)cure official returns before its final
run-Lankford beat Pusey by 597
votes; Kerbin won over Sanford by
Asst; and Lynch scored a majority Of
1868 over Hillman. So, county govern
ment will be transacted by the same
officials, with the exception of Mr..
Lynch; and, while some people didn't
vote that way, still the will of the
majority rules in this good old United
States Of America, and all good
Democrats should accept the will of
the people and stand by the vote.
There wasn't very much attention
paid to the vote for Governor O'Conor
and his opponents. This political
race was very much like the boat
race between the schooner "America".
and British ship that was pulled.
over half century ago.
The story is told that the monarch
of England was viewing the boat
race from his palatial yacht, and
when the crafts hove into sight on
the last leg, he asked one of his at
tendants:
"What boat is in the Iead?"
"The America, your majestey,"
was the reply.
"Where are the others ?"
"There are no others ?" replied the
attendants.
So it was with the Governor. When
he piles up over $4,000 votes and

Tenants Lose Appeal,
Must Give Up Dogs
Or Apartments
Court Holds Rent Act
Does Not Freeze
Pet-Keepinq Privilege

The Municipal Court Of Appeals
yesterday upheld decision of Judge
Brice Clagett of Municipal Court in
suit to evict three tenants from
the Marlyn Apartments, In which
their dogs-two cocker spaniels and
a dachshund - were the central
figures. The higher court ruled also
that the right to keep dogs was not
frozen" in the Emergency Rent
Act
The dog had been ordered
by Judge Clagett to get rid of the
dogs within 80 days or move. Instead,
they appealed to the higher court.
The eviction suit defendants are
Whitney P. Nee. engineering ex-
| aminer of the RFC, and Samuel l..
Samuel, attorney. each the owner
of cocker spaniel. and Philip w.
Copelin. War Department employe,
owner Of dachshund. The spaniels
are Tonia and Coffee and the dachs-
hund Baibu.'
In September Judge Almond w.
Scott Of Municipal Court dismissed
! an eviction suit against the three
tenants, but new trial was granted.
Judge Clagett then upheld conten-
tions of the apartment house man.
agement that clause in the leases
prohibited the keeping of pets.
Permission Revoked.
Associate Judge Nathan Cayton Of
Municipal Court of Appeals wrote
yesterday that the Judgment OF the
Landlord and Tenant Branch of
Municipal Court was predicated
upon violation of the following pro-
vision Of the respective leases:
No animals or pets of any kind
shall be kept harbored in the leased
premises, without express consent in
writing by the lessor, and such con-
sent. If given, shall be revocable by
the lessor at any time"
The landlord, Judge Cayton's
opinion said, had given informal
oral permission to keep dogs" but
such permission was orally re-
voked" on March II last and con-
f1rmed in letter of April 2, mott
flying the tenants that they must
cease to keep their dogs in the
leased premises by May /, 1912, or
surrender the premises
Sought Rent Act Aid.
The appellants, Judge Cayton
pointed out in yesterdays decision,
contended "the provisions Of the
District Of Columbia Emergency
Rent Act prohibited the plain
tiff from maintaining" proceedings
against them, claiming the privilege
to keep the dogs was frozen" by the
Rent Act. They refer to section II
90 of the act, which defines serv-
ices as light, heat. etc. and any
other privilege or facility connected
with the use or occupancy of hous-
ing accommodations" continued
Judge Cayton in the opinion.
In conclusion, the Municipal Court
of Appeals decision said:
1--WE rule that, in the circum-
stances of this case, the right to
keep dogs on the premises was nei-
ther privilege nor facility within
the meaning of the Rent Act. We
are satisfied that no rights of these
tenants have been invaded, that !
there was clear showing of a vio-
lation of the terms of the lease, and |
that the judgment below was correct |
and should be affirmed"

By the Associated Press.


A bunch Of the boys with baggy
clothes who cover the news in these
parts emptied their bulging pockets
today and told the story of the little
press pass that grew and multiplied.
A little over a year ago, they re-
called, a White House card would
admit reporter or photographer to
almost any inner sanctum in this
bedlam on the Potomac.
Now, properly to cover the war
time Capital-on guard against
spies. saboteurs and screwballs-it
requires about 40 separate passes
badges, cards, armbands and car
stickers. And that does not admit
to at least 80 temporary buildings
where each reporter must be signed
in and out and be accompanied by
a Government guide" Nor does it
include the extra passes photog-
