FORMER RULE UPHELD
Decision Puts New Tangle
In Controversy Over
Ball Rent Act.
FORMER RULE UPHELD

The Ball rent act. declared un-
constitutional by the Court of Ap-
peals, has gone through another
legal contortion in the courts. and
in so doing has added another kink
in an already tangled situation be-
tween landlords and tenants.
Justice Frederick l. Siddons. VINO
sometime ago in hearing appeals in
such cases, decided in the District
Supreme Court that he was bound
by the decision of the Appellate
Court, has since refused to permit
Mrs. Anne d. Hatch, occupant of the
premises at 925 Fifteenth street
northwest, known as the Tea
House." to be ousted, even though
Percy II. Russell. the owner, sought
possession on the ground of the un-
constitutionality of the rent law.
Julius ]. Peyser. who was asso-
ciate counsel of Julius Block in the
Hirsch-Block case, and also counsel
for Mrs. Hatch, received word re-
Gently from Justice Siddons that the
court would not disturb a previous
decree in favor OF Mrs. Hatch.
Russell had sought to have this
decree vacated and the court grant
him possession of the premises,
which he claimed to have bought in
September, 1912, from Edward J. Nc
Quade. On March 26, last. Justice
Siddons denied Russell a Judgment
for possession. the court stating
that the Court of Appeals had not
yet acted on the Ball rent act. Since
then the rent law has been declared
unconstitutional and consequently
Russell renewed his motion to the
court to vacate the decree which
refused him possession
This motion expressly outlined
the action of the Court of Appeals
