ATTEMPT TO GO OVER
CATARACT IN BARREL
FAILS; SEEK HIS BODY

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, July l2
River men today are patrolling the
Niagara gorge below the falls in the
hope of recovering the body of Chas.
G. Stephens, Bristol, England, who
lost his life yesterday in an attempt
to go over the cataract in barrel
The barrel bursted to pieces and
washed up on shore. Bobby Leach,
who went over once in steel barrel,
told Stephens before he started that
the wooden cask would not stand the
strain.
Stephens was So years Of age and
has wife and eleven children in
Bristol, where he was barber. lie
served three years in France with
the British army.
He had planned to make a lecture
tour of England if his trip was sue
cessful.
Few knew Stephens was to make
the trip and when the barrel was
towed out into the river on the Can
adian side two miles above the falls.
there were only dozen on hand to
watch. 1t was 8:l0 a. m. when Steph-
ems was cast adrift. Early sightseers
on Goat Island saw the barrel bobbing
up and down in the tumbling reaches
of the upper rapids. but none knew
that il carried a man about to defy
the cataract.
Members Of the Stephens party fol
lowed the cask down stream in auto
mobiles. I'm one car moving picture
operator filed the progress Of the bar
rel As the barrel drew near the
brink, it seemed to stand on end, hest
tate second or two and then slide
gracefully over the slope, head fore
most and at an angle. Its cleaning
black and white strips could be seen
until il had fallen about half way
down the face Of the cataract and then
it was lost to view in the misty spray
Field glasses trained on the boiling
waters at the base Of the cataract
revealed no sign Of the cask. When
an hour passed. old river men began to
shake their heads obviously. They
remembered that Mrs. Annie Edison
Taylor had made the trip in 40 min
utes and that Bobby Leach was on his
way to the loop of the bank 80 minutes
after his barrel had been set adift
above the falls.
The barrel was six feet and three
inches high. 1t had strap arrange
mcnts inside and an electric light
system.
Stephens is the third to attempt the
barrel trip over the falls.
Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor went over
i'm October, 1901, in an oak barrel
and Bobby Leach made the trip in July
1911, in a steel barrel. Both are
still living.

RENT LAWS FAIL
TO PREVENT THE
N. Y. PROFI7EER
Rent Gouging Continues With
Assaults on Thousands,
Says City Official.
fRy The .isSurinted PrcssD


NEW YORK, n. Y, July 12.-The
new state rent laws are in effect and
have not deferred profiteering land
lords from continuing rent gouging
assaults on thousands of tenants in
New York City, according TO Leo Ken
meth Mayer. chief counsel for the May
or's Committee on Rent Profiteering.
The landlords are adopting divers
methods TO oircumvent the new laws.
Mr.. Mayer declared ard have been
successful to a certain extent.
The three chief lodges employed by
the landlords as outlined by Counsel
Mayer are to:
Notify tenants that their leases
will not be renewed unless they are
willing to pay exorbitant rentals.
If they refuse to meet this increase the
tenants are then ousted by due process
Of the law.
Notify tenants that the premises
have been sold on the cooperative
plan but offer to sell them the apart
mcnt, if they will pay the exorbitant
sum asked.
Show higher valuation on their
property by inter-transfer of property
through alleged sales and thus be
able to extract higher rental
The first method. according to Mr..
Mayer. is the most popular but is
rather slow as it takes from one month
to one year to legally evict tenant
The cooperative selling plan, he de-
Of the landlords TO exploit the tenant.
The transferring Of property on the
pretense of making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation of
the premises il one Of the latest lodges
Mr.. Mayer explained. BY this method
the landlord "sells" to a relative or
business partner. then buys" .he
property back again and thus runs up
the valuation, which will command a
higher rental under the state law.
The entire legal staff of the rent
committee has been placed at the
disposal Of tenants in their fight
against the rent profiteer. Landlords
who are inclined to be fair are meeting
their tenants in the offices Of the COM
mittee and are arranging new leases
with their tenants on definite terms.
The rent committee which has been
in operation for Is months has hand
led more than 5000 cases of which
50. 900 have been settled in and out of
court. OF the remaining cases, 5000
are listed rs hopeless and no settle
mcnt is possible.
There is a constant flood of com
plants into the committees office.
which is visited by about 5000 ten
ants every week.
The committees office staff of
seven, according to Mr. Mayer. han
dies more than 1000 complaints by
mail daily besides from. $50 to 800
telephone calls.
