Jacob l. Guttag. owner Of an Gle
vator apartment house az No. 1855
Crotona Parkway, sought the ejeot-
ment of a tenant. Henry schatzklh.
who occupies n five room apartment
in the petitioners house and whose
lease expired oct. OF this year.
Schatzkin declined to sign a new
lease which the landlord proffered
and which called for substantially
higher rental He remained in his
apartment and upon the arrival ot
oct. 1 refused 10 move.
Tho landlord. through mis- counsel,
Bernard s. Deutsch. began an action
for tho eviction OF the tenant and at
tucked the constitutionality Of the
Amendment by which the Supreme
Court Is restrained from considering
ejectmcnt proceedings until is22
Tho landlords counsel contended
that the Legislature had no right 10
impose this restraint on the powers
OF the Supreme Court, arguing that
II tho Legislature was permitted 10
postpone the court's action for two
years there was danger OF the Legis-
lature continuing 10 extend this limit

Julius Tobias, counsel for the ten
ant, entered demurrer. In his
papers he upheld the right OF the
Legislature to declare that an emer-
Eency existed which threatened the
states police power designed 10 pro-
tect It's citizens and that the Legis-
lhture had the right 70 safeguard
these powers.
The decision Of Justice Finch was
literally as follows;
The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff l9 the owner Of real prop
erty and that the defendant was
a tenant Of an apartment thero-
In under a lease expiring Oct /.
1890, and refused 20 vacate The
defendant has interposed a de-
murrer and the only question
raised and argued by counsel Is
the constitutlonallty OF the law

sion OF the legislature prohibiting
the recovery by the owner there

TWO HUNDRED SHOTS TO
SINK CONCRETE SHIP

Fire attacked cargo of coal in an
American concrete ship lying at an
Choir in the harbor of Lisbon, Portu-
gal, few weeks ago, and in half an
hour it had gained such Roadway that
other shipping was endangered, and it
became necessary to sink the vessel.
At this seemingly simple task, reports

Magazine, a Portuguese gunboat
worked all night, firing the astonish-
ing total of 189 shells into the 5000
ton stone hull before t finally listed

the mouth of the Tagus River. The
glow of the burning vessel, and the
warship's desperate bombardment,
made spectacle that kept thousands
of excited spectators in suspense for
hours.

Record Breaking Revenues.

The collection of five and half billion
dollars of internal revenue dollars OF inter-
est revenue during the fiscal year ending
last June. encourages the hope that the
next Congress will find ways and means Tor
revising the tax lists downward. Even
though there is a war debt to be carried
and some big things TO be undertaken, and
making allowance for the reduction IN eA-
cess profits and corporation income taxes,
which is to be expected. there is likely 70

levy. 1t ought not 10 be necessary even 70
substitute a general sales tax, IN any ex-
tended form, in order 20 achieve some
measure Of remedy and relief.
One Of the striking features of the othclai
summary is the statement that four-hfths
Of all the expense Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau was incurred for the enforcement
Of regulatory measures, rather than IN the
collection Of taxes. The great body Of the
revenue pours into Uncle Sans golfers
automatically. through self-assessment,
and involving no other than that Of book
keeping. The increasing expense oi the
bureau of recent years has been caused oy

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE LOGIC OF POLITICS.

tn curious processes Of political logic
were never moro strikingly illustrated
than IN tn vehement cutlery raised by
the Republicans against the non-partisan
sugg stion that th people of the country
should devote one day before the election
to study of the League of Nations Cove
nant for themselves. For more than
year the advocates and opponents OF the
League have been telling the people what
it means and what il entails. Now they
are asked, as the jury which is to pass
upon the subject, to decide for themselves
how far the interpretations which nave
been put upon the covenant are lustihed
by its provisions. Both sides are appeal
ing TO the people for verdict, and yet
when the popular jury is asked to com
pare the text Of the submitted contract
with the assertions Of the political lawyers
our ears are assailed with charges OF
sinister motives and partisan hypocrisy.
The only thing that affords even ap-
| parent justification for the Republican
cry of foul is the selection of Sunday
instead Of some other day for popular
| examination Of the Covenant. And 1T
must be obvious that Sunday was chosen
| simply because it is the only day before
| the election in which there will be unin-
| terrupted leisure for wide analysis, no
great majority of clergymon are IN favor
of the League, and the Republicans are
evidently afraid there viii be a broadslde
of sermons in its behalf in the papers OF
| the following Monday morning. But the
people are not asked by~Governof Ritchie
or the original proponents of the sug-
/ gestion to listen TO sermons and take Their
views from the preachers, but to ex-
anime the matter for themselves, Just
as any jury would do, after the lawyers
had finished talking, when it came to
make up its verdict. The Republican
outcry seems to put them in the strange
position of being afraid to let the people
| look Mt the papers in the case.
The Republican larm is comphmer-
tary to supposed clerical influence, but
we fear it ascribea too much power to the
pulpit with respect TO such questions as
this Tho number of conversions to the
| League of covenant Sunday will depend
entirely upon the strength Of the logic,
rather than upon the clerical character
| Of the speaker II the Republicans are
| afraid Of logic. that is one thing, and a
thing which they may well fear. II they
are afraid OF religious appeals, their
alarm Is a significant commentary upon
the decadence of former standards IN the

HARDING's EUROPEAN SUPPORT.

Miss Spruanec's Wise Change.

The descrtion of such women as Mrs
Edith Spruancc, from the Republican
party in this years campaign, and her firm
stand for the League of Nations, is indeed
significant at this time. from the fact
that this new convert is by heredity-if
heredity counts-social affiliations and al
most every other circumstance, Re-
publican. Her father, the late Judge
William G. Spruance, however ardent a
Republican he might have been, always
retained spirit of Independence and
sought principle first in casting his ballot,
In other words, he, as we all who knew
him will recall, was not man to be driven
by the lash of the party bosses.
There are hundreds of women and men
here, and in all parts of the country, who
share the belief of Miss Spruance, and
perhaps a majority of them will support
the party that has-openly promised the
ratification of the World Peace Cove
nant, and not the party that promises one
day to scraait, and the next to take the
best out of Il and again to form some new
kind of n plan for the purpose of having q
peace understanding with the IA other
nations already members of the League.
Miss Spruance has the satisfaction OF
knowing that she has such distinguished
company as Miss Nj. Cary Thomas, presi-
dent Of Bryn Mawr College, wo is ap-
praised as the ablest American woman
and DR.. McCracken of Vassar, also one OF
