LEASES
FORD.C. ARE URGED
Uniform Forms of Contract
in District Sought by
W. A. Roberts.

Adoption of standard forms Of leas-
ing contracts In the District to avoid
misunderstanding between landlords
and tenants, was proposed today by
william A. Roberts, assistant corpora
ton counsel, acting for the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission.
Roberts wrote to H. Clifford Bangs.
president of the Washington Real
Estate Beard, asking # that organiza-
ton would cooperate in such move.
A copy of the letter was sent to Roger
Whiteford, counsel to the realty board.
If the realtors agree to the proposal,
Roberts said he would ask that the
board designate a lawyer and real
estate operator to work with him IN
selecting what they regard as one or
more ideal forms Of leasing contracts.
Such forms then would be, submitted to
the Public Utilities Commission for Its
Endorsement. The move was made IN
connection with the commissions mves-
tigation of rental conditions here, being
conducted at the request Of the Senate
District Committee.
Roberts reported that most Of the
complaints regarding rents which have
been received to date by the commits
sion deal in some way with questions
OF leasing contracts. These quesIioiiS
include retention of furniture in cases
Of tenants breaking their lease, whether
q tenant may break lease with i'm
munity in cases where the tenant is
forced to leave town to seek employ
ment and other problems arising out
of the wording Of various clauses now
contained in leases. The purpose Of
PRONUNCIATION Of standard forms, he
said, would be to acquaint the public
in a much more effective way with the
terms of the contracts they sign. It
would also be intended to eliminate
trick clauses" and other conditions
which the tenant does not readily un-
derstand, he said.
The Real Estate Board for several
years has considered the question of
standard forms, but District officials
are informed that wide variety Of
lease contracts are now employed here.

Fight Roosevelt Ban
in Courts
BY International News Service

President Roosevelt today
won a victory in his fight to
remove William E. Humphrey
from office as a member of the
Federal Trade Commission
when the other four commits
sioners passed a resolution ode
clining to further recognize"
Humphrey as a member Of this
quasi-judicial body.
The resolution was approved by
the Commission over Humphreys
written protest.
Defied Custer
Humphrey refused to recognize
the validity of the Presidents
order, issued Saturday. removing
him from office and appointing
George c. Matthews, of Wiscon-
sin, his successor.
Humphrey later was permitted
by the other members of the
commission to take part in the
regular Monday meeting at which
routine business was discussed.
The Presidents order remov-
ing him from office was effec-
tive Saturday, October Z.
Cooperation Needed
In ousting Humphrey and ap-
pointing Matthews to succeed
him, the President made it plain
that he wanted the Federal Trade
Commission manned by officials
thoroughly in sympathy 18th his
program. Highly important du-
ties, involving administration Of
the new Federal securities act,
have been entrusted to this body.
Humphrey contends, on the
other hand, the commission Is o
quasi-judicial independent office,
and that it's members cannot be
removed by presidential decree.
His term normally would expire
in 1888.
"TOO Busy to Talk"
Humphrey declined to reveal
just what his strategy would be
in his fight against the Presi-
dents order, declaring:
ri am too busy just now to
talk"
Indications were that Hum.
phreys, a Republican, would
secure the backing of the Old
Line Republican organization in
a court test of the removal order.
Matthews, also a Republican, has
aligned himself with the pro-
gressive wing of the party.
