fer the reader to section rs OF the
BILL This provides that the tenant
has the right to sublet providing he
does not increase the rent. Under ex-
listing regulations the tenant must
have the permission Of the owner 70

does not even protect the owner TO
this extent.
"sfrIkes Body Blow
when property is once rented q
may be readily seen that It passes
from the control Of the owner while
the proposed law remains In force.
This Is indeed a most vicious practice,
one that strikes a body blow at the
customary relationship between own
er and tenant. II might be weH to
consider this bill from an economic
standpoint. What will be its effect
on realty values and building opera
tions in the District? We are look

cedure with perfect safety under the
law. He likewise may hold furniture
at an exaggerated figure IN sublet-

The law Is worse than outright
conhscation OF property. Under con-

simply relieved Of all responsibility
for his property. Under the Ball bill
he Is relieved Of his property but
not Of the responsibility Tenants

d. C.. Real Estate Man
Scores Ball Rent Bill;
"VicjouS," He Declares

Sounding a note Of alarm, Bates
warren, prominent attorney and real
estate man OF the District. declared
today that should the Ball rent bill
be enacted into law, the construc-
ton of buildings for rental purposes
would cease.
'sThe law is vicious in the ex-
IRENE" declared Mr.. Warren, and
strikes a body blow at the inherant
right tot the owner to exercise su-
pervision over his property.
an the first place, II gives alto
rether too much power TO the commits
sion and instead Of simply empower
ing the commission with the right to
hx rentals. II gives IL supervision over
the intricacie8 Of repairs, service and
the like. Every measure Of the law
Is subject to appeal to the Court Of
Appeals, and it is not hard to imagine
the confusion that will result.
Tenantu Hold whip Hand.
'sThe eject OF the law Is that the
mana cement Of h3tels and apart
ments Is taken from the owners and
placed in the hands OF the commits
sion. In effect the owner simply
turns his property over to the ten
ant Any one dissatisfied tenant In
an apartment housing, say, fifty FAM
lilies, can appeal 70 the commission
and bring about an investigation Of
every detail incident TO the operation
Of the apartment. In q hotel such
as the willard, say, a guest who felt
himself slighted because the prop
er nu.nber Of towels had not been
left In his room. or any one Of
hundred silly details might appeal
to the commission. From the COM
mission the case can be carried 20

rests entirely on the owner, an ar

VALLEY CORN CROP
 LOSS S45O,0OO BY
 STORM |S ESTIMATE

The Salt River valley cotton crop sustained a loss of approximately s450,- 900 in the hail and windstorm which swept the south shore of the river last Saturday night, according to state ment made yesterday by Charles G.. Steele, connected with the brokerage firm of R. Allyn Lewis.
 This may come as a sensation to many people," said Mir Steele, but I believe it is the truth. I am convinced the loss will be as much as this. It may be more"
 Mir. Steele bases his estimate on per- sonal examination of the devastated fields in the districts south and south west of Mesa in the Jordan school dis from various cotton growers through out this district.
 While this figure is not official, and represents only Mir. Steele's personal opinion, it is understood that an official estimate places the storm damage at f per cent of the total crop.
 This years crop, not including the yield from Florence, Casa Grande and Parker, has an estimated value of s13,- 500,0Q0 Four per cent of this is s540.- 900, 4n even heavier loss than that estimated by Mir Steele.
 A B. Hinkle, Jr., of the Southwest Cotton company, was disposed to doubt that the Salt River crop has been dam aged to the extent of half a million dollars, stating. however that he was not yet in possession of any report from the ranches owned or controlled by his company.

WOLF TRAPS MENACE
 LIVES IF CHILDREN

That professional trappers working in the Coronado National forest in Santa Cruz county are endangering the lives of children by placing large wolf traps near roads and trails. is the subject of a complaint received yes terday by Attorney General Wiley E. Jones.
 The letter which voiced the com plaint was from A. NJ. McNab, of Park CT Canyon, a small village located in the National forest. He states that several valuable dogs have been killed by being caught in the large traps which have been placed in some cases as close as IS inches from the trail. When a former complaint was made to the attorney generals office, MT. Jones took the matter up with Leslie Hardy, assistant county attorney of Santa Cruz county. He informed Hardy at that time that professional trappers had no right to place traps so close to the trails as to endanger children's lives, and that if it was not stopped action should be taken.
 In his reply yesterday, he informed McNab that action would be taken at once to see that the county attorney of Santa Cruz county notified the trap pers to cease placing traps close to trails.

Pig Thought Far
 Away is Foullad
 flo be Very Near

: A pig in a newspaper office, the squeaIs of the girls employed there in, rivailinq the ejaculations of the pig, and Niles c. Hyatt of The Re- publican using the animal for a footstooi, all contributed to the un- usual excitement about The Repub- Iican office yesterday afternoon.
 Hyatt has been wanting a pig for long time. He owns ranch and considers such an animal neces- sary adjunct to any properly con ducted country estate. Niles put the matter up to Harry Pierson and Charles Zimmerman, dairy experts or the Pacific Creamery Go.
 Pierson and Zimmerman agreed to get Hyatt pig by fair means or foul. Some day Hyatt expected to get the pig, but he waited so long for his pork, that he had given up hope.
 Yesterday afternoon Hyatt sat down at his desk with the weight of the universe on his shoulders, showed his brogans to the front and asked whose dog he was treading on. About that time he trod bit too hard and with a squeai and scurry out came as fine a looking a young pig as Mir. Hyatt had ever dreamed of.
 The addition to Hyatt's ranch, succeeded in freeing several stem oeraphers, who added their voices in unison with the pigs disaoproval. It was with considerable difficulty, that the animal was pers Iaded to enter his new masters auto.
 The last seen of Hyatt and his pig, the two were headed for home.
