SENATE TOACT
Of
D. c. RENT ACT
Amendment to Statute Would
Repay Back Rent to Tenants
Under Favorable Decisions.

Senator Ball today introduced his
resolution extending the Ball Ront
Commission act for a seven-month
period in the Senate.
The resolution provides that the
rent law shall be continued from
october 20 next until May 22. 1929.
1t provides that the Rent Commits
sioners shall be paid salary Of
IS, 900 a year AMI the secretary $4,000
a year. 1t also provides the COM
mission with a counsel who shall
reNesent the commission in all liti-
cation.
Garages, hotels, and other business
properties are exempted from the
terms OF the resolution. Senator
Ball hopes that the resolution will
be passed without debate. There Is
considerable group in the Senate,
however, which will attempt to ex-
tend the Rent Commission act for
longer than the seven-mouth period
provided for in the resolution.
An important amendment to the
Rent Commission act was placed in
the resolution as presented to the SEN
ate. II provides a method'by which
tenants can recover back rent that Is
owing them under decisions of the
Commission. Its text Is as follows:
That in all cases where the owner
has prior to April 1S, 1921, collected
any excess rent or charge, he may re-
turn such excess to tenants direct, and
in default OF his so doing upon ap-
plication by the tenant to the Commits
sion, a rule shall be issued against
such owner and served in the same
manner as other notices from the
Commission. requiring such owners to
refund such excess to the tenant with
in ten days from the service OF such
rule, and in default OF such refund
within the said ten days, the Com
mission shall proceed to recover dou-
BILE the amount OF the excess with
costs and attorneys fees as herein
provided"
The Senate District committee will

GET PRISON
JOB, BELIEF
Of FRIENDS
Retiring Jail Chief Has Been
| Under Criticism, But Change
! Is Political.

! Charles c. Foster, general super
intendent Of the District penal in
stitutions, today rendered his resig-
nation to the District Commission
ers, requesting that it take effect
at the commissioners pleasure"
The resignation of Superintendent
Foster, recognized as one Of the lead
ing prison experts in the United
States, did not come as a surprise
to his many friends in Washington,
most of whom had heard rumors that
successor had been considered by
the District Commissioners.
MOYER MAY GET PLACE.
While the District Commissioners
this morning make no public state
ment as to whether they would accept
Superintendent Fosters resignation,
1t is reported they will do so within
few days, naming w. II. Meyer, a
prison welfare worker and former su-
perintendent of the Federal prison at
Atlanta, as Mr.. Fosters successor.
The appointment OF Meyer as sue
cessor to Superintendent Foster will
be the result, II is said, OF the recon-
mendation OF the District Board of
Charities, OF which John Joy Edison,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany, is chairman, and which has di-
rect supervision over the District
penal institutions.
In rendering his resignation, Colonel
Foster no doubt realized that a move
ment was on foot to eliminate him
from the superintendency of the Dis
trict prisons, as has been done since
the election of President Harding of
many of the other heads of Federal
prisons. One OF the latter was Fred
erick z. Zerbst, recently discharged
as superintendent of the Federal
prison at Atlanta
Prior to coming to the District in
April 1918, TO accept the appointment
'of superintendent OF the District
kworkhouse and reformatory at Deco
)quan, Mr.. Foster was superintendent
lof the county Jail at Louisville, KY,
said to have been recognized under
his supervision as one of the most
model prisons in the United States"
On April "a. 1919, Foster was ap-
pointed by the District Commission
ers to the position of general SUI
|perintendent of all the District penal
succeeding Louis r.
>Zinkham, superintendent OF the jail,
and william H. Whitaker, thsn su-
berintendent of Occoquan. Later
Foster evolved a plan by which the
Euperintendency of all the penal in
Btitutions was placed under one
head.
Both Zinkham and Whitaker were

By International News Service.

There is every suspicion that the
American schooner, Carroll A.
Deering, met with foul play before
she dashed herself to pieces on
Diamond Shoals, on the North Car
olina coast, said statement issued
by the State Department today.
The Departments announcement
only served to deepen the mystery
which surrounds the Deering's case
and that of three other American
vessels which have disappeared
from the face Of the sea during
the last few months.
FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
The State Department issued the
following statement:
"on January 20, 1927, the American
schooner Carroll A. Deering, sailing
at the rate of about fve miles per
hour, passed Cape Lookout lishtship,
N. c., and on January 81 1t was found
few miles north OF that point in
such condition that there is every
suspicion OF foul play. The vessel
cleared for Norfolk. Va, from Rio de
Jenerio, and put into Barbados for
orders, but, receiving no different or
ders, proceeded on its voyage to Nor
folk. After passing Cape Lookout
lightship the vessel was not again
seen until II was found as a wreck
and nothing has been heard from the
members of the crew. The master Of
the vessel, Captain WarormeI, is re-
ported to have been experienced as a
navigator and thoroughly reliable.
CAPTURED ny SHIP
AT the time the Carroll A Deering
passed Cape Lookout lightship, a man
on board, other than the captain,
hailed the lightship and reported that
the vessel had lost both anchors and
asked to be reported to his owners
Otherwise the vessel appeared to be
in very good condition. A short time
after the schooner passed the light
ship a steamer, the name of which
cannot be ascertained, which was
passing. was asked to stop and take
message for forwarding, and in
spite OF numerous attempts on the
part OF the master of the lIghtship
to attract the vessels attention no
response to his efforts was received.
"on April IL, 1921, the following
message was picked up in a bottle
near Cape Hatteras:
boat, something like chaser. Taking
of everything, Handwriting crew.
Crew hiding all over ship. Nochance
to make escape. Finder please notify
headquarters OF Deering.'
"The Carroll A. Deering carried A.
motor lifeboat and dory, but neither
OF them have been picked up and no
records OF them have been found. Most
OF the provisions, clothing. and sup
plies had been removed"
Mariners on the seven seas OF the
world will be asked to keep an eve
open for traces of the American cargo
steamer Hewitt and two other Amer
lean freighters. whose mysterious
disappearance while of the American
coast several months ago is as COM
plete as II the sea had suddenly
opened up and swallowed them.
Cautious Inquiries in foreign ports
already have been made by Govern
ment agents without success, and to-
day IL was decided that a general
alarm would be tried. American con-
suls will bring the matter to the at
tention OF foreign authorities all over
the world in hopes that some clew
may be picked up.

DENVER, Colo, June 21.-The
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor has become a political
convention, with all the big issues
crowded into the background by
electioneering and the question of
whether John L. Lewis, forty-one
years old, head of the United Mine
Workers Of America, can oust Sam
uel Gompers, the seventy-one-year-
old veteran of the labor movement.
LEWIS CLAIMS VICTORY
with both sides claiming victory

1t is conceded on all sides that
the veteran head OF the federation
faces the greatest crisis in his
career.
The announcement OF Lewis can
didacy caused CONSERVATION in the
Gompers camp. The fear now is OF
a stampede for the younger leader.
According to Lewis supporters, he
would not have announced his can
didacy had ne not Deen assured OF
enough votes to win. They claim he
has already 10000 OF the $4,000 votes

porters make claim of more than

ABOARD AIRPLANE OFF AT
LANTIC COAST Cby wireless to
Langley Field, Va.), June 21.-The
former German submarine U-117 was
sunk in five minutes this morning
by bombardment from the fourth
naval division, fifty miles east of
Cape Charles lghtship.
The fourth division was ordered
to attack at 1884 by wireless
from the naval air commander
aboard the U. S. S. Shawmut.
Within a minute a shower of
bombs from the NC planes de-
scended on the gray back of the
submersible lying awash 1000
feet below. The ship rocked with
the concussion as the bombs took
effect, gave a convulsive shudder,
which brought her bow we'll above
the water, and then slowly sank
from sight-before the whirling
planes could return to the attack,

NAVY CHEATS ARMY.
The entire Atlantic fleet was clust-
cred about the submarine target to
watch the bombarding. On the way
out across the sea seven destroyers
were strung at intervals to. lend
assistance in case of a forced land
ing. Huge superdreadnsughts swung
lazily three miles away, while de-
stroyers bobbed easily closer to the
target.
The quick work OF the navy flyers
cheated the army Of chance to dis
play the ability Of its bombadiers.
Back at Langley Field, fifteen huge
Martin bombers were on the flying
