STATEMENT BY DR..
RICHARD MACKENZIE
Concerning the Notice He Re
ccived to Vacate His Apart
ments on Jefferson Street.

In statement made to an Every Even
ing reporter, DR. Richard Mackenzie, SIC
retary Of the State Board of Charities,
denies the statement that the apartment
house at COG Jefferson street docs not ban
children. DIR. Mackenzie has been given
notice to move since Mrs. Mackenzie gave
birth 10 a son last week. Early this week
Every Evening printed story giving
Mr.. and Mrs. T. l.. Husbands, the owncrs,
aide of the case, in which it WAS stated
that the reason for the Mackcnsics being
warned out WAS not because of the arrival
of baby.
II want 10 correct wrong impression
that has gotten out, said DIR. Mackenzie
TODAY, that there WAS no ban on children
AZ the apartment house. In the lease
which | have for my apartment, there is
a clause stating that no young children
shall be permitted in the apartments.
MANY months ago, when person told
the landlord that Airs Mackenzie was
expecting 20 become a mother, the state
ment WAS made, | am informed, that If
that was the case we should have 10 move.
| have also been told by another tenant
that when their lease for the apartment
came to them it had written INTO 1t n
clause that forbade any babies in the apart
ments.
II am not seeking any publicity in the
matter. but do want the public to know,
now. because stories of my having 10 move
from the apartment have been printed,
the true facts of the case.
Mrs. Husbands says the arrival Of the
baby WAS not the reason FOR the notice 90
move, and that when tho notice WAS given
she or her husband did not know of the
baby. She denies having heard of the
baby's expected arrival and also denies
telling some one that if such was the case
the Mackenzie's would have to move.
Mrs. Husbands says the lease does bar
young children, but that WAS certainly
understood when it was signed. She de-
MED, however, forcing tenants out be-
cause of the birth of babies.

Leading Bankers Discuss Ways
And Means of Financing Railroads

Railroads generally must get
money for necessary equipment from
the government, because they can't
get 1t from the banks, Jerome ].
Hanauer of Kuhn Loeb and Com
pany yesterday told the Senate In
terstate Comerce Committee, Han
auer was the first of a number of
bankers to testify concerning the
railroad financial situation.
There is not much hope" said
Hanauer. that the railroads can
get from the banks this year the
$610,00O,O0O they need at once for
equipment. The only market now
left is among small investors, whom
it takes long time to reach, and
who want long term securities at
high interests"
Hanauer declared that many rail-
roads could finance themselves by
selling equipment securities to the
small investors, but added that a
much larger number of roads could
not so finance themselves, because
Of the poor credit.
Hanauer suggested two ways Of
helping the railroads:
l. See whether by extension of
terminals. revision of loading rules
and other devices, better use can be
made of existing equipment
2. Amend the railroad act So that
the railroads can use the $500, ,0O0. 900
revolving fund for a 15-year period
for buying equipment. instead of
hve years as now, and then give an
ADDITIONAL appropriation to supple
ment the revolving fund. Railroad
executives yesterday told the COM
mittee this additional appropriation
should be s50o.ooo.ooO.
Frederick w. Allen, of Lee Hig-
ginson & Company also told the
committee that the income tax has
eliminated the investing class in
this country, as It existed before the
war;. He added "the public gener-
ally' with more money than ever be-
fore. Is not investing but Is spend
ing Its money on all conceivable
1. Davies warneld, Baltimore, rep
resenting railroad securities own
ers. urged the Senate committee to
do nothing until the Interstate
Commerce Commission has ascer-
tained what railroads need money:
how much they need and what for.
The commission is now engaged in
determining this.
Charles e. Mitchell. president of
the National City Company, New
York. said that s'we've pretty near
ly reached the roof" OF the coun-
try's credit structure because of in
hation and increased costs of labor,
material. etc. He agreed with the
other witnesses that "the tax, laws
have closed to investment bankers

MEXICAN MIDDLE
Huerta President Pro Tenn.
Villa Belligerent
Chaotic Mess

That president Carranza was
foully assasslnated by traitors in
his camp is a pretty clearly es-
tablished fact tho some are trying
to make it appear that he CON-
mitted suicide rather than be
captured. He was nearly clear
of danger in the southern part
of Mexico when he was shot thru
his tent, six bullets striking him.
Adolfo de la Huerta was named
president pro TEN by the extra.
ordinary session of congress'Mon-
day. Gen. Obregon, head of
military affairs, STAYED off the
general election from July to
September and if he can squelch
opposition, will undoubtedly be
elected and live a short time
thereafter. Gen. Francisco Villa
has declared war on the new
regime, being dissatisfied with
the terms offered him by Gen.
Obregon. Villa will be wounded,
taken prisoner and annihilated
again by enemies, perhaps as
often as during the past five
years but be on hand to celebrate
the assassination of several more
presidents. Intervention by some
country, resurrection of Porfic
Diaz or leaving the greasers to
eradicate each ether seems to be
the only solution of the question
of peace pro tenn in that -beauti'
full part of the hemisphere,
