Indignation Meeting Held on
Roof of Apartment Decides
to Employ Attorney to 0p-
pose Rent Increases.
APARTMENT RENTERS
INTERESTED IN PLAN
Victims of High Rates at
AngeIus Will Not Give
Evidence at Probe Being
Conducted by City Council.

Incensed over threatened profit
eering demand by their landlord
tenants of the Angelus apartments,
Twenty-fifth avenue and Farnum
street, last night held an indigna-
ton meeting on the roof of the flat
building and formulated definite
plans to resist extcrtionate rates of
rent.
The meeting was called by Beech
cr Highly, P. G. Schneider and H. E.
Morrison and attended by occupants
OF nearly all of the 81 apartments
in the house.
The sentiment of the gathering
was unanimous to refuse to pay an
increase in rent from SIS to $40 a
month. The plan also includes a
proposition to refuse to accede to
the demand of the agent for the
property in the event he orders the
tenants to vacate.
This action will not be taken,
however, it was declared until an
attorney lad been consulted.
Others Are Interested.
TIE stand being taken by the ten
ants at the Angelus will be watched
with much interest by thousands of
apartment renters in Omaha, who
are making plans to form a general
organization to defeat the rent prof
iteers. With the proper organiza
ton these people are confident they
can win in their fight. Many apart
ment agents already have given no
tice that their rents will be increased
even more than that announced at
the Angelus.
"If the matter ever gets into the
courts and these profiteering agents
are forced to show their books, |
pity then," declared prominent
attorney last night who at one time
was counsel for a big real estate
firm.
They will not have a leg left to
stand oh. Just tell these people for
me if they want to win hands down
go to the courts. The real estate
agents cannot only not justify their
outrageous charges, but they will not
have the nerve to try it-there's a
reason. 1t is bad enough to be
called profiteer by your neighbor,
but it is blamed sight worse to be
proven one and that is exactly what
will happen
Oppose City Help.
A suggestion was offered at the
meeting to turn the matter over to
the city attorney. 1t met almost
with unanimous opposition. Atten-
ton was called to Mayor Smiths
failure in his investigation of the
high cost of foodstuffs. Others ex-
pressed their doubt because of the
mayors weak effort SO far in his
probe of high rent.
An attorney will be employed
Monday, it was declared, to look up
the matter and ascertain just what
can be done to thwart the imposi-
ton threatened by the landlord and
agent.
The property is owned by Mrs.
Anna Donahue She declared she
lust had returned after an absence
of six weeks and knew nothing about
the complaints of her tenants. T. A.

Regarding Negotiations With

Washington, Aug. Z5.-Atter vot-
ing to amend the peace treaty by
striking out Japan's title to the Ger,
man rights in Shantung, the senate
foreign relations committee notified
President Wilson today that it could
not intelligently proceed with its
work on amendments until he fur
nished additional information.
The action on the Shantung pro-
vision was taken in short order
Chairman Lodge proposing the
amendment and the committee
adopting it virtually without debate
The vote was 9 to 8, with all the
democratic members and Senator
McCumber, republican, North Da'
kota, voting in the negative.
Then the point of inadequate in,
formation was raised by republican
members, Chairman Lodge declar-
ing there were in the presidents
hands important documents which
were absolutely essential to the de-
termination of questions involved ir
the committees wo; During its
entire considerations i the treaty
the chairman said, the committee
had been hampered by lack Of infor-
nation that should have been giver
it weeks ago.
Democrats Opposed.
Democratic members are under
stood to have expressed general op-
position to any interruption of the
committees plan for prompt action
but finally on motion of Senator
Williams, democrat, Mississippi, and
Without a record vote, the chairman
was instructed to ask the president
for the treaty with Poland signed
on June %. two agreements regard
ing the Rhine section to which the
United States was a party and such
information as may be available
about the treaties now under negotl,
alton with Austria, Hungary. Bull
garia and Turkey.
In amending the Shantung provls'
ion the committee took the mos. dl'
rect method. Chairman Lodge
simply moved to strike out the word
Japan" wherever It occurred in
the section relating to the German
Shantung rights and to insert in,
stead the word China"
The effect would be to restore tc
China all the German holdings If

fight over the Shantung settlemen,
