Piano playing exercises the eyes, the

HOLDS COURT MUST HEAR
ACTION FOR POSSESSION
Justice Siddons Decides Case Begun
Prior to Rent Commission Func-
tioning Should Go On.

Declining to pass .on the constitu-
tionality of the Ball rent law or to
specify the procedure to be followed
by the Municipal Court. Justice Siddons
of the District Supreme Court decided
Friday that Judge Terrell of the Munich
pal Court should proceed with tthe case
of Mrs. Carrie NJ. Wood for the posses
sion of premises 1106 18th street north
west Mrs. Wood said she had bought
the property for her own use and sued
for possession last December. before
the rent commission had been Sc
lected. When Judge Terrell suspended
hearing pending action of the rent
commission, Mrs. Wood asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court for a mandamus.
Justice Siddons declared that a
mandamus would not be necessary. he
presumed. but stated that, he would
tell Judge Terrell that the case should
proceed without directing him what
he should do. The court made il plain
That the decision related only to this
case, which arose while there was nc
rent commission functiOning.
Counsel for Judge Terrell contended
that the rent commission under the
Ball act must pass on the bona fides OF
the cls.im of purchaser before he
may proceed in the Municipal Cour,
TO recover possession. on the other
hand the lawyers for Mrs. WooG
claimed that the act places a limita
tion on the powers of the commission
and eXceptS cases where the pur-
chaser or landlord wants the property
for his own use. unless there arises q
dispute over the good faith of his
claim, and that unless such dispute
IS apparent the Municfpal Court must
proceed TO give judgment for posses.
sion without reference to the com.
mission.
While the court orders the case te
proceed, il is pointed out the tenant
may question the good faith of the
claim for personal use and may sue.
