COMMEND THN GOVERNOR TOR INDEPENDENCE

Governor Tcmploton is winding up a career as chief executive Of the state with the good wishes and good will Of citizens of all classes except the comparatively few party luminarics who make practice of irritating the public while control ing the political des.inies of, the commonwealth.
 Some time ago he was quoted as declaring he desired to take a course in Yale at the end ot his term; but it appears that bis am hition has Jagged and he may have concluded the special university education wouldn't bc an essential to his future happiness. Be that as ; it may, the university couldn't pos sibIy polish the rugged honesty forming the backbone of his char acter and that sincerity and devo- ton to the peoples welfare which has earned for him the enmity of the political powers that prevail in the state.
 It perhaps is true that the gov ernor at some periods during his governorship failed to show a maxi mum of the lighting spirit in deal ing with the organization in con- trol of his party; there are some who are of the opinion that he might have wieded the cudgel of : wrath with better effect. But per haps such critics have not been aware Of the conditions facing him as has the governor from his van tage point in the center of political graritation. It is easier to stand on the sidelines and shout than to make the goal in the face of 1yer- whelming opposition.
 The most recent triumph of the governor in contcmptuously disre- garding the frolhy Vaporings of g handful of the states self-consti- tuted political mentors by refusing to permit haxdpicked candidate to be summariIN projected toward the |. s. senate, has received warn commcndations from nearly al state editors irrespective of party Comments by some Republican edi tors proved the most serious breal which the party moguls suffered within the Nutmeg area in years indicating a flash of Independence that may be bad omen for thu future.
 The governor did well by the peo ple and the shaver of abuse scat tered in his general direction by few tetrarchs of the current politi tcal system turned into an aureol of honor as it neared his brow.

 ROW AT CAPITAL
2,00O Notices of Eviction Are
 Served in Washington
By Harry B. Hunt NEA Service Writer

Washington Oct. 29. Wash ington, The City Beautiful" may once again become tented city un- less a truce is reached between the capitals landlords and tenants.
 More than 2.0o0 notices of eHc- tion. effective Nov. 1, have been served by landlords on tenants who have refused to meet rent increases which went into effect Oct. 1.
 This threatened wholesale evic- ton is the continuation of a war that began with our entry into the World war. Congress. however, put the brakes on sky-rocketing rentals at that time by declaring housing emergency and providing a rent commission for the District of Col umbia with power to regulate ren- tals,
 This commission, under fire by District landlords has been con- tinued from year to year by con- gress. But recent court decisions adverse to the local rent act and the powers of the commission have given the property owners couf- age and the flood of dispossess mo- tices is their declaration of war. That 1t may be an intense and dramatic battle is indicated by the rallying of threatened renters into a Tenants League" sworn to re- sist the demands of their landlords to the limit.
 Preparatory to the "zero hour for battle this organization has applied for permission to erect tents in the elipse, large open park space immediately south oi the White House. for the housing of members who suddenly fad themselves and their possessions fir the streets.
 These grounds were throwr l open, a year ago, for tents to house thousands of visiting Shriners dur. ing the national Shrine convention Secretary of War Weeks, however says permission was speeifcall, granted by congress. and that lack ing~ congressional sanction similar use cannot be made of them fol the relief of evicted renters. Week. also says the army will not suppl! tents, blankets or cots in the land lord-tenant war; as was done at thu time of the Shrine conclave.
 i Undaunted by this, those who ar detying eviction are obtaining per mission to place tents on vaean sites and are seeking tents sn' equipment for a long siege.

HARDWARE MARKET
Hardware Age Report For Month Shows Improvement in Fall Busi- ness Throughout Country.

ness Throughout Country.
 New York, Oct. 29.--In its week. ly hardware market summary, Hardware Age will say tomorrow:
 Better business is reported from the leading hardware market cen ters. Trading is showing consistent improvement each week. Fall busi- ness appears to already have reached a point nearly equal to the volume recorded for the same time last year. Factory shipments are unusually prompt. Collections have improved materially In all sections and there appears to be a minimum of bad debts.
 There are very few failures re- ported, and a very small number of new stores being started. There is also very little evidence of shopping with the result that prices generally are fairly firm.
 Tt is generally conceded that hardware prices will be subjected to readjustment, and opinion Is di- vided Rs to the nature of these ad- justments. At press time it seems fair to say that the majority of those consulted do not look for im- portant declines in the face of what they consider a firm and, even ris- ! ing material and labor market"

due to a housing shortage.
 It is the price being. charged for rental property that has brought the crisis tenants declaring they cannot and will not pay higher rents, while landlords insist on lacking up rentals to new high levels.
 The average price of an apart ment room in Washington today. according to rent commissions fig ures, is $S5 per month. That makes three-room apartment cost s105. 8 five-room suite $175. In the face of these rentals a government clerk trying to raise a family in Washington becomes perforce a financial expert. Otherwise he simply can't "get by"
 Members of the rent commission declare that Washington landlords are agreed In a policy preferring to rent only two-thirds of their apart ments at high rentals rather than all at a moderate rate which would produce the same gross return.
 In addition to this. the crowding of families of from three to five people into "davinette" and "cab- inette" apartments of two or three little rooms is already producing an unwholesome condition socially and physically.
 These are the things that have decided tenants on a definite and determined campaign of resistance.

PUBLICATION OF TAX RETURNS
is STILL UNDER DISCUSSION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S:-The
federal governments attitude toward
publication of income tax returns
was further beclouded today after
the cabinet had discussed the ques-
tion at its regular Tuesday meeting
Leaving the cabinet meeting, Attor-
ney General Stone said he had found
his colleagues in general agreement
and would make some statement late
in the day. Asked whether he and
Secretary Mellon agreed as to the
legality of publication. the attorney
general replied in the affirmative.
Mr.. Mellon previously has taken the
position that publication is illegal.
Some time after the meeting
broke up, however, White House
officials said President Coolidge was
unaware of any decision as to rul-
ing for or against the legality of
publishing the returns in newspa-
pers. Mr.. Coolidge was said to be of
the opinion that government officers
must enforce the law, but that every
one must be presumed innocent until
proven guilty.

Find Body OF Woman In
Abandoned Mine Hole:
Identified BY Husband

OXFORD. N. J.. Oct. 2S.-The
body of a blonde. bobbed haired
woman found slain early today in an
abandoned iron mine hole near here
has been identified as that of Mrs.
Grace Thomas. of Rocky Run, near
Glen Gardner. Frank Thomas, her
husband. who established the wom-
ans identity after having been
brought here by state police at noon,
told the officers that when he went
home on Sunday night he found the
place deserted and his wife gone.
Mrs. Matthew Mooney notified the
state police of the finding of the
body A blood stained bed sheet
bearing a bullet hole was also found
in one of the three burlap bags,
which. filled with the woman's per-
sonal belongings. had been thrown
into the hole on top of the body.
The woman was clothed only in un-
derwear which. with the bloodstain-
ed bed sheet indicated she had been
shot in bed. County Physician Cum
mings declared.
Thomas told the state police, who
took him behind closed doors for a
long questioning, that his wife had
not been living with him recently.
He added that when he came home
Sunday night to find that his wife
had been there he found two win
dows broken out. the house in disor-
der, and bedding and other furnish
Jugs upset. some of which was MISS
ing.
Thomas. who is about forty years
of age, said that he had been away
all day Sunday visiting his father.
Just before O'Clock the state po-
lice were still questioning him n
their efforts to establish the idensNy y
of the wornan's slayer.
A small testament in which was
written a name. was found in one
of the burlap bags. and was taken
possession of by state police pending
an investigation. They refused to
divulge the name in the volume.
Questioning of many persons in
this small town who came to the
scene failed to establish the identity
of the. murder victim, and the con-
viction was expressed that she had
been killed and afterward brought
to the mine hole in an automobile
from some other town.
