FIRM
BRINGS
SUIT
Would EnIoin Commission
From Fixing Rentals on
Garfield Apartment

The effect Of the recent tenn.
porary injunction granted against
the District Rent Commission by
Justice Wendell P. Stafford, Of
the District Supreme Court, was
brought forward again today.
Taking advantage of the order,
the Fidelity Savings Company to-
day filed a suit in the Supreme
Court asking that the Rent Com
mission be enjoined from fixing
rentals Of the Garfield apartment
at 901 Thirteenth street north
west, the first floor of which il
occupied by the company AZ .
banking establishment.
Lack Of Power Claimed.
The suit Of the company declares
that the members of the Rent Com.
mission, who are named as defend.
ants, are without power to perform
any Of the duties prescribed in the
Rent Act. The suit declares that
the action Of Congress in passing
the Rent bill for another year was
predicated upon an investigation
by Congressional committees which
offered no opportunities to property
owners to be heard in the matter.
Investigation Attacked.
The plaintiff, represented by At.
torney George Curtis Shinn, says
that late In 1922 a number Of the
tenants Of the premises in question
filed complaints with the Rent Com
mission claiming that their rentals
were unfair. The cases were con-
solidated for hearing February 5
last, according to the plaintiff, who
says that the members of the com.
mission inspected the premises
March 4, and are about to deter.
mine rentals.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff
that homes, apartment houses and
rooms Of all kinds and characters
can be obtained at rentals fair and
reasonable and commensurate with
the now existing economic and f.
nancial conditions and depending
upon the location, size and convent.
ences Of said homes and apartments
and rooms
The plaintiff concern claims that
the Congressional investigation into
the housing condition shows on it's
face that it is based largely upon
ex parte testimony of alleged ex-
cessive rents. and upon alleged
manipulation Of the real estate mar.
ket and other, considerations which
do not establish shortage Of
homes" ~

HARD LUCK STORY DOES
NOT SAVE PRoBATIoNER

Dominick Bronson, arraigned be
fore Judge Mcmahon today on the
charge Of intoxication, pleaded
guilty but asked that no be given
another chance as he would lose
his job and his wife ana children
might be In want.
The court looked UP his record
and found that he was already on
probation with thirty-day sentence
hanging over him. The court, de.
claring he was always mindful OF
the predicament a mans family
would be placed in should he re
sentenced to Jail, asserted that as

Plan
DEADLOCK,
HOLDS
Compromise Rejected by Sem
ate conferees in District
Appropriation Fight

A compromise offer was pro-
posed in the deadlock upon the
District appropriation bill today,
but it was rejected by the Senate
conferees.
Holding fast to their position
that the 60-4O fiscal ratio should
be abolished, the House conferees
offered to fix the contribution Of
the Federal Government to the
upkeep Of the District at $9.000,-
600 and also to give the. District
revenues entire credit for the
miscellaneous receipts which are
now q portion of: the 6Q-4O basis.
Senate Holding On.
This offer the Senate confereee
turned down, although the House
conferees declared it would mean a
total contribution to the District
revenues Of something more than
81. OOO. 600.
The Senate showed that it was
not yet ready to abandon the eO-4O
plan.
An alternate proposition was dis
cussed. The Senate conferees, pro-
posing that the House yield on its
major contention and that a COM
mission be appointed to investigate
the subject Of local taxation with
instructions to report at the next
session Of Congress. Provision for
this commission, under the Senate
plan would be written into the pend
ing appropriation bill.
There Is no indication, however,
that the House will accept this plan
and the prospect OF q deadlock an
pears to be as strong as ever. The
Senators say that their present
proposition represents the one sound
method of disposing Of the difficulty
that has arisen.
They are willing to bind both
houses Of Congress to adopt the
recommendation Of the proposed tax
commission.
1--WE did not get anywhere. Mel
Their side budged an inch In it's
position" Senator Ball, one of the
Senate sconferees said after the
thirty-minute session.
Likely TO Stand Pat.
The House conferees today will
ask for additional instructions from
the House. 1t is taken for granted
that the House will vote over
whelmingly in favor Of standing by
Its original position against the
$3.50 plan and establishing q fixed
contribution from the Federal gov
ernment to the revenues Of the
District Of Columbia
The Senae oonferees would not
admit today that they were in any
mood for compromise. With the
probable ADJOURNMENT of Congress-
facing them at the close Of the week
they seem to be prepared to con-
tue the deadlock unless the House
conterees win make certain conces-
sions. 81 t.
Under the circumstances the be.
lief ts growing that both the House
and Senate will adopt q continuing
resolution providing for the naainte-
nance OF District appropriations for
the coming fiscal year on the basis
OF appropriations for the current
year, This will continue the 6O-4O
ratio in effect temporarily.
The conferees will meet tomor-
row morning in an endeavor to
patch up their differences.

THE CHAMBER EXCURSION

Early Monday morning a number of Seward and Anchorage business men will leave on the good ship Starr on an excursion to the west ward, one of the first ever staged by the Seward Chamber of Commerce, or by any chamber, for that matter. Many Anchorage business men have taken a membership in the Seward chamber in order to take advantage of the low rate, and long stops made at each port by the vessel.
 Captain o. A. Johansen and Mana ger Gilbert Henderson have worked hard to bring this excursion about, and if it is not a success it will not be the fault of either of these gen. tlemen. Every Seward busness firm should have a representative on this trip. It is matter of vital impor- tance that the representation be as large. as the vessel can accommodate.
 Seward has had no opportunity to get acquainted with her neighbors to the far west, and the trip is in the nature of a get-together and get acquainted one. Unless our business man get in behind the excursion to the extent of having representatives aboard they cannot expect to reap any benefits.

DEVELOPING A RAILROAD

So much pickering and fault find
 ing has developed along certain sec. tions of the railroad, that Secretary Work has appointed a personal rep resentative to assist General Mana ger Landis in his policy of reorgani- Zation. Without casting and reflec- tions on the policy of harassment and propaganda indulged in by cer- tain communities, the Gateway be- lieves that such acts are not only detrimental to the best efforts of the railroad management, but they actu- ally hamper development of the dis trict traversed by the railroad At all times this paper has endeavored to be fair in its treatment of the railroad situation, even when Col. Fred Mears had declared that he
 would make grass grow in the Streets of Seward" and used his tre- mendous power to our detriment, but it stands squarely behind the admin istration of General Manager Lee H. Landis, believing him to be a thoro railroad man and working for the in terests of all to the benefit of no one section. He has brought the man. agement of the railroad to a safe and
 sane economic basis, fact which we

substantial payroll, many new indus tries are looking this way, and the railroad has ceased to be factor in development only insofar as tran sient travel leaves few dollars with our hotels and restaurants.
 Unless we stand squarely behind Col. Landis and at least give his pol icies of retrenchment trial, we will greatly weaken our standing in Wash ington and eventually cut off our ap- propriations for the railroad. No man can do his best work under constant revilement To succeed in any task one must have encouragement.
 Development of the railroad dis trict apparently depends as much upon the development of spirit of helpfulness as it does upon the poli- cies of it's management.

believe is apparent to all who Will review the horrible waste of money under the management of prede- | cessor. It is of vital interest to all towns along the railroad to have it run as economically and efficiently as possible To continue the waste the long run, as the railroad must pay operating expenses or go into the hands of private concerns, which would mean higher rates and less efficiency.
 To our way of thinking, if one man can do the work of two, one man should be employed. To do otherwise would not only be wastful but would engender spirit of sloth on the part of communities who would expect the railroad to maintain them, leaving potential resources untouched and un- developed.
 When Col. Mears made his cele- brated pronunciamento and removed the railroad headquarters from Sew ard. the town was hard hit, many persons believing the end of all de- velopment would cease. However, our citizens started development in other lines and today is much bet ter off than when depending upon governmental pap. The town has a

ARCTIC COLD CLAIMS
 OWNER OF DUXBURY

According to a letter received in Nome recently by Mayor Maynard, the Arctic cold has claimed another victim The gas schooner Duxbury, trading in the far north, got as far as Flaxman island where the crew went into winter quarters. Three of the crew left the ship to hunt caribou for their meat supply. One morning the men went hunting and upon their return found their tent blown away. Only two of the men had sleeping bags and they crawled into them, the other man being forced to run about to keep warm. He lost his bearings and never returned. Natives said that it was one of the owners that was lost but did not know which one.
 The schooner DuXbury sailed from Nome August 23, last year. She was in charge of O. K. Larson who was proceeding on a trapping and trading expedition for the Leioes company. Beside Mr. Larson the crew consisted of c. w. Scarborough, moving pie ture man, formerly of Cordova; H. l Chamberlain, c. Peterson and Chas. Jensen.

DINNER COOKED
WHILE BUYING

''Self-Made MeaI' Is Only
Possible in. Electric
Oven
BY STELLA ELIZABETH DELAND

BY STELLA ELIZABETH DELAND
The dinner for which am giving
recipes below was cooked in an
electric oven while I was away
from home shopping the better part
Of the day. Before left in the
morning I prepared it and placed
1t in the oven, arranging the time
when / wanted the electric current
turned on, and when / arrived
home at quarter to six I found
the dinner almost cooked. / had
just enough time to set the table
and change my dress. This self.
made" dinner consisted OF:
Pea. Soup
Roast Pork Tenderloin
Apple Sauce Riced Potatoes
Salad
Prune Whip
Coffee
Pea Soup.
Pick over cup Of dried split
peas and soak them over night or
for several hours before starting to
cook. Drain, add cold water, a
piece Of salt pork or ham bone
and about two small onions. Bring
to boil over a heater unit of the
electric range at high" heat and
then place in the oven with the
other food. This soup should sim
mer at least three hours. Then
when the split peas are soft rub
them through sieve and return Il
all to a heater unit of the range
and cream, using a cup of half
cream and milk and a tablespoon
full Of flour.
Roast Pork TenderlOin.
Wash and wipe the tenderloin
thoroughly, put in a bake dish and
dredge with flour, salt and pepper
to taste. Peel several small onions
and add them and cup Of water
Place in a thoroughly pre-heated
electric oven so as to scar the out,
side Of the aroast completely and
either cook slowly for three hours
or If YOU are going out leave it in
the oven. In this case, however
have the tenderloin on a rack in
the bake dish so that the water
and meat juice will drain off as
the cooking progresses.
Peel a quart of cooking apples
cut in small dice and add sufficient
water to reach one inch below the
top Of the apples. Add the juice
of lemon, a cupful of granu-
lated sugar and place in the cleo.
trio oven to cook with the soup
and pork.
Peel the required number of
potatoes, wash and half cover them
with water, add a tablespoonful OF
salt and place in the oven. When
they are cooked put them through
a potato ricer.
