Health Commissioner Copeland ap
-aircd before Magistrate Harris yes?
terday ?'"I preferred charges of co?
ercion against Mark W. Brenen, owner
--'the apartment houses at 50, 52, 54
?id 56 Manhattan A??nue.
A summons has been Issued for
g-enen. who lives at 164. West Seventy
eighth Street, according to Theodore L.
faugh. Assistant District Attorney,
?ho will press the case again?. the
landlord before Magistrate Harris next
Tuesday.
Brenen is accused of threatening his
tenants with eviction after one of their
number had complained to the Board
of Health that he was not supplying
sufficient heat. Commissioner Cope
land based hir- complaint on informa?
tion supplied by Charles H. Coleman,
?se of Brenen 's tenants.
Threats Both Oral and Written
It is charged that the landlord placed
letters in the letter boxes of his ten?
ants warning them that since some one
had complained of him he proposed to
evict all of them. He followed these
letters, it is alleged, by oral threats
of eviction.
On January 13 last, the records show,
Brenen was fined $100 by Magistrate
Brough for having failed to furnish
sufficient heat. He was also criticized,
it is declared, by Judge Ellenbogen for
instituting eviction proceedings against
two school teachers whose pay was
being heid up.
Another complaint against Brenen
was that he permitted the heat to drop
n an apartment where a case of scarlet
fever was bi ing treated.
"In some instances tenants have been
evicted by landlords because they
brought their legitimate grievances to
us," said Dr. Copeland yesterday. "We
do not propose to tolerate this sort of
thing any longer.
"The law provides that apartments
must be sanitary and warm, and it is
the duty of every citizen to give notice
to the Health Department when the
laws are violated. Furthermore, it is
the right of tenants to aid this de?
partment in correcting such evils and
abuses."
New Mortgage Plan Fought
The Real Estate Owners' Protective
Association met la^st night at the Hotel
Majestic to plan ? protest against thf
bill introduced by Senator Gibbs at
Albany for a graduated increase in the
interest rate on real estate mortgages,
the rate to advance according to the
proportion of the property covered by
the mortgage.
The bill was denounced as inspired
by financial interests and calculated
to ruin real estate owners and dis?
courage real estate development.
Magistrate Joseph S. Schwab, presi?
dent of the association, was authorized
to appoint a committee ro oppose the
measure at Albany. David Hirshfield,
Commissioner of Accounts, pledged the
cooperation of the ftayor and the
"__*?or's Committee on Rent Profiteer?
ing, in the fight.
Uader the proposed law interest oi
reai? estate mortgages would rang)
from 6 per cent to 9 per cent, accordinj
o whether 60 per cent or 90 per cen
of the value of the property was cov
?red by the mortgage. A system woul?
be provided for the appraisal of th
property to be mortgaged. Those a
the meeeting declared that when the;
have made the significance of the bil
clain it cannot be passed. _
Ira J. Ettinger said that superficial?;
the measure - seemed to make real es
t?te an attractive investment fo
money lenders. Actually, he asserted
it was a joke, and a tragic one so fa
as real estate men were concerned.
Lenders Hold Upper Hand
Borrowers, lie asserted, always wen
at the mercy of the lenders and undei
the proposed law it would be the lende
who would determine the value of th?
property to be mortgaged. The lender
te declared, would invariably under
value the property, thus increasing th<
proportion to be covered by the mort
trage and increasing his interest rati
accordingly. The immediate resul
would be that banks and trust com
panieg would call in all past due mort
piges now running at 5Vk and 6 pe?
cent to reinvest their money at 71,-. pe:
?nt or more, and the final resul
-ould be "ruination and stag*natioi
so far as real est?t? development
projects were concerned."
Job H. Schreier said that he 4iad
written to Senator Gibbs to find out '
who was behind the hill, but that the
only information he received was that
it was introduced "by request." Joseph
Rosenschweig and others spoke against
the bill. Commissioner Hjrshfleld said
that conditions were so ominous that
he had entered into a contract to sell
the last piece of tenement house prop?
erty that he owned.
City Plan Wins Support
Increased support for a city hous?
ing program as a relief from rent
profiteering was noticeable yesterday,
officials said, when it became more
evident that investors would keep out
of the building business if the bills
pending at Albany are passed. The
United Real Estate Owners' Associa?
tion officially joined in this.movement,
and Fiorella H. La Guardia? President
of the Board of Aldermen, and Bor?
ough President Curran of Manhattan
l took up arms in its behalf.
Builders and investors gave up the
last hope of defeating or greatly modi?
fying the housing bills and prepared to
await results before making any
further moves. While they admit that
some relief for tenants is necessary
they agree in declaring that the laws
will simply put a stop to all private
building, and that by the time the
next Legislature meets the situation
will be worse than ever.
"I hope I shall be proved wrong in
my fears as to the result of the legis?
lation," said Robert E. Dowling, chair?
man of the legislative committee oi
the Real Estate Board. "Building is
the only cure, and I can see no chance
of much construction with such laws
on the books. But they should be
fairly and fully tried."
Alfred E. Marling, president of thi
Chamber of Commerce, who was ac?
tively at work last summer on th<
housing situation as a member of th<
Governor's Commission on Reconstruc?
tion, expressed fears as to the result!
of the new laws.
"There are three things needed t(
meet the housing situation," he said
"They are brains, good will and money
There are brains enough, if they ge
a chance to work. Just now there i?
no good will and the chances of get
ting money are growing smaller.
"This legislation, I fear, will no
settle the question. It may help ii
some cases. But it has the great evi
of scaring out money, whicn we nee
if anything real is going to be don?
Who will want to invest in a propert
which he knows will be worth less an
less for some time, and on which hi
income is to be determined by cor
stant court actions?
"My idea would be to establish arb;
tration boards under the control of
central authority, to be composed c
such people as Lawson Purdy, Lillia
D. Wald, Robert W. De Forest, Jame
P. Holland and Allan Robinson. Board
like the draft boards should be chose
and sit in all parts of the city. Rei
facts should be brought out. Publ
opinion, I think, would be as effecth
against the rent-hogs as the propose
laws will be."
Would Build on Cantonment
A new plan was suggested by Maj<
La Guardia, who urged the Mayor
have the city take over the naval ca'
tonment at Pelham Bay and turn it in
accommodations for citizens. He d
clared 3,000 families could be
housed. He also urged that the ci
build tenements for 20,000 families ?
city-owned property, and argued th
Corporation Counsel Burr's opini?
holding the erection of permane
tenements by the city illegal did n
take into consideration the power
the Board of Health to act.
Stewart Browne, president of t
United Real Estate Owners' Associ
tion, added that organization to t
ranks of those who want a city housi:
program when he followed a predicti
that under the proposed laws the
would be no private building with tl
recommendation :
"If the city itself would start o
with a -building program for the ne
three years for 'workers' houses' I ha
no doubt that labor unions would agi
not to demand wage increases for
year or more and would also increa
their daily output. Unless the stt
or city takes a hand in housing th?
will be little new housing for worki
in the next few years."
Owners of business office propei
replied to the charges of the Off
Tenants' League that they w<
profiteereing with a specific denial,
was declared that, taken as a whole, t
property south of Chambers Street h
not paid an average return of 2 j
cent for the lr.st ten years.
Horace S. Ely & Co., agents of 1
Langdon Building, at 309 Broadw
whose tenants started the league, mi
public figures as to that building. M.
Ely said that even with the increa:
asked the structure would not paj
per cent, and that the rental was be
held low because of a desire to dr
tenants from the lower business s
tion. ?
The actual profits on the buildi
the books of the company show, h
averaged under 3 per cent since 1!
They have been as follows, beginn
with 1912: 3.57, 3, 2.75, 2.25, 2.44, .*
and 4.71 per cent. In 1^19 the build
was completely tenanted for the f
time and increases of about 80 per
cent were asked of those whose leases
ran out. Some of the tenants are still
holding under old low-priced leases,
so that the new rate of $4 a foot will
increase these nearly 400 per cent,
though the average is about 100 per
cent.
Mr. Ely said that between 1914 and
1919 the coal bill jumped from $4,963
to $10,633, and the bill for labor from
$?1,644.65 in January, 1914, to $3,302.28
last January. There has been a wage
increase to the employees within the
last few weeks.
Mrs^ Samuel Leavitt, wife of the
chairman of the legislative committee
of the Office Tenants' League, was
charged yesterday by the tenants of
102 West 137th Street, with profiteer?
ing. Twenty negroes appeared before
the Mayor's committee and asserted
that their rents had been raised from
! $28 and $30 last November, when she !
bought the building, to $40 and $42.
A subpoena for Mrs. Leavitt to appear
before the committee was issued.
Justice Robitzek, in the Municipal
Court, the Bronx, yesterday issued an
order directing Martin J. Burke, clerk
or the court, to sign warrants for the I
eviction of fifty-seven tenants living tn !
the properties of Charles Justcr, at
626 Trinity Avenue and 625 Jackson
Avehue. This action was taken after i
Mrs. Alice Cavanaugh, representing the I
tenants, had refused to turn over to |
the court $1,925 which is alleged to bo !
due the landlord for the last month's !
rent.
The tenants paid their rent to Mrs. j
Cavanaugh, when the landlord raised j
the rentals $2 a month, with the under
standing that she should keep it until
the matter was settled in court. On ?
Wednesday Justice Robitzek ordered '
Mrs. Cavanaugh to appear in court
yesterday and turn over the money. ?
When the woman appeared she pro- ?
tested that the tenants had paid her i
only $1,600, and asserted that she had J
no intention of turning over more than I
that amount to the court. Justice
Robitzek then ordered the warrants |
signed.
Governor Offers
Aid in Rent War
From a Staff Correspondent !
ALBANY, March 25.?Governor Smith
told The Tribune to-day that be stood
ready to help the Legislature in every
way in its efforts to relieve the hous- |
ing situation in New York City and
other parts of the state.
"It is putting it mildly," said the ?
Governor, "to say that the conditions j
growing out of the housing situation ;
are intolerable, especially in New York
City."
The Governor will send a special
message on the housing situation to
the Legislature to-morrow. Accompany?
ing the message will be the reports
of the housing committee of the Gov?
ernor's reconstruction commission, of
which John.Alan Hamilton, of Buffalo,
was chairman.
Associated with the Governor's hous?
ing committee in its investigation into j
the conditions in New York City was a
special committee headed by Walter j
Stabler, of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company. There were two ?
other members of this New York City
committee, Walter Lindner and Ciar- j
ence R. Kelsey, representing loaning |
iastitutions which lend on building ?
construction.
Landlords to Fight
Legislative leaders of both parties |
expect the twelve anti-rent profiteer?
ing bills to be passed next Tuesday or
Wednesday with little or no opposi- |
tion. The landlords at whom the bills ?
are aimed have sent word to the Leg?
islative leaders that they intend to I
fight. I
The landlords hold that the bills
take away their property rights; legis?
lative leaders declare that the Legis?
lature has precedent upon precedent .
for the proposed legislation. When
the usury laws were enacted in almost
every instance loan sharks raised the
cry that they were unconstitutional
and violative of property rights. Yet
in each instance the courts sustained
the legislative restrictions on interest
which might be enacted on loans.
?Commenting on the anti-rent-profi?
teering bills, ?Simon L. Adler, majority
leader in the Senate, said:
?'The bills were considered from
every angle before they were intro?
duced. We have no doubt that if they
are attacked in the courts the constitu?
tionality of every one of them will be
upheld. There is plenty of precedent to
sustain the right of the Legislature to
afford relief from emergencies such as
now confronts us."

Railroads Agree to Adopt
Daylight Saving Schedules
Daylight saving will go into effect at
2 o'clock Sunday with less confusion
than was at first expected. This was
assured yesterday, when the railroads
announced that immediate emergency
steps would be taken to relieve the^aitu
ation for commuters. Permanent ar?
rangements will be made at a meeting
to be held on Saturday in Jersey City.
Among the railroads which joined the
New York Centra] and New Haven
roads yesterday in deciding to conform
to New York daylight saving were the
Lackawanna and the Central Railroad
of New Jersey.
The greatest confusion is expected in
New Jersey through the failure of the
Legislature to pass the Eldridge day?
light saving bill. Governor Edward I.
Edwards yesterday issued a statement
to the people of New Jersey deprecating
the failure of the Senate to pass the
measure, and appealing to all to observe
the change in time voluntarily.
Appeal to the People
"As the only means left of warding
off the endless complications Sunday
and thereafter," the statement reads,
"I ask the people of. New Jersey to
adopt voluntarily the daylight saving
regulations beginning at 2 a. m., when
the clock is to be put ahead one hour,
such a course being likely to help New
Jersey conform with the daylight sav?
ing law in effect in New York State."
Governor Edwards concluded by
stating he would use every effort to
get the Senate to pass the measure on
Monday, and hoped that oy the example
of voluntary public observance the Sen?
ate would comply with public opinion.
The manufacturers of Hoboken at a
special meeting in the Hoboken Cham?
ber of Commerce yesterday dedded to
conform to the New York change of
time, despite the fact a local ordinance
does not go into effect until April 25.
The directors of the Public Service
Corporation, which controls and oper?
ates the trolley services of New Jersey,
will meet to-day to decide on action.
The City Commissioners of Montclair,
N. J., yesterday decided to conform
with New York, irrespective of any
action taken by the New Jersey Legis?
lature.
The statement issued by the Lacka?
wanna Railroad regarding the change
to daylight saving time said the change
would be effective at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning on all suburban trains on the
Morris and Essex division, including
the Hampton, Phillipsburg, Chester,
Sussex, Passaic and Delaware branches.
Through passenger trains Nos. 1 to 43,
inclusive, will continue to run on pres?
ent schedule.
Postoffice on New Time
It is understood that the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
will continue to time their messages
according to' Eastern standard time.
tutionality of the measures was voiced
by several other legislative leaders. It
is known that they were submitted to
some of the best legal minds in the
state and that the provisions of each
were gone over carefully by State
Attorney General Newton before they
wer? made the subject of yesterday's
conference in the offi<?e of Senator J.
Henry Walters, majority leader ot the
upper house.
Assemblyman George N. Jesse, Re?
publican, of New York, who will have
charge of the bills in the lower house,
declared the opposition to the bills
came solely from the rent gougers.
"The real people in the real estate
business in New York City," said As?
semblyman Jesse, "are for the bills.
They have gone on record in favor of
them. Fly-by-night organizations, made
up of fly-by-night real estate specu?
lators, are opposed to the measures.
But substantial organizations, such as
the New York Real Estate Board of
Broker?, the biggest organization of
real estate men in New York City, are
on record for the measures."
Landlords Favor Bills
Assemblyman Jesse showed a tele?
gram received to-day from H. M. Silver
man, secretary of the Upper Manhattan
Property Owners' Association, which
road:
"Upper Manhattan Property Owners*
Association has gone on record as op?
posed to unwarranted increases in rent
or 7naintaining exorbitant rents. It
also has agreed to investigate any
member of the association charged
with rent profiteering, and upon find?
ing him guilty will expel him. The
The New York postoffice will abide by
daylight saving time.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
in a statement issued by its president
yesterday, said all schedules in New
Jersey would be altered to conform to
daylight-saving time. Additional notice
will be issued covering through trains
to and from points in the State of
Pennsylvania. The statement advises
communities and individuals in New
Jersey to advance their watches Sun?
day morning in conformity to this
change.
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plant and Structures, issued an order
yesterday directing observance of day?
light-saving time on the bridges, fer?
ries and busses.
W. J. Gilpin, manager of the New
York Clearing House, said yesterday
that all banks ir. the city undoubtedly
would conform to the new time, and
S. E. Mead, secretary of the Merchants'
Association, made ? similar statement
for the mercantile houses.
The City of Newark yesterday re?
fused to follow Governor Edwards's
request for voluntary observance, al?
though the City Commissioners adopt?
ed a resolution in favor of daylight
saving.
The Jersey City Chamber of Com?
merce distributed a thousand circulars
announcing the adoption of daylight
saving, and these were posted in fac?
tories. William G. Stanton, of the
chamber, said yesterday 90 per cent
of the members were in favor of the
scheme.
Frank Ferguson, president of the
Union Trust Company in Jersey City,
said the Jersey City Bankers' Associa?
tion would hold a meeting to decide
what action to take. William J. Field,
president of the Commercial Trust
Company in that city, a Federal Re?
serve institution, said his bank would
adopt daylight saving.
Philadelphia Keeps Old Time
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.?Mayor
J. Hampton Moore to-day signed the
city ordinance repealing the daylight
saving law for Phiadelphia. At the
same time he signed the resolution 0
city council urging Congress to enact
a Federal daylight saving law. Phila?
delphia repealed the ordinance, passed
last fall, because it conflicted with the
state law making Eastern standard
time the legal time for Pennsylvania,
and because of the confusion it would
cause in the absence of a general ac?
ceptance of a daylight, saving law.
The local Stock Exchange will open
and close with the New York Exchange,
but the banks for the present will not
change their hours, it having been de?
cided to wait to see how the New York
change works out.
Camden, N. J., across the Delaware
River from this city, which followed
Philadelphia in adopting a daylight
saving law, to-day also repealed the
law.
?
association favors a thirty-day stay in
summary- proceedings, and also for a
raise in rent not oftener than once a
year."
Senator Walters, leader of the Re
! publican majority in the upper house,
! said of the bills:
"While these measures have the ear?
marks of being very drastic, yet it is
my opinion that any reasonable land?
lord, will not be seriously affected by
them. Gougers and profiteers certain
i Iv will find that this legislation has
? teeth."
j Speaker Sweet said:
"The study of this situation has been
going on for nearly a year. The condi?
tions have grown worse and emphasize
I an increased necessity to pass laws
I which will correct a serious situation.
The investigation of the housing situa?
tion, especially in New York City,
! shows that there is a crying need for
| relief legislation.
1 "The measures are not aimed at any
; landlord who has been just, nor is it
i expected that they will do other than
j stimulate construction. They are not
! conclusive, for the legislators are keep
i ing their- minds open for any sugges
! tions which will improve them in any
way. Our sole aim is a fair and
! equitable solution of the situation."
In the Senate to-day the bills were
j amended to include all of Westchester
i County. They will bo similarly
? amended in the Assembly. In their
i present form they only apply to cities
of the first class?New York, Buffalo
and Rochester.
Some of the upstate legislators from
other cities?cities of the second class
especially?want the provisions of the
bills to apply to their localities also.

House Famine Threatens
To Depopulate Detroit
Special Dispatch to Ths Tribune
DETROIT, March 25.?This city is"
facing an exodus of householders, be?
cause of an estimated shortage of from
35,000 to 50,000 homes. Hundreds of
skilled workers attracted hero by wage
opportunities are returning to their
old towns where their families "may
have the comforts and necessities of
home."
Regardless of this fact, however,
laborers who have heard of Detroit's
"golden streets" and "playtime hours"
continue to pour into the city at the
rate of 2,000 weekly. Warnings of the
probable exodus have been issued by
the Community Union, which has in?
vestigated the situation. One official
prediction is that if rents continue to
increase a well organized movement to
depopulate Detroit may be expected
and that it will act as a warning for
others to stay away.
Causes of high rents and house
shortage are explained as follows:
An unprecedented slump in build?
ing, accentuated by labor shortage and
building material and increased prices
of both.
The rush of thousands of machinists
to Detroit, attracted by the reports of
high wages and easier living.
The appearance of thousands of
(Speculators whose aim is to make
money at the expense of newcomers.
Mrs. Hummer Sues Hotel
Clerk for $10,000 Damages
Mrs. Sarah M. Hummer, wife of
Charles E. Hummer, through her coun?
sel, Colonel Thomas B. Felder, 14 Wail
Street, yesterday brought a suit for
$10,000 damages in the Federal District
Court against John Ranking a clerk at
the Hotel Gerard, 123 West Forty
fourth Street. The complaint alleges
that on October 25, 1919, while she was
staying at the hotel Rankin wrote
scandalous and defamatory words about
her in a letter to Thomas E. Code, and
caused others to suspect that she had
been guilty of improper relations with
Code.
