MAyFLOWER ASKS
PROCEEDINGS STAY
Supersedeas Writ Against
Receiyership and Injunc-
ton Applied For.

The Mayfiower Hotel Co. yesterday
asked the District Court Of Appeals for
writ of supersedeas commanding the
District Supreme Court, its justices, the
five complaining bondholders. Thomas
P. Littlepage and Joshua Evans, jr, re-
ceivers, and Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
their counsel to stay all proceedings in
the receivership and injunction suit
against the hotel property pending an
appeal from the orders naming the re-
ceivers and enjoining all persons from
interfering with them.
The appellate tribunal is told that
the appointment of receivers and their
taking charge Of the assets Of the hotel.
with the consequent interference with
its management, has caused, and will
cause, decentralization Of the business Of
the hotel. The damage, 1t Is asserted.
is irreparable, and will cause great
losses to the Mayfiower Hotel Co.
through damage to good will, destruc-
ton of confidence in custom. injury to
credit with merchants and actual loss
of business, injury to the bondholderS,
creditors and stockholders.
The charge Is made that appoint
ment Of the receivers and the grant,
ing of an injunction without notice was
irregular and in violation Of the rules
of the court. 1t is pointed out that
the bill has fatal defects, and shows
on its face that the complaining bond
holders, representing only $4,000. out
of total indebtedness of $9,950,000.
were without right to maintain the suit
or to obtain the relief requested.
The application is signed by William
L. Browning as secretary of the May
flower Hotel Co. The attorneys are
william E. Leahy, Levi Cook and Ed
mund Toland.

G. 0. P. STATEMENT
UPHOLDS TARIFF
Perhaps Too Low in Cases, Is Re-
ply to Criticism Of Demo-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Republican National Committee
today found ample evidence to show
that under present conditions the rates
in the Hawley-Smoot tariff are no mcSe
than adequate, in many instances, and
that i'll some cases perhaps not high
enough"
The organizations statement used as
an Illustration of this contention the
demand of Representative Connery,
Democrat, Massachusetts,, that the tariff
Commission increase the rates on boots
and shoes so per cent over the present
20 per cent ad valorem duty.
Democratic leaders" the statement
said, have been free in their criticism
Of what they call the ubiquitous rates
in the tariff bill. yet not one Of them
has ever answered the challenge to
name the rates they would reduce.
Never" it continued, has the ne
cessity of protecting our markets and
our workers been so apparent in view of
tremendous wage cuts abroad. If our
tariff walls are not maintained and the
fullest protection accorded agriculture
industry and labor, the American STAN
dard Of living must fall to European
levels.
Blind theorists, foreign interests and
Democratic free traders are threatening
to destroy our tariff"

LOWER HOME COST
URGED BY BUILDER
Cincinnati Man Tells Realtors
of Need at Baltimore
Convention.
BY DON S. WARREN,

Etedl ESTATE EuitOA Vi otoA'
BALTIMORE. Md. May 29.-Neces-
sity of finding means for building
homes at greatly reduced cost to pre-
vent the United States from becoming
"a nation of renters" was laid before
the National Association Of Real Estate
Boards in the closing day Of its an
nual convention.
Establishment OF cheaper, long-term
financing, lower building costs and re-
lief from the tax burden now placed
on owners was one of the major prob
lens on which the 1900 delegates were
expected to act today prior to adj
journment. Proposals call for studies
in these directions.
Several hundred of the realtors are
planning post-convention tours to his
toric points and new developments in
this section. and a large group is to
visit Washington early next week.
Untold millions are being spent to
improve the production and marketing
of practically all items of human con-
sumption except the American home,
Gordon c. Beck, a Cincinnati builder,
told the home builders and subdividers'
division of the realtor body.
Sees Huge Waste.
Unless old methods of producing
homes are replaced by more efficient
and cheaper processes, he declared,
America will become a nation Of renters.
The speaker scored as one of the
great wastes in this industry the
part of the country to another, citing
a 100000 freight bill for $4,000
worth Of lumber in 1880. He declared
that lumber should be used at its
sources for home building. and that
Kansas home owners should not pay
to have Vermont slate hauled across
the country for their roofs, but should
use for this purpose some other mP =
terial that is produced nearby at much
less cost.
American home lovers can look for
ward to being able to secure in the
future houses that can be constructed
and furnished in week, and may cost,
with all modern improvements, as low
as $4,000, A. Lawrence Kocher, manag-
ing editor of Architectural Record, New
York City, declared.
Mr.. Kocher praised community ga
RACES. urged adoption Of community
kitchens, better provisions for recrea-
ton in residential developments and
predicted the coming Of new house
building materials and the use Of GEN.
trail heating plants for the houses Of a
community.
Says Costs Too High.
The advantage of lowering the cost
OF modern housing also was raised by
Arthur O. Holden, prominent New York
member of the American Institute of
Architects. The great trouble today,
he said, is that builders are producing
comparatively few homes which the
bulk of the population can afford.
Lower commodity costs should and
must mean lower taxes, Judge Arthur
j. Lacy of Detroit. chairman of the
national property owners division, told
the convention today.
Lewis c. Gray, economist of the land
economics division Of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, Department of
Agriculture, told the farm lands section
of the realtors convention there are
factors both for and against the farmer,
but that there was at East $3.50 basis
for "hopefulness"

SPEED Is SOUGHT
ON FALL PETITION
Pomerene Valves Right to Reply
to Review Plea, Asking
Early Decision.

Chance for early action by the Su-
preme Court on the petition of Albert
B. Fall for a review OF rs conviction
on charges of accepting a 100000 bride
from Edward L. Doheny increased yes
terday when Atlee Pomerene, special
Government counsel. waived his right to
reply to the application.
Pomerene urged the court to act on
the papers as quickly as possible.
The court probably will decide Mon
day whether it will grant review of
the issues raised by Fall on their merits.
The former Interior Secretary has been
sentenced to one year.
Frank j. Hogan. counsel for Fall, was
under the impression yesterday when
he filed the petition. that the court
would not be able to act until next
October after its Summer recess.
He took the view that the papers
could not go to the court until the petit
ton had been formally served on Pom
creme and the latter had been given
an opportunity to file his views.
The waiver filed by Pomerenc, how
ever, was interpreted in court circles
as putting the court in position to
announce Monday whether it will grant
q review.
