LEESVILLE LOSES BUT
ENJOYS GOOD TIME

The Leesville base ball club Jour
neyed to DeQuincy last Sunday via.
automobiles where they met their first
defeat of the season in an extra good
game of ball.
Burleson, first up for LeesvilIe, sim
gled, stole second and scored when
Rumby singled to right.
Kennedy for DeQuincy flew out to
center, Landry walked, Carson went
to first on an error, Smith struck out.
Morgan hit to right for two bases scor-
ing Landry and Carson.
In the Second, Cavanaugh walked.

DeQuincy came over the pan with
one in their half of the second when
Knight was walked, went to second on
wild pitch, stole third and scored

In the fourth Brinkley struck out,
Anderson grounded out second to first,
Cavanaugh reached first on an error,
Morris was hit for the second time, a
a double steal was worked. Cavan-
augh scored on a wild pitch. Hoopers
slow infield hit scored Morris.
Brady, the speed artist of the Gulf
Coast Team was relieved by Landry
who took up the pitchers burden and
from then on Leesville could only see
the ball as the catcher returned it to
the pitcher. His curves were breaking
just right and the ball put on an ap-
pearance of a scenic railway car dip
ping and darting past the home bat
ters.
Allen for Leesville then succeeded
Franklin.
In the fifth DeQuincy scored two
when Carson; Laudry, and Smith each
singled.

stole second, Holbrook hitting for Nor
gan flew out left. Holmes hitting for
Knight grounded out third to first.
Ramer hitting for AbdaIIa singled to
center scoring Brady.
DeQuincy used IS men during the
performance and won a hard fought
battle.
An extremely large crowd estimated
at about 800 persons witnessed Lees
vile go down in defeat for the first
time in two years, and they were 800
strong with the usual cheers for the
home crew and the usual jeers for the
visitors.
The DeQuincy people are batting
1000 in the estimation of the LeesviIIe
boys when it comes to entertaining and
good treatment: During the stay there
was not an argument by either side
and the game moved off smooth, and
in big league style.
Arrangements are being made for a
double-header on the Fourth of Tulv
with either DeQuincy or Shreveport.

or architectural projections to shut off

Interesting Courtroom Arrangements
zone of the features of the original
scheme about which architects and ex-
perts, both here and abroad, were most
enthusiastic was the grouping of the
courtrooms in units of two, each unit
being complete in itself and entirely
independent of the rest of the building,
though closely connected with it, thus
being as independent of and shut off
from the other courts, Offices and pub
llc passageways as though each unit
were housed in separate wing; each
courtroom has its own lawyers and
witnesses consultation rooms, it's
jury room and Justices robing room.
, with it's toilet.
From the vestibule, which serves
each unit, private passage runs paral-
lei to the courtroom and leads to the
vestibule serving the Justices robing
rooms and jury rooms. This enables
the justice to reach his room without
passing through the courtroom. By
means of this private corridor he can
pass entirely around the building if he
wishes to visit another courtroom or
justice. He can also use this passage
in going to and from his chambers,
which are on the upper floor and which
are reached by means of the Justices
private elecator. The jury rooms, one
of which is provided for each court
room, are also served by this corridor.
"One OF the greatest advantages of
the plan is the quiet it insures each
courtroom. The public going to the
courtrooms cross by the radially placed
passages from the central elevator cir
Gle to the courtroom vestibues which
serve each unit of the two courtrooms.

business with the particular courtroom

Nsh nave been reat Investment Instead Speculative Real Estate
Market Had Not Been for of the tnscrnuous Io1

1t Is the opinion Of Judge John R.
Davies of the Municipal Court that the
landlord who has advanced his rents
just because the price Of other things
has increased has done the real estate
market an unreasonable amount of
harm. He told the members Of the
Building Managers and Owners Asso-
citation the other evening at the Adver-
tising Club that "If it were not for
these owners, instead of a speculative
we would have an investors market. u
Investors have been driven off, he said,
through fear Of the cry which has been
aimed at landlords generally because
of the vicious activities of a group of
unscrupulous men.
Judge Davies said that this type of
owner had brought odium on real es-
tate and called upon the building man
ayers and real estate interests to rid
their business Of the landlord who has
no claim to higher rent but boosted
them just because he can get more. He
said that the Bar Association rids the
legal field of the unprincipled brother
and that the real estate men of repute
should protect their honorable business
or profession from the profiteer be-
cause he Is putting legitimate business
in very bad light.
The dignified verbal scorchinp ad-
ministered both by Judge Davies and
magistrate Morris Koenig was cheered
by the building managers and building
owners who had come to hear the iu-
rists discuss the laws which pertain to
landlord and tenants.
Propagates Bolshevism
The profiteering landlord does not
mold the respect Of these judges. They
regard him as not of the best type Of
citizen because he spreads discomfort
ana indirectly propagates Bolshevism
lie destroys business, Is selfish and is
somewhat of conspirator.
Judge Davies has been on the munici-
pal court bench for twelve years and
most of the time in the judicial district
north of 10th Street.
Dark Lantern and Jimmy Methods
He said that he has had as manv as
1900 dispossess cases before him in
one year, and not more than a dozen
OF these resulted in tenants being
forced out on the street in the days
when profteering landlords were not
in the saddle. He spoke Of the stand
taken by some Of these owners as "the
argument Of the man with a dark Ian
tern and jimmy"
When asked in court the reason for
a radical increase in rent their answer
was II can get more" or ut

up to date $15,31O,OOO.
The locating of Collect Pond and
the time consumed in purchasing the
additional land permitted further dis
cussion of the circular courthouse plan
The objections of the justices were re-
vived. The Courthouse Board displayed
marked signs of being jealous of the
activities of the Municipal Art Com
mission and the city authorities in the
matter of providing new courthouse
for the city. The whole affair bordered
on public scandal, which had much to
do with changing the legislation, which
divided authority in the undertaking
and placed the entire project in the
hands of the Board of Estimate. This
was done last May, when Governor
Smith signed the amended measure.
Comptroller Craig then suggested the
appointment of a Courthouse Commit

The sixteen -year-oid plan for giving
New York City a courthouse was once
more brought up. Mr. Lowell, who had
earned 100000 when the jury of award
accepted his circular courthouse plan,
was asked to revise it. The financial
conditions of the city were explained
and the objections of the justices made
known to guide him in planning the
new STRUCTURE. Lewis E. Pitcher, State
Architect, was employed in an advisory
capacity, and together the architects
evolved the six-sided courthouse, of
which Comptroller Craig in his report
to the Board of Estimate yesterday
said:
"The new building planned is so To-
Gated on the land acquired that approx
imately rs per cent Of such land can
be salvaged and made available for
other purposes.
"The reduction in the cost of the
building and the salvaging of three
fourths of the real estate acquired have
been accomplished without sacrificing
or stlntlng in any respect the space re-
luired for judicial and clerical
purposes.
The courtrooms are in fact a trifie
larger than those provided in the plan
for the circular building.

Dank to expand upward through the

Makeshift Additions Not Economical
Makeshift additions at best limit the
advantage of the extra space because
OF structural details which divide. or
rather isolate, the additions from the
main banking room. The alterations
to be made will consolidate the prem
lses Of the bank, besides modernizing
the structure.
The entrance to the building is to
be moved around on Fifth Avenue and
the entrance to the bank, now in the
center of the Fifth Avenue frontage. is
to be placed at the corner of the
structure.
The Greek Doric columns which have

fusion caused by noisy crowds passing
by the entrance door on their way to

though each courtroom faces on the

windows need never be opened, as natu-
raj ventilation is provided entirely
from the windows on the inner court

mates the noise from the street and
also the dust.

Favor Standard
Commission for
Renting and Selling g

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. l3.--
The standardizations Of commissions
for renting and selling and the adop'
tion Of standardized blank forms were
favored at the third annual conven-
ton Of the New Jersey Real Estate
League in session at the Hotel Chs'
fonte.
The organizati also went on record
as favoring advertising on an extern
sive scale and gave its approval TO
the admission of real estate boards
into the league as associate members
with the proviso that real estate op'
orators in sections where there are
no organizations be admitted as men,
bers at large. A plan for dividing
the state into districts, with gov
ernor as supervisor for each was re-
ferred to the board of governors for
consideration to report back to the
general body.
Morris Scheck. of Newark, in deal
ing with the subject of publicity, a.
serted his belief that more effective
results could be obtained if advertise
ments were placed in groups and dis.
played, instead of the present form Of
announcements in classified columns
E. H. Lambert, of Paterson, pres.-
dent of Paterson Real Estate Board,
said that 1t was an injury to the bus'-
ness to permit different commissions
for buying and selling real estate ID
this state and also for renting. Ine
state law permitted an agreement 10Y
sale, but the commission has not beea
fixed. 1t would be a protection, ne
said, to broker and parties to the con-
tract if it was known what the COM
mission would be.
On the question OF the revision O,
the laws bearing on the loaning o.
money on mortgages Mr.. Lamben
urged that foreclosure should be SIM
plified and made less expensive. WIFE
this change, he believed, additional cap
ital would flow into New Jersey fol

money would be sent outside for IN

consists of a small vestibule, a secre-
tary's room and the chamber proper"
The estimate of $7,O00,0OO, Comp
troller Craig said, does not include the
cost of furnishing the building. This
amount is the estimate of the archi-
tects as to what the structure itself
Will cost as based on material and la
Dor costs Of last August
The circular courthouse would have
been monumental structure, sensa-
tlon in the construction world and a
building that would have won the at
tentlon Of folks in every corner of the
universe. Mr.. Lowell worships the cir
cular courthouse plan, but the men
who hold the strings Of Father Knick-
erbocker's money bag, which is none
too full these days. and the men who
were to occupy it day after day were
not particularly keen about the plan.
Under the old Court House act JUS
tees of the Supreme Court had to ap-
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

laws to curb this evil. That BODY re.
sponded with hastily prepared measures
winch appeared to give relief, but like
al hasty legislation has proved con-
fusing.
Under the old law the court could
grant tenant only five days, but un-
aer the new law twenty days are al
lo"eo: Onder another law thirty days
are given. II an owner wants an apart
ment, Judge Davies said, mere note
that twenty days later the premises
must be vacated is not sufficient and
VIII not be recognized in court. He
sald tnat the notice must embody all
the points of section $50 of the laws Of
1919 in demanding the termination Of
a possession by the tenant. 1t must be
formal document.
Judge Davies explained that poorly
prepared notice could bring trouble to
landlord. He told how dispossess
proceeding could be stretched over
three months under the present laws.
The "no-heat, no-rent" slogan de-
veloped new laws and developed the
status of landlord and tenant The be-
lief that the tenant had no rights has
been changed.
Ownership a Big Obligation
Magistrate Koenig told the managers
and owners that the ownership Of prop
erty these days imposed on one the
necessity of a law course that one
may be able to understand or interpret
legislation; study of the penal code.
building regulations, the sanitary code
ire prevention rules, tenement house
laws, and some others.
he said that despite the confusion
IN the laws it must be borne in mind
that they were prepared and passed
Tor purpose-the good of the COM
munity. The individual may suffer by
these laws, but since they are for the
good of the people at large there is
justice in them. There is sound reason
therefore for all this hasty legislation
affecting property interests. The state
has the right to restrict the opera
tlon OF property for the good Of the
community.
Health Department Rules Paramount
The Health Department says that
residential and business premises be
heated. That is law, and Magistrate
hoenlg reminded the building managers
and building owners that the Health
department rules were paramount and
above any ordinances which might be
passed by the Board Of Aldermen. The
Health Department requires 68 degrees
of heat, and that is the law.
Magistrate Koenig said that the
courts will not permit evasion of a
mandatory statute, which explains WHY
real estate agents get into trouble. He
SAID tho law must be upheld.
