Seeks More Rent
But Tenants Ask
For Warm Water

When Miss Margaret Jean Calvin,
landlord of an apartment house at
214o N street northwest. urged the
Rent Commission to raise the rents
of. her eighteen apartments yester-
day. she was confronted by the
same number of indignant tenants.
The tenants unanimously voiced
their disapproval. stating that odors
of garbage within their apartments.
lack of hot water and absence of
heat in the winter. were three condi-
tions which should lower their
rents rather than raise them.
One tenant said he could not tes-
tify about the heat as he was not
on speaking terms with 1t in the
winter time" Another explained
that he seldom took bath in his
apartment because of the lack Of
hot water.
Il usually take a bath in my
brother-in-law's house" he said.
How often do you go there?'
the lawyer asked.
That's my business" the tenant
replied.
The rent commission will decide
the case soon.

TnUNDERBOLT AT
ART PRIZE GIFTS
Noted Etcher Disturbs
Meeting of Artists
Federation.

The hitherto mild and equable
sessions of the American Fedora
;ion of Artists were violently dis
turbed yesterday afternoon, when
Joseph Pennell. American etcher OF
International renown, called Amer
lea the most backnumbered coun-
try and. from an artistic standpoint,
the worst in the world"
This startling statement followed
the announcement that Senator
Clark had donated 500. 900. the in
terest of which was to be devoted
to prize awards to stimulate the
production of artistic work in
America. Loud applause greeted
the announcement. Artists arose to
commend the gift.
II was at this point that Pennell'
rising to the full lenth of his SIX
feet. hurled his thunderbolt and
called the giving of prizes for ar
tistic productions the ''rottenest'
most corrupt species of graft, so
absolutely disgraCeful as to be In
expressable" PenneIl followed isis
with his denunciation of America
from an artistic viewpoint.
PIacques Hide Paintings.
In America" Pennell said, you
can hardly see the pictures. so COW
cred are they with placques of the
art juries. The absence of these
prize awards has made the Venice
art gallery the greatest in the
world IL is the most difficult thing
to gain admittance to view the
Venice collection, so packed is 1t
with artists"
Tho need of taking art to the
farm home was stressed by Mrs
whitford. of ST. Paul She declared
there were many agencies serving
the more practical needs of the
farm. but that the great thirst for
beauty in the isolated and drab
farm home was not being met.
That stained glass brings ''cour-
age and warm dramatic passion
was the statement of Charles J.
Connick. of St. Louis, who deplored
tthe low estate into which the craft
had fallen. Windows at present are
used to hang curtains on. but they
may be full of poetry. They should
he glorious with beauty" The
speaker added that commercialism
was the bane of the stained glass
art.
A resolution asking Congress to
establish a Bureau of Fine Arts
was introduced and referI ed to a
comr'ittee. Following the session
the delegates visited the White
House, where they were received by
the President.
The sessions will close today cap
ped with dinner at Rauscher's
this evening.
