rent bill. He said that the rent
legislation in the District Eta already
created much i'll Will between tenants
and landlords, which had never be-
fore existed. He said that the Real
Estate Board stood ready 10 do what
1t could to meet the conditions that
might arise. He called attention to
his offer to the Tenants League,
made some time ago. and to the sug-
gestion submitted by the board to
the President
In reply to questions from Repre-
sentative Blanton, Mr.. Petty declared
he believed the enactment of the
pendiLg bill into law would halt
building operations absolutely in the
District. He said that since rent legis-
lation had been in effect here not
single small dwelling house or two
family fiat for rental purposes has
been erected here. In the past, he
said, there were many such buildings
constructed to rent. The building
operations which have gone on are in
the main high-class apartment houses.
Keeps Money Away, He Says
Mr.. Petty told the committee that
there would be ample money here for
building operations If such legisla-
ton were not on the books

BAR ASSOCIATION
HITS new RENT LAW
Resolution Adopted Expressing OPP
position to Legislation Affecting
Fundamental Rights"

The Bar Association of the District
of Columbia is opposed to rent legisla-
ton. At the annual meeting of the
association last night a resolution
opposing the proposed rent act was
adopted with but one dissenting voice,
1T Is said. George c. Gertman. secre-
tary Of the association, was directed
to forward a copy Of the resolution
to Congress-
president of the association for the
ensuing year, with Conrad H. Syme
as first vice president and Abner II.
Ferguson second vice president.
George G. Gertman. as secretary, and
w. w. MILAN. as treasurer, were re-
elected. William +. Leahy, Arthur p.
,rury and Alvin l.. Newmyer were
,ade members of the board of direc-
:ors of the association.
The resolution against rent legisla-
ton adopted by the association reads:
Whereas certain legislation known
AS the District of Columbia rents act
Is now being agitated. which adverse
ly affects fundamental rights of the
people OF the District OF Columbia
and is prejudicial to owners of rental
property and In favor of occupants
of such property: and
Whereas, by said proposed legisla- :
ton, the control of rental property in
said District is delegated to a COM
mission not responsible to any de-
partment of the Government of the
United States, with inquisitorial and
arbitrary powers, yet having certain
judicial and regulatory functions not
renewable in any court; and
whereas the principle upon which
said proposed legislation Is predicated
has been expressly disapproved by the
Supreme Court of the United States
and by the Court OF Appeals of the
District OF Columbia:
Now, therefore, be II resolved, by
the Bar Association of the District of
Columbia, That 1t Is unqualifedly op-
posed to the passage of the proposed
District OF Columbia rents act or any
similar legislation"

clared that the proposed bill would
not benefit tenants in Washington.
He described the situation which had
arisen in New York and the law
there enacted. The tendency, he said,
had been to drive old landlords who
had the interests of their tenants at
heart to dispose of their properties,
which had been taken over by traders
who had no love for the tenants.
Tho first witness put on the stand
today were Chief Duputy Marshal
Callahan and Deputy Marshal Tuohey.
who testified regarding the case of
Mrs. J. K. Tschipke, who was evicted
from an apartment In 1900 Massachu-
setts avenue.
Mr. Callahan testified that Mrs.
Tschipke had called at his office and
wanted to have the marshal evict her
and have newspaper men present. She
came back the following week and in
sisted that they put her out, he said.
Declares She Was Ill.
Mrs. Tschipke appeared before the
joint committee yesterday and gave her
side Of the case, declaring that she had
even offered to pay the additional rent
demanded by the landlord. She also in
sisted that she was i'll at the time her
effects were moved out into the snow.
Mr.. Blanton asked If Mrs. Tschipke
seemed sick when she came TO the
marshars office.
No" replied Mr.. Callahan. IF she
had, I would have appealed to the real
estate agent. He would have listened
to me. I have made appeals in the
past and they have always listened
to me-"
Representative Hammer wanted to
know IL Mr. Callahan knew that Mrs.
Tschipke had offered her old rent
and the advance asked by the lad
lord Callahan said he knew nothing
about that.
Deputy Marshal D. c. Toohey, who
served the writ of eviction on Mrs.
Tschipke on january 8. told the COM
mittee that he had been met at the
door by two photographers and
couple of newspaper men. Mrs.
Tschipke came to the door. he said.
looking as though she had just gotten
up.
she said something about not feel
ing we'll then" said Mr.. Toohey. Il
said 1 was sorry that she had been
notified about the action. Many of
her things were packed up and ap-
parently ready to go. She said she
would have to call an ambulance and
go to q hospital. She lifted lot of
things that I do not think she could
have lifted II she had been very SICK.
Denies Notifying Newspapers.
Mr.. Toohey denied that the news
papers had been notified by him
The committee questioned Mr.. CAL
Iahan about the number of evictions
and eviction notices served before and
after the Rent Commission had been
practically put out OF business by the
decision of the courts. He told the
committee that from August 20 to De-
cember 81, 1909 writs OF restitution
had been issued. He said that he
thought that perhaps l per cent of
the tenants had been put out. great
many such writs, he said, were issued
because people failed to pay their
rent.
There is a class of people here who
will not pay rent until they are forced
to-" said Mr.. Callahan.
What per cent OF eviction notices
Evening star., 1925-01-14

are for non-payment of rent?" asked
Mr.. Blanton.
Mr.. Callahan answered sSk and 80
per cent. He said he thought this
probably was true of the 1903 notices
issued from August to December
Senator Bau and Senator Copeland
suggested that perhaps many of
these cases of payment of rent
had arisen where the tenants had re-
fused to pay increases demanded of
them. At the request of the commit
tee, Mr.. Callahan agreed to submit
figures showing the number of evic-
tion notices served for the six months
before the ret act became inoper-
ative. Mr.. Callahan suggested that
II the Government would pay living
wages TO It's employees, they could
pay the rents To this Senator Jones
replied that II salaries were in
creased the rents would go up corre-
spondingly. The tendency here, Mr..
Callahan said, is for Government en-
ployes to live in the northwest, when
their salaries correspond to rents
charged in the northeast
Argue Over sIums.
Mrs. Mary L. Slattery, a property
owner, appeared in opposition to the
pending bill. She insisted that there
were no SlumS in Washington and
that there had been no real shortage
Of rooms here during the war Sena-
tor Jones asked her If she owned
any property in the alleys and Mrs.
Slattery replied that she did. She
said, however, that she had visited
the alley dwellings and that they were
sanitary and in good shape. Senator
Copeland took issue with her, declar-
ing that they did not have as bad
slums in New York as here.
When Mr.. Petty took the stand
he said that he had never authorized
any one to send word to Senator

times. He said he had a roomer who
paid $25 month. When the last in
crease was demanded he looked
around for another place to live and
found he would, only be worse off If
he moved, the witness said.
Next witness was Mrs. L. 7. Dor
man of Clifton Terrace She, too,
testified that the service in that
apartment was poor. She said she
had one room, kitchenette and bath,
the rent of which had been $3.50.
She finally moved out. She said she
had received threatening letters from
Maurice Baskin demanding that the
rent be paid until a new tenant was
found. although she said that he had
agreed to allow her to go whenever
she wished.
Comparisons Arc Cited.
Mrs. Brown displayed before the
committee charts showing rentals
previously charged and now de-
manded in several apartment houses,
including the Damariscota, at 91s
Eighteenth street, where all but
three tenants had been served with
notices to quilt. Other apartments
which she discussed were the Grant
at $50 b street northeast, and the
Darlington Apartments, ON sixteenth
street, whore increases had been de-
manded, she said. In the latter place
she said that girls had showed her
an apartment where they have to call
upon the janitor to shovel plaster out
of the bath rooms which has dropped
off the ceilings.
Rev. John Milton Waldron of the
Shiloh Baptist Church, who has been
working for years to improve condi-
tions among the colored alley dwell
ers OF Washington, said that to his
surprise rents in alley dwellings had
been increased from 81 to $3.50 and
in some cases as high as S24.5o. These
buildings. he said, had been con-
structed years ago and many of them
were In bad condition. Any repairs
are made at the expense Of the ten
ant.
Sees Conditions Aggravated.
This raising of rent has caused
a rise in the price of rooms in order
to get the rent that must be paid The
number of people in these houses has
been increased, aggravatinG the alley
conditions"
Senator Copeland volunteered that
he had never seen such evil living
conditions in any place outside of the
National Capital.
Representative Blanton, by a series
of questions, sought to show that the
existence of a Rent Commission has
not improved alley conditions.
The witness testified, however, that
all those who had gone before the
Rent Commission had benefited there
by. He said that just as soon as the
Rent Commission had gone out of
business the landlords raised the rents.
Rev. c. A. Devaughn also told the
committee about the conditions among
the colored people. He said that rents
for them were very high and had been
almost doubled.
