The European Relief Council, com- posed of children's relief organizations, probably will meet in New: York or Washington at an early date, having been urged by President Harding and Secretary Hoover to co-operate with the relief administration in fighting famine in Russia under one organization. A letter from President Harding in- dorsing the effort to mitigate famine in Russia and asking unity of the rolief work in one American organ- ization was made public yesterday by Mr. Hoover. “My particular purpose in address ing this letter to you,” the President said, “is to emphasize_my wish that the * distribution in Russia of all charity arising in the United States Miss Eloise Moots has re- signed at th’ Monarch 5 & 10 an’ll devote her whole attention t’ her hair.

Detectives from police headquarters started an investi- gation into the case today. Although Senator Ball received a number of threatening letters at that time, declaring that he would be shot if he persisted in his efforts to extend the life of the rent act, the senator has never been inclined to believe that the shot which tore his trousers with- out entering the body was in- tended for him. He has said nothing about it and has gone on m& way with the rent legislation. t the time of the shooting Sen- i ! INVESTIGATION STARTED to the increase in the tax rate last year from $1.50 to $1.95 per $100 of as- sessed value on real estate and tangi- ble personal property. The Increase in the tax rate had to be made by the Commissioners as a result of the action of Congress in ordering the District to meet 60 per cent of the annual appropriations in stead of 50 per cent, which had been the District’s share for many years. Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes paid last year amounted to $8,024,344.80. Of this amount $7,214,069.12 was on taxes for the current year, while the balance of approximately a million dollars was paid on tax bills that have been in ar- rears from preceding Years. . The collector’s report shows 'that there is another million dollars of last year’s real estate tax levy still unpaid. ‘This delinquency occurs ARARRAS better than it was last summer, bureau’s statement said. “In fact, the the average gasoline sold today is much identical in quality with that sold last winter. “Surveys have indicated that gaso- line on the market during the winter mo ths 4-rine the summer months. is more volatile than that eet.

It was pointed out that Mr. Lodge as a delegate to the disarmament conference would in no sense be a civil officer of the government, since sul and arrangements made to send them to their homes.
