II. Inserts a new provision in the
Penal Code making it crime for q
landlord to deny the normal and nat
ural service. In explaining this meas
ure Senator Walters said:
This measure, which carries with it
a penalty of not more than one wear
in prison, $1,000 fine. or both, will put
an end to one of the favorite means
which it is said landlords of apartment
houses in New York City rcsorted to
in order to get tenants with leases to
leave so they could get new tenant
who would pay more money. The
normal and natural services in an ele-
vator apartment house are elevator,
keat and water. Now, it is said that
some landlords cut off the elevator
service and others cut off the heat, and
some cut off water This bill will make
such tactics a crime"
Senator Walters said that many of
the measures, while drastic, are drafted
to relieve a situation which is en-
dangering the public welfare, public
health and public morals, and that
under such an emergency the state is
justified in exercising it's police power.
The bills have the approval of rep
resentative New York City landlords.
according to Senator Walters
The proposed legislation applies only
to residential property.

'The most genuine bankruptcy this
state can Afford" he said, "is that
coming from paying the teachers what
they deserve. This has got to be
worked out even though we plug up

I favor the Lockwood bill because it

Education Board Seeks
Hearing on Increase Pl0n
VIII Ask Legislative Committee
to Defer Action Until ITS
Position Can Be Presented

In view of the hearing which began
yesterday at Albany on the proposition
of increased compensation for New
York's public school teachers the
Board Of Education last night decided
to ask the Legislative committees for
a special hearing on its position with
regard to the proposed salary increases.
Arthur S. Somers moved that the
sboard take some action which would
make clear that the board was prop
erly concerned with the seriousness of
the situation and awaited only the re-
port of the special committee which
has been investigating the problem.
President Prall was instructed to send
a telegram to Albany asking the legis-
lative committee to defer action until
the board could be heard The boards
committee will make its report by Mon
day.
From individual expressions by men,
bers Of the Board of Education it was
learned that the Lockwood-Dono
measure will not get the Endorsement
of the board as whole. The board is
known to be favorable to substantial
increases for elementary beginning
teachers the lowest paid--and to in
creases for teachers who are the heads
Of families
The board voted to comply with the
suggestion of F. H. La Guardia, Presi-
dent Of the Board of Aldermen, that if
the board would send the data regard
ing the claims Of teachers made in 1918
by several hundred teachers, janitors
and other employees of the Depart
ment Of Education, the Board of Est-
mate and Apportionment would grant
those claims without further delay.
Miss Bell Gurnee and others repre-
senting the American Civics Commit
tee of the woman's branch of the Civic
Federation, were granted hearing be-
fore the board on their complaint that
the local teachers in Americanization
were inadequately paid

gesred that the Department of Educa-

Ratify Treaty
Except League,
Is Peace Plan
Continued from page I

| against ratification last Friday. HIS
advocacy of the plan proposed several
months ago by Senator Knox was
regarded as extremely important IN the
Senate, and many Senators on both
! sides expressed the opinion that Sem
ator Underwood reflected tho intention
of the President to send the treaty
back to the Senate for another vote
before the election next November.
The plan for ratification discussed
by Senator Underwood is being consld-
cred by the President.
Associated with Senator Underwood
in advancing the suggestion are many
Of the Democratic Senators who voted
to ratfy the treaty.
Only few Republican Senator'S are
in Washington, and they would not say
whether they would join in an effort
to revive the treaty on that basis
Senator Lodge, chairman of the For,
eign Relations Committee, who declared
after last Fridays vote that the treaty
would not be reported to the Senate
from the committee until after the
election if the President should send
it back to the Senate, left Washington
early in the day for short vacation.
Before leaving the city he conferred
at length with Representative Porter,
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee of the House. Plans for chang-
ing the Knox peace resolution so that
it would pass both houses by sub
stantial majority, were discussed.
Repeal of all the wartime legisla-
tion will be included in the resolution
before it is finally adopted. Senator
Lodge and Mr. Porter agreed.
The House Committee will meet daily
while the Senators take rest during
the next week or so and draft re-
pealcr of the wartime laws. The plan
Of Republican leaders is to have the
Senate adopt q joint resolution repeal
ing the declaration Of war and then
the House add to it a repeater of the
wartime legislation.
There is possibility, Senator Lodge
said to-day, that request will be in
serted in the resolution for the Presi-
dent to negotiate new treaty with
Germany The resolution will provide,
it was said, that old agreements be-
tween Germany and the United States
continue in force until new treaty is
concluded.
Democrats in the Senate are pre-
pairing to delay passage of the peace
resolution for several weeks while they
contest the constitutionality of the
right Of Congress to enact such meas
ure.
senator 1nOmas, OF colorado, 1ol-
lowing the statement issued yesterday
by Senator Hitchcock, Administration
Senate leader, in Augusta, Ga. declar
ing that Congress did not have the
constitutional right to declare peace,
attacked the plan to adopt a peace
resolution in the Senate to-day.
Senator Thomas declared it would
be unconstitutona for Congress to
adopt such resolution. or to pass a
peace resolution over the Presidents
veto. He said, however, that the Pres
ident's signature to peace resolu-
tion would conclude peace and would
make such an instrument constitu-
tional.

beta-particle, which will make thai
