Court as Justice Morris
Declares for No Evictions

18 Families in Alleged
Soviet To Be Ousted To-
day by a City Marshal

Landlords who threatened to eyict
tenants for refusing to pay increased
rents received scant consideration yes-
terday at the hands of Justice William
Morris, sitting in Part I of the Second
District Municipal Court, the Bronx.
Bringing his clenched fist down on
his desk with a resounding thump,
Justice Morris said if there were "any
grasping, gouging landlords present"
he was prepared to hear them, but he
could tell them in advance that if they
wanted any sviction warrants signed
against tenants who paid their rent
they were going to be disappointed.
Thereupon Simon Platt, an attorney
FOR firm which rents apartments, and
israel Click, the head of the firm.
started to plead with the justice.
Landlords Quit Room
"This is unfair to the landlords" re-
monstrated Mr.. Platt.
"1t's not fair to the tenants to give
these grasping, gouging landlords
everything they ask for" retorted Jus
titce Morris.
"Two weeks ago you didn't have the
power" Mr. Platt started to explain.
Thank God! I've got the power
now," interrupted Justice Morris II
could not sleep at night two months
ago knowing that had put women and
children out in the street"
Mr.. Platt then ventured to suggest
that he would take the case to the
Supreme Court.
Throwing off his judicial robe, rolling
up his sleeves and pointing his finger
at Platt, the justice said: go to the
Supreme Court! Go to the United
States Supreme Court! Go to hell!
think more of the little finger Of one
of the children of one of these tenants
than OF all the grasping landlords
combined
Taking the courts remarks as apply
ing to all landlords in general, several
attorneys, who, with knit brows, had
been scanning the unsigned lines on
eviction warrants, silently left the
room
They departed none too soon. Put
ting on his spectacles to get a better
survey of the occupants of the court
room, Justice Morris issued an edict
that if there were any landlords or
attorneys for landlords in the room
VINO expected to get eviction warrants
signed they might just as we'll not
waste their time.
Several tenants, after testifying that
they had been served with eviction
warrants because they refused to paw
what they called exorbitant rent, had
their landlords cases thrown out of
court.

LONDON, May 3.-Laurette Taylor
tonight had wonderful triumph at
her second London premiere at the
Garrick Theater in Zone Night in
Rome" In contrast with the riotous
scenes when she attempted to produce
the play last week, the whole audience
seemed determined to show its admira-
tion and affection for the American
actress. She was applauded almost
riotously at the close of the first act
and at the final curtain. Not one sign
of hostility marred the performance.
1t was apparent from the rising of
the curtain that the play was going to
have a fair trial. The Garrck was
crowded, every seat being taken. The
American Ambassador, John T. Davis,
again was present, also many promi-
nent figures in British official life.
Standing room was at premium.
The moment Miss Taylor appeared
on the stage the audience began to
applaud, hundreds in the audience ris-
ing, waving their handkerchiefs and
programs and shouting Bravo" Miss
Taylor appeared to be almost overcome,
but quickly recovered her composure.
Whenever there was the least oppor-
tunitv for applause the audience seized

During the interval persons in the
audience moved about as if at pub

 I've been over roads where 1t took 16 horses to pull one wagon" says MT. Urbanec, "and my Maxwell always came through without help. I've driven it S,100 miles over these bad roads since June and my repair expense has been only $S.50.
