INTERESTS RENT BOARD
Effect Of Proposed Curb on Evic-
tons Is Discussed.

Members OF the District rent com.
mission are watching with interest
the movement in Congress to curb the
eviction of tenants on a seven days
summons. provided in the Ball bill
now before a Senate committee. It is
believed that a check on the number
Of eviction cases carried to the NUM-
cipal Court will have the effect of
reviving recourse by landlords to the
rent board in possession disputes.
Under the present procedure many
landlords are following the course
of applying for possession OF their
houses before the Municipal Court.
The futility of trying to gain possess
sion in a reasonable time through the
procedure proposed in the Ball bin
is apparent to property owners. It is
pointed out that If the bill is enacted
into law the rent commission will be
the natural body to which to apply.
The commission is holding to its
regular schedule of hearings this
week. suspending them on Friday and
Saturday, as usual. No determinations
were handed down today.

ION, and one OF the most prominent
OF these Is a better concept of the

that we entered the great struggle
across the water. and it is to make
democracy safe for the world and to
preserve that for which we have
struggled that we now labor, not
alone in this country. but throughout
the world. Our problem is to trace
this new and essentially modern idea
Of democracy from the point where
ft begins to be a potent factor in
shaping human progress, on to our
day"

ELUDE COAST GUARD.

There Is a big stock of liquor in
the Bahama Islands. less than forty
miles from the Florida coast. which
is smuggled over in small vessels
and flying boats. according to Com
modore W. +. Reynolds of the coast
guard. which is helping to suppress
the traffic.
The commodore told the House an.
preparation committee that he had
captured "a little of it," which had
been turned over to customs collectors
or prohibition officers.
Operation of coast guard craft in
the great lakes has had a deterrent
effect upon persons inclined to smug-
gle Hquor from Canada, said Commo-
dore Reynolds, who frankly admitted.
however. that his force was not suf-
ficient to stop the traffic entirely. It
would be very difficult. he declared,
to break it up altogether.
