WOMEN ASK COURT
TO RETURN FUNDS|
Four Bring Suit Charging
Fraud in Real Estate
Transaction.

The District Supreme Court was
asked today by four elderly women to
order returned to them their savings
which they invested in an allegedly
fraudulent real estate transaction.
They say unless the court comes to
their aid they will become objects Of
public charity.
The suits are directed against Gibbs
L. Baker, 815 Fifteenth street; his wife,
Mrs. Caroline P. Baker of the Brighton
Hotel, and John w. Hayes, 1457 Park
road, and L. Karlton Mosteller, Wood
ward Building, salesman.
The plaintiffs are Grace Naomi
Tucker, 1928 Rhode Island avenue
northeast, and Margaret l.. Downey
1879 North Carolina avenue northeast,
hotel maids; Helen Dingess, Takoma
Park, Md, children's nurse, and
Fannie Meeks, 1882 Potomac avenue
southeast.
Through Attorney Carl A. Marshall,
the court is told the four women were
persuaded to buy lots in North Beach
Park, Md, through promises that the
properties would be resold for them
at profit estimated in two cases at
$50 per lot.
The plaintiffs stated that they in
vested a total of $1,988 and gave

In addition, Simon said, the owners
of the small houses lose thousands Of
dollars a year because of thefts.
when this type of house becomes
vacant" he declared, "as a general
rule the neighbors start to remove
the stairway and other wood in the
house for kindling. Vandals also
remove the windows and plumbing
fixtures to sell for few cents what
cost the owner many dollars to re-
place. In Is years of experience, and
in handling hundreds of this type
of house, I have yet to see the police
arrest any one for this damage unless
the owner or agent first found the
parties who stole the fixtures. In
fact, on three different occasions, I
have had entire houses, including
bricks, stolen without an arrest until
I myself found the parties"
Simon described as greatly exag-
gerated that part of the Relief Com
mittee's report relating to alleged in
sanitary conditions in homes occu-
pied by relief clients.

concerned I will gladly make this
deal with them, because as it Is the
owner does not receive three months
rent out of six from relief tenants"
Charges Policy Unfair.
Blame for the inability Of owners
or rental agents to collect rents from
the relief tenants was placed by Simon
on the "wishy-washy' policy Of the
Relief Committee. This policy, he de-
clared, has been unfair to the land
lord, unfair to the tenant, and unfair
to the taxpayers of Washington. For
instance, one month they will pay the
complete rent, the next they will pay
no rent, the next month they will pay
q half months rent, and now they
send the check to the tenants; con-
sequently most of them do not pay
any rent"
Moreover, Simon said, ait Is a fact
well known to real estate men gen.
orally, that any house renting for less

be liability than an asset because
the repairs to this type Of house is
far larger in proportion to the rent
than on better class of home"
Urges Rental Guarantee.
A cure for some of these "evils,"
according to Simon, would be for the
Emergency Relief Committee to rent
the properties and guarantee the
rents. Under the present arrange
ment, he said, an agent has no way
of determining whether prospective
tenant is on the relief rolls until
after a dwelling has been rented and
the first months rent is due. Then
the tenant, he explained, will claim
he cannot pay the rent because the
check received from the committee did
not call for the amount expected.
Simon also claimed owners of the
small houses suffer loss even before
the tenants get on the relief rolls. He
said in number of cases he had not
pressed for rental collections for two
