MAN BEING BURIED AS
CASE Is CALLED TO TRIAL

Bondsman p. F. O'Connor failed
to produce a defendant who was to
be tried in Police Court today for
violation of the prohibition law,
but was not suspended for twenty
four hours, as is customary for
this offense.
He announced to the court that
the defendant, Thomas Burns, had
died Saturday, so would be unable
to appear on this date. In fact the
funeral was in progress at the time
the case was called, he said. Judge
Schuldt, being assured that death
certificate had been issued, dis
missed the case.
Burns. who was fifty-three years
old, was for many years black
smith who specialized in horse.
shoeing. He was considered an
expert in his line and shod many
racehorses that ran. on Maryland

Expire May q.

What is said to be the first at
tempt of an apartment house

anticipated expiration of the rent
act next May % was revealed in
complaint made to the District
Rent Commission today by ten
ants of the Chastleton Apart
ments, Sixteenth and R streets
northwest.
Notified of Raises.
According to the complaints ten
ants of the apartments have, on
two days notice, been presented
new leases calling for large in
creases in rentals, effective from
October l..
Under the provisions Of the rents
act these increases cannot be put
into effect without authorization OF
the Rent Commission, which has
fixed rates of rentals for the
Chastelton, If the rent act expires
IN May, as it is expected to do,
owners can fix any rentals they
choose. Thus the present rates VIII
continue in effect until May.
Some Refuse to Sign.

however, it is declared, will make
themselves liable for the payment

It was pointed out that complaint
In the case of the Chastleton had
not yet been officially made and that
the commission has not yet been
called upon for ruling in the mat
ter.
The retroactive increase, which
would in the case of some apart
ments amount to 500, it is stated,
would undoubtedly be contested by
tenants and would be brought before
the Municipal Court for adjustment.
Officials of the Rent Commission
feel that in this case the court
would hold that the Rent Commits
aion rates were in effect until the
expiration of the rent act and that
the retroactive rental feature would
be Illegal and, therefore, not collect
