Whether the cltr has govern rentals charged authority to by property owners Is a question that has been sub Itted to the city's legal department. umerous complaints have been re ived by Mayor BaVer and members the council recently relative to steadily advancing rates in flats, dwell ings and apartment houses, and the mayor has asked for an opinion as to e city s authority in the matter. Some of the property owners. It Is id. have advanced steadily increasing copt of maintenance and labor as rea sons for lifting rents. They defend their rates with the argument that even at the Increased charges they are un able to make financial ends meet, and have been compelled to ask for more from tenants. Occupants of rented quarters, on the other hand, contend that their rents have been raised arbitrarily, without just cause, and that in addition to being forced to meet the excessive cost of foodstuffs and clothing, are being made targets by landlords, whoss they charge with proareertng. That there Is no legaT phase to be considered is the contention of soma who profess to be conversant with the statutes. It Is nopea mat some pres sure will be brought to bear on land lords to relieve tenants of any unjust burden. OFFICE BENTS MAY RISE VINTON ACTING HUD OF STATE SE.VATE FOR TIME TO BE E-XECITIVE.

Further evidence that the fugitives escaped In an automobile, with the assistance of outside help, reached the prison officials Saturday afternoon. A farmer named Purdy, who lives near Marion, telephoned the authorities that he had found a pair of shoes, three shirts, overalls and a hat, which an parently had been thrown to the side of the road from a fast traveling venicie. This wearing apparel, the officers believe, was discarded by the convicts soon after they escaped from the flax neias. ine presence of a man at the hospital a few days ago who claimed to be a brother of Southwlck also has strengthened the belief of -the peni tentiary officials that he brought an automobile to Salem and aided in the escape. make WRIGLEV'S good we must KEEP it good until you get it.
