The tentative bills as drawn by the sheriff are te be introduced in the next Legislature, which meets in January. The proposed laws, It is believed, will clear away big obstacles te adequate home -building here and previde for greater justlce between landlords and tenants. Capital for home building is being withheld te a large extent because ether investments offer a mere attractive in terest yield. An Increase te 8 per cent en mortgage interests, it is believed, will remedy this situation. The proposed "ejection court" is another important item In the sheriff's plans. At present ejection writs nrc issued automatically, with no prevision for court hearings before the writs are served. As a result families frequently are dispossessed and arc unable te find ether homes. Te Head Delegation The sheriff-tfansTtMeatt allegation of tenants and real' estate men which tne In e'nttllmr disputes between landlords and tenants through the medium of the housing adjustment committee qf which William J. Nash, president of the United Business Men's Association, is chairman. . .. "My idea earlier in the year," said the sheriff, "had been te have an extra session of the Legislature held 'se that temporary relief could be had. New I feel that It would be better te prepare for the passage of constructive legisla tion which would serve for years te come and at the same tlme provide teal and lasting relief just te both sides, the tenants and the landlords. It Is ohvleus. of course, that we must en courage building. If there nrc planty of houses tlie tenants nceu nui uu uuua se much obligation te the landlords. "The one big thing the tenants need in Pennsylvania is the passage of a law which would make decision of the court a prerequisite te an eviction. As it is new the sheriff Is called en te serve a writ which has been issued automati cally, you might say, and without any sort of a hearing under the law. A writ mey be issued and the tenant knew nothing of it until the sheriff's deputy appears at the deer. Entire New Court Net Necessary "It will net be necessary te create n new court. A separate branch can be established, such as is done, for ex ample, In the establishment of an elec tion court. This branch would operate in something Hfce the wnv the court of conciliation works in the Municipal Court. The court would settle disputes between landlords and tenants en their merits and the decision would be bind ing. "Decisions made by the housing ad justment committee are net binding. It would be found that such n court would work a real benefit, for we have found, In the henrings befere the housing ad justment committee, that when you get both sides te the dispute together, and they go ever the facts together, It Is easy te make a settlement. Summary and arbltary issuance and serving of writs would be done away with. "I rcnlly think the cause of the housing shortage, the greatest cause, is a financial one. The builders simply can't get financial backing. As ouHn euHn terest rate 1b low and money Is high nnd the money simply gees where the Inter est rate Is high. If we lucreased our Interest rate te 8 per cent, the builders here could get the money and houses would begin te spring up. "As It Is new, net only can we net get capital te come into the state for building purposes, but our own money gees out of the state. In this situation, whllp. of course there is no wav of proving it, I Imagine that Philadelphia money Is building neuses in ether states where the legal interest rute is higher than it Is here." .

GILBERT ' , RtnfT rerrrnnnnilrnt Kvftilnit Tnblle lrtinrt Copvrteht, M0. bv rublie LtAetr Ce?' Washington, Nev. 13. In array" circles the belief prevails that General Jehn J. Pershing will be secretary f war under President-elect Harding. Army opinion may be wrong en thjs) point, but In any event It seems proba' preba' proba' bie thnt Gcnernl Pershing rather thaa General Weed will be the big man of the army for the next few years. It Is said net te he General Pershing's ambition te take the civil lab pest of secretary of war. but te be the actual head of the uniformed force as he was In France. And the present law reorganizing the army creates the office of commanding general with "n. general headquarters. Under this law it is net necessary that the general 6t the nrmy should be the commanding general. Some ether officer might he designated, but Pershing is net easy te pass ever. He is the general of the army, outranking every one else. He has the great prestige of successful leading the American Expeditionary Force. The American nrmy will be essen tially a Pershing nrmy. All of the high officers except a few of the elder gen erals, who arc near the retiring age, are men of Pershing's selection la France, who saw service under him and ewe their promotion te him. In n few venrs all thp maler eencrals and brlga- (dier generals will be comparatively young men who led troops in France or served en Pershing's staff here. A ! striking instance of the extent te which the great war remade the Americas I army Is the prominence of Brigadier , General Douglas Mat-Arthur's name as a prospective cmci ui biuil ul iuu sv- organized forces. When the war broke ,mt General MarArthur was a mojeron the general stait in asmngteir. no rose by a brilliant service te the rank of major general and today with the permanent rank of brigadier his name ' is mere discussed than any ether for chief of staff. He is but forty years old. Dlsptile Over ew List PreshJeirty WHsen. will send, te tiie Senate in Decetriber a list of major gen' eralsjind brigadier generals for conflr cenflr conflr 'metion.

They were named under the merit system having been selected iby n beard of general officers en the basis of their record in the war and Jumped ever the heads of men of higher rank and greater years. There is controversy In the army ever the choice of these men. Officers ever whose head these nominees have been Jumped charge favoritism. And the whole subject will be aired In the Senate. The chief causes of dlssatlsfac tien are that many men who held the rnnk of brigadier gcnernl In France have been preferred te men who held the rank of major general there, and that i two men, Hugh A. Drum nnd Geerge B. Mescley, hnd net had the twenty two yenVs' service in tlie army -which the law requires for appointment te tlie rank of brigadier commander.
