When Justice Gould, of the Dis

Salisbury act unconstitutional. he au-
tomaticslfy gave hundreds Of ten
ants in Washington thor notice to
move. according TO real estate dealers
who discussed the decision last night.
The Salisbury act. which prevent
ed the ousting OF tenants during the
pendency Of the war, has been the
legal barrier that checked wholesale
evictions when the rental prices be-

violates Owners Rights.
The court declared that the joint
resolution of Congress violates the
right of the landowner to contract
with reference to his property as he
sees Mt. The court also pointed out
that the object OF the resolution is
not sufficiently connected with the
conduct of the war as to bring it
under the war power Of Congress.
Now that the decision has been
given. the real estate men expect that
The. tenants in domiciles affected by
the courts decree will move and that
there VIII be g consequent boom IN
building and an advance in rental
prices due to the increased demand
from those seeking new homes.
Not all of the tenants take that
view, however. The proprietor of
two rooming houses filled with war

GERMAN TROOPS

Panic Prevails in City When
Government Troops Draw
Net on Reds


PARIS, April 20 (Havas) The
encirclement of Munich by German
government troops has been complet-
ed, according to German adVices. This
result was accomplished, it is stated,
by the occupation of Landshut, about
thirty-five miles northeast of Munich,
which city has been closely approach
ed on all sides.
Panic prevailed in Munich Monday
when the government troops began
their march on the BaVarian capital
and three members of the communist
government resigned, a Berlin dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company says. Before nightfall Mon
day government troops had captured
several villages.
A delegation from the Communist
government went to Ingolstadt on
Sunday to discuss the situation with
the Berlin government military lead
ers.
The Communist leaders in Munich
are said to be ready to escape quickly
in airplanes.
Renewed agitation in virtually all
parts of Germany is reported in Ger
man advices. The railway employees
in the Berlin district threaten a gem
eral strike May Z, il the claims are not
satisfied, while In the Ruhr industrial
districts the Spartacans also are en-
deavoring to organize a general strike.
Outbreaks already have resulted in
casualties, the advices show.
Electric railway employees in Silesia
generally are reported on strike.
Meanwhile the government forces
are dealing with troubles in Nurem-
berg, where the Spartacan leader, AL
bert Schmidt, was killed by govern
ment troops and a state of seige pro-
claimed. The Spartacans there took
one of the majority socialist leaders
prisoner.

numerous pedestrians were trying. to
stop the horse.
When the runaway horse reached
High street, he turned sharply, throw
ing Murray off. Several men then
grabbed the animal and he was stop

corner.
Rosen, who was on the horses back
when the animal first bolted, was
