Report That City Is Retaken
Comes From Stockholm.

STOCKHOLM, October 1O.-The
newspaper Folkets Dagblad learns
that the bolshevists have retaken
the city of Kiev.
No intimation of the possibility Of
an impending recapture of the great
south Russian center has been re-
ceiyed from other sources, although
IL was recently stated that bolshevist
bands were roaming in this region in
the rear of the lines Of the Poles and
Cen. Denikine. These two armies are
well advanced beyond the vicinity
of Kiev, but are not yet in touch with
one another.

Unreasonable" Tenants.

"Any one with real estate expert
ence knows how unreasonable ~ten-
ants are and will become If they can
appeal to the rent commission for re-
pairs and services" the communica-
ton states. Surely these two items
should be divorced. as the rental
commission can fix the rental based
on the kind of repair and services
provided by the owner at the time
the question is before the rent COM
mission. II the owner at any time
falls to provide repairs and services
demanded by the tenant. there Is
nothing in the law to prevent the
tenant taking it back to the rent
commission.
Our point is, that the owner should
be the one to determine the repair and
services rendered, for the reason that
considerable property in this city is
owned by minors, lunatics and others
who may not have funds with which
to make repairs dictated by the rent
commission. Furthermore, all prop
critics excepting those used for housing
purposes should be eliminated from
bill. There should also be incorporat-
ed q requirement that the members OF
the rent commission must be residents
of the District of Columbia for at
least five or ten years, so that they
will be fully acquainted with the pre-
war conditions.

Owners wish Assurance.

"Owners of Washington real estate
wish some assurance that the rent
commission will not fix rental that
will be less than z per cent net on the
value of the property occupied. This
would give stabilization to real estate
values and induce investors to buy for
rental purposes and thereby let the
tenants remain in possession. Other
wise, owners will sell to home buyers
who win force tenants to vacate."
In connection with the amendment
Mr.. Fairfax stated today that as it is
written, it becomes a national issue,
as 1t is intended to serve as a model
for LEGISLATION affecting other munich
palities, and is far bigger than local
dispute between Washington land
lords and tenants. -

What amounts to a disavowal of
Gates alleged intimacy with the
American government comes from
various officials all of whom claim
ed they took whatever information
Gates had but never encouraged
him to act on their behalf. On one
occasion, for instance, he went to
the state department and claimed
he could get possession of a paper
showing all the rival factions in
agreement to overthrow CarranZa.
OfhciaIs at the department said
they would be interested in seeing
such a document. Gates is alleged
to have gone out to negotiate such
an agreement on the gound that he
had been encouraged to do so by
the American government This
is emphatically denied.
