.FAV0RS REPEAL
OF Ev|CT|ONLAW
Senate Subcommittee to 49,
prove District Bill intro
duced by Ball.

A favorable report is to be made
by the subcommittee of the Senate
judiciary committee on the bill. in
troduced by Senator Ball of Delaware.
which would repeal that section of the
District code permitting landlords to
obtain eviction judgments on seven
day notices. after the required thirty
day notice has been given. Senator
Borah, chairman of the Subcom-
mittee. indicated that the report will
be made to the full committee at it's
session next Monday.
The purpose of the bill is to pre-
vent evictions OF tenants, which are
taking place under short notices in
large numbers. and also to retain the
status quo. as far as possible. until
the Supreme Court of the United
States shall have passed upon the
Ba II rent commission act.
Under the present law where an
owner wants possession of prop
erty for his own use, or otherwise.
tenant must be given thirtyday
notice to vacate. Should the tenant
fail to surrender possession at the
expire ton of thirty days. the owner
then has a right to go into the Munic-
ipal Court and institute proceedings
10 dispossess him by filing what is
known as a seven-day summons.
Senator Balls measure. while repeal
ing the seven-day eviction provision
of the code. does not alter
the present requirement for the Civ
ing of a thirty-day notice 10 tenants.
Failure of tenant TO pay his rent
promptly and at the specified time
under existing law gives the owner
the right to go into Municipal Court
and sue for either rent or possession
under what is called a seven-dsy
summons. but which generally con-
sumes ten days exclusive of holidays
and Sundays. In majority of cases.
the tenant drags the case along by
either asking for a continuance or
noting an appeal if the decision is un-
favorable to him, real estate dealers
say.
Real estate dealers take the posi-
ton that ajudgment under the seven
day summons rule is fair. on the
ground that IL tenant fails to pay
hi. rent the owner should be able to
collect without losing several months
or years rent.

CLEAN UP UNSIGHTLY SPOTS
Rubbish Piles Are Very Much Out Of
Place In Any City Of High
Aspirations.

In the good old days before we got
30 absorbed In running the universe
and contemplating the cost of living,
we used to pay more attention to such
homely matters as cleaning the streets
and tidying up the yards, remarks the
Kansas City Star. DR.. E. H. Bullock,
health director. has called attention
to our deficiencies In his appeal for a
cleanup.
OF course premises ought to be kept
tidy all the time. There Is no excuse
for accommodating piles of ashes and
tin cans. Still, In this frail world such
things as rubbish piles do exist. That
being the case, 1t Is better to clean up
spring and fall than never to clean up
at all.
Most persons who get. about town
will testify to the general tidiness
Of yards. The average family takes
pride In the appearance of a we'll
kept lawn. But an occasional Stacker
may disfgure whole block. One un-
kempt place will nullify the efforts Of
the entire neighborhood
Let's not be a black spot on the
nelghborhood map. Let's clean up!

entire citizenship Of our town must OBJ

LOOP and Elevated AeriaIs.

An extensive research on radio
transmission and reception with varl.
Gus types of aerials has been In prog.
ress at the bureau of standards, Wash
ington. D. c., says the Scientific Amer
lean. One of the most interesting
questions at the present time Is as to
the relative advantages Of the an
tenna. or usual type Of elevated aerial,
and the smaller coil aerial or "loop."
This question Is answered by the
studies of the bureau. The small coil
aerial has many advantages, but Is
usually not SD powerful transmitting
and receiving device as the antenna
type of aerial. 1t may, however, have
70 much lower assistance than the an.
emma that Il Is equal to It In trans
uniting and receiving value.

Cleanup Day Generally Observed

| Clean-Up Day Generally Observed
Wednesday, Aug 25th, which was SET
apart as Cleanup Day" for Arcadia
was quite generally observed, especially
In the business section, where the ap
|pearances of the town has undergone
a decided improvement. While the
work Of cleaning up the residential sec.
lions of the town was not so thorough,
yet much good work was done, and is
still under way.
But there still remains weeds and
rubbish enough over Arcadia to justify
another cleanup day, or some one
might get lost in the weed patches, SO
let the good work continue.
1t is hardly to be expected that any
one official can see and take note of
every little condition that needs cor.
rectiOn in the town. That would be
asking too much Of men who are not
|paid to give their whole time to sucl
work, so to have the cleanest town in
the South, the business men, the pub.

CLAIMS RAILROADS
TO REDUCE WAGES
DIRECT CHARGE MADE BY THE
BROTHERHOOD CHIEF.

New York, Jan. 20. - Direct
charges that certain railroads" we, e
planning to reduce wages as soon as
the roads were returned to private
ownership were made by Timothy
Shea, acting president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, speaking at the 29tn
annual meeting of the National
Civic Association here today.
Mr.. Shea denounced the Cummins
bill, now before the Senate, and join
ed with Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
in an attack on compulsory arbitra-
ton. Referring to the Cummins bill,
he said:
"This bill is the outcome of con-
spiracy to reduce wages below their
present inadequate level when the
roads are returned to private owner
ship" The alleged conspirators, he
continued, proposed to make cut in
pay and if strike followed its sup
preston by wholesale prosecutions.
eve have positive evidence, fur
nished by our local agents of certain
railroads, where managers have said
that they would only continue the
present wage schedules during feder-
al control" declared the speaker.
Denying the statement of speak
er at the opening session that the
railroad men were the highest paid
class of workers in the country and
that one engineer had received $3.50
monthly. Mr. Shea declared that
the man might have received this
amount, but that he would have had
to work Id hours day, 80 days a
meath TO get It. Wages have in
creased approximately 45 per cent
for this class of workers, he sal J.
>.. & eesssavhe cosr OF living has in
creased about 90 per cent.
There is no danger of strike
on American railroads unless it is
provoked bv such legislation as the
Cummins bill or such an attitude Of
the government as in the coal strike"
the speaker said in conclusion.

HYDE FOR INJURIES RECEiV-
ED IN CAPTURING AN ILLICIT
STILL,

A jackson Daily paper says last
September when the days were
growing hazy and the corn was get
ting hard on the ears, there was some
man in Yalobusha county who de-
cided that there could be no harm IN
turning stock food into something
really worth while pure corn Whlskey
and accordingly opened a still where
with water from a sparkling creek
to make the mash and with corn
raised in Old Miss he proceed to
turn out white fluid that makes
the sons of man forget their cares
But a deputy sheriff interfered,
came out to raid the still and met re
sistence. The man who owns it en-
gagged him in small war with the re-
suit the keeper of the still was sent
to Join his fathers and the deputy
spent some days in his bed as re-
suit of wound in the leg.
And now the merits and dement's
of the still raiding and capture have
reached the legislature at jackson.
Yesterday Mr.. Denley who comes
from Yalobusha and who says there
is not another still in the county in
troduced a bill to permit the super
visors of Yalobusha to pay the
wounded deputy sum not exceed
ing five hundred dollars to reimburse
him for the money he was compelled
to pay his physician for treating his
injuries. ,..,
A bill of this nature is a little un,
usual and will be heard with good
deal of interest by the local and prl-
vate committee.

|SPIRITUALISM
HELPS RELIGION.
SAYS LODGE
NOTED SCIENTIST CLAIMS
MANS SURVIVAL Is PROVEN.

Sir Oliver Lodge, noted British
scientist and leading exponent of
spiritualism on his arrival in New

but on the contrary strengthen
and supports it. "The survival of man
can be proven" he said, ''and that

essential parts of the old religion
are all strengthened and supported
by the new evidence. The result Of
accepting the facts under investiga-
ton is to strengthen faith and over
throw purely materialistic concep-
tons on the negative side"
Sir Oliver asserted that men who
have lost their lives in the war have
been communicated with. He said
that while he understood that there
were crooked mediums he had never
met one.
'The next world is phase" he
continued. ''It may not be differ

Sir Oliver dvised persons of weak

unless a person possessed strong
force of mind there was danger that
constant application upon the board
might affect his mentality.
