New York Rent Law
Under Fire at q. S.
Housing Conclave
Legislation Is Attacked by
Real Estate Operators and
Defended by Lawyers:
Conditions Are Discussed
Special Dispatch to The Tri5a,l~


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 9.-Thc
rent laws and the housing situation in
New York were almost the only topics
discussed at the opening session OF
the National Housing Conference to-day
under the Craftsmanship Of D. Farchild
Wheeler, president Of the Bridgeport
Chamber of Commerce. New York
lawyers and New York real estate
brokers were the speakers
Harold G. Aron defended the New
York rent laws. He called for legal
restraints by the state upon the rela-
tions of landlord and tenant, and com
nended the New York York and New
Jersey legislatures policy OF allowing
exemptions of taxes on home building,
under certain conditions.
L. G. Sammis, counsel for the Hous-
ing Committee Of the New York Legis-
lature, also defended the New York
rent laws as the thing needed to pro-
tect the tenant against speculator
landlords. He said
"lf the government is 50 important
that it cannot afford relief when one
class demanded shelter and another
class denied that shelter except at an
exorbitant charge, then the government
is indeed farce
Edward p Doyle of the Real Estate
Board of New York declared that the
New York law ocnfiscated private
property, encouraged Socialists and
anarchists to take advantage of the
thrift Of men who had spent years ac-
cumulating money with which to build
homes, and said the New York laws
made it impossible to build houses at
a figure where a workingman could
afford to buy them or rent them
D. C. McNulty, counsel for the New
York Real Estate Board asserted that
the New York rent laws were poorly
administered. There were as MANY
opinions as there were judges, he said.
He blamed the "yellow press" Of New
York City for the calling Of the spe-
cial September session of the New
York Legislature, and insisted that
there was no need whatever for that
special session.

has been granted a sick leave. so that
a broken hind leg, received In the per-
Torrance of duty, may mend.
Bum was led into the station by
Policeman Becker. He refused TO al

The DsaadIQ Sex.

Woman has gained many vic
tories for tie emancipation OF
her sex during the last .fewsyears
along with hard earned and well
deserved triumphs she has anne
xed certain special privileges.
Not the least of these is the
right to commit murder as es-
tablished by many juries under
all sorts of circum stances recent
ly. Public prosecutors have come
to regard as the bane of the r
existence the duty of placing a
on trial for the killing OF a mere
man. Chicago has several dozen
cases of this kind and every one
has ended in scquittal. Every
state has had similar instances
and it has been pretty we'll es-
tablished that juries prefer the
unsupported word of a woman to
bales of contrary te stimony every
time. 1t is best if the defendant
be pretty, but even this is no
