number of these products have been
placed on the market. The advertising

in the newspapers, has been gradually
improving. The management of the pa

Trying Days" in Petrograd.

Mr.. Meyer was at St Petersburg dur
ing the trying days of the Portsmouth
peace conference. 1t is recounted that
when the peace ENJOYS reached the
umbling block of Japan's demands for
territorial indemnity President Roose-
Welt directed Amba ssador Meyer to see
the Russian emperor in person and in
sist upon an agreement. Mr.. Meyer,
however, found diplomatic suggestions
for such an arrangement ineffective at
the Russian foreign Office, whereupon
he res1rted to his favorite direct meth
DDS AID informed the foreign minister
that unless an audience were arranged
before a stated hour he would take his
own means of reaching the emperor
presence. The audience was promptly
granted and Mr.. Meyer persuaded the
emperor that the cession of Saghalien
Island to Japan would not conflict with
Russia's determination not to yield an
inch of territory, as the island in the
remote past had belonged to Japan.
AS Postmaster General Mr. Meyer in
troduced more up-to-date business
methods in his department. He was
one of the earliest advocates of the
postal savings system.
The Navy Department gave Mr.. Meyer
a wide field for the use of his business
instincts He effected a reorganization
which did away with much duplication
of work and devoted considerable time
to increasing efficiency at the navy
Yards. In 1871 he visited Europe and
building plants of several countries.
Resumes Business Connections,
After his retirement from public of
fee in 1913 Mr.. Meyer resumed many
of his earlier business connections His
home was at Hamilton, Mass, where
his figure on horseback was a familiar
one Having played polo in his
hn ,rs1,
Throughout his life, he was devoted to
ut-of-door sports. At Harvard, from
which he was graduated in 1879. he
rowed on his class crew and won med
ais for running. He was vigorous
tennis player and n lover of fishing,
for many years making annual trips to
the Restigouche for salmon.
Mr.. Meyer married Alice Appleton of
Ienox. Mass. in 1855. They had one son
and two daughters, Capt. George Won l..

Fear Chaotic Condition.

Your committee stated in its first re-
port that it did not believe that the
Johnson bill was either fair or prac-
teal. and the further your committee
studied this bill the more convinced it
was that its judgment in this respect
was correct If the Johnson bill. or a
bill embodying the principles of the
johnson bill. should he made a law. the
whole housing question would at once
be thrown into such an uncertain and
chaotic condition that the already ag-
graVated problem of housing facili-
ties would become intoIerabIe and the
war work of the government seriously
retarded. This prediction is not made
by way of threat, but as warning to
those who do not realize the serious eff
fects of such radical and impossible
legislation, to consider carefully before
acting.
Legislation to regulate rents is nee
essary, and your committee not only
recommends sane legislation, but urges
the passage of a proper law at as
early a date as possible. in order that
the conditions may become fixed and
be understood and rentals adjusted be-
fore the fall renting season arrives

Action on Request.

rThe bill as introduced would give
the rent administrator authority to fix
all rentals in the District if he saw fit
TO go so far. Your committee does not
believe that il is wise or necessary
for the rent administrator to consider
any cases except upon request of some
person in interest. If the parties to
the transaction are satisfied WHY shouId
others be concerned about the natter
Your committee, therefore. recommends
that the words or otherwise as the
rent administrator may determine in
lines twenty-four and TWENTY-FIVE maze
three. and lines two and three maze
six, be stricken from the bill.
The bill provides that all orders of
the rent administrator shall relate
back to and take effect as of the date
of the approval of the act by the Presf-
dent This provision. in the opinion of
your committee, does not meet the
situation and would, in the cases of
leases made after the approval of the
act by the President, be ambiguous
Your committee therefore recommends
that the bill be amended by striking
out on page 4, line Z, the words the
approval of this act by the President
and inserting in lieu thereof the words

Embodied in Second Bill.

Grooming now TO the consideration
Of the two bills introduced by Mr..
Tinkham, your committee passes over
tie first bill for the reason that all
id provisions are embodied in the
SECOND bill. Your committee in its
MIST report recommended that any
legislation on this subject should be
applied to the whole country. and not
I'd the District of Columbia alone. The
second Tinkham bill applies only to the
District of Columbia, but. inasmuch as
1T seems doubtful if the Congress can
lSgislate for the whole country upon
I His subject, your committee makes
no criticism of the bill on that ac-
count. Your committee stated that the
legislation should be in the nature of
al criminal statute. and not taxation
legislation, and the bill corresponds
with the Tecomme ndations of your
Committee in this respect.
gThe proposed law is fair in that all
CT sses of property are included, and
IN practice should do justice TO ALL
This bill is not retroactive and pro-
vides for a rent administrator, to be
