Ulster, Mr.. Churchill said, had made

He could not see much real foundati ton

PLANS MOVING SMOOTHLY
FOR ARMS CONFERENCE
Secretary Hughes, in Constant Touch With
Other Po,uers to Be Represented: Does Not
See Single Cloud in Diplomatic Sky:

the democrats are concerned there
will be no politics in the disarma-
ment conference.
THE democrats will work to the
limit to make it a success" the state
ment continues. with sincere friends
of the cause like Senator Underwood
and Secretary Hughes as members OF
the conference, reinforced by an
awakened public sentiment. there is
assurance that the main purpose of
the conference will not be submerged
and there is renewed hope for prac-
tical results"
Qualification is expressed in admin
istration circles over the prospect of
ratification of the peace treaty with
Germany without undue delay and
getting it out of the way before the
armament limitation conference as
sembles. There is no disposition at
the State Department to take excep-
ton to the reservations proposed by
the Senate finance committee to the
treaty. while agreeableness to accept
ance of them preciudes the possibility
of friction between the Senate and
the executive and makes for speedy
ratification.

MANY LANDLORDS LIABLE.
Number OF Tenants Complain 'Ex-
cess Has Not Been Returned.

Complaints coming to the attention
day indicate that a number of land
lords have made themselves liable to
be sued by tenants for failure to re-
fund excess rents collected in viola
ton of decisions rendered under the
Ball act. Yesterday was the last of a
thirty-day period allowed in the re-
cent extension of the law in which
property owners might repay these

Half a dozen tenants who were COM
PEELED by their landlords to pay
monthly rentals higher than those
fixed by the rent commission appear
ed at the offices of the rent board in
the Hooe building today and formally
notified the commission that refunds
as authorized by the law had not been
made. These complaints will be filed
by the commission until an attorney
for that body has been appointed
when, upon request of the tenants,
suitable action will be instituted in
the local courts to compel landlords
to comply with the law.

1t was estimated today at the COM
mission headquarters that approxi-
mately S1550D0 had been saved ten
ants in rental reductions on a yearly
basis up to last April, when the law
was declared constitutional by the
United States Supreme Court Up to
this time. it is calculated. probably
only 20 or 25 per cent of this amount
had gone to the tenants benefit, due
to the fact that the decisions of the
rent commission were ignored by
many property owners. It is estinat-
ed that about $125,000 was the
amount that had to be returned to
tenants by those landlords.
From information reaching officials
today, it is said that two of the most
important cases, involving together
Some $56.000 refund, had not been
settled with tenants today, making
landlords in these cases liable to total
assessments of more than 100000,
including the double penalty fixed by
law.

BALL RENTAL LAW
FACES TEST IN SUIT
Owner Questions Section De-
manding Return of Excess
Collections.

The validity of section 123 of the
re-enacted Bali rent law is questioned
in suit filed in the District Supreme
Court by Edward p. MertZ, owner of
the Prince Karl apartments at 1901 X
street northwest. The section pro-
videS for the return to tenants of all
excess rentals over the rate of rent
ais set by the rent commission, and
failure to make such returns today
makes the owner or landlord liable to
suit in the Municipal Court. with PEN
alties set forth in section 112 of the
act.
Named as defendants are -the men,
berS of the rent commission and the
tenants of fifteen apartments in the
building. Attorney William E. Rich
ardson represents the plaintiff. who
asks that the defendants be enjoined
from attempting to collect the excess
rentals. and that the court hold that
the leases under which the tenants
now occupy the apartments are valid
and unaffected by the decision of the
rent commission fixing rents in the
building. ..,--.--.-
Owner Not Party to Proceeding.
Mr.. MertZ explains to the court that
the decision fixing the rentals was made
in January, 1920. in proceeding
brought against Charles d. Sager. then
agent for the property. without making
the owner of the building a party. Mr..
MertZ did not acquire the apartment
until September. 1920. and says he was
without knowledge of the decision of the
rent commission. even if that decision
was legal, which he questions.
When he purchased the building it
was in bad condition and the elevator
lad been condemned, Mr.. MertE tells
the court, and he has expended $1,000
in repairs and in the installation of a
new elevator.
Money Put in Improvement.
All the returns from rents. he says.
have gone into the Improvement OF the
building and the making OF repairs re-
queSted by the tenants as part con-
siders,tion of the new rentals under the
allowed to recover the alleged excess
over the rents fixed by the commission
when the house was out of repair and
had no elevator service, Mr.. Mertz says.
he will suffer irreparable damage and a
penalty will be enforced on him which
is without warrant of law.
Mr. MertZ tenders himself ready to
pay into court forthwith sum equal
TO the alleged difference SO as to avoid
the penalty should the court sustain the
validity of the section in question.
