Campaign Forums Begun
BY Republican Women

Republican women opened campaign
headquarters at the Hotel Vanderbilt
yesterday afternoon with the first of q
series on Monday forums. George L.
Glynn, state chairman Of the Repub-
lican party, congratulated Mrs. Arthur
l.. Livermore, chairman of the women 8
executive committee, on the activity Of
her committee.
"ln previous campaigns we elected
our candidate in the last week before
election" he said. "But with the su-
perior sense Of order inherent in the
woman voter, we find that the cam
paign is planned, literature printed,
headquarters engaged, and we are we'll
on in the campaign six months before
Election Day"
Miss Agnes C.. Laut, a magazine
writer, informed the women that inf1a-
ton of the currency was the cause of
the high cost of living, and only by the
election of business men in Washing
ton could the social unrest be quieted.
"Sixteen million women who are in
terested in the high cost of milk and
eggs and thirty million farmers who
are concerned with the production of
food are going to determine this cleo
tion," she said. awe must arrive at
scientific system of food distribu-
ton, or there will be riot and blood
shed in this country. Farmers get five
cents quart for the milk you pay
eighteen cents for. Eastern farmers
let their apples rot on the trees, for it
costs more to ship apples from up state
into New York City than to send them
from Oregon"

1000 Apartments
Vacated in CHICAGO

CHICAGO, May 3.-More than 1000
vacant apartments were thrown on the
market over the weekend, and real es-
tote dealers are in a quandary as
result.
Hundreds of families whose rentals
had been raised moved out May l with
out warming. Rents have advanced in
manw cases from so to 800 per cent,
the agents pleading the law of supply
and demand justined the increases.
Real estate agents estimate that
10000 families who had received notice
to move May l, refused to do so, de-
flying the landlords because they could
find no place to move.
The unexpected vacating of more
landlords in doubt. Many families
doubled up, two to an apartment, and
others moved to hotels rather than pay
increased rentals.

Ship Bill, Fixing Lowest
Sale Price, Completed
Senate Commerce Committee
Will Report the Amended
Measure To-day

From The Tribxnss Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Senate
Committee on. Commerce to-day COM
pleted the draft Of the merchant marine
bill and will report it to the Senate to-
morrow. The bill, as changed by the
full Commerce Committee, fixes mini
mum price at which the government
ships can be sold to private interests.
The principal changes made in the
bin are: In disposing of ships the Ship
ping Board is prohibited from accept
ing a price less than would be required
to build a vessel of similar type in a
privately owned American shipyard at
the time of such sale, usual allowance
being permitted for depreciation.
The board may sell to aliens only "if
unable to sell to American citizens
after diligent effort to do So" and Is
permitted only to sell to aliens vessels
up to 5000 lightweight tons or more
than ten years old.
Members of the Shipping Board are
forbidden to be officially connected with
private shipping enterprises during
their tenure Of Office, or to acquire
stocks or become otherwise financially
interested.
The Shipping Board construction
fund, unlimited by the sub committee,
is limited to s50,000,000 for five years
by the committee amendment This linn
itation would prevent further construc-
ton after five years.
g Persons selling ships built prior to
January l, 1914, are exempted from the
income taxes which would be assessed
against such sales, provided the pro-
ceeds are reinvested in construction of
ships under approval of the Shipping
Board.

from several score of tenants. Mr..
Plat said he had not determined
whether he would resort to another
court.
Eighteen tenants of s35 East 18th
Street, the Bronx, are to be evicted
to-day by City Marshal Jacob Cash.
Mr.. Cash said he would take a dozen
policemen to help him. According to
the marshal the tenants have organ
lied soviet to resist paying.
Abraham Weinstock, the owner, com
planned to the Mayors committee on
rent profiteering that he had received
no rent for the last three months.
Twenty families, tenants of an apart
ment house at 1910 Park Place. Brook
Ign, were evictcd yesterday afternoon
by City Marshal David Goldberg be-
cause they had refused to pay an in
crease in rent since February, when
they declared rent strike. The mar
shall and his assistants were stoned
and were in danger of bodily harm
until the police arrived.
Tenants Stone Marshal
Previous to February, it was said
the rents in the apartments had been
from $21 to S25. After February, thew
were advanced to from 500 to sci,
which the tenants deemed exorbitant.
After the families We're evicted, they
congregated in a vacant lot across the
street, from which they hurled epithets
and stones at the marshal and his as
slstants. The owners of the house made
an inspection following the eviction.
and found that bells and wires had
been ripped out, ceilings pulled down
and walls mutilated.
The efforts of landlord to eyict
tenants at 1909 and 1415 East New
York Avenue, Brooklyn, after The ten
ants had agreed to a 25 per cent in
crease in their rent, were frustrated
yesterday by Justice Strahl in the
18th District Municipal Court. The
court stayed the eviction for one wear
and decided that 10 per cent increase

the motto of rent bureau" opened
as an experiment yesterday by Charles
B. Mclaughlin, Assistant District A.
torney of the Bronx. 8. The bureaus
headquarters are located at fremont
and Arthur Avenues. A staff of clerks
conversant with the provisions of the
new rent laws, will be on hand night
and day to induce landlords and ten
ants to settle their differences without
resorting to legal proceedings.
1.-THE advantage of the bureau to the
county will be to keep the courts free
of thousands of cases which can lust
as easily be settled out of court" said
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-05-04

Mr.. Mclaughlin yesterday. "Since the
new rent laws we're enacted tenants
seem to feel that they should take any
grievance they might have into court
The new laws are beneficial but their
purpose is not to create litigation by
the Wholesale but rather to induce
landlords and tenants to get together
in a friendly way. Our bureau is in.
tended to bring them together.
"Our bureau will not take sides
either for or against the landlords.
Within week we expect to have
enough experience to determine whether
the experiment might not be adopted
in other boroughs."
Elections on account Of the refusal
Of tenants to pay increases in rent the
first week in May, have not been as
numerous as the Mayors Committee on
Prohteering expected.
There seems to be general dis
position of tenants and landlords to be-
j. w. Hilly, chairman Of the committee,
yesterday "While some fragrant in
stances of rent profiteering still come
to light, widespread profiteering has
ceased in great measure. The landlords
have learned where they stand under
the new laws. OF course there are still
some stubborn tenants who look upon
any increase as profiteering."
The committees rooms on the twelfth
floor of the Municipal Building continue
to be crowded daily with complaining
tenants and landlords. These are mostly
cases of tenants who appear in groups
to protest against increases spread over
an entire building.
Leo Kenneth Mayer counsel for the
committee, yesterday learned that
twenty seven marshals during the last
week had been called upon to issue
only 1872 summonses for elections.

Americanizing legislation has been
dealt with:
"The study Of the subject which has

Salsedo will tell as much as he could
have told
On the fourteenth floor Of the Park
Row Building where temporary quar-
ters had been arranged for holding
secretly the prisoners charged with
taking part in the Red outbreaks, it
was said yeste rday afternoon. that Sal
sedo had not conhded in any Of the
prisoners held with him, and it was
added that his high spirits had caused
his fellow prisoners to believe he did
not fear the outcome Of his case. He
whistled constantly in his little room
overlooking the busy street fourteen
stories below, they said, and he went
so quietly about the work Of preparing
to leap to his death that not even those
in the rooms next to him knew that
he had risen.
Extra guards were placed on the
and none of the prisoners was given
permission to talk concerning his part
in the bomb outrages.
1t was said that Salsedo had ex-
pressed the belief shortly after his ar
rest and confession in March that he
would be killed by persons whose
names he had mentioned in his ac-
count of the bomb plots. He had even
told some Of his fellow prisoners, it
was said, that he did not feel afraid
however, because he believed he had
done what was right and was ready to
die.
Was Locked Up Since March Z
After the men were arrested and had
talked at length with government off,
Gals under Chief Flynn, they expressed
the desire to be held in the rooms ad-
joining those of the investigation bu-
reau Of the Department of Justice, in
the Park Row Building. Here they
were kept, in a half dozen small rooms
the beds of which faced the street
Salsedo's room was next to one of
the Offices Of the Department of JUS
since March 7, with only time enough
out of doors to exercise. On those
occasions, it was said, the prisoners
were taken out by agents of the de-
partment and were allowed to walk,
unrecognized as prisoners.
In the small rooms were wash stands,
reading tables, small dining tables and
beds, and guards were stationed
through the Railways.
1t had been known that Department.
of Justice agents had held prisoners
and suspected persons in these apart
ments as long one or two days, but
it was revelation that these Federal
prisoners had been kept within sight
and hearing distance of the throngs
that pass there each day for so long
without the fact having become known.

ENROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
cox, WEIsER, Idaho, Sept, IA
Governor James NJ Cox. Democratic
presidential nominee started in to-
day breaking his Doctors rules warn
ing against outdoor speaking be-
cause of the throat affection which
has been acute during the last three
days. He yielded to the demands of
crowds which gathered round the
rear platform and made brief
speeches at Baker, Huntington and
Ontario, Ore. just before he crossed
the state line into Idaho enroute to
Boise, where he will deliver a set
speech tonight. The throat special
list who is accompanying him pro-
tested vigorously when the governor
hatless and without an overcoat, al
tho the weather was damp and chilly
went to the rear platform to greet
the crowds. The rapid improvement
in his voice during the last twenty
five hours, however, gave the candi-
date absolute confidence.
"My throat went back on me for
minute" he told the crowds "but it's
all right now and am going to
spare myself in carrying a message
to the people,"
Governor Cox's invasion of today
took on special significance because
it is the home state of Senator Will
lam E. Borah, leader of the irrecon-
cilable group in the senate fight
against the group.

league of nations within, as national
politicians put 1t in the very shadow
of Senator Borah's front porch, IL
being keenly watched in this section
of the country.
Governor Cox has great personal
admiration for Senator Borah and is
making no secret of it. He believes
that Borah is absolutely sincere in
his opposition to the treaty and not
playing politics as he accuses other
Republicans of doing with regard to
it.
| like man who takes a position
whether he be right or wrong, the
governor said.
Senator Borah, for one, has not
taken eight different stands on the
treaty, as my Republican opponent
his colleague in the senate has done. :"
Governor Cox in his speeches to-
day expected to tell the miners of
Idaho of his record in Ohio in OBJ
tanning mine legislation which he re-
CARDS as progressive. He also will
explain his application of the golden
rule as a substitute for the hayonet
in the settlement of industrial dis
putes.
The firm stand for extension of
reclamation and irrigation in the
west which Governor Cox has en-
phasized in his recent speeches will
also be one of the important themes
of his Idaho addresses.
In addition to the main sreech at
Boise tonight the governo. was
scheduled to make shorter addresses
here at Payette, Nampa and Poca-
tello and the state committee is anxi-
Gus to add other speeches.
The governor has been invited to
take flight by airplane over the
arrow rock reclamation project dam
at Boise and is eager to accept His
advisers are advising him against it.

The attorney general indicated
very strongly, however, that general
amnesty is not possible at this time.
He stated that he believed that many
of the war time restrictions should be
repealed, but pointed out that there
are but 10 political prisoners now
and discrimination had been used In

above law, said report comprising the months of January, February and March
 According 10 the reports received by me, there are at present 4s5 employers engaged in business who are operat- ing under the compensation law. Of this number, approximately twenty three are carrying their own insurance, most of these being the large steel and iron industries in the Brmi ham dis trict.
 From information furnished to me by the compensation rating and inspec- tion bureau, there are at present twenty-seven companies engaged in the business of writing compensation in surance in Alabama. three of this mum Der being reciprocal companies.
 In regard to the rates charged by the insurance companies, there is no way of making a comparison as yet with the rates of the other states. in aSmuch as sufficient time has not elapsed for the insurance companies to arrive at table of experience. The in surance commissioner of the state, when he deems it expedent, will fur nish me with such information in re- gard to rates as will enable me to make an intelligent comparison Of the rates charged in other compensation states as called for by the next legis- lative body.
 From all indications, the law seems to be working smoothly and there have been no criticisms or complaints with the exception of the fact that the wait ing period of two weeks is too long, and not consistent with the real ob- ject of the law. In most of the com pensation states this waiting period has been shortened to one week. and this cutting of the waiting period to one week has not developed any tendency towards malingering.
 The forms as prepared by the late pr. Owen have proven most satisfac- tory in every particular, and insurance companies, as well as employers con cur in the opinion that they greatly facilitate the working of the law Also the legal form prepared by Chief Jus tice Anderson meets fully the require ments of the law.
 will endeavor to outline to you as briefly as possible a statistical report as follows:

 died January g, 1920 For number or
 years it has been MT Elliotts custom to honor his father with reunion of his comrades of the Cos on his birthday, and on this occasion he honored his father
 memory by inviting the Hale county vet erans and other friends, the guests num- being about seventy-five.
 The feast was spread on the lawn. and 6 spread" it was, which reminded thc company of rye olden times Every
 thing that can be imagined was served
 in the most elegant manner.
 As a finale to the delightful dinner MT.

has been a total of approximately $33,210 for compensation paid thus far This does not include medical or hos pital expenditures. The law does not require that medical or hospital ex- penditures be included in the report to the legislature, but it is my intention to do so. as we'll as all other informa- = ton which will be of value to the leg islature in determining Just how thor oughly the law has operated. There have been great many compensation cases on which I have had no report of settlement. which I attribute to un- familiarity with the law and which am at present following up with the intention of securing the necessary data.
 There have been forty-five fatal ac- cidents and of. this number thirty-one of the employees left dependents. The employers have not reported to me as yet what settlements or agreements have been reached, but this informa- tion will be secured in due course. There have been only two cases re- ported to me where a settlement in the circuit courts was necessary, and both of these cases seem to have been set tied to the satisfaction of all parties
 I trust that the above will prove of interest to you, and that you may gain some idea as to how the law is operat ing. Respectfully submitted,
