In DISFAVOR
WITH REVENUE BUREAU

Information has reached the
Bureau of Internal Revenue that GER
tain amusement parks and other
places to which taxable admissions
are charged are using. in lieu OF
tickets or cards Of admissions, auto
matte turnstiles, and other mechan-
ical devices which register the num-
ber of persons admitted, or the
amount paid for admission. This
practice does not conform to the
regulations governing the collection
Of the admission tax, which specif-
ically require the use of tickets ex-
cept in the case of persons and
organizations charging for admission
irregularly and occasionally, and not
more than four times a year. Fail
ure to comply with the regulations
renders the responsible person liable
to a penalty of not more than $1,000.
Collectors and other internal rev
enue officers have been directed to
take necessary action to insure COM
pliance with the regulations.

ONE-ARMED JOHNS
In TOWN, BUT NO
One KNOWS

Former Governor John LIND or
Minnesota, "One-armed John, as ne
Is known politically. is a mysterious
visitor In Washington. So secret is
his business here that the Demo-
cratic national committee doesnl
even know he's in town.
Governor Lind hasn't had mueh 10
say about politics since President
Wilson sent him on a certain wild
goose chase" TO Mexico, back In
1918. Whatever are his reasons Tor
being here. he says they are pri-
vate." Republican politicians think
otherwise.
The former Minnesota governor
is one OF the picturesque characters
OF the Northwest. First he was
Republican Congressman from the
Second district. This was from
1887 10 1893. Then came the sill
yer question. and he became just as
ardent n Democrat. He was elected
Democratic governor in 1898, being
defeated for reelection. The next
time he went to Congress II was as
a Democrat, In 1908. He served only
one term.
President Wilson appointed him
his envoy and personal representa-
tive TO Mexico. August 3, 1913. Since
then Governor Lind has been a per-
manent seeker for nominations to
the Senate, without success.

EV|CT.|ONDEC|S|ON|S IS
AGAINST OWNERS
Illegal to Put Out Tenants With
Aim of Re-rentIng at Higher
Price, Says Board.

The District Rent Commission this
morning ruled 1t was unlawful for
landlords to evict tenants for the pur-
pose of re-renting their property at
higher figure.
The commi ssion intimated such a
practice was common in cases where
the commission set rents which land
lords declared were too low. Unfor-
tunately the commission is powerless
to enforce it's decisions in this re
spect, but a warning was issued that
prosecutions for violations will fol-
low If the Bali rent act is finally held
constitutional!
The commission denied to grant
possession Of apartment o, the La
Hrande, GOT Fourth street northwest,
in the case of Samuel A. Pearl against
Harry X. Bliss, trading as the Alonzo
o. Bliss Properties, on the ground
the defendant did not have any just
reason for occupany.
1t was ruled the defendants notice
to quit served on the complainant was
legally insufficient and the demand
for the apartment was not made In
good faith, since it was not desired
for the defendants own occupancy or
to raze and construct a new rental
property.
There was also a rental dispute in,
volved in the case. The present rem
tai OF S4l. so per month was reduced to
$40. The complainant had charged
the defendant wanted to evict him SO
that the apartment could be re-rented
at a higher figure.
