Deters Property Leasing.

Mr.. Bradley insisted that the enact
ment of the johnson bill into law
would make it Impossible for trust
companies to lease properties placed
in their hands for administration, be-
cause they could not afford to jeop-
ardize the property because OF the
acts Of tenants.
Charles W. Fairfax. president Of the
Real Estate Brokers' Association, also
criticised that part of the bill which
makes a lien lie against the real es-
tate because OF any act OF prohteertng
on the part Of tenants. He said that
IL that provision became a law 1t would
result in holding UP sales of property
and the lending OF money on property,
tions had been held up because of the
fear that such a law might be enacted.
It might also interfere with giving
clear title to the property. he said,
where the property was under lease
when sold.
He strongly urged the committee to
let the public know that 1t would not
countenance such a provision In the
proposed law.
Mr.. Fairfax asked the committee
to investigate personally stories of
profteering which come to their ears,
SO as to have all the facts before them.
He said that the threat to raise rent
had been made by agents and land
lords in order to get the tenants to
move out, so that they might sell the
property He said this was found to
be true of the case of Mrs. Black, wife
of Gen. Black, who was asked to pay
double the rent she had been paying
The owner wished possession of the
property to sell 1T, said Mr.. Fairfax.
He admitted this was wrong way to
go about obtaining possession.

Cleaner bituminous coal is expected
to result from a decision by Fuel Ad-

use special means to clean their output
of slate and carbon. The increase over
government prices will vary according
to the expense each operator Is under.
The concession also has for an object
the stimulation Of production.

RENT BILL HEARINGS
END IN COMMIT TEE
Johnson Measure to Be Taken
Up in Executive Session
Next Week.
AMENDMENT IS PREDICTED

Hearings before the Senate District
subcommittee on the johnson bill to
prevent pronteering In rents in the
District of Columbia have been con-
cluded and the subcommittee expects
early next week to get down to the
consideration Of the measure in execu-
tive secession.
While members of the subcommittee
feel that there should be some legisla-
ton to prevent profiteering in rents in
the National Capital during the war.
they feel that in many Of its features
the johnson bill is not practicable or
equitable. ...-.sr
Expect Amendments.
Therefore. It is expected that the bill
WIN be amended in many important
particulars. The subcommittee may
draft an entirely new substitute meas
ure.

subcommittee, is in Wisconsin and Is

The hearings were completed yester-
day afternoon.
Thomas Bradley. vice president Of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company,
called the attention of the committee as
to the situation regarding the renting OF
houses which are used for rooming pur-
poses. He said his company has large
number Of such properties. He said 1t is
impossible to keep watch over the rent
ais charged for rooms by the tenants.
oH hat in
tenants in renting to transients get as
much as they can for the rooms
The johnson bill. he said. would Pc
nalize the owners of the property or Of
the land for the excess charges made
by the tenants, and this, he declared,
would work grave injustice to the own
ers. amounting practically to confisca-
ton.

PUT ON
DAMAGE SUITS
Director McAdoo Orders
They Be Tried Where
Injury Occurred.

Hereafter personal injury damage
suits against railroads will have 10 be
tried where the accidents occurred.
Director general ". G. McAdoo
made this statement Wednesday night
to United States Judge W. r. Smith,
at the dinner at James G. AfcNary's
residence.
Il have issued an order against. fl
ing damage suits anywhere along the
line Of the railroad on which jhe &C
cldent occurred said Mr. McAdoo.
one Of the principal reasons for the
order is that all the railroad en-
ployes are needed and it takes them
away from their work too long to 60
10 a distant city TO give testimony"
The order VIII mean q saving to FL
EasO county OF many thousands Of
dollars year, it is stated. Hereto
fore because the laws Of Texas were
considered more favorable TO those
suing for personal Injuries, suits have
been brought here from Arizona, Cal
lIcrnla and elsewhere, and the cost Of
such suits have borne heavily upon Fl
PasO county and have largely kept the
civil court dockets clogged-
Under the new order, If q man is
injured at Lordsburg. he must file
MS suit at Lordsburg or in the near
est court having Jurisdiction, which
would be Silver City. In the past. the
suit would likely have been brought
to Fl PasO for filing.
