Senate Committee Investigates
Charges That Cox Helped Se--.

Letters Sent to Democratic .,
PoStmaSters.
fRv Associated Press \

Washington, Sept discharges that
Governor Cox urged draft exemption
for one of the two sons of E. c. Scripps,
head of a chain of newspapers, and
that government employees went to San
Francisco at public expense at the
time of the Democratic national con-
vention there were inquired into today
by the senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures.
Robert P. Scripps, one of the two
brothers mentioned in the draft ex-
emption charges, told the committee
that beyond recently published reports
he knew nothing of any interest shown
by Governor Cox in behalf of himself
or his brother during operation of the
draft.
The interest shown by himself. as
editor of twenty one Scripps news
papers, and by his family, in bringing
about Governor Cox's election, he said,
was purely public interest.
The inquiry into alleged travel at
government expense of federal emp
ployes to San Francisco will be pur-
sued by the committee on the basis of
the information received today, the
committee calling for records from the
department of justice and agriculture
to show what employees had gone to
the Pacific coast city about the time
of the Democratic convention and had
their expenses paid by the govern
ment. Several vouchers showing such
trips were examiner in detail at to-
days session and Chairman Kenyon in
dicated that all departments of the
government might be called upon for
information of this character
"Do you know of any trips by Of
ficials of other departments, the navy,
for instance?" the chairman asked Don
G. Fees, an employe of the department
of justice, who had presented vouchers
of Frank K. Nebeker and r. P. Stew
art, assistant attorney generals, E. ].
Hoover, assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, and George NJ. Montrose. an ex-
aminer of titles, whose expense ac
counts showed he had travelled with
the attorney general"
Fees was directed to supply by Sat
urday morning a list of all employees
of the department of justice who had
turned in vouchers covering trips to
San Francisco during the convention
period and also any vouchers submit

Laws to Stop Landlords Trick
cry Into Effect.
WILL STOP "SLUSH SALES"
Big Legal Sttaff Employed to
Handle Cases.
Over 5000 Complaints Per
Week Are Received.

New York, July 1.-THE new state
rent laws are in effect and have. not
deferred profiteering landlords from
continuing rent gouging assaults on
thousands of tenants in New York
City, according to Leo Kenneth Mayer,
chief counsel for the mayors commit
tee on rent profiteering.
The landlords are adopting divers
methods to circumvent the new laws,
Mr. Mayer declared. and have been
successful to a certain extent.
The three chief lodges employed by
the landlords as outlined by Counsel
Mayer are to:
Notify tenants that their leases will not
be renewed unless they willing to pay
exorbitant rentals. If they refuse to meet
by due process of the law.
Notify tenants that the premises have been
sold on the cooperative plan but offer to
sell them the apartment, if they will nay
the exorbitant sum asked.
Show higher valuation on their prop
alleged sales and thus be able TO extract
a higher rental.
Make 'SIush Sales"
The first method, according to Mr..
Maher, is the most popular but is
rather slow as it takes from one
month to one year to legally evict a
tenant
The cooperative selling plan, he
declared, was one of the new inven-
tions of the landlords to exploit The
tenant.
The transferring of property on the
pretense of making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation of
the premises is one of the latest
lodges. Mr.. Mayer explained. By This
method the landlord sells to a rela-
tive or business partner, then buys
the property back again and thus runs
up the valuation, which will command
higher rental under the state laws.
To Protect Renters.
The entire legal staff of the rent
committee has been placed at the dis
posaI of tenants in their fight against
the rent profiteer. Landlords who
are inclined to be fair are meeting
their tenants in the offices of the
committee and are arranging new
leases with their tenants on definite
terms.
The rent committee which has been
in operation for fifteen months has
handled more than $4,000 cases, of
which 1000 have been settled in and
out of court. OF the remaining cases,
5000 are listed as hopeless and no
settlement is possible.
There is a constant flood of COM
plants into the committees office,
/ which is visited by about 5000 tenants
every week. e=.-.-p.
Tho committees office staff OF
seven, according to Mr.. Mayer, han
dies more than 1000 complaints by
telephone calls.
The committee which is maintained
as a municipal department is making
| an investigation of these claims and
| furnishing legal talent free of charge
| to all worthy cases.
