Cleveland MOfett
To Run Crusade on
Rent ProGteers
Refuses TO Pay Increase
Asked by Landlord, and
Says He Will Prove Tac-
ties Breed Race Riots

Cleveland Moffett, following hear
ing yesterday before the Mayors Com
mittee, declined to meet the rent in
crease demanded of him by the Welles-
bourne Realty Company, owner of n
house at 1853 East Fifty-sixth Street,
and said he would move. At tho same
time. Moffett declared war on rent
profitecrs and announced that he would
naugurate a campaign Of publicity to
show their tactics result in immortality
and are breeding race riots.
c. W. Cushier, agent for the realty
company, had originally asked $4,000 a
year for the house, an advance of 81 100.
He was willing when the case opened
at the hearing to compromise on $4,000,
but this was refused by Mr. Moffett.
Near the end of the hearing Mr..
Cushier said that he would accept
$4,000, but Mr.. Moffctt again refused.
When Mr.. Moffctt told Walter S.
Kennedy, who heard the case, that he
would move out, he was told to pay
monthly at the original rate of 81 500
year until he got out on October /.
Mr.. Cushicr demurred. saying that he
was entitled to monthly rent Mt the
rate of $4,000 a year. as Mr.. Moffctt' s
lease had expired in August.
Mr.. Kennedy asked MIR. Cushier what
relation Mrs. Herbert A. Parsons, of
LAT East Fifty-third Street, had to the
| Wellesbourne Realty Company, and
was told that she was stockholder
He was asked whether she was the
owner, and replied that he did not
know. Mr.. Kennedy then announced
! that he would call Mrs. Parsons to
find out whether she was the owner
adjourned the case to next Tuesday
and advised Mr.. Mon'ctt to pay his rent
on the basis Of $500 year.
Mr.. Mofictt said he intended to make
an investigation of rent profteering in
all parts OF the city, and that he will
prove that it leads to immortality be
cause Of crowded conditions, and that
race riots may be the result from the
avarice of landlords, who are charg; ing
negroes from 25 to so per cent more
rent than whites He said that he
would incorporate the result of his
inve stigations in a magazine article.
The case Of the tenants Of 1854 Beck
Street, the Bronx, against the owners
OF that house, J. Rigerman and jacob
Cohen, resulted in Harold F)cisher

the tenants not to pay their rents unit
the landlords came before the commit
tee again.
In the Second District Municipa
Court in the Bronx more than l5(
landlord and tenant cases were on the
calendar before Judge Michael J. Scan
Ian. The courtroom was packed, ans
the streets and corridors so crowded
that reserves from the Morrisanis
police station were summoned.
One case involved eighty families il
a block of houses from 1106 to 114(
College Avenue. Increases in a yea,
have amounted to $3.50, the tenants
said, adding that they were willing tc
pay the latest increase demanded ii the
landlord would assure them that there
would be no further raise in rents
This case is in the hands Of the Mayors
Committee, and was adjourned to next

resigned in all OF 1915 and l9i6 to-

While this showing of patrolmcn who

men are equally impressive, from the

Applicants for positions on the police
force are obliged to pass severe phys

have beer two examinations, while IN
others none. The percentage OF sue

candidates fail TO pass the physical
