Then suddenly serious, he turned
to the International News Service
reporter on the platform of the

When Wood fled Paris, it was
with the intention, he said later
of leaving behind the night life
that had attracted him after his

his disappearance from Biarritz

A few hours before he left here
for Madrid, Wood said he had come
into funds through payment OF q
debt by Charles Wacker, of Chicago
whose guest Wood had been. This
money enabled Wood to settle his
bills in San Sebastin, including one
of 900 pesatas for his luxurious
hotel suite here.

When Wood and l had luncheon
yesterday in his suite, he emptied
his pockets to prove to me that he

employees from undue exaction in
the matter OF rentals.
While he is doubtful that he tas
much legal authority to intervene
in a prospective rent crisis when
the present law expires in May, he
made a specific promise today to
do everything possible to alleviate
the situation.
Owing to tire fiIibuster i'm the
Senate, rent legislation is dead for
the present session of Congress, a
spokesman for the President said
today. The President does not be-

He will use all his power, how
ever, to remedy any abuse that may
arise. If ways and means can be

increase of reIl when the law ex-
