Mystery Veils Demise of Los
Sealed Room Police
Jly tho Associated Tress
Los Angeles, Sept. 24. A pre
liminary post-mortem examination of
the body of .Tarob Charles Denton, n
capitalist, found burled in a sealed
room in Oic cellar of his home, 'having
disclosed no marks of violence, de
tectives searched today for evidence nsi
to now the wen thy mining promoter
came to his death.
Officers previously had expressed the
belief that Denton had been shot br
stabbed. The shooting theory was
favored because a revolver, fully loaded,
but with one cartridge of a wrong
raliber, had been found in n room which
Denton had reserved for his own use.
Stories iy Los Angelc friends" as to
when Denton wns Inst seen differed ns
to the date. Some placed it at June 2,
white others nnme'd August 10 .as the
time he dropped from sight. I
Judge Itiiss Avery, of the Los Angeles
Superior Court, friend nnd attorney of
the dead man, made public portions of
a recent will drnwn by Denton. This
document disposed of tho bulk of his
property ttf Frances Denton, daughter
of his first and divorced wife, now going
to school in Fhocnix, Ariz.
He nlso wrote Judge Avery :,
"If anything should lmpperi to me.
or in case of death, which must some
time, happen to all of us, I hereby ap
point you my attorney in fact, nnd to
gether with Joel Denton, Lawson, Mo.,
the administrator of my estate."
Joel Denton Is n brother of tho dead
mau, the police said.
Letters drawing attention to three
women, for whom the police are search

the time the body was discovered.

RENTAL DISPUTES
JO BEIARD TODAY
t . v
' I ' ' ,
Fjheen Cases Schodulod for
-, First Session of Sheriff's
Adjustment Corrtmltteo
MANY TENANTS CpMPLAIN
.
Fifteen cases involving disputes bo
tween tenants and landlords y?lll como
before the newly organized housing, ad
justment committee at its initial meet
ing this nfternoon in. tho shcriff'H
office. Although the nature of, the cases
lias not been divulged in advance of the
rnectlng, It is understood that In the
majority of them tenants nrc the com
plainants. O
The committee will hear' whatever
testimony that is presented In support
of either side of each case, and In each
will undertake to recommend an equi
table ' settlement to the disputants.
Sheriff Lamberton has announced that
the meetings of the committee, for the
formation of which he is principally
responsible, will be entirely luformnl.
Olio of the ensrs to bo presented ti
:the housing adjustment committee will
bc'.by tho Bureau of Legal Aid, ac
cording to an announcement, by Romnin
C.jTHassrlck, ncting chief of tho bureau.
Thirty per cent of the business of the
bureau at the present time consists of
landlord and tenant cases. In at least
seven out of ten of the landlord and
tenant cases amicable adjustments arc
being made through the bureau of legal
aid. As to the other cases, the bureau
proposes to place tho facts" before the
housing adjustment committee in an
effort to effect an adjustment. The
committee, therefore, will
serve as a
sort of court of anneal for landlord
nnd tenant cases, In which all cfforts0f the front-porch campaign
nave taiicu to cnect a Bciuemcni oi mc
difficulties existing between the lessor
and lessee.
One of thcicvils which has manifested
itself in the flood of landlord. and ten
ant cases in the bureau of legal aid
has' been the tendency on the part of a
certain class of property owners nnd
agents to enter into agrcemchts'of sale,
nnd then fall to carry these agreements
Into effect. Cases growing out of' that
kind of a transaction are reaching the
bureau of legal aid daily. The bureau
proposes to place the facts before the
housing adjustment committee, particu
larly where It appears that, the agree
ment was not entered into in good faith
In the first instance, and there is on ap
parent effort to take unfair- advantage
of prospective purchasers.

CITY-RUN TRANSIT
OPPOSITION BEGUN
United Business Men Demand
Views of Candidates on Pro
posed Amendmont
FIVE-CENT- FARE IS HIT
The attitude of every candidate for
the House and Senate of Pennsylvania
regarding nn amendment passed by the
last Legislature, permitting Uic city to
enter the street rnllway business. Is be
ing sought by tho United Business
Men's Association.
A letter to' every legislative candi
date asking his views on this amend
ment wns sent out today by George J.
Campbell, secretary of the organization.
The amendment in question would per
mit the city to acquire by contract or
condemnation any street railway fran
chise, nnd its concluding paragraph
makes it applicable only to Philadel
phia. The step to place every candidate on
record is the result of action taken at
n meeting of the association last night.
Several members representing organiza
tions in nil sections of the city pointed
out that this enabling amendment would
pave the way toward dragging the city
Into the transit business and possibly
cause the city to Inherit some of the
financial burdens, including underlying
rentals of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Co.
A resolution wns adopted in which
the organization declared that It would
oppose the election of any legislative
candidate who favored this amendment.
C. Oscar Beasley, counsel for the or
ganization, said today that n simllnr
enabling amendment was passed by the
Legislature before the 1007 agreement
was enacted. He called attention to the
(net that this amendment had passed
one section of the Legislature nnd would
come up again for action at the coming
session In 1021.
Mr. Beasley warned those present
that, should it be passed by tho next
session, it could be voted on by the
people nt the next November election.
Onnosition tn n strnieht fivo.rrnr fnrn
for the Rapid Transit company until
mo question of rentals paid to undorly
ing companies had been thoroughly con
sldcred wns expressed at the meeting
last nignt.
The meeting appointed a committee
to call on Mayor Moore and recommstad
the appointment of a valuation expert
to cnecK up on the inventory made by
the company.
As the city is already considering en
gagement of experts, it 1 doubtful if
tho suggestion of the committee will be
acted upon.
E. Clinton Rhoad3, a lawyer, who
was among those who addressed the
business men, pointed out that City
Solicitor Smyth wns formerly legal rep
resentative of the P. P.. T. Ho sug
gested that Mr. Smyth ask for outside
counsel In preparation of the case.
Mr. Rhonda said among other things:'
"The question now before us Is

Joseph E. Lewis, president ot ;th

called attention to tho men who
being considered fdr.the post of valua
tion expert. Ho cited several 6f the
men being considered and said they bM
been employed In valuation or ,fare; rs- '

figure much higher than that eventually
allowed by the governing public servlrt
commission. Following his speech, tho
motion for the appointment of tho com
