest
VII receive a coupon book containing
coupons for each month. starting with
July !. On the first of each month the
subscriber will take the coupon book to
any bank or trust company in Philadel-
phia
The bank will credit the payment to
the War Chest through Drexel & Co,
the treasurer, and hold the money until
the treasurer draws It for one of the
bereficiares. ..
The War Welfare Council issues a
particular plea that the subscribers take
the monthly payments to the bank in
stead OF sending II to Drexel & Co. II
the money is sent through the mails, II
VIII be necessary for Drexel & Co. TO
iend receipt for each payment II
every one of the subscribers mailed his
monthly contribution, the cost to the
war Chest would be about $4,000 each
month. Furthermore, the labor of forty
clerks and accountants would be re-
quired each month 1t is therefore urged
by the war welfare council that the
subscribers take their monthly contri.
button to any bank or trust company
and make the payment with the coupon
book. This applies only to Philadelphia.
The counties will collect their own.
Those who have subscribed through
their places of employment will make
payments on the first of each month to
the person designated by the employer
or elected by the employees to receive
and collect War Chest money. The orig
inal subscription cards will be kept by
the person SO designated, who will record
on the cards all payments made. A
coupon book to be used in remitting
payments on account of the total SUBJ
scriptions will be forwarded to the per-
son authorized to make collections.

City Hall to Be Contin-
ued at Present

including all subway work except that
under city Hall, will be annulled
This was decided upon this afternoon
az a conference between Mayor Smith
city Solicitor Connolly and Chairman
CARNEY, OF Councils Finance Commit.
tee
The decision to cancel these contracts
ana opposition of Mayor Smith to salary
increase totaling s556,o00 were two of
the important developments of today in
connection with the city financial plans
Abandonment Of the subway contracts
al this time Is due to the war When
orders were issued from Washington
several weeks ago that all municipal i'm
pfoVements be abandoned. except those
which were vitally necessary. II was b.
llered that the Arch and Locust streets
subway operations, which complete the
transit loop. could be finished Recently
IT was realized that these contracts
would require no end of materials and
the action today followed.
The contracts for the Arch and Locust
streets subways aggregate $4,000. 600.
while those for the north and south
Broad subways were s6,700.0OO.
Defer Sewer Work
Contracts for sewers and sewage dis
posal plants will be among other things
abandoned
The Finance Commit ce approved a bill
authorizing the Mayor and City Solicitor
TO reach an agreement by which the
contractors could be. paid for the worl:
done up to the present
The Mayor opposed all salary increases
