Germany would indicate that Gustav
Noske, minister of defense in the old

the new regime.
Even in Hamburg the old government
is said to have taken control of stra.
tegic points and the Hamburg senate
has issued proclamation denoancing
the new government and asserting its
intention to retain control in that state.
Men who are directing the policies
Of the government, aided by Or. Kapp:
have not yet secured political support.
Strike orders were issued yesterday

will come when working men walk out.

Decides Rent Laws
Are Not Retroactive
Having Paid Months Rent,
Tenant Must Meet 90 Per
Cent Rate Increase

Justice 0. Grant Esterbrook has de-
cided in the 4th District Municipal
Court, Brooklyn, that the s55 rent de-
manded of John Janson for an apart
ment at 765 Park Place, Brooklyn,
owned by the F. A. L. Realty Corpora
ton, was reasonable and must be paid,
inasmuch as Janson had paid it for one
month. Janson had declined to pay
1t the second month because ne dis
covered that 1t constituted an advance
of nearly go per cent over the rate
paid for the apartment a year before.
Justice Easterbrook ruled Thursday
that the rent laws were not retroactive
and that having paid the S55 once
Janson must continue. His decision
was contrary TO one made by Justice
Strahl in the same court concerning a
rent DISPUTE in the same building. In
that case also the rent demanded was
$50, and the tenant, Frank F. Eich-.
bauer, had paid it for one month when
he found out that $685. would be an
advance of 90 per cent over the 500
rate paid for the apartment year be-
fore. Justice Strahl decided that S3625
was all that Eichbauer ought to pay
Other tenants who have been in the
house since January had been paying
so under compromise agreement
with the landlord. but have been sum-
moned to court BY the landlord be-
cause since the Eichbauer decision
they have refused to pay S44.
