SUMMIT, N. J., April 12.?Real es
tate agents here agree that there was
never a time in the history of the

houses to rent. Some relief is expected
from the apartment house being built
in Sumniit Avenue. This will be ready
October 1. It will be the first modern
apartment in the city nnd will rep
resent nn expense of nearly $100,000
The renta are higher than a year ago,

Plainfield Cannot Meet
Demand for Houses
PLAINFIELD, N. J., April 12.-There
is a great scarcity of houses here, rent
ing from ?;10 to $60 monthly, and it is
the opiiiiop. of oflicials and othcrs that
the congestion in New York City has
had direct bearing on advanced rents
which they say people willingly pay
to get -homes. Many large old-fash
ioned dwellings have be remodelled
into apartmonts for two and '.hree
families. There is prnctically no new
building now, owing to tho high labor
and material market. Everything in
dicates that population is growing
faster than usual, especially as there
is a lack of empty houses.

Greenwich Building Boom
Bloeked bv High Prices
GREENWICH, Conn., April 12.?The
congestion in New York City is affcctlnft
houses in Greenwich, but not tho renta.
Real estate agents here say there is
great tfcarcity of unfurniahed houses.
In several instancos peoplo who have
como here from New York and other
places to rent houses for tho season,
being unablo to flnd suitablo places,
ha.e purchasod cstates through local
brokers,
One of the loading men in the build?
ing trade aaya that he knows of fifty
or more mechanics who want to come
here to work, but are unabio to lind
houses. There haa been an unuaual
demand for houses here this season
and there are a number of furnishod
onos still left. Because of this con?
gestion the population of tho town, es
timated at about 22,000, has grown
but little during the last year.
This is principally due to the fact
that there is but little building going
on because of the hi;rh cost of inatc
rials.
WESTCHESTER
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., April 12.?
Due to a great extent to the influx of
New York City residents, forced to
movc here because of advanced ronts
in the metropolis, the population of
New Rochelle has been addcd to by
from 2,000 to 3,000 persons during the
last twelve months. Mayor Frederick
H. Waldorf declared that there is not
a house in New Rochelle untenanted.
"We are in the midst of a tremendous
development boom," said tho Mayor.
"l'eopie who lived in New York for
years are flocking to New Rochelle,
and where they formerly were
rent payors they are buying homes.
This city haa never experienced
such a homebuilding boom as is
at present going on. Houses nrc
sold from the plans before even the
i'oundations are started. Old houses find
ready buyers at advantagcous terms, l
Beyond any doubt the abnormal in- j
creaso in population?and the most of ]
those who move into New Rochelle are
myors, not rent payers?is due to tht.
high rents in New York City. New
Rochelle ia making the best of con
iitions and is benefitting greatly
thereby."
Mount Vernon Rents Raised

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., April 12.?
The congestion in New York, has

;ically all apartment house owners
raised their rents on April 1. Other

YONKERS, April 12. An official
anvass of housing conditions in Yonk
ra, Mayor Williarn .!. Wallin declared,
shows that there is little building and
no vacant apartments or tenements.
"Four weeks ago I sent out a quea
tionnaire to each builder, real estate
broker and building material concern,"
said the Mayor. "The replies show
that there is hardly a vacant apart?
ment or tenement in the city. Owncrs
have been able to sell their propertyat
good prices, but some have had to
withdraw their property from the mar-*
ket, as they could not flnd a place to
move to if they made a sale. Building
is starting up, but there is little going
on so far. I think the reason for this
ia that builders have not adjuated
themselvca to tho new prico level of
labor and materials."
NASSAU
HEMPSTEAD, X. V., April 12.?Ow
injr to the congeation of population of
Manhattan scores of families have
moved to Nassau County during tho
last fow weeks, and as a result but
few vacant houaea are availablo at
Hempstead or vicinity. Fully fifteen
applicanta are clamoring for every va?
cant, houae. Renta have inereased to
some degree, keeping paco with the in?
ereased taxea that have boen placed
aince the commencemont of the war.
The high cost of labor and material
has prevented building. With lower
cost of material an unusual building
boom will follow in all Long Island
towns.

Ilousing oonditions in Queens were

"Thousanda of men nnd women are

"Hundreds of sales of houses nre
constantly hcld, and everything on the
maiket is snapped up. New buildings
about to be erected nro bought by per
sons v.ho have merely seen the pl&ns.
Rems are higher than they were a year
ago, ond there seems to be no relief
in s'eT.t.
"in the pnst year the population of
Queens has inereased by 100,000. Many
more are now rushing into the borough
from Manhattan, so that wo have an
abnormal numbcr of home seekcrs."

U. S. "Awful,"
Deelares Lady
Duff Gordon
This Because Dancer Wins
Lawsuit and $1,500 on
Breach of Contract Claim;
Says Income $465 Weekly
But She Didn't Buy Bonds
Ifearst Pays Her $100 a
Week for 'Doing Nothing'
Imt Lending Her Name
Lndy Lucy Duff Gordon, who designa
gowns for Lucille, Ltd., for which she
receives $365 a week and pcrmlta her
name to be signed to articles in the
Hearst publications she doca not write,
for which she receives $100 n week,
thinks "this is an awful country."
^ Besides giving exprossion to this bo
lief, the titled woman made the posi
tive aasertion whilo under examina
tion in supplementary proceedings on
Friday in the City Court that ahe did
not buy any Liberty bonda, although
it was her uncertam recollection that
her maid bought a $50 bond for her.
The examination of Lady Lucy,
brought by Alexander A. Mayper, for- :
mer Assistant District Attorney, was i
to ascertain what property or funds
Jhe had to satiafy a judgment of $1,500
rendered against her in favor of Misa j
Muriel Ridley, an English dancer, for !
arcach of contract.
Misa Ridley was engaged by Lady
fJuff Gordon to dance in a vaudeville
Jketch which tho creator of fashions
A-as to put on the stage, and which
,vas to act as a vehicle for the display
)f some gowns. The engagenient was
or thirty weeks at $50 a week. Be
ore the sketch was produced Miss
tidley was informed that her services
vould not be needod. She sued, ob
ained a judgment and issued execu
ion, which was returned unsatisfied
Phereupon the supplementary pro
eedings were brought.
Lady Duff Gordon was accompanied
o court by a British army officer
?Ir. Mayper conducted the examina
ioii for the judgment creditor. It
an aomething like this:
"Did you buy any Libertv bonds''"
No. Why should 1? This couhtrv
B nothing to me. I have had nothing
>ut trouble here. This is an awful
ountry."
"He is making it so," interjected tho
iritiah nrmy officer. meaning Mr
layper, who countered with a remark
hat people who paid their debts
idn't have ao much trouble.
Lady Duff (Jordon, furtiier nues
ioned on the subject of the Liberty
bonds, said, "I am not sure, but I be?
lieve my maid bought one onco for
$50."
, "Have you a contract with 'Tho New
j York American,' Star Companv or the
; International Feature Service?"
"Yes."
"How much do you get from that?"
One hundred dollars a week."
"What do you do for it?"
"Nothing."
The witness ndded that her contract
was signed in 1910 and expirea in 1920.
Her narae is signed to articles on fash
ion that appear in Hearst publications,
, although they are not written by Lady
; Duff Gordon, as her testimony indi
j cates. She uscs most of this money
derlved from the uso of her nnme in
paying the rent of her apartment at
875 I'ark Avenue, tho rent of which is
??'158 a month, although she is, not oc
, cupying the apartment.
The titled judgment debtor is living
in an eight-room house in 246th Street,
| m thc Riverdalo section of Tho Bronx,
I where she payis $150 a month rent and
I employs two servants. She pays $130
i a week for the services of a chauffeur
and the hiro of an automobile.
"I have no property?-nothing here in
America," said Lady Duff Gordon. She
nmended this answer by saying: "I
believe that I own three lots out in
! Baldwin, Long Island." She wore sev
eral i)ieces of jewelry in court and ex
plaincd that she had jewelry belonging
to her husband's family, including a
$6,000 pearl necklace. Sir Cosmo Duff
Gordon, sho testifled, owned thousands
of acre3 of land abroad, but she ha<l
no dower intorest in his property. Her
account with the Harriman National
Bank showed a balance of $550. She
said she owned 50 per cent of the Lu
cille corporation stock, tut had pledged
it for loans.
Mr. Maypor learned enough about the
financial status of Lady Lucy to issue
an attachment against the contents of !
her apartment nt 375 Park Avenue.
Shcriff David H. Knott. dispatched a
deputy thither and attached her be
longings.
Ycsterday tho nrbiter of fashion for
warded a check for the amount of her
indchtedness, whereupon Sheriff Knott
lifted the embargo.

Ex-Kaiser's Return to
Germany Is Opposed j
GUMLIGEN, Switzerland, April 12.?
(By The Associated Press).?"I do not
believe tho present German -majority
government of .Ebert and Scheidemann
of the Independcnt republican govern
ments in Germany will exist much
longer," said Dr. William Muehlon, the
former Krupp director, to The Asso?
ciated Press correspondent to-day.
"The roason is that the Socialist par
ties which voted war funds in 1914
are too closely attached to the im
perialist pan-German and junker re
gimea and are discredited abroad."
On the question of the present posi
tion and the future of the former Ger?
man Emperor, Dr. Muehlon said:
"It would be far better for us for
the Allies to keep the former Kaiser
than to return him to us, because we
should not know what to do with him.
We do not desiro his return to Ger?
many."
Asked if he thought the former Em?
peror was responaible for the war, Dr.
Muehlon replicd:
"Yes, he was. If the Kaiser had
raised n tinger against Vienna war
lever would have come."

Governor Alfred E. Smith last night
at the annual Jefferaon Dinner of the
National Democratic Club at the Hotel
Astor, charged the Republican-coiv
trolled State Assembly with fostering
Bolshevism, because the Assembly
seems disposed to refuse to pass vari?
ous bills advocated by the Governor.
Among these ai^e bills providing the
eight-hour day for women, minimum
wages for women and childfen, health
insurance for women and munieiiial
ownership for cit.ies. He said there are
more than eighty-two men in the As?
sembly willing to voto favorably on
these measures, if the Assembly bosses
would let them.
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
dwelt almost wholly on national issues,
praising President Wilson nnd the
league of nations.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, sketched the work
of the navy in policing, with the aid of
the British and the Italians, the N'orth
and Adriatic seas, thus practically in
terning the submarines.
Governor Smith, in his attack nn the
lower house at Albany, aaid in Part:
"Nohody in this stat^ owes more to
