RENT BILL GETS O. K.

Reported Out Without Change, But
Fight on Floor on Some Fea-

A favorable report of the rent bill,
extending the life of the Rent Com
mission for two years, was made to-

An identical measure has been intro
duced and placed on the calendar in
the Senate.
Although two amendments were
offered, the bill was reported by the
House committee in its original form.
Representative Stalker of New York
endeavored to have substituted one
year instead of two years for the
commission to operate, and although
the amendment was at first passed by
vote Of to- 4, 1t was reconsidered
on a motion Of Representative Mcleod
of Michigan, and lost, 6 to 4.
Another amendment, offered by Rep
resentative Zihlman of Maryland, to
exempt future building operations
from the control of the Rent Commits
sion, likewise was defeated.
The motion to report the bill was
carried by Z to vote, but many of
those who voted in the affirmative,
including Representatives Blanton.

nounced that they would make a de-
termined fight against certain pro-

Effort to Change
10th Street Name
Hit by City Heads

The District Commissioners are
opposed to changing the name of
Sixteenth street to Presidents
avenue, they advised the Senate
District committee today in re-
porting unfavorably on a bill to
accomplish that purpose.
The city heads point out that in
1913 Congress directed that the
name of Sixteenth street should be
changed to Avenue of the Presi-
DENTS" but that in the following
year they restored the old name
of Sixteenth street. The Commits
sioners say that when the change
was attempted previously there
were numerous protests.
Attention also was called to the
fact that Sixteenth street runs at
right angles with the alphabetical
streets, while avenues run diagon-
ally. They believe that confusion
would result II Sixteenth street
should be given an avenue name.

While Mr.. Stones nomination was
confirmed by an overwhelming vote,
this action was not taken before
criticism had been voiced by Senators

Bruce of Maryland and Walsh of
Montana, because the Attorney Cen
eral had seen fit to seek indictment
of citizens of Montana, including
Senator Wheeler, in the District of

have been sought in Montana.
They declared that the fact Mr..
Wheeler is a Senator had nothing to
do with the criticism of the Attorney
General, that had another indictment
of Mr.. Wheeler been sought in Mon

in the Senate regarding the move.

CRAMTON OPPOSES
SURPLUS PROPOSAL
Congress Is Not Called On to
Match Sum Due D. c., He
Asserts in House.

The claim that the Federal Govern
ment should appropriate s5,O0o,000
approximately to match the District
surplus recently made available by
act of Congress was assailed by. Rep
resentative Louis C. Cramton, Re-
publican. of Michigan when the Dis
trict appropriation bill was called
UP in the House late today.
Representative Cramton explained
that the District surplus was year
after-year accumulation of balances
left from money raised by taxes,
which had not been appropriated by
act of Congress. He said that the
agreement between Congress and the
District was not to match dollars
with the money raised in taxes. but to
match dollars with the money appro-
priated from the tax receipts.
Representative Cramton protested
against the proposal made yesterday
by Representative r. Walton Moore
of Virginia that District estimates
should be removed from the jurisdic-
ton of the Budget Bureau.
Representative Charles L. Under
hill of Massachusetts, a member of
the House legislative committee on
District measures, also expressed the
opinion that it would be unfortunate
over the affairs of the National Capt.
tai.
He declared this to be the best
governed city in the country and en-
phasized that the best minds of the
entire country were brought to bear
upon the proper development of the
Capital City, even though Congress
| might at times be justly criticized for
| neglect of the Capital.
Work for Capital Urged.
He urged that the House District
committee be considered one of the
most important assignments for men,
bers, that members should continue

as to bring to 1t mature, we'll informed,
| experienced counsel regarding Dis
| trict legislation. He recommended to
| his colleagues that they should de-
velop a spirit of cooperation with

| tive help rather than by criticism dis
crediting the efforts of members OF
| that committee.
He advised his colleagues that they
should consider that they were
conscientiously bound to pass the

National Capital, in which all the peo-
pie of the country are properly in

of the country are justly proud.

that then they will find Congress
