and then the band swung into stir

the national anthem of Belgium. As
the first srtains fell on the ears of

"Oh," commented the archbishop,

Have Not Executed Leases.
Scores of tenants in apartment
houses in every section of the city
have not executed their leases for
the ensuing year. They have refused
to accede to the profiteering de-
mands of landlords. Apartment
house jewellers have organized in
many of the flat buildings to fight
through the courts the landlords
plans to raise arbitrarily their rents
Many of them have adopted this
course without the knowledge of the
existence of this provision in their
leases.
When the matter was called to
the attention of an attorney repre-
senting the tenants of one of the
largest apartment houses in the city,
he declared he already had advised
those OF his clients who had not al
ready signed their leases to refuse
to do so. "All of these people are
protected by the lease which they
signed last year." he said.
Wording Perfectly Clear.
The wording of the agreement is
perfectly clear. The provision is
explicit and states exactly what it
means. The landlords simply will
be forced to live by their own agree
ment The form of lease was pre-
pared by the organization, which is
accused of profteering. 1t was
written by the lessons and it is pre-
sumed when the form was adopted
it was understood.
"While it is very plain the clause
was included by the real estate as
ISOLATION agents as means of pro-
tecting themselves against people
leaving, it also is very obvious that
lease was drawn before the days
high handed prohteering was posi-
bic as it is today.
"But it is their agreement and they
will have to stand by it.

Attorney Shotwell.
II have put the matter up to the
county attorney" said Mr.. Harrop,
after having our attorney, William
Mcdonald, look up the law in the
matter. We are acting under ad-
vice of our counsel, who says the
county attorney is authorized to
institute criminal action against
prohteering landlords under the
state laws preventing monopolies."
In the event the county attorney
does not see fit to take immediate
steps to relieve the situation, de-
clared Mr.. Harrop, Attorney Nc
Donald will be instructed to file a
complaint against the Wolf COM
pany. Mr.. Mcdonald declared
it was the duty of the county attor-
ney to file the complaint. If he
does not do SO promptly, it is the
right of the attorney for the
league to institute proceedings
against the landlords, it was said.

Attention yesterday was Called
to a provision in the form of lease
adopted by the Building Owners

ha, which permits the tenant to re-
main in his apartment the ensuing
year under the terms and conditions
of the past year, provided the tenant
was not served with notice by the
landlord 80 days before the expira-
ton of the lease to vacate.
A number OF the leading attorneys
Of Omaha, after reading the form of
lease, which is said to have been
executed by four-ffths of the occu-
pants of Omaha apartment houses,
expressed the opinion that tenants
who have not already been served
with notice to vacate, will be per-
mitted to remain another year in
their apartment at last years rate
of rent. Nearly all of the apartment
house leases expire September 80,
