CASE.

HEARD
O(;T.6
Hurry Is Expected to Get Act
Before U. 8. Supreme
Tribunal by Next May

Realizing the importance Of an
early adjudication Of the Ball rent
law, the District Court Of Appeals
today granted a motion Of Attor-
ney Louis Gutenberg to advance
the hearing of the appeal Of Mrs,
Frances F. Peck from a decision
Of the Municipal Court, which held
that the law was still operative.
The case will be argued October
6, when the appellate tribunal
convenes and will be the second
case on the docket to be heard.
Plea of Both Sides.
The case would not have come w
for hearing until January or Feb.
ruary. but the plea of Gutenberg
regarding the chaotic condition ex-
listing in the rent situation IN this
city, caused the court to schedule
the case for October 6. Attorney j.
L. Krupshaw, for the tenant, joined
in the request for an early hearing.
The principal and only question
involved in the appeal is the pass
ing of the housing emergency which
formed the basis of the Ball rent
act.
A decision from the Court Of
Appeals may be expected In Novetn-
Der which will afford an opportunity
to take the case to the u. S. SUI
preme Court before expiration Of
the Ball act, May %, 1925.

Hoping q bear-shin OvercOat would
OhOrtly come his way,
And tramping through the woods he
saw slowly ambling along

Now the bear was seeking breakfast
and he had an appetite
And TO him the hardy hunter looked

While Yep raised his trusty gun and
The warmth Of . beaF-slxin ovorcoat

And then Yep pulled the trigger, but
his aim was not quite true,
He struck the bear on the paw, and
no straightway at Yep flew;
And before Yep got another shot he
was knOeked down By thc bear
Who fell upon his victim and break
tasted then and there.
Now the bear and ZOp had started
