SENIOR SENATOR OF
NORTH DAKOTA dies
AFTER AN ILLNESS

Senator Edwin Fremont Ladd, of
North Dakota, passed away quietly
at hospital in Baltimore, Maryland
Monday morning, after a brief illness.
Senator Ladd has been suffering from
neuritis and rheumatism and kidney
trouble which confined him to his bed
in the hospital about ten days ago.
His condition had become quite serious
but was not considered critical until
two days before his death. The af-
Fiction which indirectly caused the Sen
ator's death, fastened upon him a year
ago while he was visiting in North
Dakota. With his clothing wet from
passage through rainstorm, the Sem
ator travelled all day in that condi-
ton, resulting in an attack of neuritis
in his left shoulder which went later
to his wrists and hands. At that time
he was advised against over-exertion
by his physicians. Owing to tremen-
dous interest in his work he became
impatient of the restraints of his doc
tors and started ON a trip to North
Dakota. His trip ended in Cleveland
where he visited son Vernon and
then returned to Washington with a
renewed attack of neuritis and rheu-
matism He entered 1 hospital at Bal
timore and few days later kidney
trouble developed and his Condition
became worse. He retained conscious
ness almost to the last. Mrs. Lsdd ar
rived from Washington an hour before

studying law 1t George Washington
University, and his daughter, Virginia. !.

new POLLARD WILL
Be OPENED TO THE
PUBLIC SATURDAY

Inc Ioltdfu tlutel, Mhish Niestu oil
the 1st of May, will reopen as the New
Pollard on Saturday, the 9th. The
hotel has undergone compiled trans
formation in the way of remodeling
and refurnishings. 1t will be pleas
ant surprise to guests of the hotel to
find such delightful quarters for their
soiourn in the city.
Entering the lobby, which is furn-
ished with new leather overstuffed
davenports and chairs and new desks,
one steps upon new linoleum of pleas
ing design, while newly varnished wood
work and freshly calsopined ceiling
contribute to the effect Of inviting
cleanliness and cheerfuIness. The in
terror transformation extends to every
room in the hotel, which has been
newly papered and painted. The new
furniture has been installed, the dres-
sers; chairs and writing desks being
of French walnut and rugs of the most
pleasing designs in beautiful shades of
blue, tan or rose lay upon the floors
awaiting the first steps of the guests
of the New Pollard. There will be new
curtains and cretonne drapes to har-
monize with the rugs and nothing has
been left undone to complete the
thorough and successfully accomplish
ed effect of cleanliness and comfort
for the guests. Mr.. Pollard, who was
ably assisted by Mrs. Pollard, made
some very fine selections of the furn-
iture, the bedsteads, both the large
and the twin beds, being Of very
pleasing design.
The halls of the four floors of the
hotel will be treated to new paint and
runner rugs, instead Of the linoleums
now upon the floors. Mr.. Pollard
states that the hotel will be in per
feet readiness for the guests expected
for the Eagles conventions. 1t was u
source of worry to many people when
the Pollard was compelled to close two
months ago, that Red Lodge would
not have sufficient Accommodations for
the Eagles, but we are now assured
that with the opening of the New Pol
lard and other available rooms in the
city, we will be able to entertain the
guests who will arrive in way which
will do us no injury. On the other
hand we may well feel proud of the
New Pollard and grateful for the new
which has been accomp-
lished in. the short space of time in
which it has been closed to the pub
lie.
Mr.. T. r. Pollard will manage the
hotel but as yet no arrangements
have been made for the opening Of the
dining room and lunch counter IN con-
nection. 1t goes without saying that
the efforts of Mr.. Pollard viii be re-
warded by very successful future for
the hotel which in its pleasantly
state was very much needed
ln Red Iodge.
The interesting fact in connection
with the refurnishing of the new Pol
ard In that all Of the furniture and
rugs were purchased through the Ball
Furniture Company Of this city while
III the curtains, bedding and draperies
were purchased through the Grove
Store.

Mrs. La Toilette, the Senator's con-
fidante and advisor for 43 years Of
married life withstood the shock of
his death bravely. In addition to her
he is survived by two daughters, Mrs.
Fola Middleton of New York and Mrs.
Ralph Sucher of Washington, and two
sons, Philiph Of Madison and Robert,
who has served rs his fathers secre-
tary.
The body was taken Friday to the
senator's home at Madison. No fu-
neral services were held here, but on
insistance Of those who stood shoulder
to shoulder with him In his battles in
Wisconsin, his body lay in state in
the capitol Sunday. Funeral services
were held Monday in that building,
where he once presided as governor,
and he was laid to rest IN Forest Hill
cemetery, beside his parents.
Presidents Sympathy Among First.
Leaders Of all political creeds were
quick, Thursday, to pay tribute to Sem
ator La Toilette and acknowledge his
influence on contemporary American
politics. One Of the first to offer con-
dolences to Mrs. La Toilette was Presi-
dent Coolidge, who wrote:
"The news having just reached me
of the death of Senator La Toilette, !
wish to extend to you and your family
the sympathy Of myself and Mrs. Cool
idge. As you know, | presided over
the senate for considerable period
while he was member of that body,
and 80 came to know of his great abil-
ity and untiring energy.
He has left behind him a great con-
course of friends who will i know, do
everything in their power to comfort
you in this hour, but my own expert
ence tells me that nothing that NOR
tails can do win be of very much help
to you. trust that you may, ss the
years go by, find an increasing salts
faction in the long list Of honors that
were conferred upon Senator La Fol-
lette by his countrymen."
Wheeler Sees influence Continuing.
AS soon as he heard Of his col
leagues death, Senator Lenroot OF
Wisconsin, one time follower of Mr..
La Toilette, but of late opposed to
him politically, called at the home to
extend his sympthy to members Of the
family.
Another who offered condolences
was Sen. Wheeler, of Montana, who, as
vice presidential candidate, shared the
independent ticket with Senator. La
Toilette last November. In state
ment, Senator Wheeler declared LA
Toilette dead will be even more power
full that La Toilette living" and pre-
dicted "the fight for the principles
which he has advocated th-ae many
years will be carried on by the people
with the same indominable courage
which he has always manifested"
From Secretary Kellog came the
tribute that Mr.. La Toilette had a
'long and distinguished career of pub
lie service and was a man Of great
ability and extraordinary energy and
force"

That's as sound as a steel ingot.
Our troubles are mental. Put a plank
six inches wide on the ground, and OF
a hundred people, every one will walk
the length of it without fear of fall
ing. Put the same plank fifty feet In
the air, and two in hundred, perhaps,
will be able to walk it. Put your plank
up two hundred feet, and not one in
thousand will try to cross it.
Yet leaving ou. fear, it is as easy
to walk such plank thousand feet
up as it is fiat on the ground.
The height of our national pros
perity makes some citizens dizzy.

President Coolidge, it is said, will
cut twenty-five millions year from
the cost of the United States army-a
good idea. Soldiers marching over the
ground in future war from the air will
be about as useful as so many rabbits
when eagles attack them.
The presidents economy will be
twice as valuable if he will arrange to
spend the twenty-five millions cut
from the army on the building of more
flying machines.
Henry Ford will use United States
ships, If he gets them, to take cars
south and around into the Gulf of
Mexico and bring fruit and vegetables
back to the north.
That programme would be welcomed
by millions. 1t would help to solve one
problem of distribution and develop
the great producing regions Of the
South as they should be developed.

study disclosed information extremely
interesting and significant, as it sup
ported in the most definite and au-
thentic manner the position Of the
board In its prediction that no whole
sale evictions would result from the
lapse of rent legislation.
THE statistics compiled show 1868
cases filed from March /, 1926, to Sep
TENDER 80, 1925. which period extend
ed from almost three months prior to
the lapse of the rent law until four
months after its lapse. Out OF all
these cases there was a total Of l3,181
cases which showed on their face that
they were filed solely for non payment
Of rent. In view of the fact that only
1873 cases resulted in actual evictions
by the marshal's office, it is conclu-
sively proven that the number of land
lord and tenant cases filed have no
bearing whatever on the housing sit
uation and represent merely that por-
tlon or our tenant population that are
delinquent in the payment of their
rent. Practically all of these cases are
adjusted before they reach the evic-
ton stage. because the rent is paid by
the tenant. Out of the number filed
each month there is. OF course, a
group of tenants that are chronically
bad pay and require court proceed
ings almost every month in order to
collect the rent.
The small number of complaints
that reached the board and the insig-
nif1cant number of evictions, both OF
which are negligible in comparison to
the population Of the city, prove con-
clusiVely that the removal of rental
legislation did not result in any gen
eral increase In rent or any general

tendency toward eviction. In view
of the fact that the Rent Commission
of the District of Columbia, by ad-
verse court decision. was practlcaiiy
inoperatiye for several months before
1t lapsed by expiration of law the pre-
dicted advent of wholesale evictions
and increased rentals could have been
expected before the actual lapse OF the
law and certainly would have been
expected after May %, 1925, the date
of it's expiration.
Restored Confidence.
1.-THE lapse of rent control legisla-
ton has restored confidence In real
estate and brought a renewed actlF-
itv In building with the result That
today it is plainly evident to all there
is no shortage of housing. Unofficlai
statistics show that $500 new houses
we're built In 1924 and 1000 built dur

Real Estate Board where there was
any evidence to justify the belief that
the request for an increase In rent or
the attempt to secure possession OF the
property was not warranted. The rec
ords kept by the board disclose the fact
that, with two or three exceptions, the
landlords were perfectly willing to ad-
Just their demands for rent increases
in accordance with the ideas or the
board as to fairness and equity. IN
quite a few instances tenants appealed
to the board regarding notices OF IN
creases in rents when they themselves
realized the increase was fair. but the
mere fact that they had a place Tor
complaints created a state of mind That
prompted call on the board. In
every case handled by the board we
not only attempted to bring the land
lord and tenant together In respect 10
the amount OF rent desired. but we
were immea surably helpful in bringing
TO each a better understanding OF the
opposite viewpoint, with the result
that they left much better prepared 10
