George Geodacre Did Not Buy
Goods Knowing They Were Stolen.

The publication in The Star yester-
day concerning the arrest Of George
Goodacre for completely in the theft
of goods from railroad cars was in
correct and misleading In respect to
the. allegation Of Mr.. Goodacre's iden-
tincation with the offense. The
charge upon which he was arrested
was that Of receiving stolen goods.
Mr.. Goodacre strongly denies that he
has knowingly been the purchaser OF
goods stolen from freight cara. He
has made a statement bearing upon
tho case, in which he says:

stolen goods.
The fact that the man had for
merly kept secondhand goods for
sale allayed all suspicion when he
came to me. I purchased the ciga-
rettes at a bargain. just as any one
is supposed to buy all secondhand
goods. No one was more surprised
than I to learn from the authorities
that the property had been stolen"

Senate D. C.. Subcommittee
on Profiteering Wants
Model Law.

The Senate District subcommittee
Investigating alleged profiteering In
the District of Columbis is going to
take up the question Of rents imms-
diately. it was said today by Senator
Ball. chairman of the committee. It
is likely that the committee hearings
tomorrow will deal with the rent sit
uation exclusively.
I'VE believe that one of the most
pressing matters about the entire sit
uation in the District with regard to
the high cost Of living is the rent

lore the salisbury act became a law.
Advocate Model Rent Law.
T have not yet had a conference
with the Attorney General in regard
to this matter. but members of the
committee feel that there should be
a model rents law enacted for tho
District of Columbia. Recommends
tions for such a law undoubtedly will
be made as soon as possible"
In some quarters 1t has been sug-
gested that Congress will extend tho
salisbury act still further. 80 as to
protect tenants who have received
notices from their landlords that they
will be ousted as soon as the Sauls-
bury act expires Some of the sena-
tors favor extending the Salisbury
act at least nine months beyond the
final making of peace. II some per-
manent rent legislation cannot be en-
acted at this time, it is likely that
steps will be taken to extend the
salisbury act.
After the subcommittee has COM
pleted its hearings on rents 1t will
then take up the question of fuel,
coal and wood, and after that shoes
and dry goods, and more food dealers
also will be heard.
