Rent Law Fight
Opens in State
Appeals Court
Nine Cases al Issue Before
Albany Tribunal Cover
Every Phase of Dispute
Over Emergency Bills
Police Power Is Attacked
Landlords and Tenants Have
Big Array of Lawyers;
Presentments Cause Delay
From a star Correspondert

ALBANY. Jan. 19.-Arguments on
the constitutionality Of the emergency
housing laws passed by the Legislature
during the extraordinary session last
September were begun to-day before
the Court of Appeals. Owing to the
great volume of presentations to ts
made by both sides, it was found noe
essary to continue the cases until to-
morrow.
On the decision Of the Court of APP
peals hinges the question whether the
state, under its so-called police powers,
has the right to grant emergency pro-
lection to tenants.
The nine cases on appeal cover vir-
tually every phase of the controversy
of the housing law. which was the sub
ject of endless argument in the lower
courts. So far the tenants have scored
heavily against the landlords. The
only reversal which they have met &C.
CURED in the Appellate Division, First
Department.
The question at issue was the right
Of the Legislature to nullify the pow
efs Of the Supreme Court in eviction
actions. The court held the law un-
constitutional This victory for the
landlords was, however, counteracted
by the decis on coached on the same
point by the Appellate Division, Second
Department, which held it constiru-
tional.
e : I'll Nd
realty interests were presented to the
Court of Appeals to-day by former
Justice George L. Ingraham, Alexander
c McNulty and John M. Stoddard.
Their contentious were that the rent
laws were in violation Of the United
States Constitution; that they sanction
confiscati ton of property; that they
transgress upon the provisions Of the
state constitution by nuilifying the
clause creating jurisdiction CT the Su-
rreme Court, and that they make a
n,ockery OF obligations Of contracts.
Attorneys for the state and the Lock
wood housing comm ttee, which draft
ed the laws, argued that the state was
within its rights in adopting the hous-
irg relief laws, and that in doing so it
was merely exercising its police powers
to handle an emergency situation which
threatened to affect the welfare of
large number of citizens.
The state was represented by Attor-
ney General Charles D. Newton, Will
lam n. Guthrie, Julius Henry Cohen
and Elmer G. Samms, counsel to this
lockwood committee.
In view Of the fact that the Legisla-
ture has postponed consideration on
further rent relief measures until a
decision is handed down in these cases.
1t is believed the court will expedite
consideration and announce a decision
soon.

a patriarchal beard, dropped q five-dol-

THEIR BASEBALL TALK

When Coach Tobita Of the Weseda
University baseball team runs over to
the third base coaching lines as his
Nipponese ball players come to bat, he
doesn't let loose flow of Japanese
but Wells instructions in the native lam
guage of the great American game. Ali
of his players, who are now touring
the country speak English in some de-
gree and all of them use American
baseball parlance on the diamond.
Even the youngsters in Japan call
out and strike in English. Coach
Tobita said here recently, when his
nine played the University Of Chicago
a three game series. "Of course all
students in high schools and universi-
ties in Japan are taught English, but
cut i'm the fields where the small boys
play ball. they use the English terms.
Baseball is the japanese national
game, too
Coach Tobita, who is 35 years old,
has been playing ball for more than
II years and has been a professional
coach for two years. He was star AT
Weseda which is located at Tokyo,
and captain of the team in l909-lp.
His early diamond training was under
Herbert H. Hunter, former New
York Giant, who had a large part in
the development of baseball at Vase
da. Baseball. however, has been play
ed in Japan for 40 years, Coach To-
bita said.
The Japanese have two seasons of
ball" Coach Tobita said, in explaining
their enthusiasm for the game. I'VE
have a spring and autumn schedule,
each lasting about two months In
Tokyo we have a league of four uni
Horsities and play regular schedule.
Weseda has about 10000 students
hut comparatively few of them take
part in athletics. Coach Tobita said.
Members of the team expressed
great adm ration for the American

In Edw n DENLY the navy has as
secretary 4 man who was in the ser
vice" DENLY was a gunner's mate
during the Spanish war and
served in the marine corps in the

Denby's greatest achievement-so
his friends say--was his success in
melting off about 20 pounds of surplus
weight during his sojOurn with the
marines. When he enlisted his wa st

inches that he couldn't see the tips of

without the aid of a periscope.
For all his bigness, great fighting

mild and the owner of a rather shy

DENLY has firsthand experience in

SPEED Of CARPENTER
WILL Be ONE FACTOR
THREATENING DEMPSEY
Corbett Thinks That American
Can Hit no Harder Than Any
of Good Heavies of Past.

NtOpyIlBnt, I5Sl, Dy tHe i. ~ -
ATLANTIC CITY, June 25.-In slz-
ing up probabilities in the Dempsey
Carpenter fight there is one point II
is well to remember--that Dempsey
will not have slow-moving object TO
punch.
Carpenter IL fast and shiftN. He's
tricky, too, and he has n habit of
waltzing about. feinting with his head
and coaxlng an opponent to lead that
may seem rather foreign to the
champion for the reason tnat he has
not met a man OF Georges speed
I'm not trying to take anything
away from Dempsey. Neither am
trying to convince anyone that Demp-
sey Is going TO win the big fight or
that Carpenter has an even chance or
better I'm simply picking out points
for my readers to consider.
Dempsey is mighty hard hitter He
practically knocked Jess willard out in
the first round just as he did Fulton
Morris and others. He can knock out
any man he can hit but so could JEFF
fries. Fitzsmmons, Sullivan or Peter
MahCr.
Dempsey hits no harder than most
o. the hard hitting heavles in ring
history. For instance. | think that
Maher could hit as hard as any man
who ever lived. II Maher could ha e
had the slow moving Willard in fra,
Of i'm in championship battle !
think he would have knocked him Int
as quickly as did Dempsey. The stnie
goes for jeff. Fitz and sullivan.
Nh ch depends, then, on how Car
rentier gets started. He may fail 90
get away to n good start and II he
does he no doubt will have TO suffer
for II. But he is dangerous man,
quicker than Dempsey On his feet and
the champion had best look out not 10
get in his way He has great right
hand. If he gets off 10 a good start
his speed and cleyerness are quite
likely to bother the champion and as
pemnsey isn't used to such things
There Is no telling What effect 1t
might have upon him.
Yesterday was an of day for the
champion. lie felt that he was en-
titled to vacation for two reasons
one because yesterday was his 26th
birthday and the other because he is
