HINT LANDLORDS
"CREATE'SHORTAGE
' 10 JUSTIFY DENIS
Justice Department Official
' Forecasts Congressional
Action in D. C.
Belief that the supposed aeute housing
shortage in Washington may exist
only In the minds of some landlords, |
who wish to Justify high rental?, and
that continuance of the conditions
which have prevailed here for the
last three months will not be tolerated
by Congress, was expressed today by
Assistant Attorney General Henry H.
Glassle of the Department of Justice.
Mr. Glassie is in full charge of the y
campaign of the Department of Jus- y
tice against profiteering In rents. t!
The suspension of "rule 19" by the _
District' Supreme Court, delaying "
landlord and tenant cases in the Mu
nlcipal Court for a number of months,
was entirely justified, declared Mr. J
Glassie when queried regarding this I
st?p.
"With respect to the rental situation
In general." Mr. Glassie said,
"there would seem to be evidence that
the acute house shortage, which is
put forth as the justification for increased
rentals, no longer exists, or
exist* only In a much less stringent
form. It is to be feared that there
is an effort to create a fictitious short- t
age. By giving wholesale notices to r
quit without disclosing to tenants
what rent would be acceptable it is
possible to create for the time being
an apparent stringency.
"How this would work can be made
plain by assuming, for illustration,
that all people living in rented houses
or apartments were given notice to y
quit on the same day. Although there t
might be ample accommodations for "
everybody, the resulting displacement h
would cause an apparent intensifica- j,
tion of demand, which would send .
prices skyward. D:
"Although a thorough survey of ih
housing conditions might possibly ti
show that there were ample accom- ti
modations for the whole population, ci
the eviction of tenants in large num- ti
bers at or about the same time, fore- g
ing them all to scramble for quarters.
leads them to believe in short- c
age. Hence the prices. Once the ten- w
ant has committed himself- he is lost. a
Cengresa May Act. P
"Surely everybody must realize that
no legislature will tolerate the continuance
of the conditions which have
prevailed here for the last three
months." Mr. Glassie went on. ,
"Whether we are to have the mild ,
and equitable operation of a law providing
for the impartial determina- fl
tion of fair rents, or far more radical n
and drastic statutes, such as have jr
been enacted in New York, or, per- p
haps, a searching exercise of the tax- <3
ing power, it seems equally plain ai
thatA>eopie are not going to be left
to ds what they like. All of us ought rj
to remember that Congress still holds c
in reserve the practically unlimited y
agency of taxation. Not one of the
many experienced legislators in either c<
House would find it difficult to draft g
a tax law which would not only ?
hold things down In the future, but
extract from the owner's pockets sub- p,
stantially all the incrament in rental tl
income received for some time past."
"It is difficult to And any warrant for
the criticism which some members of
the tsar are reported to have made upon
the recent action of the District Supreme *
Court." he pointed out "I think any 11
intelligent person, whether layman or 4
lawyer, can satisfy himself of this if *
he bears in mind one or two simple *
considerations.
Explains Bale IV. ?
i "In the Arst place, every one knows tl
that the Court of Appeals, in any case, p
whether the first or another, in which
it might adjudge the Ball act unconsti- c
rational, would permit the tnnapt to* n
supersede the Judgment and remain In w
possession, pending appeal, upon giving w
security covering damages and compen- e
sat ion for occupation. Now the per- C
sons affected by the abrogation of rule tl
It stand in the same situation. tl
"The Judgments which the Municipal tl
Court, following the Court of Appeals' ii
opinion as the rule of decision, have it
given against them have been duly
superseded upon undertakings secur- J
ing the landlord for intervening dam- d;
ages and compensation pending the w

in force until final judgment. Manifestly,
there is no reason for sending r<
on their way to the Supreme Court of ir
the United States 50 or 500 cases 1c
involving identical questions. Nor v
should one think that the Suprem^ o
Court would approve any such courasP ti
The effect of the abrogation of rule e<
19, therefore, is primarily to obviate C
loading up the calendars with super- q
fluous appeals until the Supreme Court n
has had an opportunity to pass upon y
the important constitutional question 1
at issue. p
"In the second place, the supposed
injury to purchasers desiring to go
into possession is imaginary, rather
than real. The much abused Ball act t
itself makes due provision for the re- 1
covery of possession by any owner a
who honestly wishes to occupy the x
property himself. In that respect, a c
purchaser Is in Just as good a position v
today as he ever has been. a
Rule a "Doubtful Innovation." '
"The third point is that rule 19, J
the abrogation of which Is spoken of _
as if it were a violation of Magna J
Charta, is Itself an innovation, and a ,
somewhat doubtful innovation at J:
that. For half a century?in fact B
since 1861?we have had in this District
a summary statutory landlord c
and tenant proceeding, and most of i,
the time it worked without the aid u
of any such rule as 19. No such rule
is to be found in the rule book of 1894
? _ i o on ?? s osr ? - ?
wr io3o v1 ma. a party in posses- f
slon has a common-law right to a I
regular trial before a court and Jury. I
The summary statutory proceeding 1
before the Municipal Court is conditioned
upon the recognition of the
defendant's right to appeal to a court
where he can get such a trial.
"In order to avail himself of this,
however, he is required to give security
indemnifying the landlord
against loss in the meantime. When
he has done this and docketed his 1
appeal he is entitled to a trial accord- <
ing to the course of the common law.
And until this rule 19 was promul- i,
gated, in 1913. that was what he always
got. At the time conditions 2
were such as to lead the court to be- n
lieve the administration of justice J1
would be advanced by a rule which "
would test the legal sufficiency of
every defense and permit summary
judgment without trial where the de- J
fense was seen to be manifestly bad 1
in law. When it becomes evident that ?
such a rule operates to duplicate op- *
press! ve appeals and aggravate costs
and to discriminate against thevse T
who have not long purses for litiga- ?
tion. it works injustice and ought J
to be abrogated. In taking that step ?
the judges or the District Supreme
Court show that they are, in the language
of one of the law's sages, Judges
"wise and valiant."

WATER POWER ACT
OPENS NEW FIELD,
LEAJEIS TOLD
Secretary of Commission
Pledges Co-Operation at
Convention Opening.
t^o-operation with the power industry
was pledged today by O. C. Mer
rill, executive secretary of the Fedsral
Power Commission and reprejentative
of the commission, at the
opening session of the national convention
of the Water Power League
of America. The convention is meeting
in the Hotel Washington, and Sessions
will be held this afternoon and
tomorrow.
The commission, Mr. Merrill said, is
not unmindful of the responsibilities
placed upon it in the administration
>f the new water power act.
"We realize both the duty and the
opportunity," said Mr. Merrill. "It is
the purpose to co-operate with the
power industry, and, within the limits
>f sound engineering and financial
practice and" of a proper regard for
the ppblic interest, to lend every as
ustance possible to the development
>f our water power resources, and to
the co-ordination of all means wheret>y
our power requirements may be
net with the greatest practical measjre
of economy."
ItMMM Proper Start.
The convention, to which scores of
delegates have come from all parts
jf the Union, was called to order
t>y Dr. George P. Swain of the Harvard
Engineering School, president of
the league. Dr. Swain impressed
jpon the convention the importance
it the power industry getting a proper
start under the new law.
Dr. Swain urged the necessity of conisrving
the exhaustible natural relources
of the country from which powsr
is developed, such as oil and coal,
uid the substitution for them, as far as
possible, of the inexhaustible resources
>f water power as a developer of power,
rhe development of water power, he
said, would not only save fuel, but
would also save labor arid cars and
Iransportation now strained to its utmost
capacity.
Secretary of War Baker, chairman
>f the federal power commission, was
icheduled to address the convention.
But he was called away from Washington
to take part in a stumping
tour for Cox and Roosevelt. Besides
Mr. Merrill's address, the delegates
heard Lieut. Col. William Kelley on
"The Relations Between Navigable
Waters and the Federal Water Power
Act,"
At the session this afternnoon addresses
will be delivered by Alexander
Vosrelsang. assistant secretary
it the Interior; John A. Britton, vice
president and general manager of
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company,
and Prof. John W. Dorsey of
the University of Manitoba.
Fundamentals to Endnre.
Mr. Merrill told.the convention that
after ten long years of struggle, federal
legislation had at last been enacted
permitting the development of
the vast water power resources of
the country. "We may now turn our
attention," he s^id, "toward working
put the pl*8 upon which our future
development should proceed."
He predicted that amendments
would be made in the law. but that
its fundamental principles would enSure,
and described the duties which
the power commission was called
upon to perform, including the regulation
of rates, service and securities
in interstate business. He deplored
the fact that Congress has
not given the commission personnel
for carrying out the law, other than
an executive secretary and engineer
officer, but has provided that the
work of the commission shall be performed
through the personnel of the
War, Interior and Agricultural departments.
"Over sixty applications, involving
from two to three million horsepower,
greater in amount than all the projects
acted upon by the three departments
in all their history, have already
been filed with the commis
Bion said Mr- "lernii. tie urged
the neceBBity of taking stock of the
water power resources of the country
which have been variously estimated
from 30,000,000 to 300,000,000
horsepower.
War Brought Realization.
"The emergency of War," he continued.
"brought us to an acute realization
of depending too exclusively

HEAVY MOTOR TRUCKS
DAMAGED IN COLLISION
Driver William Malone Cut Over
Eye in Mishap on Massachusetts
Avenue.
Two heavy motor trucks, one belonging
to the Standard OU Company
and the other to the Rosslyn Steel
and Cement Company, collided at
Massachusetts avenue and 3d street
about 8:30 o'clock this morning and
were badly damaged. Damage to the
former truck amounted to 4500, while
the latter truck was damaged to the
amount of $1,000.
Containers of a consignment of lime
in the truck of the steel and cement '
firm were broken, resulting in the
lime being scattered on the street and
much of it ruined.
Noise of the collision attracted occupants
of nearby houses and pedestrians
to the scene, and the spectators
were relieved when thev learned that
a cut over the right eye, sustained by
William Malone, driver of the truck
of the steel and cement firm, was the
only injury received by cither driver.

centuries of supply, they are. in depth
beneath the ground, in distance from
point of use. in cost of production
and in difficulty of transportation, becoming
constantly less accessible, and
we have frequently been confronted
with whole sections of the country
destitute of supply and our transportation
systems so overloaded that re- j
lief became a matter of extreme dif- i
ticulty. The introduction of economy'
in the use of our coal resources has'
thus become necessary, not so much!
for the purpose of preserving supplies
for future generations as for the
purpose of reducing the burden of
meeting the needs of the present."
The subect of water power in navigable
waters was discussed by Lieut.
Col. 'Kelley. He showed how the interests
of navigation and power and
irrigation and navigation and power
frequently are in conflict, and urged
that care must be taken for a proper
development of all these functions.
"It is ode of the functions of the
Federal Power Commission," he said,
"and not tie least of its functions, to
adjust these conflicting interests.

under such conditions will

such that the full development can be
progressively approached as the development
of the region makes additional
expense justifiable."

Ernest P. Bicknejl, who recently returned
from abroad, where he was a
director of the relief work In the i

at the luncheon of the Twentieth
Century Club given at the Cosmos
Club today.
The speaker said that the most
helpless people in the world were
those of the Russian nobility, for they
had never been compelled to think
or act for themselves, and as refugees
they were as dependent on outside
aid and guidance as a ten-year-old
child.
Mrs. Lyman B. Swormstedt, president
of the Twentieth Century Club,
presided. This was the first meeting
of the club this season.

D. C. REPUBLICANS PLAN I
TRIPLE STATE RALLY!
Republican headquarters, 1410 H
1 street, will be the scene tonight of a
political rally, a joint affair, held
primarily in the interests of the voters
of Illinois, Tennessee and Michigan, j
who will be instructed regarding their
respective registration and voting
laws. .
The rally will be open to the public,
and the principal speech will be
made by Arthur K. Hayes. Henry M.J
Camp, chairman of the local campaign f
committee, will preside.
Announcement is made by Chairman
Camp that absentee voters of tfie
states now residing in the District'of
Columbia may learn, by applying at
headquarters* the dates of the last registration
days for those who wish to
registered by affidavit in the coming
elections. The local committee has prepared
valuable data regarding the
state registration and election laws,
aiiu uUll"! Jill U1 lllclllUU regUTUillg TCg- 1
istering and voting by mail. Voting
by mail is now recognized in a score
of states. Tlie voter, however, must
first register either irj person or by affidavit,
and then apply for the blank
form with which to make application
for the official ballot.
Chairman Camp states today that
the announcement to the effect that
the railroads would not grant a reduced
railroad fare for voters to return
to their home states has had no
loticeable depressing or disappointing
effect upon voters thus far. He said
he was greatly impressed with the
spirit being shown by the men and
women, especially the latter. He has
yet to hear one person say he or she
would abandon the trip "home" because
of the turn-down by the railroads.
Another joint rally will be held at
headquarters Saturday night, the occasion
being in honor of Wyoming.
Arizona, North and South Dakota and
Nebraska.
Next Monday night there will be a
joint rally for Iowa, Kansas, Missouri
and Kentucky.

take counsel nor learn from experience.
To formulate a plan of international
co-operation is a task of no
small difficulty. There are many and
conflicting- opinions among the people
and among the members o fthe Senate
upon the subject. These ojrfnions
must be reconciled and harmonized if
we are to have any international association
for peace at all.
Pledges to Advise.''
"I shall not risk embarrassing the
final solution of a problem so momentous
by undertaking to lay down
in advance specific details of plans.
"As soon as possible after my election
I shall advise with the best minds
in the United States, and especially I
shall consult in advance with the
Senate, with whom, by the .terms of
the Constitution. I shall Indeed be
bound to counsel and without whose
consent no such international association
can be formed. I shall do this
to the end that we shall have an association
of nations for the promotion
of international peace, but one which
shall definitely safeguard our sovereignty
and recognize our ultimate
and unmortgaged freedom of action."
