ART LOVING LANDLORD
LOSES ON RESPONDENTS

NEW YORK, October 10 (N.ANA.) j.
Albert Strunsky, Greenwich Villages
phuanthropic landlord, has been nerv-
GUS of late about having respondent
young women on the premises too long.
He let, one stay on for six months with
out paying rent. When he told her
that she simply must go she begged
for one more night, saying that she
might be able to raise the money. That
night she attempted suicide.
That's why he now refuses to let
pessimistic girl tenants live on his
bounty too long. He now puts them
in taxicabs and gives the chauffeur
orders and pay to take them TO the
Martha Washington Hotel for women.
So eager for art is Strunsky that he
lets some tenants drift along indefinite-
ly, finally transferring them to what
his tenants know as the house of last
resort" Noisy or bootlegging tenants,
however go out on their necks at once.
