500 to $4,000.

Cleveland Moffett. the writer. ap-
peared yesterday before the Mayors
committee on rent profiteering, and the
committee on general welfare of the
Board of Aldermen, to protest against an
increase OF sevepty-fve per cent. in the
rent of the house at 1873 East Fifty
sixth street. which he has been occupy
ing for seven years. The owners of the
property, the Wellesbourne Realty Com
pany of 32 Broadway, demanded on
August / an increase of from $500 a
year to $4,000 a year and refused TO
compromise for a rental of s1,S00, which
Mr.. Moffett offered
G. w. Cushier, agent for the company,
admitted that the raise had been de-
manded but said that Mr.. Moffett was
an undesirable tenant. Walter S. Ken

produced a letter which had been writ
ten by Cushier. in which Mr. Moffett was
offered the house for three years at the

at 1876 East Fifty-hfth street This
property is exactly similar to the house

said he rents It for $1,700 a year and
considers this a very fair rental, as IL
gives him a return Of 6la per cent. on
his investment II was also brought
out that Mr.. Moffett has spent $1,000
on repairs to the house owned by the
weilesbourhe company. Mr.. Moffett de-
clared that the demand for such a
large increase was a fragrant case of
profiteering.
It was finally agreed that Mr.. Mof-
fett should deposit the rent for August

WILL FIGHT MCOOEY
Three Uprisings Against Dem
ocratic Chief in Kings.

Although John H. McCooey, head of
the Democratic organization in Kings
county, has always done his best to re-
tain the favor of William Randolph
Hearst and declares that the editor
should have nothing against him. Ed
mund O'Connor. head OF what remains
Of the old Independence League in Kings
Hcounty. announced definitely yesterday
that he would put an independent Demo-
cratic ticket in the field at the general
election.
The fact that Edward T. OLoughlin,
| the best known Hearst man in Brooklyn,
has resisted all efforts to draw him into
an Independent movement had been the
source OF much speculation in political
circles as TO just what the attitude OF
Mr.. Hearst will be in the Kings county
local campaign.
Mr.. O'Connor, Commissioner OF Rec
ords for seven years. who served as
| Deputy Register under Mr.. O'Loughlir
| in 1911, announces that he will run for
the Office OF Register. Max Hyman will
run for Sheriff on his ticket. Lieut.
Robert F. Stewart will run for the SUI
preme Court. Andrew Bayne for Surro-
gate. Alfred J. Boulton for County CLERK
and Francis L. Corrao and Mrs. c. F
Brothers for the County Court A can.
didate for District Attorney has not beer
selected yet.
The party will be known as the peo-
pies Independence party. and will have g
bulls eye. which they say signifies inde
pendence. as their emblem.
This makes the third group of alleget
independents that has arisen to muddl'
the Democratic political waters in King!
county. The first Is headed by r Perc,
Chitteuden. and has a complete ticke
in the primaries It Is predicted that IL
spite of all their protestations they will
not run an independent ticket at the gen
eral election; that after the primaries
they will be through.
The third uprising is headed by VIII
lam F. Connell. of whom Mr.. McCooe!
says he never heard. He calls his outti
the United Independent Democracy. Mr.
Corrao appears on his ticket for Count,
Judge, as we'll as on that of Mr.. OCon
nor. He is trying to get them to joiI

spectaI Despatch to TIE Sun.

WAsHINGroN, Aug. 21.-Six members
of the House Military Affairs Committee
filed an emphatic protest to-day against
the recommendation of President Wilson
to confer on Chief of STAFF March the
rank of full General for life because Of
his services during the war.
Five OF the signers OF the report are
Republicans and one. Representative
Caldwell, IN. W, is a Democrat The
Republicans are Anthony. tKan.) San
ford, IN. W; La Guardia, IN. "
Fuller, (Mass.), and Kearns. (Ohio).
The views Of the minority follow:
THE members of the committee
unanimously favor passage of the COM
penlon bill, which provides for the APP
pointment TO the great Office of General
general officer of the army who on
foreign soil and during the recent war
has been particularly distinguished in
the higher command of the military
forces of the United States. The Amer
lean people are ready with a single voice
to name Gen. John J. Pershing for this
great honor.

each OF these men was raised to the dis.

vices thus rendered were on the field Of

During the present war. however, thu

There are thousands of persons dur
