even been said, IT there are not

and use THAR Such proposals
have been solemnly advanced by
perfectly honest men who obv-

They said that it was merely the
desire of the Government to back

adoption OF the remedy. That
such views should be accepted by
any substantial body of workpeo-

prosperity.
''The delusiOns above touched
upon cannot justly be described as

previous time" Mr.. DalIinger said.
The house may take action on 4
resolution to deny Berger seat
without the formality of referring the
matter to the elections committee or
reopcning hearings on the case again
Mr.. Dallinger explained.
The facts in the case" he said,
ARE exactly the same as. they were
before and ever will be. Berger, the
committee decided, gave aid and
comfort to the enemy and any one
so judged is barred from membership
in the house under provisions of the
Constitution. His ineligibility is
just as great as when he first pre-
scented himself. The house, by de-
cisiye vote, supported the resolution
of the committee denying him seat.
and action will be taken the second
time"
The resolution denying Berger a
seat passed the house November 10

ing in the negative.

to Hold Apartment

Hugh McIsaac, occupant of apart
ment number five at 2SO2 Wisconsin
avenue northwest. asked the District
Supreme Court yesterday to enjoin
Thomas II. Melton. the owner and
manager of the apartment house,
from mOlesting him in his possession
of the apartment and from making
an effort to evict him until the court
can decide who is entitled to the oc-
cupancy of the apartment.
Mc1saac states that he leased the
apartment on October l, 1917. Since
January 10 last, he states. Melton
has twice entered the apartment with
out his permission and once substi-
tuted the lock on the front door and
did other things with view to fore
ing him to vacate.
Melton. the plaintiff claims, even re-
fused an advanced rental and a new
lease from him in order that he may
peacefully remain in the apartment
Because of certain acts of Melton,
McIsaac states, he has been forced
to hire a watchman to watch the
apartment in his absence, his family
being at present in California. He

RENO BENEDICTS
SET UP. RECORD
City Had Smallest Per-
centage of Married Men
in Draft. :

Nevada, with its celebrated Reno,
ran true to form during the war. ac-
oording to Gen. Crowder's draft fig
ures. 1t had the smallest percentage
of married men registered for the
draft of any State.
Only q per cent of the men who
signed up out there were married.
while Georgia can boast OF a record
of 55 per cent. And since nine out
of every ten married men were de-
ferred, the Reno judges seem to have
performed a patriotic service.
For the information of the matri-
monially inclined, Gen. Crowder's fig
ures show a shortage of husbands in
the Far West, Montana, North Da-
kota, Wyoming. South Dakota Wash
