SEVERE RENT LAW
FRAMED, AUTHOR
FACES EVICTION
ASsemblyman Nelson of Jer-
sey City Is Ordered to
Vacate His Apartment.

Assemblyman Arthur Nelson OF
Jersey City has a fght for a home on
his hands which he seems TO stand
a good chance OF losing. He has
been ordered out Of his apartment at
No. sl2 Bramhall Avenue before next
Monday, and landlords OF other
apartments have refused him ms a
tenant so all that Is left for him Is
to seek out a hotel as a temporary
asylum. In the mean time II may
happen that his furniture will be put
on the street as another token Of his
landlords intent to get him out.
The reason for all this is a dispute
over rent and the fact that Assembly
man Nelson has several bills ready
for presentation TO the Legislature
which will make drastic regulations
governing rent increases and the dis
possession OF tenants. These will not
make the landlords any happier.
1t is claimed by Assemblyman Nell
son that in November, 1919, the rent
OF apartments In the Bramhall Ave-
nue. house was S6 per room, making II
$50 per month for five-room apart
ments. Succeeding landlords raised
the rentals until they reached $3.50
for five-room and S42 for four-rOom
apartments. Then the tenants took
the matter up with the Rent Bureau
in the office OF the Director of Reve-
nue. and Finance. An agreement waR
reached whereby the Increase was "a
be allowed provided certain Improve
ments were made.
Nelson offered to pay the old rent,
which was refused, and the case went
to court, where a decision against
Nelson was given by a jury. After
that Nelson offered the Increased rent,
though, ne claims, none OF the repairs
was made. After being sworn in as
an Assem- blyman the landlords OF the
house, Charles Levine and Harry Tur-
ketzky, ordered him out OF his apart
ment.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
ordered a Court of Inquiry into the

rell, Walter Hinton and Louis A.
Kloor jr, the balloonists from the
Naval Air Station in Rockaway who
were lost with their balloon IN the
w1lds Of the Hudson Bay country n
month ago and returned to the sta
ton yesterday.
The order, issued last night, spe-
cifically prescribes inquiry into "the
conduct Of the personnel during alb
sence from station" and is obviously
pointed to the published reports of
quarrels between the men in the will
derness and especially Of the en-
counter between Lieut.. Farrell and
Lieut.. Hinton when they emerged at
the railhead at Mattice.
The three Lieutenants announced
to-day that they would remain at
home for the next few days resting

ton and dance at the Rockaway Air
! Station Monday evening. Romanti-
cally inclined persons are looking for
ward to the formal announcement at
that time Of the engagement of Lieut..
Kloor and Miss Alexandra Flower
ton. Nobody who saw the greeting
which the young woman gave her
particular hero on the arrival Of the
party yesterday has any doubt that
the news is soon to be made off
cial."

J spection and Survey, was named a:
President of the court. The othel
members are Capt. Henry II. Hougl

In addition to a full statement o
its findings, the court also was di

MAN WHO MAKESIT
SAYS MOST BOOZE
IS COUNTERFEIT
Stamps and Labels No Protec-
ton on Stuff Sold for
800 to sos a Case.

Detective Thomas Gray Of Inspector
Boettler's staff produced before
United States Commissioner Hitch
cock to-day when he arraigned
Peter Scott Of No. l5O West End
Avenue on charge OF violwing the
Volstead act big bundle OF coun-
terfeit revenue stamps ana counter-
felt labels, such as are used to cer-
tify whiskey that has beeen sold fer
medicinal purposes The counterfeit
stamps and labels we're confiscated IN
Scott's home when Gray arrested
him last night and found the placs
completely equipped for the manu-
facture Of alleged whiskey and gin.
Scott admitted that he was maxi
ing and selling liquor in bottles car
rying the counterfeit labels and
stamps The purchaser, deceived
by the label and the stamp on
the neck Of the bottle. covering the
cork, thought he was buying real
liquor, whereas 1t was stuff Scotti
manufactured one day and sold the
next. Gray seized on the Scotti prem
ises six bottles Of real cognac, six
bottles Of real whiskey, five gallons
OF grain alcohol, a demijohn OF over
night gin and five gallons of over
night whlskey.
The arrest OF Scott reveals The fact
that counterfelting revenue stamps
and labels is a fiourshing business.
Scott said he bought his at Canal and
Mott Streets from a man who peddled
them there every day. According 10
Scott, a great part uf the whisiSey
that is sold for from $50 to SOS a case
is stun such as he was manufacturing
and putting out under the cover OF
counterfeit stamps and labels. Recently
the Prohibition enforce ement officials
tested 100 bottles Of alleged whiskey
seized in different places, all stamped
and labelled with ,counteffeit stamps
and labels, and every bottle was found

using, because a concrete floor with
out a rug on 1t is a cold footrest
SO it became necessary for Mr.. Hlrsh-
field to have new rugs. That's all
there Is about IT,"
The floor coverings in Mr.. Hirsh-

follows: stretch OF "battleshlD

er's chair to rest on. The bill for the
three COVERINGS atop the linoleum
stands at S265, and, to all appear
unccs, Commissioner Craig intends
to let It stand at that and stand as
long as possible.
Commissioner Hirshfield claims
that the wilton carpet was worn In

that the city got a bargain, as he

MIND CAN'T IDENTIFY PORTRAIT

Bill" Nye, former Secret Service
man for the state Department, now
in the employ of the Guaranty Trust
Company, No. 40 Broadway, who
was with the Prince of Wales during
all his stay in this country, failed to
recognize either the card or the por-
trait of Mr.. Dane.
To one who has something more
than a passing knowledge and an acN
quaintance with Englishmen, the en-
tire interview appeals as distinctly
un-British. Englishmen holding po-
sitions so close to the Crown are not
given to interviews upon court mat
terB.
In the interview it would seem that
Mr.. Dane has arrogated to himself
duties which belong to Lords Cham
berlain, Supervisors OF the House
hold, equerries, Wallets, dragomen and
other personal attendants, not TO
mention cooks and stewards.
II he has stated that he was in
any way connected with the arrange
ments made here for the Prince OF
Wales, he Is "in error" according 10
Mr.. Nye's remembrance.
His visiting card Omits designation
of which particular King he serves,
but there is an Implication in the
Address" S. w. l.. which Is merely
the designation Of London postal
district. 1t is about as much of an
address as Greenwich Village" or

After declaring that the King and

Every time the King and Queen
plan a journey the first thing to con-
slider is the political situation. Often
there are many reasons why a King
should visit a country, and then
again, owing to certain political con-
ditions, there is every reason in the
world why the King should not go to
that country or meet the President or
head OF the Government"
Have you heard that King George
intends to visit America in the near

He smiled rather a faint smile.
