WOm,ar, Is Credited
$4,000 by Court
For Foreclosure
Charges Home Improp-
erIy Sold to Protect 49,.
600 Mortgage Debt.

Arguing her own case through the
District Court of Appeals, Georgia M.
Spruill, who contended her home was
being illegally taken away from her
through foreclosure proceedings, today
was credited with approximately IS 900
on the property by the appellate court
Her suit in the lower court named
William T. Ballard, Abram r. Serven
and Harriet T. Serven as defendants.
She claimed Ballard and Serven, as
trustees, had improperly sold her
home on Iowa Circle at public auction
to protect a $4,000 mortgage indebted
ness.
The lower court refused to reconvey
the property to her, but held she was
entitled to a credit of $3,645. .83 for the
rental of the premises and $500 as q
credit for a payment made by her in
an attempt to buy the property in.
She was also given $4,000 in punitive
damages
The Court Of Appeals, however, re-
duced this punitive award to $1,000,
otherwise affirming the lower courts
decree. &
1t was pointed out, however, that
the total Indebtedness on the property
is now Sill ,999.77. 1t was not believed
the plaintiff would receive anything in
cash at this time, but that she will
ultimately receive any surplus result
ing from the $4,000 credit after the
property has been sold, providing it
brings more than enough to meet the
mortgage debt.

RAINS
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Total of 17.45 Inches Exceeds by
8 Inches the Record Set in
August, 1928.

September. 1884, will be remembered
as the month Of the great rains.
AS October bowed in beneath clear,
blue skies, Washingtonians tempora-
rily put aside their raincoats, umbrel-
las and rubbers, somewhat the worse
for wear.
Last month 1745 inches of rain fell
here, topping the former all-time
monthly record of 14.41 inches, set in
August, 1928. The mark greatly sur
passed that of the previous rainiest
September-1876-when 1881 inches
were recorded
The new monthly record was aided
over the week end, 1875 inches of rain
falling between 8 pm. Saturday and
a m. Sunday.
Rain fell to some extent on almost
three-fourths of the days in the
month, Weather Bureau records re-
vealed, and on one day, September IL,
the Capital was flooded by a cloud
burst that poured more water over the
city in an hour than in any similar
period in So years.
Gentle northwest winds will keep
Washington fair and cool today, the
bureau said.

FEWER REMOVALS
OF TENANTS SEEN
Housing Expert Cites Lack
of Vacancies in Houses
and Apartments.

Today is moving day" in Washing
ton, according to long established GUS
tom, but the number of removals
probably will be less than for some
years. Several contributing reasons
were cited by James E. Ring. housing
expert for the Public Utilities Com
mission.
In the first place, Ring said, va
cancies are at the lowest point in
many years. and the percentage of va
cancies is continually decreasing.
Report Is Borne Out.
This situation bears out the report
made by Ring before the Senate Rent
Investigating Committee last Winter
when he told the legislators the Cap
ital is facing housing shortage-a
shortage which makes itself felt most
in low-cost housing facilities.
Another reason is that there has
been virtually no apartment construc-
ton here during the past year. Oc-
tober !, high point of the Fall moving
season. always has marked many re-
movals from old apartments to newer
ones. Since there are hardly any
new apartment buildings, many moves
of this type will be eliminated.
Apartments Modernized.
Still another is that apartment
house owners in many instances have
taken steps to modernize their prop
critics during the past Summer, Ring
said He added that relations between
tenant and landlord had showed a
trend toward improvement over the
city.
Rents have risen, to a certain ex-
tent, during the past few months, the
rent expert said, but many owners and
agents are offering inducements to
present tenants in the form of no in
creases if the tenants will sign years
lease. However, he said, rental in
creases have been small, generally.
A check-up of a group of represent
ative apartment houses bore out Rings
statement that vacancies are at the
lowest point in years.

Long Losing Louisiana Grip,
Says Walmsley, Citing Vote

Contrary to the belief that Senator
Huey P. Long is in supreme political
control of Louisiana, Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley of New Orleans, who arrived
in Washington this morning, declared
the Senator's power is waning, and
that the State will be freed soon OF
Longism.
"Huey is making his last desperate
stand" said the mayor, his arch polit-
ical foe, but he's fooled the people
for the last time, and they've got
his number today.
Despite Longs loud cries of victory
in the September primaries, the peo-
pie of the country should remember
that he was unsuccessful in defeating
four anti-Long congressional candi-
dates, and that there were two he did
not even oppose because he knew that
he had not the slightest chance Of
beating them," Mayor Walmsley stated.
Lost Overton's District.
while Long formerly controlled
eight out of eight congressional dis
tricts, six turned against him in the
last election, and for the first time
ir his political career he lost the
eighth congressional district, his great
est stronghold, and the home district
of Senator Overton," said the mayor.
The vote reveals Huey Longs can
didates throughout the State consist
emily ran behind the anti-Long
ticket" the mayor pointed out, and
that it is only his success in the city
that gave him the election"
In discussing the New Orleans vote,

true indication of the feeling of the
people of the city.
