AMENDMENTS
To RENTAL ACT
Battle Opens in Senate Tomor-
row-LandIords Raped by
Senator Pomerene.

Protest against certain sections of
the proposed amendment to the Ball
rent act was made by George p.
Hoover, and Hugh Roland, repre-.
senting the District Bar Association,
to the Senate District Committee to-
day.
The opposition of the Bar Asso-
citation was directed to that provis.
ion which provides that appeals
from decisions OF the Rent Commits
sion shall go direc, 10 the District
Supreme Court instead OF to the
Court Of Appeals. Hoover claimed
this procedure would have a tend.
ency to crowd the courts docket and
would delay final decision instead OF
accelerating It.
Roland made a similar argument.
Brown Defends Measure.
Chaplin Brown. counsel for the Rent
Commission, supported the proposed
amendment to the bill. saying the
Court OF Appeals was in a state OF
hopeless congestion. He pointed to
the fact that nearly eighteen months
was consumed in obtaining a decision
from the Court OF Appeals in the
Monmouth Hotel case, and that II
would be next November before a
hearing in the appeal relating TO the
Meridian Mansion. 24OO Sixteenth
street, would be granted by the court.
Senator Pomerene, who presided at
the hearing. made statement in
which he gave the Senate commit
tees reasons for inserting the
amendment in the measure.
II have never had the idea that
Rent Commission legislation would
be more than temporary" he said.
II had hopes that by this time. when
the country is getting back TO normal
after the war period. that the land
lords Of the District of Columbia
would also get back TO normal. But
unmistakable proof has come to this
committee that, instead of getting
back to normal. the landlords are be
coming more grasping than ever.
We recognize this condition. and our
sole idea in making this amendment
TO the bill was to insure speedy jus.
tice for both landlord and tenant"
Vote Due Tomorrow.
Ii is not probable that the Senate
District Committee will make any
change in the Rent Commission bill
now. The measure is slated to com"
before the Senate shortly after I
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. when a
final vote on the judges bill is
reached
At that time either Senator Ball or
Senator Pomerene will make a mo-
ton TO have the rent bill made the
unfinished business of the Senate,
which means it will have the right OF
way until a vote upon il is reached.
There is no open and visible plan 10
prevent consideration of the meas.
ure, but il is well understood that a
small minority in the Senate is bent
upon obstruction, and will do every
thing in it's power to prevent the bill
from being acted upon.
The real estate lobby opposed TO
the measure has been extremely ac-
tive in the past few days and the
mimeograph is working overtime.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - That there will be no scrapping of battle ships until the Five Power treaty has been signed by all five of the signatories, was announced by Sec retary of the Navy Denby yester- day.

 A NEW LOW LEVEL

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The death rate from all forms of tuberculosis, in the year, 1921, reached the remark ably low level of 90.7 per 100000 popu- lation. This information has been ob- tained by the National Tuberculosis Association from the registrars of 45 states in the Union.

 The association points out further that since it began it's active program in 1905, the tuberculosis death rate has been cut from slightly over 200 to a figure well below 100 per 100,- 900 population.
