New Rent Laws
Upheld in Two
Owners' Suits
Justices Wapiieraiiwl Mr Avoy,
of Supreme Court, Assert
legislature Had Right to

Ouster Plea Is Denied
i
Tenant Wouldn't Pay Second
Raise: Injunction to Force
Occupant to Move Refused
Justices Robert F. Wagner and John
V. MfiAvoy, of the Supreme Court,
' ande?) down separate decision? yester
ay in i'ases involving the constitu?
tionality of trso emergency rent laws
which went into effect: in September.
In each Insta-nco the Justice upkeld the
\ c-wer of the Legislature In enacting
the laws and decided in favor of the
tenant.
Tor case before Justice Wagner was
brought by tine L'llman Realty Com
pany against Kjntara Tamur, a te mint i
at. 435 East Sitxty-sixth Street. The
landlord eornovaticn sought to oust the
tenant, alleging thst he unlawfully had
, possession of the premises since
September 24. The plaintiff a.<ked $35
a month rental. The defendant in?
sisted that he had paid a reasonable
increase when h.;s rent was increased
from $23 to $30 a month. The Ullman
company attacked the constitutionality
o? the law under which Tamur retained
possession.
Upholds Tentnls'" Rights
"I cannot subscribe to any doctrine,"
wrote Justice Wagner, "that hinders or
restrains our legislativo power from
enacting a clear and reasonable design
to relieve the actual distress of the
thousands of tenants In this com?
munity who would otherwise bo made
homeless. 1 think their rights to
in which to live, during an
emergency of the kind that now con
roi ts us, is transcendentally para
; to anv Drivate rights of prop
?ty. The protection of their health
nd morals commands a vastly more
mp irtant position to my mind, and is
? far greater moment to the welfare of
the state, than any strict adherence of
e individual's private property.
"A condition of affairs existed con
cerning v. h ich our Legislature exer

for the protection of the health and
welfare of its people. If the end be a
ate one all means which are not
arbitrary and oppressive, but are ap

Injunction 1'lea Denied
istic? McAvoy's decision was in the!
case of t be Versailles Holding Corpo
:>.*. on ag \ nsi Stein. In this case the
landlord sought to obtain possession of
its premisa by means of an injunc?
tion. Justice McAvoy said:
"The Leg\slature, without question,

Copt. Mosley Will Try for
i Speed Record in Battleplane
i
Veryille-Packard Machine With Which He Won
PuJitzer Trophy Thanksgiving Day To Be Used
in Test Over Measured Course at Mine?la To-day
By Jack Binns
Captain Corliss C. Mosley will at
I tempt to drive the famous Vervllle
1 Packard battlo plane over a measured
! course at Mine?la this morning for a
new world's speed record. Prepara?
tion? for the test wire completed yes?
terday. It is expected that the machine
will easily eclipso the record of 192
miles an hour recently made by Cap?
tain Bernard de Romanot in a special
Spad biplane in France.
There is every possibility that the
Verville-Packard - or the VCP-R scout,
to use the official army title?will
reach a speed of 210 miles an hour
over the straight course. This possi?
bility is based upon a careful exami?
nation of the wondeiful performance
put up by the army's latest typo of
i fighting piano in its flight in the
Thanksgiving Day race for the Pulit'/.er
trophy.
On that occasion Captain Mosley
made an average spetd of ITS miles an
hour for the 132-mile course, including
tiie frec/uent turns, with the engine
throttle only three-quarters open.
Mitchell to Witness Test
The minor fault, with the carburetor
has been remedied and all is now ready
for further victories. The tc3t to-day
will be witnessed by Brigadier General
William Mitchell and other prominent
aeronautic officials and experts.
The Army Air Service is particu?
larly pxoud of the performance of the
VCP-R scout, chiefly because it is en?
tirely a service-designed and cori
constrccted machine. It was designed
in the engineering laboratories of the
army experimental air station at Mc
Cook. Field, Dayton, Ohio, by Colonel
A. T. Yerville, from whom it takes its
name. It is equipped with a 600-horse
power Packard motor that is an out?
growth of the famous Liberty engine.
The Veville-Packard departs in many
ways from the conventional American
design. Its tremendous speed, due
primarily to its great engine power, is
also partly attributable to refinements
in design and construction rather than
to any radical changes. In other
words, there are no useless gadgets
hanging about it in any exposed oosi
; tlon that woald add resistance to Iti
[passage through the air.
The. graceful form of Its body, or
fusellage, is officially designated as
? being of the "pisciform monocoque"
type, but these forbidding words
merely express the fact that it is of
fishlike form, shaped out of a shell of
wood veneer. This shell is constructed
of layer upon layer of veneer, strength?
ened with tape, the lightest, toughest
and strongest material known to avia?
tion.
Features of Air Wonder
The powerful engine is completely
enclosed. Even the hub of the pro
peller is shaped into a conical boss
to reduce head resistance. The wings,
i interspaced with only two struts, are
j one on either side of the body. These
struts are very thick, and are of I
'formation, carefully stream-lined.
The elimination of resistance has
been carried to an absolute science, in
designing the remarkable machine. A
j "fairing," or hump-like projection in
stream-line form, is built into the bod\
immediately behind the cockpit. This
i is to eliminate the resistance causee
by the pilot's head projecting above
the cockpit Without this fairing, s
! vacuum would be formed back of the
pilot's head at full speed that woulc
materially affect the total speed of thi
machine. These details have r?sult?e
in the army producing the world'!
fastest airplane.
The victory of the Verville-Packarc
on Thanksgiving Day is in the nature o
a vindication. Immediately after th<
machine was completed, it was shipper
post haste to France to compete it
the international contest for the Gor
don Bennett air race, as one of thi
three American entries. It was de
rented by Sadi Lecuinte in a Kieupor
Special, who made an average speed o
]?>!? miles an hour. On that occasioi
the VCP-R failed badly, really becans
it had not been adequately tested am
In racing Thursday, Captuin Mosle
carried t.e color? o?' the Aero Club o
Southern California. The Pulitze
trophy has been awarded to that or
ganization by the Aero Club o
America. The California Club was of
ficially notified yesterday by Colon?
Jefferson De Mont Thompson, presiden
of the Aero Club.
Garage Watchman
Felled by Robbers
In S5L000 Theft
Grapples With Three Men
Who Flourish Revolver?;
$1,800 Stolen by Burglars
in Two Brooklyn H an! s
Three men gained entrance to the
garage of the Terminal and Town Taxi
Corporation, "27 Fast Sixty-fourth
Street, yesterday morning by telling
Paolo Gablamonte? tho watchman, that
they wanted to look over an automobile
stored in the place.
Once inside they drew revolvers and
told the watchman to put up his hands.
He grappled with them and was felled
with a blow from a blackjack. Finding
him and leaving one man to guard him,,
the intruders went to the office up?
stairs, where they blew open a. safe
with nitroglycerin.
They took S 1,000 ir. currency and
$50,000 in promissory notes from the
safe and departed, one of them giving
the reviving watchman a parting kick
which deprived him of his senses again.
As soon as he regained consciousness
he called the police.
James Blyn, another watchman,
fared even worse at the hands of burg?
lars who broke open the door of the
Star Towel Supply Company, 193 San
ford Street, Brooklyn. When he called
for help one of four men hit him on
the head with a crowbar.
j They tied his senseless body to a
: chair, which they placed against the
wrecked door to keep it closed. Then
they ripped open the safe and got
$1,200. They were gone when Blyn
came to himself. He managed to
craw] to the yard, where he attracted
the attention of a patrolman. He was
taken to Cumberland street Hospital,
and is said to he injured seriously.
Burglars got into the home of Frank
Fairehild, 484 East Seventeenth Street,
Brooklyn, Tuesday night, and stole
about $600 worth of silver and cloth?
ing. Some of the silver taken consisted
of presents which Mr. Fairehild and
his wife received a few days before,
when they celebrated their silver wed?
ding. Mr. Fair-child is head of the
firm of Fairehild Brothers, undertakers

?Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
The hunter who bad shot at Rusty
: the Fox Squirrel went over to the tree
1 up which Rusty had climbed and looked
.carefully at the ?dace where the shot
had struck. He found two or three
little red spot:-* and some red hairs.
Ho knew at once what they meant.
"I hit that fellow affr all," said he
and actually looked pleased. You see,
'hunters are very apt to be thouiihtles?.
That hunter was thinking of himself
' and not giving a single thought to poor
Rusty. Hp was pleased to think he had
thot straight, and the idea that Rusty
: might be suffering didn't enter his
', head.
Then he carefully walked around the
tree looking up for a glimpse of Rusty
and reudy to shoot again. Presently
he discovered the hole in which Rusty
had sought safety. He studied it carc
? fully.
"I believe," ?aid he, "that if I climb
up *here 1 can get that fellow out of
! there. That was a Vox Squirrel, the
. first one I have seen about here for
years. He is worth taking u little
' trouble to get."
So the hunter stood his gun against
! another tree and b^gan to climb the
i tree in which Rusty was hiding. It
! was is big tree and hard to climb. The
' first branches wero high up ard it tool'
J him ?orne timo to reach them. Thor
j he was glad to Btop and rest a while.
"What are you doing up in that

, The hunter looked down. There wai
'a freckled-faced. ang"r-y-lookni|f boy, an<

"I'm after a Squirrel I ?hot," rrplin
i the hunter. Then, for the first tinn
j noticing that his ^uri wn-i in the hand

! angrily: "Put that gun down whrr
jyon found it! Do yon hear?"
The anger in the faco of Fitrmo
* Brown's boy gave way to a sudden grit
"Y<'?, I hear," ?aid he, "but I'm no
going to put this gun down. Instead.

The Joint Legislative Committee

pose is to arrive at an accurate under

the next session of the Legislature to
i ?dopt remedies for existing defects.
The matter of making up the deficit of
I nearly $28,000,000 in the Board of Edu
I cation budget for 1921 came in for a
share of attention during the afternoon
Borough President Curran of Manhat?
tan suggested that no further legisla?
tion was needed to raise funds foi
meeting the increased expenses of the
Department of Education, and advo
cated the method urged by tho Boan
of Education, which advised the Boan
of Estimate several days ago that ai
emergency existed and requested it t<
supply the balance of the money!
asked.
Indecision HoId9 Up Action
"The Board of Education's reques
is on the calendar for consideration b;
the Board of Estimate nexl week,'
said Mr. Curran, "and we want to bi
able to assure the Board of Eoticatioi
that the money will be supplied so i
can go ahead and apportion the fund
without waiting until next. year,
think the remedy lies right here a
home, and that no additional legisla
tion whatsoever ia necessary."
Chairman Mullan said he did no
' think the salary increases which wer
I mede mandatory upon the citv admini
stration had argmented the city's ta
burden as much as it had been mad
to appear. Mr. Curran agreed wit
i him, but said he wad not familiar wit
! the details.
j "I believo this sudden increase in th
?costs of running the schools shoul
.be distributed over the next two years,
'? suggested Mr. Curran.

The Triumphs of Napoleon
A Gay Napoleonic Chintz
IN BELMAISON
One of +he most amusing and interesting chintzes
that Belmaison has ever had the (rood fortune to find
is called "The Triumph of Napoleon." It is one of
those irresistible old designs that mingles allegorical
and real character indiscriminately, and that is beau?
tiful in design as well as altogether c
theme. There are many groups, beautifully drawn,
printed in three colors and black. In one group
Napoleon is seen in Egypt amid the pyramids, giving
the French tricolor in exchange for Egyptian
weapons borne by turbaned Egyptians. In ano'her
group Napoleon stands before an allegorical figure
representing France, receiving her blessing,
chintz was not to be procured during the war, I ut
last summer its reprinting was arranged for
maison.
To harmonize with this type of old chintz, Bel
maison has an extraordinary collection of documents
and reproductions of Directoire and Empire furni
ture. Ail of the fineness and charm of the original
pieces has been preserved in the reproductions and
the furniture is thoroughly practica! for m< lern u >.
Lovers of this period of French furniture are in
to pay a visit to Belmai6on to study this extr
nary collection. Fifth Gallery, New Building.

These names have, ueen selected from a large catalog simply to indicate the general char?
acter of the artists and organizations that made these records in Italy. There are arias, con?
certed numbers, complete operas, overtures and other selections in wide variety.
When our representative was in Italy
? last summer he purchased these records from 'i well-known Italian concern that was closing
out its products, and it is interesting to note that in addition to the standard operas regularly
sung in New York there are selections from operas that cannot bo fourni in any catalog of
American-made records.
These records are looked upon as the best rjhonograph records recorded in Europe; and at
the prices quoted above the opportunity to add to your musical library is one that is seldom
offered. These records can be played on all phonographs; and they will be arranged on tables
so that you ran browse among them as much as you like.
Records, of course, are not returnable; and v.e cannot fill C. O. D. or mail orders.
