carries COURT FRUIT HELD UP
TO LANDLORDS INF R. YARDS

OF City to Subdue Stub
born Owners.

The District Rent Commission to-
day started a tour which may take Il
all over Washington before its aim
has been accomplished. In order to
subdue stubborn landlords. the COM
mission In the future will dispose OF
many cases on the ground floor In
stead OF in the courtroom.
BY invoking the power OF its "own
Initiative" the commission has met a
number OF the many obstacles which
have been aimed at II recently in an
effort to discredit it's authority and
render IL powerless.
On the docket OF the commission
are numerous cases In which defend
ant landlords have refused TO put in
an appearance. for the purpose OF
putting them in the light of refusing
TO recognize the commission by ig-
noring It's summons.
Such practice. which is daily
growing, will be counteracted by the
commission by using the power OF its
own initiative, which Is granted to IL
by law. This will mean that the COM
mission will hereafter go out and in
vestigate the properties about which
complaints have been made and base
its decisions upon its own personal
findings without the defendants side
who refused to appear to state his
case
The commission this morning hand
ed down by determination in which
rents were reduced, and in others like
increases allowed.
In the case of Anna p. Eggleston
against the S. II. Smith Company. the
commission fixed $3.50 as a fair rem
tai for apartment No in the Wesley
at 1921 Columbia road northwest. The
present rental Is $40.
The commission allowed an increase
OF from $50 to $3.50 for Apartment 3
the Wesley, in the case of Lottie L.
Anderson against the S. II. Smith
Company.

pany, as agents. against the tenants

Protest Is Registered Against

1--WE do not want Connecticut ave-

declared william s. Elliott, of Ad-
vistory Committee No. 3, voicing the
protest OF the property owners and
residents in the vicinity OF the Connec-
ticut avenue bridge 10 the plan OF
the ID. c. Zoning Comission to set on
a considerable section OF the avenue
as a business district. Elliott spoke
at tho hrst public hearing on the pro
posed zoning plans. which began this
morning in the board room in the
District Building. Hhe room was

Elliott suggested only two squares
OF Connecticut avenue be used Tor
business purposes as against the
present plan OF the commission TO es-
tablish a trade district from Jenlier
to McComb street. and also to name
two business squares near CheNy
Chase Circle. with the approval OF
Arthur b. Crane. Fred A. Emery ana
Alfred T. Gage, he presented a state
ment OF objetcions to the commis-
sion's plans, which reads, In part as
follows:
ITO establish the business district
as you now propose will be grave
mistake from the point OF view OF
maintaining Washington as a beauti- :
ful residential city; 1t would depreci-
ate properties now valuable Tor resi-
Dental purposes in Chevy Chase;
would mar one of the most beautiful
approaches to Washington. and would
be in opposition to wishes and de-
sires OF the vast majority or prop
erty owners and home owners in that
part OF the District"
Charles A. Baker. secretary of Ad-
visory Committee No. I, appeared for
resident sof Georgetown. He strenu-
ousiy objected to the proposal to es-
tablish an industrial district along
the canal and waterfront.
The citizens of Georgetown have
felt for many years that some day
this section would be developed and
become a part of the parking system
of Washington" Baker said. There
are no manufacturing establishments
there at present. and we feel none
should be allowed. The section is
right on the river front. 1t can be
developed into one of the most beau
tiful spots in the city.
Col. Clarence S. Ridley member of
the commission. interrupted Baker
to inquVe whether this would not
make a good residential section. Baker

RATS MUST GO,
SAYS FOWLER
Starts determination Drive As
Precaution Against Bubonic'
Plague.

A campaign in Washington for the
determination OF rats was advocated
today by DR. William c. Fowler, Dis
trict health officer. who has just re-
turned from Galveston. Tex, where
he. with health officials from every
part OF the country. made a thorough
study OF bubonic plague which has ap-
peared in the South.
while | do not think there Is the
slightest danger OF the plague reach
ing Washington" said DR.. Fowler.
discussing his trip, IL believe that as
a preventive also from an economic
standpoint there should be a cam
paign to rid the city OF its rats"
DR.. Fowler's visit to the Southern
city resulted in his gaining many
pointers regarding this plague. Health
authorities have established. beyond
a doubt. the s.ct that this plague is
spread by rats-largely by type
known as Norway" rats.
"This bubonic plague has been
found only in cities bordering on the
water" said DR.. Fowler. There
seems to be absolutely no danger of
the plague in the interior of the
country. Rats from the water front
very seldom venture into the States.
They seem to confine their activities
to water front warehouses, buildings
and dwellings.
Il think 1t would be wise for the
people of Washington to begin now
to exterminate the rats. Various
methods can be used. There Is the
trap, the poisoning of the rat, but
the best way of all is to shut of the
rodents food supply.
THE lids OF garbage cans should
be kept tightly shut at all times
People should avoid throwing waste
food about their yards or keeping II
in places accessible to these pests
The rats exist on the food they find
around homes. Cut off this food sup
ply and you exterminate the rats"
Or. Fowler states that millions OF
dollars are being spent in the South
rat-proofing warehouses, buildings
and dwellings along the water front
He states the people are aroused to
the danger of this plague and are
excercising every precaution and are
waging a campaign against the ro
dents.
The health officers who gathered
in Galveston last. week agreed" Dr
Fowler said. that the best thing to
do at this time was to wag" cam
paign against the rat. officials OF
the Public Health Service are ooinc
excellent work in the south toward
campaigning against the rodent, AM
It is urged this campaign be nation
wide.
1T has been found that plague rats
die in great numbers. When the flea
which carries the bubonic germ at
tacks a rodent 1t remains on the body
until death and then hies to another
rat. and so on until entire rat colonies
are exterminated. Unable to find more
rats it then attacks human beings and
the results are usually disastrous"
There are now eighteen buboniC
plague cases in New Orleans. five in
Galveston and eleven in Beaumont
Texas. In the home of every person
found with the disease there have
been found dead plague rats"
