NOTICE T0VACATE
NO BAR TO PAYING

The fact that notice to vacate has
been served on a tenant occupying
property desired by the owner for his
personal use and occupancy is no bar
during occupancy. the District rent

service of notice to vacate.

vious dates, as we'll as the regular

tire day being given over to hearings.

Five Cases Decided.

an apartment in the Astoria apart
ment building.
The commission also decided that

Mrs: George F. Cook, for possession
of 1903 Perry place northwest, and

sufficient.
The commission denied the COM
plant Of John b. Jones against Boss &
Phelps. agents, alleging excessive rent

SOUTHERN R. R NOT
TO ACCEPT RETURN
FIXED BY NEWLAW
]. c. c. Also Learns That
Other Roads Will Not Need
''Guarantee."

Coincident with announcement to-
day by President Fairfax Harrison of
the Southern railroad that The South
ern has decided, through its board Of
| directors. not to accept the govern
ment standard return" for a period
OF six months from March 1, as pro-
vided in the new railroad law. it was
learned at the Interstate Commerce
Commission that other roads are pre-
| parlng declarations making the same
decision.
1t was learned today that a number
| OF roads constituting the sc-called
class l group under the Railroad Ad-
mlnlstratfon are preparing to inform
the Interstate Commerce Commission
they can exist on the revenues accru-
ing TO them from operation without
the standard return" guaranteed.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Is preparing list of the roads that
VIII accept the guaranteed return.

three days. 1t is understood the
Cnlon Pacific and other roads in the
west and northwest have decided to
forego the government guarantee.
which under the terms of the trans
portation act compels them to turn
over their profits above the guaranty
into sinking fund to be used for the
nnanclal relief of the poorer roads.
Urged to Practice ECONOMY.
President Harrison of the Southern
railroad. in announcing the decision Of
the board Of directors of the Southern
TO reject the government guarantee,
urged all employees of the road to prac-
tlce economy and in effect to show
that the road can exist and make
Profits without a federal guarantee.
The decision Of the board was reached.
1T was announced today. after President
Harrison had made a trip through the
south and had come to the conclusion
that continued prosperity would permit
the road to carry on its business with
out subsidy
The decision also applies to the Gin
cinnati. New Orleans and Texas Pa
cif1c; the Alabama Freat Southern and
the New Orleans and Northwestern
railroad companies. subsidiaries of |
the southern railroad. |
Had the Southern railway system
qualified for the guarantee its net
income under the terms of the trans |

the next six months. IT. would have

The Pennsylvania. Erie and Ralti-
more and Ohio among the eastern !
roads will accept the government |
guarantee. it was understood today. !;
indicating that they are not sure Of !
return above s per cent on their |
valuation.
Mr.. Harrison in an Office memoran-
dunn addressed to officials Of the
road in Washington reiterated his |
belief that the prosperity Of the ter
ritory through which the Southern
railroad passes indicates ability of |
the road to surpass the guarantee.

ton Are DISPOSED Of.

Only about 5000 parcels of real

hood Of 5000 parcels were on the

ing $165.000.

large pieces Of property. which nd
the best return to those who buy at

PRAISE BOARD OF TRADE
DAYLIGHT SAVING EFFORT

Many letters praising the Board Of
Trade for it's efforts to have the day
light saving law continued in the Dis
trict were received today from In
terested persons. These letters prob
ably will be read at a mass meeting
to be held in the District building
Friday night of business men and
chiefs of government bureaus. who
will make plans to have the daylight
saving law continued in Washington.
Most OF Washington's business men
have indorsed Senator Henderson's bill
for daylight saving, but it is believed
generally that action on this measure
will be deferred by Congress so as to
delay its operation this summer. 1t is
the hope of the business men to have
arrangements made to open and close
their stores an hour earlier during
the summer, so as to have the same
advantages of daylight saving law

BEST MAN TURNED
OUT IN OLD WORLD.
Carpenter IS a master OF boxing
science, a lightning like puncher and
one of the quickest thinkers the ring
has ever known. He Is by far the
most colorful fighter who has ever
been developed in the old world, and
he is entitled 10 a generous portion
Of consideration as a prospective op-
ponent for the present champion.
Boxing is a subtle art" he said
recently Individuality plays a ire
mendous part in the game Of the ring.
and, other things being equal. II is
the boxer with the most perfect
method who wins, barring the ele-
ment Of luck"
He explained that he has studied
the finer points Of three distinct
schools OF bo1ing-EnElish. French
and American-aud. by combining
the finer points he succeeded in max
ing himself Europe's champion boxer.
He does not seem 70 consider that
he viii be greatly handicapped by
Dempsey's superior weight and reach
In short, he believes that he can de-
feat any one he can hit and he feels
confident that he can hit any fighter
who rushes him.
The fact that he was beaten
by Billy Papke and Frank klaus
eight years ago, or that his rec
ord bears the unFelcome ~L- in
connection with his bout with
Joe Jeanette. the giant negro.

Those who were at the riugslde
when he met Gunboat Smith In Lon
don in 1914 and won from the Cali
fornian on a foul in the sixth round
recorded that Georges had all the
better Of the massive heavy hitting
"Gooner" when the bout came TO a
sudden end. And II may be Wen TO
paste a note in your hat TO the ef-
feet that Wnen he boxed the great
Jeanette really wonderful, mas
sive and powerful boxer-he was
learning the fine points OF the game
in the hard school of experience.
That Carpenter profited by his hard
earned experience he has proved con-
clusively by coming back 10 the ring
a more brilliant and harder hitting
boxer than the one who left London
after meeting Smith in 1914 in
answer 20 the call Of his country,
and spent more than four years in
the French army.
