FORT UNE SEIZED
by j. s., SHE
SUES
Woman, Citizen of Hawaii and
Bremen, Asks 500, 900
Of D. c. Court

Mrs. Beta Isenberg, citizen OF
the Hawaiian Islands and also a
citizen OF the free city OF Bremen,
Germany, today filed suit in the
District Supreme Court against
Frederick C. Hicks, alien property
custodian and Frank White, Treas
urer Of the United States, for the
recovery of property valued at
more than 100000, seized on the
ground that Paul Isenberg, the hus-
band, was a citizen OF Germany
and also of. Hawaii, both under the
old monarchical regime and under
the United States, which annexed
the islands July z, 1898.
Mrs. Isenberg, represented by At
torneys Adkins & Nesbit, says that
her husband became a citizen OF
Hawaii in January, 1874, and at the
same time was elevated into the no
bility by the King of Hawaii and
became a member of the upper
house Of the legislature under the
Kings regime. Hawaiian laws at
that time, Mrs. Isenberg claimed,
permitted dual citizenship.
1t is claimed by Mrs. Isenberg
that their family became citizens OF
Bremen in 1899, and that by an act
of Congress of June II, 1900, the
American legislature continued in
force the laws of Hawaii, of both
the monarchical and the republican
forms, and declared that all per-
sons citizens of Hawaii on August
liz, 1898, became citizens of the
United States. Isenberg, it is con-
tended, and his family were citizens
at that time of Hawaii, and the
fact that they later became citizens
of Bremen did not alter their status
with respect to being citizens of the
United States as well. Mrs. Isen.
berg asks the court to recognize
her husband and her as American
citizens, and to return their seized
property.
Isenberg. who died in 1908, was
active in the development of the
sugar industry in the islands, and
his wife was active in charitable and
philantbrCpic works.

Farmers Still Need
Help, Declares Ex-
Gov. Lowden

Despite optimistic statements
of Eastern financiers the Amer
lean agricultural situation has
not cleared up, it was declared
today by Ex-Governor OF
Illinois Frank O. Lowden, fol-
lowing conference with the
President.
Lowden, one of the biggest
farmers in Illinois, condemned
those who seek by sets of figures
to prove to their own satisfac-
ton that the farmer is in good
shape.
"One of the chief drawbacks
to the solving of the farm prob
lem is the refusal Of so many
responsible men to admit true
conditions" he said.
Lowden believes the farmers
themselves must solve their
problems, principally through
cooperative marketing opera
tions.

ity in Representation

The stormiest session in the
history of the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations is predicted for
tonight, when that organization
meets in the board room Of .he
District building, over the ad-
visory council plan.
Rumors of secession by varicEs
member associations unless the

past several days.

Attitude of Suter.
Delegates of several associations

no way in which the councils plan
could be revised before the election

least two weeks to get an amend
ment through.
George M. Yeatman, president Of
lot
q expected to launch an assault on
the present plan and urge instead
an amendment to the federation =
constitution such as offered by
Charles Baker, former president Of
the federation, which provides a
larger council than now planned,
with members distributed GEOGRAPHIC
cally, so that the northwest will not
have heavy majority.
Mr.. Baker, it is understood, plans
20 withdraw the amendment.
Lead by Northwest.
OF the twenty-six candidates, all
but three are from the northwest.
Two are from the northeast and
one from the southeast. None are

PLAN To STOP
PASSPORT
FEES
Charges for Visas Would Be
Abolished on Reciprocal Basis
With Other Nations

Notes have been addressed to
Great Britain, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, and other nations pro-
posing to abolish passport Visas
fees on a reciprocal basis, the State
Department announced today.
Under the plan worked OUT by
Secretary OF State Kellogg, in ac-
cordance with the Fish act passed
by Congress, the fees for passports
issued to travellers or visitors,
classed as non-immigrants, would
be entirely abolished. At the pres
ant time a fee of $40 is charged to
visa a passport.
The passport system will be re-
tanned. however, it was announced,
as it is needed to keep check on
immigrants coming into the United
States. in accordance with the new
immigration law. The abolition OF
fees will go into effect as soon as
any Of the individual nations APP
preached agree to abolish fees they
no charge to visa American pass
ports. None of the nations have sc
far been heard from.

BAL HAS
NEWRENT
PLAN
Former Delaware Senator
Does Not Expect Orgy OF
Increases Next Month

New developments in the local
rent situation were forecast by a
visit which former Senator L.
Heisler Ball Of Delaware, now
chairman of the District Rent
Commission, paid to the White
House today.
A plan whereby potential rent
increases may be reduced to a
minimum after May %, when the
life of the Rent Commission ex-
pires, is now being worked up by
the former Senator, who is max
ing a general survey of housing
conditions here.
Details of Plan Secret.
The details of the plan were not
disclosed by Ball today, but he
asked the White House to obtain
certain information for him relating
to the average salaries paid the
here.
Armed with this information, and
data relating to the number Of va
cant houses and apartments in the
city, Ball is hopeful the withdrawal
of rent legislation will be accom-
panied by the least amount of fric-
ton and trouble between landlords
and tenants.
II do not look for any real rent
gouging after the rent law expires
next month";" Mr.. Ball said at the
White House. "Of course. there
will be certain rent increases, but
think we have taken steps to
keep them down.
TT is my belief that the organiza-
ton or real estate men in Wash
ington will cooperate with us in
maintaining reasonable basis for
rents. They are pursuing what
seems to me to be reasonable and
wise policy. I think we may count
on their cooperation In resisting
gouging."
Law Still Looms.
Commissioner Ball pointed out
that. If an orgy Of unrestrained
rent boosting come in Washington
when the law expires, Congress
certainly will pass more drastic rent
legislation at it's coming session in
December. He said real estate men
understood this to be the case and
they also are well aware of the
fact that this rent law would have
been passed at the last session had
there been sufficient time to do it.
Mr.. Ball indicated today that he
is working on plan which will
bring about a better relationship
between landlord and tenant and
will eliminate the prospect Of diff
cuIties next month when the rent
commission dies. He declined, how
ever, to say anything about it at
this time on the grounds that pre-
mature publicity would ruin it's
chances of success.
