 STRUGGLES WITH
 HOME SHORTAGE
Rent Payers Form League And Refuse to Stand For
 Another Raise.

Boston, April Z3>-3Eassac4zsz5o&6h has not yet been able to make up 15P its shortxze of homes and keep rents Nrorn saey-roo&z eting. A state Conmis- sion on the Necesaries Of life is struggling with the problem but elsewhere have obtained little relief, Several tenant groups recently refused to pay advances in rent demanded of them and by joint action avoided eviction which would have been legal upon so days notice,
 Two hundred tenants at Revere have fozzIred a corporation known as the Tenants League to combat rent increases and have announced that they wiH tolerate no mora advances in rent and requested aid from the city's local department The issue there is still in dosalDt-
 An attempt to solve the problem by arbitration has been made in Brock ton, q shoe misunderstanding center A board composed of two tenants, two landlords and a fifth member to be selected by the others is to decide whether rents have been unduly ad vanced when disputes arise between landlords and tenants
 The Commission on the Necessaries of fife has investigated the housing and rent problem and has contributed a number of Sugg eSdOnS for the1T So- lution but as yet has made no formal report It has urged the cities to form housing corporations and take over and improve abandoned tenem ents by vyorlkinsmen who had moved to better ones. The Commission found there were 3,Oo0 teneme ents which were un- occupied becaISe the landlords would not remodel them so as to make them fit for occupation.
 At the suggestion of the Con7miSs sion a bill has Seen introduced into hhe legisaature that would limit the return from investments in dwelling housse to eight per cent The pur pose of tt is to prevent speculation in homes. The commissioners found that many builders had stopped con struction because of the high cost of labor and materials and had gone to specuIatins in reai estate The result was that frequent sales of property were followed by advaDces in rent In many cases tenants wore forced out of their homes so thak the land lords might demand higher rates from new occupants Massachusetts, cor porations have attempted to relieve inc housing shortage by erecting com munity houses Whole villages of at tracfive houses are being erected Tn New Bedford Lawrence, IoweI and other mill cities, and will be rented or sold to employees on easy terms.

EXPECT ACTION
 ON SUFFRAGE IN
 NORTH CAROLINA

Raleigh, N c, April 23-Act1on of the Democratic state convention re- cently in adopting a platform plank for ratification of the woman suffrage amendment will be followed by d special session of the legislature abou! July 1.
 LouIsiana is the only state to have Suffrage leaders say no matter what action is taken in Louisiana it will have no effect on the fight for ratif1ca- tion in North Carolina
 If Louisiana were to act favorabt5 it would make the th1rty-sixth state but on account of some uncertainty over the ratification in Ohio 1egisIa- ture, because of a referendum in- volved, suffrage advocates are anxi- ous to have s7 states ratify the amendment
 Opinion is divided here as to what action the North Carolina 1egisla- ture will take. In view of the fact that both political organizations in , the state have adopted platforms in- cluding blanks favoring suffrage, i many party leaders believe the am endrI4ent will be ratified. Besides Governor Bickett, many Democratic party leaders in the state have come out for the amendment, including Sec Tetary Daniels, Senator Simmons and Congressman Hoey. The legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic.
 Opponents of suffrage believe the amendment will either be defeated in the legislature or by the voters of the state They think the legislature will follow Senator Overman's idea and propose a state constitutional amendment giving women the vote thus putting the suffrage question up 1o the voters, who, they believe, will reject it.

GUN BY DEAD BRIDES SIDE
Mrs Roy Kennedy. IS, Found Dead at
3O1 Waite Street.

Mrs. Roy Kennedy, IS. was found
dead in a closet at her home, 3O1
Waite street, at $40 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon with a bullet hole thru
her neck. A revolver was found by
her side by Mrs. Ray McMillen, who
lives in the same house and who heard
the shot and hurried to Mrs. Ken
nedy's apartments.
Dr.. o. F. Narcotic. county coroner,
stated today that it was uncertain
whether Mrs. Kennedy accidentally
shot herself or committed suicide. She
had been married only two months.
The husband. an employe of the
Santa Fe shops, said that the gun was
not loaded when he last saw it Tues
day morning. The same day Mrs.
Kennedy is said to have told Mrs. Nc
Millen she was afraid of burglars and
did not wish to remain in the house
alone. Doctor Narcotic was inclined
to believe that Mrs. Kennedy loaded
the gun the same day and that 1t was
accidentally discharged while she was
in the closet last night Neighbors
told roctor Narcotic that Mrs. Ken
nedy had been melancholy for some
time.
The shot entered Mrs. Kennedy's
neck and came out on the left side of
her head. Powder burns on her neck
indicated the muZzle of the gun was
but a few inches away when the gun
was discharged
