COURT OVERRULES
RENT COMMISSION
Grants Three Owners Iniunc.
tion Against Boards
Reduction Order.

The Rent Commission received a
setback Tuesday In its attempts to
fix rents for the premises at 219 T
street northeast. 307 S street north
east. 174o Euclid street northwest,
and 144s Girard street northwest,
when Justice Bailey in Equity
Court signed an order granting the
owners and agents OF these prop
critics a temporary Injunction
against the commission. restraining
the latter from attempting to en-
force its determinations affecting
these properties.
Complaint was made by George
Linktns, owner of the T street
property and that on S street. and
Howard NJ. Etchison. owner of the
Euclid street property, and William
o. Gilbert, owner OF the Girard
street property that the commits
sion had not served legal notice on
them. but had named only their
rental agents and then held hear
inRs and lowered the rents.
The court decided that the own
ers should have been named de-
PENDANTS by the commission and al
lowed an opportunity to show why
the rents should not be reduced.
The order. which restrains the COM
mission. also requires the tenants
to continue paying the former rent
called for in their leases until the
matter is finally settled.

What kind of. gasoline \

nRUMMERS who make dozens

This balanced gasoline gives quick
starts, even when the motor has

HERE'S A MERRY ENGLISH
JOKE ON JEwELED ARCH.

Some of the foreign visitors to
the arms conference do not consider
the jeweled arch at the Navy and
Pan-American Union buildings quite
the work of art II generally has
come to be regarded in Washington.
In. fact one OF the British visitors
suggested that II reminded him very
much of IAN Orange arch in Lon
donderry," and thts wass censidsred
quite a joke by some Of his Brit
ish colleagues. He then explained
for the benefit of those who could
not see the point. 1t seems in Lon
donderry the Orangemen have the
habit of erecting an arch on some
what rare occasions or fete days.

Brazil Wants Japs.

TOKYO, Nov. 3O.-In the sailing
today of the Chicago Maru the
Washington conference and the
world may find a vivid answer to
the Japanese governments conten-
tfon that it must expand to get room
for its excess population.
The Chicago Maru is sailing from
Yokohama for Brazil. The Brazil
ian government has offered bonuses
of 500 a piece to every Japanese
settler, and the Japanese govern
men has subsidized the undertaking
But the list of japanese embark
ing on this trip with all its allur-
ing opportunities does not half fill
the ship. The immigration COM
pany which organized the COLOMBIA
ton details in Japan under govern
ment subsidy virtually has aban-
doned hope of getting any more jap
anese to sail on any later ships.
VIII Not Leave Nippon.
The fact is that the japanese will
not of their own accord leave their
native island. For years the jap
anese government has been trying
TO lure them to the Hokkaido, the
second island in size in Japan, and
lying Immediately north of Nippon,
the principal island. The Hok-
kaido, as the department of agri-
culture has repeatedly shown, can
absorb Immediately 5000, 900 of the
surplus population of the other is
lands and never notice their reflex
But the Japanese will not go. They
prefer the milder, Seattle-like cli-
mate Of Tokyo to the Bismarck
winters Of the Hokkaido.

PRINCE ADEPT AT THRUST
AND PARRY IN INTERVIEW.

Prince Tokugawa is an adept at
parrying verbal thrusts. Very often
the reporters endeavor to get from
him some statement which may be
of news value. as they do from
other diplomats and persons Of Inn
portance. but they are never sue
cessful in getting the Prince to say
anything which he does not wish
to or in conveying any intimation
which he does not wish to. He is
master in his particular line. The
reporters get nowhere with him. II
they attempt to be facetious as
they sometimes do. he very handily
turns the tables. He Is constantly
laughing. or smiling. but he insists
there is no joke, nor anything fun
ny about anything at all and that
he must be taken seriously.

TOKYO PRESSLAYS
STRESS ON U. 5. AS
HYPOTHETICAL FOE
Japanese Papers Concern
ed Over Struggle for
20 Per Cent Ratio.

TOKYO. Nov. se.-Judging from
the tone of Japanese newspapers a
serious dispute has arisen between
the United States and Japan re-
garding the limitation OF arma-
ments. but the government seems
hopeful that a satisfactory adjust
ment may be reached. Some of the
present attitude seems due to the
governments desire to save its face
since 1t seems impossible that Jap
an win obtain 70 per cent ratio.
although Admiral Kato's- demand
for this strength is backed by the
cabinet and the diplomatic advisory
council.
See u. 8. as Possible Fee.
The newspapers are laying en-
phasis on Admiral Kato's reference
to The United States as . hypothet-
ical enemy in advancing the neces-
sity for a greater percentage. In
discussing this phase the Liberal
newspaper Yomiuri says:
"Japan's claims are based entire
ly on technical military considera-
tions while the United States has
considered the political and diplc-
matio aspects. This latter consid-
Grafton, involving the keeping OF a
part of the American fleet in the
Atlantic, probably has impelled the
United States to set 60 per cent
IF Japan and America would
agree to dismantle the Pacific force
IL would lessen the United States
power to conduct hostilities against
Us, but in such an event 1t is neces-
sary to have an agreement preserv-
ing territorial integrity and to de-
eide whether the Anglo-Japanese
treaty is to continue"
Question of Mathematics.
The Jill remarks:
The situation is somewhat Sc
rious as Mr.. Balfour has urged Jap
an TO accept so per cent. We ho,d
that 10 per cent is a fair basis. II
America wishes to show a fair at
titude she must prove mathemati-
cally and strategically why so pei
cent Is generous and 10 per cent cx-
cessive and she must make Japan
acquiesce therein. Americas re-
fusal to accept revision is a viola
tion Of the spirit Of a military
agreement"
