LANDLORD COMPLAINS
AGAINST SUBLETTING

Alleged exhorbitant subletting prac-
ticed in the Beacon Apartment House,
18th and Calvert streets, by Mrs.
Helen H. Bresee. lessee of seven
apartments in the building. has been
reported to the District rent commits
sion by Harry NJ. Crandall. owner of
the Beacon. This is believed to be
the first move by apartment house
owners against tenants who sublet
apartments at supposedly unreaSon-
able figures.
In a complaint filed with the rent
board, Mr.. Crandall points out that he
is not concerned with what action the
commission might take in decrea sing
his own profits, but he asserts that he
is desirous of saving the Sub-tenants
''the terrible amount they are paying
for the use of a few dollars worth of
furniture" He accordingly asks the
commission to fix the rentals, fur
nished and unfurnished, on the seven
apartments leased by Mrs. Bresee.
One apartment mentioned in the pc
tition of Mr.. Crandall. consisting of
six rooms, was declared to be rented
by the complainant to Mrs. Bresee for
SIS a month, and that she is sublet-
ting 1t for $125 a month, and has
asked a subrental of SITS a month
during the coming year. Mr.. Gran
dali emphasizes that with the proposed
rental the defendant would be receiv-
ing s10O a month for her furniture, as
against the SIS he receives for the
apartment itself.

Enterprise

A week ago l chanced to say
to Ebenezer Jones. "I'll buy my
self nice coupe when. l can
spare the bones" 1t was. an
idle. thoughtless speech, a
wheeze. to all 'intents Il had no
thought that it would reach the
cars of passing gents. But when
i reached my dwelling place
nine statesmen waited there,
each with a glad and beam
ing face. and eloquence to spare.
Along the curb their cars were
parked, nine wagons, fair to see ;
and as one man these gents re-
marked, Come, take a drive
with me-" And all the long,
long sunny day car dealers
worked my phone, and each one
had a grand coupe really ought
to own. And l grew wabbly in
the knees, and my despair was
tense, for statesmen roasted in
the trees and sat upon the fence +;
they lifted up the window sash,
and said, with nerve sublime
I'm case you cannot spare the
cash, we'll sell a car on time. "
BY mail they flooded me with
bunk, instructed me by wire,
that l could trade in any junk,
my shotgun or my Tyre. For
days they came, upon the jump,
each with his fetching yarn
they got me when / went to
pump, they ragged me in the
barn. Hereafter when I've
things to tell all by myself I'll
go, and whisper them down in
well-the deepest one | know.

DENIES BUILDING LOAN
RATES ARE,TOO HIGH
Senator Calder Submits Communi
cation From Building Asso-
citation Council.

Senator Calder of New York yester-
day laid before the Senate communi-
cation from the Building Association
Council denying charges made by
Senator Nelson of Minnesota in the
Senate recently to the effect that in
terest rates on building loans in
Washington were so high that many
people could not build homes.
Senator Nelson at the time spoke in
opposition to the proposed tax exemp-
tion o: the $500 income on building
loans, saying:
Some years ago. in connection with
the appointment of a judge in the
District of Columbia. I had occasion
10 look w what the building and loan
associations here were charging the
poor borrower who went in there for
a loan. | found in the case of that
particular company here in the District
and the man had the papers, having
made the loan and finally redeemed it
that he had been paying over SO per
cent interest to that building and loan
aSSocia ation."
c Clinton James. who signed the let
ter for the Building Association Council.
commenting upon this statement of Sem
ator Nelson, said:
There are twenty-five local building
and loan associations now doing busi-
ness in the District of Columbia, and
when my attention was called to this
statement I made an investigation and
found that for the last twenty years
no local association had charged over
per cent interest. The association
that Senator Nelson referred to must
have been national association which
did business all over the country and
had an office in Washington. All of
these associations have long since been
put out of business
