of of THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1921. RENTS STILL GO UP; NEW TENANTS ASKED $2 A ROOM INCREASE Building Shortage Makes Apart- ment Costs Higher--Lock wood Prepares Statement. out, and that is where the raising is going on. It is, reports indicate, widespread throughout the city and npparently averages about $2 a roomi.

Up near Prospect Park, on St. John's pl. and President for instance, there were two cases of raises within the last few weeks. Both foliowed the removal of former tenants. When the new tenants came in to one place, they were asked and paid $60 for five rooms, 'a jump of $2 a room over what the previous occupant had paid.

In the other case the rate was jumped from $72 to $80, under similar circumstances. Over in the Park Slope section an old tenant moved out. He had been paying $60, which included an increase of 25 percent under the first rent laws. When the new tenant came in, he had to pay $80. The subject of increased rentals, despite the laws, and the problem of supplying a remedy are being made special studies just now by Senator Charles C.

Lockwood, chairman, and the other members of the special committee of the Legislature that investigated building. Senaor Lockwood said yesterday that he was not prepared to make a statement yet, but would very soon. It was hinted that some of the things it would set forth would be surprising. Experts have reckoned that the city is more than five years behind in its building. It is claimed that the breaking up of the building rings, and consequent reduction of material and labor prices -the reduction in the latter being largely the result of squeezing out the graft and not cutting wages- has done something to encourage building, but it has not started any big building booms.

The money market is described as still "tight," sources of money still refusing to loan up to the percentage of final value that governed before the war. It is stated by builders that none of the proposed remedies can have material effect on the renting market for a number of years. Real reductions of a general nature cannot be looked for until building has caught up with and passed the demand. Work at a rate of 150 percent efficiency over the rate of construction in pre-war times would not attain this result under two and one-half years, the builders estimate, and probably the result would not be reached for at least four, if not five years. The falling off in demand for labor has had no apparent effect in the housing situation and, according to authorities who have investigated it, conditions are worse than a year ago.

Health Commissioner Copeland has made the statement that an injust While prices of foodstuffs, clothing, bu building material, wages, and, in fact, almost everything are dropping steadily, and have been for some, time, rents are still going up. According to those who have studied the situation there is 110 hope of lower rents for several years, possibly as many as four or five. While the Legislature passed a series of bills that protect a tenant already in an apartment from unreasonable increase, the landlords have found a way to raise rents when one of these "protected tenants" moves spection by his department showed many instances where more than one family was living in the same apartment, and brought to light at least one instance in Brooklyn where four families--one of them including an infant living in a three-room apartment-a situation where there was -were less than an average of one room to a family, SMUTS FAVORS HERTZOG AS IMPERIAL CONFEREE London, Feb. 12-Gen. Smuts, who has just been returned to power as Premier of the Union of South Africa, is quoted today by the Capetown correspondent of the Daily Telegraph as saying he would like to take Gen.

Hertzog, his unsuccessful opponent who fought the general election on a platform of secession from the Empire, with him to the next Imperial conference. Gen. Smuts said the day would come when the governor-generalship of the Union would be held by a South African. He added that he would have nominated a South African as successor to the last governor-general, Lord Buxton, instead of Prince Arthur of Connaught, but for the present political differences.

S. LOAN Treasury Department Rejected Formal Proposal, He Tells Senate Committee. Washington, Feb. 12-More than one suggestion that Great Britain's war debt to the United States be written come from British sources, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said today after Secretary Houston had been closeted with the committee for 2 hours discussing the status of American Government foreign loans. Committee members said Mr.

Houston had confirmed that the British Government 'had made a formal posal to cancel the debt and that the Treasury Department had refused. First intimation that such a proposal had been made was given by J. Austen Chamberlain, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a recent address in England. Some Senators said the course of Secretary Houston in dealing with such suggestions had been "eminently Mr. Houston was said to have reiterated that the only course open to him was to follow the jaw authorizing the Treasury Department to exchange the present allied certificates of indebtedness for long term notes.

The Secretary read a long prepared statement to the committee detailing all payments to the Allies and the present status of the loans. At 1 his request no part of this was made public, but it was said to have been substantially that given by him recently to the Senate Judiciary Committee. WESTBURY WOMAN HELD AS SHOPLIFTER Mrs. L. Maud Benedict Accused by Store Detective -Gets Bail A handsomely dressed woman of 30.

who described herself as Mrs. L. Maud Benedict, of Westbury, L. was arrested late yesterday afternoon in the store of Abraham charged with shoplifting. The arrest was made by Detective Kenna, of the Adams st.

station, who was called in to the store by Detective Margaret McEntee, of the store forces. Miss McEntee had been observing the actions of the woman for some time. She swore before Magistrate Geismar, in the Night Court last night, that the woman had stolen property valued in all at $13.28, which included three pairs of stockings, four pairs of SOX, a pair of gloves, a scarf, seven dress ornaments and four handkerchiefs. or But there were a number of valentines which were not included, Miss McEntee said, in her general affidavit. In fact it was the incident of the valentines that made Mrs.

Benedict distinctive as a shoplifter, in the eyes of Miss McEntee. She had watched the woman selecting some very fine samples of the valentine maker's art. Having tucked away the stockings and the sox, and the gloves and the ornaments in a rather capacious handbag, the woman proceeded with her valentines to the place where she could get postage stamps. These she bought. Then she went into the women's waiting and lounging and calmly addressed the envelopes.

poom, Miss McEntee followed her until she had mailed them, and then went with her to the street, where she stopped her, and explained that she was, "wanted at the superintendent's office." The hearing in the case was' postponed, ands in the meanwhile the prisoner released on bail, pending her examination on Tuesday night.

Charged with having narcotics in their possession, three men were arrested yesterday at a house on Washington near W. 10th Manhattan, detectives left on guard there following a raid made on the premises Friday. The prisoners, who were locked up at Headquarters, said they are Ralph Mather, 25, of 356 W. 57th Manhattan; Joseph Donnelly, 22, of 156 6th Brooklyn, and John McGrath, 35, of 223 N. 3d Newark.

All day long and last night Detective Cruger was kept busy answering the bell at the Washington st. house, rung by alleged drug addicts, who told the detective they were seeking narcotics. Drugs valued at $2.000 were seized by the police yesterday when Patrol. man William A. Mahoney arrested Benjamin Zurin, 21, a driver, of 92 Attorney Manhattan, Zurin was charged with violating the Harrison Law when a package which he is alleged to have been carrying was found, whose contents were held for turther, time analysis.

of his arrest Zurin also had a automatic pistol in his pocket, but exhibited to the police one of the permits issued by Frank R. Seaman, Justice of the Peace at Mineola, L. whose methods of issuing pistol permits have been the subject of investigation by the authorities. According to the police, Zurin served two terms in the a Elmira been formatory for pickpocketing. In July, 1920, he was shot four times in the abdomen in a fight in front of 37 2d Manhattan, and spent the following three months at Bellevue Hospital.

Zurin, according to the police, told them that he was driving a wagon for a wet wash laundry when, in passing through a street on the East Side, he saw two men throw the package into the street. He stopped, picked it up and put it under his coat, intending to examine it later, he explained. Zurin denied being vendor of drugs. Questioned by the detectives concerning his possession of the pistol, Zurin said his business required him to carry large sums of money and that, following an attempted holdup, he applied for the pistol permit. He did not know Seaman, he said, and secured the permit simply on the payment of a $2 fee.

FARRAR URGES CONGRESS TO REWARD LT. ISAACS, BROOKLYN WAR HERO Risked Life to Save Captain of the President Lincoln, Sunk by U-Boat. Washington, Feb. 12-Representative Eagle of Texas made a dramatic appeal to the House yetserday to reward Lt. Edward Isaacs, U.

S. of Brooklyn, for his heroic war exploit, following a submarine attack upon the President Lincoln, the ship to which he was attached. Lt. Isaacs stepped forward and volunteered to become a prisoner in another man's place after the President Lincoln had been torpedoed by a German U-Boat. Lt.

Isaacs gave himself up as a prisoner to the commander of the submarine which destroyed the President Lincoln order that he might save his superior officers from capture. His sacrifice was made after insistence by the German officer that the captain of the transport must surrender himself. In appealing to Congress to award Lt. Isaacs, Representative Eagle said: "When the submarine captain demanded an officer prisoner Isaacs walked forth and announced that his commander, Percy F. Foote, now aid to the Secretary of War, probably had perished and he was ready to go in his place.

For 11 days, while a captive, on the U-Boat, he learned facts about the German Navy's plan of operations which were of the utmost importance, to the Allied fleet. "With this in mind he escaped at the risk of his life and was so badly injured and beaten that now at the age of 29 he is physically unable to remain in the Navy.

12-Mounted police drove back several hundred strike sympathizers who rushed two stalled street cars operated by strike-breakers in the center of Albany's business district late today. Just as the mob ran, yelling loudly. toward cars, the bluecoats who screened the two-score strike-breakers spurred their mounts and headed into the crowd, swinging their batons. During the tumult. a brick was sent crashing through a car window, and a man in the crowd was slightly injured by a blow on the head.

The attempted attack was at Broadway and State st, and was witnessed by several thousand who rushed from offices and hotels. A few moments before the interior of the Postoffice had lost its calm when a strike breaker left a streetcar outside and dashed into the building. Several men were quickly on his heels, jerking his coat off just as he entered an inner door. Police rescued him from his hiding place inside the superintendent's office. He explained that he entered the Postoffice to mail a letter.

Large crowds lined the sidewalks along Broadway for several blocks throughout the afternoon and taunted non-union men employed in cutting snow from the rails. Bystanders jeered merrily whenever the car wheels slipped off the track, which was frequently. The onlookers were continually scattered, however, by mounted police.

DOG BITES FOUR CHILDREN A stray mad dog bit four children in the vestibule of 2905 8th Manhattan, yesterday, inflicting severe wounds. It was killed by two shots from the revolver of Patrolman Herman J.

Lusson. The mad dog first dashed into a crowd of young children playing in front of the 8th ave. address, and the children ran into the vestibule while Thomas Gallagher, 4. living in the house, sought to fight the dog off by kicking at him with his tiny foot, the dog bit him three times on the right side of the face. The dog also bit Georgians McGarry, Joseph Peters, 3, and Francis Miller, 14.

The letter was in answer to one sent to Barmore and McCabe by Ross after Friday's conference, proposing that they agree that hereafter defendants in liquor and other Federal law cases shall be arraigned before a Commissioner, but then sent up for trial before the District Court on any information filed by the U. S. Attorney, without a preliminary Commissioner's hearing. In case of their refusal to agree to this, Ross had threatened that he would even bring arraignments before note insurgent Commissioners, thus entirely cutting off their fees. Commissioner McCabe said last night that he had not yet received Ross's letter, but would comment on it later when he did.

"However," he added, "I stand by my position. know my duties as a Commissioner of the United States District Court and will continue to perform them as hitherto without advice from the Federal attorney's office." Barmore's letter reads in part: Barmore's Letter. I will hear from McCabe, too. "Saves Lawyers' Fees." "The elimination of hearings in "I did not meet you as suggested, for the reason that it does not appear that the conference was to be held in the presence of Judges Chatfield and Garvin, who are our superiors, and for the further reason that you seemed to have already decided what course you had intended to pursue. Furthermore, although you state that you have consulted with the District judges, this part of your letter is meaningless, because you leave it open to conjecture as to their attitude in the matter.

"In this connection, permit me to advise you that I thoroughly resent your published interviews, wherein you seek to make it appear that the United States Commissioners are of no consequence, and that you are supreme in the administration of justice in this Federal district. It seems necessary to remind you that the U. S. Commissioners, the appointees of the District have Court, acting as Federal magistrates, duties and responsibilities no less grave and important than your own. It ill becomes any Federal official to usurp the power of or to attempt to eliminate a branch of the judiciary, which has for many years been arni of the United States courts the land in the administration of throughout tice, and whose function of giving pre- jusnized liminary by the hearings District has been long recogand Appellate courts." Commissioner Barmore cited a decision by the Circuit Court then of Appeals on this point, and contined: "This office was created relieve the courts of expressly to many duties, particularly the disposal of matters where no conviction can be had, thereby conserving the time of the courts and juries for cases of great public in importance, for example, profiteering food and coal.

"If you had familiarized yourself with conditions, you would be aware that almost invariably where a commissioner has dismissed a case after a hearing and the defendant has later stood trial on an information fled by you, on the identical facts, the result has been a dismissal or acquittal. You should, therefore, be in a position to advise the present Attorney General, in answer to his circular, that it is not practicable in this district to adopt the proposed procedure of Aling an information in the first instance, as to do so, rather than expedite the disposal of the criminal calendar, would never require the attention the Disencumber it with cases which, should trict Court; and furthermore, that to do so, would place the entire burden on the Federal judges and deprive them of the assistance of the commissioners." Hearings Wasteful, Ross Replies. In reply to this Mr. Ross said last night that the practice of holding hearings was a wasteful one in time and effort, and that he had attempted to abolish it with a view to efficiency in the prosecution of Federal cases. He "Barmore must be slightly peeved.

I may comment on his broadside 'against me personally with the observation that he is a rather young commissioner, at least in point of service. The suggestion that the liquor case hearings before commissioners be eliminated was promulgated by the department officials Washington as the result of a request by the prohibition enforcement office. Judges Chattield and Garvin told me that there was nothing to do but follow out the suggestion. When I the matter before Commissioners McGoldrick, Rasquin and Hennessey they were convinced of its wisdom, and had no fault to find. Commissioners Barmore and McCabe did not appear at the conference.

I suppose liquor cases before commissioners not only saves defendants from making many unnecessary trips to the Federal Building, but also saves them lawyers' fees and enables them to get their day in court more quickly. It also eliminates the necessity of having the all too few Prohibition enforcement agents hanging around the Federal Building when they ought to be in the field and, incidentally, it saves the Government the commissioner's fees, although that is a small item. Any schoolboy can tell whether there is a. prima facie case against a defendant, and why run a man through a hearing when it is known in the beginning he must be held for trial? "The hearing practice has used up valuable time of assistants. of our office, who must be present at such hearings.

The work 011 which SO much time has been used up by SO many persons seems to have been useless. It is an interesting fact that in this district the district court calendar of liquor cases is right up to date. We have less than dozen cases now hanging fire that are more than. two weeks old. "The United States Commissioners still will be asked to fix bail or to 'discharge persons arrested on hopeless cases, and it would be a tough situation if they refused to do that because they could not get $5 a day for it."
