THIS LANDLORD
SF0R EATS
Also Refuses to Raise Rents
Of His New York
Tenants.

New York. July 24.-New York
has discovered a new type of land
lord. He is a real. honest to good
ness landlord. He is human be-
ing. and il Nathan Hirsch. chairman
of the mayors committee on rent
profiteering, has any sayso this ex-
traordinary person will have his
picture hung in the Hall OF Fame.
He is A. Aaronson. He not only
from his tenants, some eighty-six
in all. but he took forty of them
out to dinner just to show them
that he was a good fellow and that
he desired the good will and friend
ship of the tenants rather than thei ir
hard earned dollars.
Aaronson controls a practically
new apartment house. 1t is a first
class building.
Cuts Rent Increase, Gives Dinner.
The tenants have been enjoying
moderate rents. some of them pay
ing $3.50 and some SO q room. Last
year, according to Mr.. Aaronson,
the house was operated at a loss.
so he decided that he would increase
the rents 81 a month. Forty of the
tenants in the house complained to
the mayors committee and Mr..
Aaronson was invited to appear.
The landlord learned from Chair
man Hirsch that the tenants had
complained of the increase.
"All right" Mr.. Aaronson de-
clared. IF they cannot pay the in
crease ! will agree that they remain
in my house at an average rental of
$3.50 to s10.50 per room"

Failed to Pass Stability

On craft which have menaced the lives
OF thousands Of summer vacationists.
These steamers, comprising the fleet
of the Washington and Southern Navi-
cation Company, have been popular
with those seeking coastwise recrea-
ton on weekend trips.
Fail to Pass Tests.
George Uhler. supervising inspec-
tor general of the Steamboat In
spection Service for the Depart
ment of Commerce, admitted last
night that both of the river car
tiers had failed to pass stability
tests" made on last Friday and
Sunday by his agents.
The Lord Baltimore" was with
drawn from service about two
weeks ago. ostensibly for overhaul
ing.
Both steamers have been in the
service on the Norfolk washington
route since May %. How they
were passed as seaworthy and ca
pable of carrying approximately 700
excursionists on regular trips is
something that the supervising in
spector general will investigate.
Since they have been in the serv-
ice both boats have encountered
SO many minor difficulties and time
delaying breakdowns as to occasion
much unfavorable comment.
When the Penn" was withdrawn
from the service an announcement
was issued by the company that
steps were being made to replace it
with a more modern and commodi-
Gus steamer.
Omcers Are Mum.
Officials of the Washington &
Southern Navigation Company were
reticent last night about the future
of the suspended steamers. 1t was
intimated no attempt would be
made to remodel or repair the boats
to conform to government regula-
tions. Instead, it was intimated the
boats removed from the river serv-
ice would be replaced.
Supervising Inspector Uhler de-
clared he was making an investiga-
tion of the service and that officials
reports detailing the result of the
inspections would be issued today.

the next food shipment, and fifty
carloads could be handled safely, If
the District is permitted to pur-
chase that much, according to state
