The Crowleys. who reported their
loss to the police today, had been alb
sent FROM the city one week. Monday
evening, friends whom they had asked
to keep an eye on the nat from across
the street, noticed lights which burned
steadily in the Crowleys' suite all
night. Investigating the next day
they found the place had been ran
sacked.
Detective Livingston, OF No. .. Is
inclined to believe that the theft was
the work OF an inexperienced crook,
because he left the mos valuable sill
verware. Entrance was effected by
the fire-escape and rear door route,
the suite being on the second floor.
Miss Maud A du Bant, who has an
apartment at 1416 r street northwest,

REAL ESTATE MEN
WANT HEARING ON
RENT PROFHEER|NG

President Charles W. Fairfax. of
the Real Estate Brokers' Association,
and the special committee which Is
| opposing the Johnson anti-profiteer-
ing bill have written a letter to the
Senate District Committee asking for
| a hearing.
The johnson bill has been referred
| to the District Committee, and that
committee will handle the problem
of profiteering In rentals.
While no date for a hearing has
| been set. II is expected that the Real
Estate Brokers' Association will be
given q chance to express its views.
The bill may be handled by the
main committee or referred to a
subcommittee. That Is something
for the committee to decide. Its next
regular meeting date is Friday.
Senate situation Complicated
The situation In the Senate is to
some extent complicated by the fact
a subcommittee OF the Senate Judi
ciary Committee has been considering
the Poindexter bill. which applies
throughout the country. The sub
committee Is headed by Senator Hoks
Smith. However, this subcommittee,
which has not been able to agree, will
give way to the District Committee,
and let 1t wrestle with the problem.
It is supposed that this will not
meet serious objection from the Ju-
dietary committee. However, Senator
Poindexter is by no means willing to
abandon the idea of legislation which
would apply the country over because
there has been profiteering in some
parts OF his own State in consequence
of the war activities there.
The controversy over the Johnson
bill and all similar proposed legisla-
ton in the Senate Is likely to become
involved with the general question
Of price-fixing legislation. In that
event, II Is possible nothing will be
done. To have. 1t become so involved
would exactly suit the wishes OF Its
opponents.
The situation at the Capitol today
Is such that a great underground cam
paign Is being waged by special in
terests and their Legislative friends to
block any further price-fixing legisla-
ton OF any kind. Under these cir
cumstances, the effort to limit reT tails
here is likely to be fought as some
thing involving the question or gen.
eral price-fixing policy.
Officials OF the Real Estate Brokers
Association, who tried in vain TO
block the johnson bill in the House
District Committee, will lose no time
In trying to secure hearings before
the Senate committee and in the ef-
fort to halt the measure. before II
gets out of the committee.
