The House conferees agreed to the | «mendments recently proposed by the senate, providing for semi-annual payments of taxes in the District. and providing for an investigation of the existing District surplus revenues, with modifications. | The conference report provides for | | the semi-annual payment of taxes on real and personal property.” while the Senate amendment provided for the payment twice a year of taxes on “real property Inquiry Provision Rewritten.

Hope to End Controversics. | It is the hope of Senator Phipps and] other members of the conference com- | mittee that the Investigation will re sult in a final settlement of the con troversy which has been under way for several years as to the right o the District to the surplus revenue: which have accumulated in the Treas. ury, and also that the new fiscal re lations plan carried in the pending appropriation bill will set at res¢ the controversy between the House and Senate over the proportion of the ex- penses of the District which is to be borne by the District and the federal | government. | As soon as the District bill has be- ! come a law—which will foliow the | agreement of the two houses to the | conference report and the signature | of the bill by the President—the join select committee will be appointed | and the investigation will be begun during the present session of Con- gress, Senator Phipps said today. The | joint committee must report to Con- | &7ess by the first Monday in February. ‘The fact that the Inquiry has been | broadened so as to cover the yea 1874 to 1878 is not regarded by friends of the District as in any way detri- | mental to the District. The more | light let in upon the whole matter of the fiscal relations, they contend, the better it will be. Text of Agreement. The text of the conference agree- ment on the payment of taxes semi- annually Is as follows: “And that beginning with July 1, 1922, and annually thereafter, one- half of the tax levied upon taxable real and personal property in the Dis- trict of Columbia shall becdme due and payable on the lst day of No- vember of each vear and the other half of such tax shall become due and | payable upon the 1st day of May of each vear; and if either sald in- stallment of such tax shall not be paid within thirty days of the date | it i3 due and payable said installment shall thereupon bevin arrears and de- linquent and there shall then be added, to be collected with such tax, a penalty at the rate of one per cen- tum per month upon the amount thereo# for the period of such delin . said delinquency to date from such installment was due | able. and the whole together shall constitute the delinquent tax, to be dezlt with in the manner now | provided by law." The conference agreement on the Investigation of the surplus revenues of the District follows: “That a joint select committee, composed of three senators, to be ap- pointed by the President of the Sen ate, and three representatives, to bé appdinted by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is created «nd is authorized and directed to in- quire .into all matters pertaining to the fiscal relations between the Dis- trict of Columbia and the United ' States since July 1, 1874, with a view | of ascertaining and reporting to Con- ' gress what sums have been expended by the United States and by fhe Dis- | trict of Columbla, respectively, ! whether for the purpose of maintain- ing., upbuilding or beautifying the, sald_District, or for the purpose of. conducting its government or its governmental activities and agencies or for the furnishing of conveniences, comforts and necessities to the people of said District.

WHEE! SCHOOL’S 0UT AND 64,000 CHILDREN GET SUMMER RESPITE The District public schools closed today for the annual sum- mer respite. Sixty-four thousand children were turned out for a carefree three-month vacation. The vast majority of them were in hilarious spirits. There were some, nevertheless, who kissed the teacher good-bye with tears in their :ves, apparently regretting the ninety-day separation. Unlucky teacher, however, heaved a sigh of relief as the school doors closed, byt put on a white apron and again plunged into work. She must stay on the job until Friday, taking an inventory of the school supplies and performing other numerous tasks incident to the closing of the schools.

A new dévelopment today was the confession, in a signed affidavit, of sixteen-year-old William Emmich, who was with the girl during a part of her wanderings in the woods along the Sligo branch, that he mistreated her in an abandoned shed.

The $240 bonus was “fixed” five rears ago, when it became plain, even 1o the most obdurate member of Con- gress, that the old salaries of federal | workers, set sixty years ago, were not at all adequate to carry a man and his family through a year of That $240 bonus was then regarded | as inadequate, in view of the boost in the cost of living, but it did help gome, and has been tiding things over until Congress could get arouad to what all admit must come about—a | falr readjustment of salaries to meet the increased cost of living. Now comes the House appropriations com- | mittee talking about the reductions in the “principal elements” entering ! into the cost of living. “Principal Elements” Higher. The “principal elements” entering | into the cost of living are homes,| food and clothing, say the spokesmen of the clerks.

This drug was opium, it is thought, from the gifl's de- ription of its taste and effect on ier. The first drink, she said today. was given her “somewhere on the road in Brookland” by Lyles, from a bottle. She said she does not remem- ber anything after drinking liquid until she awoke in a room in the Giddings house Sunday night. “I was thirsty when I awoke,” she asserted. vater. Lyles gave me a drink, which turned my mouth and which tasted like tobacco smells.” Detectives found the wine glass from which the girl drank and noted the odor of opium therein. Lyles wil be taken to Police Court tomorrow morning with a view to} bhaving him held for the action of the grand jury on the District charge of The local authorities probably will not press this charge, it is understood, in the event Lyles is extradited on the more serious charge. | Alded by Young Hoy. In many ways tne thirty-six-hour search for Catherine was the most pe- culiar that the local police have engaged in for some time. How this young girl, said to be entirely unacquainted with the locality in which she was hiding, successtully eluded tife score of expert headquarters and precinct detectives and officers who, with tae Maryland au- thorities, scoured the woods in the out- Iying sections of Takoma Park, Md., is not easily explained. In addition, a double mystery de- veloped with the discovery Monday morning that the girl was being aided in her refuge by a fifteen-year-old boy whom she had met im the course of her' wanderings along Sligo branch. This boy, Willlam Emmich, did not return to his home until yesterday. During the exhaustive hunt through the Maryland woods and underbrush ashington detectives several times ere close on the heels of the youthful fugitive. Using typlcal “Sherlock Holmes” methods, operatives of tne ninth precinet, for instance, trailed the girl several miles through the densest thickets by noting broken weeds and rubber heel imprints which she had left in her path. Think Girl Was Drugged. This trail led into the neart of Takoma Park, on Flower street, from which point it was impossible further to trace her. Inquiries made of residents in this sec- tion failed to elicit helpful information. Catherine, before entering the woods Monday morning, was seen by several | negroes and one or two white men, all of whom testified she was acting strangely, as though “doped.” The po- lice belleve the girl may have been drugged Sunday night at the Giddings home. The girl in appearance is noth- She is of a slight, thin build, scarcely more than five feet tall and, does not look to be as old as she really is. Lyles, a short, strapping fellow, with scarred chin, has assumed & deflant at- titude ever since his arrest yesterday. Sensing an impending charge for vio- lating of the Mann act, he was quick to claim that just before crossing m the District into Maryland, he let Cathe- rine out of his surrey so that she could walk across the District line alone, picking hey o iniaither on. “and asked for a drink of! :can find any real reduction in Wash- this | | | i | : ington in the price of these three principal elements, say the opponents of the cut, it must have sources of in formation 'unknown to the average per- | son living here. ! Rents are higher here than they ever were. Increased rents alone more than make up for any slight decrease there may be in some arti- cles of clothing and in some foodstuifs. In other words, there has been no | real reduction in two of the “prin- cipal elements,” and there has been an_increase in the other *“‘element.” The National Federation of Federal Employes today turned its attention to Congress in the hope of getting an amendment adopted restoring the $240 bonus figure for the ensuing fiscal year. The cost of living, the federation asserted today, is now rising., and higher rents have offset any decrease in other expenses, so that the state- ment of the House appropriations committee that the reduction in bonus was made because of “reduc- | tions in the principal elements enter- ing into the cost of living since the | fixing of the $240 rate” is not en- tirely so. G Established Sixty Years. The present base pay, the federa- tion stated, was fixed more than sixty years ago and has not been adjusted since. The federation declared: “The $240 rate was fixed July 1. 1919, before the cost of living was anywhere near the high peak which it reached more than a year later, namely, in December, 1920. The de- cline which has occurred since then has brought It back to approximately the point where it was in July, 1919. As the $240 additional compensation was applled to a salary schedule which had been fixed in 1856, and did not represent anything like the increase in the cost of living since that time, government employes fell still farther behind in the purchasing power of their salaries during the Subsequent period Of still higher costs. They are still behind. even allowing for such decline as has oc- curred since 1920. Costs Again Rising. ‘Now prices are again on the rise, according to the bureau of labor sta- tistics and also according to Dun's| Review. Rents are notoriously higher than they were even during the war and the increase in rents alone is almost sufficient to offset any decrease in food or clothing which may appear. Moreover, busi- mness authorities and statistical agen- cles record a rise in the price of farm products, clothing, fuel, lighting, etc., which amounts to nearly 4 per cent since January, 1922. This upward trend was marked by an increase of from 1 to 2 per cent in the retail cost of food during the past month alone. ‘The wholesale price of clothing, ac- cording to Dun’s Review, has in- creased 6.6 per cent In the last month. “There can be no possible justifi- catlon for reduction of wages when living costs are rising. speclally can there be no poasible justification for decreasing the pay of government employes who have been on the same salary schedule for more thsn sixty years. The National Federation of Federal Employes will do its utmost to convince Congress that Mr. Mad- den's bill should be amended to re- store the $240 bonus rate.” {the first degree against William | Aldred Waters, otherwise known as Al Waters of Alexandria, in connec- | ' | sinla cit | him. | B0 before the United States commis- WATERS INDICTED | BYD.C.GRANDIURY, Charge of Murder Follows Report of Coroner’s Jury in Slaying on Boat.

PORTLAND, Me., June 21.—This is a poor state for marrfed men to seek office on the issue that they are better qualified than bachelors. If you don’t believe this, ask Sen: tor Frederick Hale, Gov. Percival P. Baxter, Sheriff King F. Graham of Cumberland county and some of the other candidates for minor of- fices who were successful at the recent primary election. Informa- tion available here today indicates that the bachelors had a clean sweep, defeating all of their mar- ried opponents. So disappears an- other sweet assumption: That women with the vote would see that the married men were re- warded. Both of the opponents of Senator Hale In the primaries. former Rep- resentative Frank E. Guernsey and. former State Senator Davies were married men. Of cou it was in behalf of Mr. les that the marriage issue was raised: In letters sent broadcast by both the candidate, and his wife the su- perior advantages of a married man for holding office were set forth. But it did no good, and Senator Hale, the first bachelor senator Maine has had for more than half a century, triumphed. It was recalled today that the senator is a great-great-grandson of that John Orr of Bedford. N. H.. who, fighting under Gen. Stark at i b 5 the battle of Bennington, was crip- pled, but later married and raised a large family. epresentative Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, the only woman in the House, is an- other descendant of that marriage. Gov. Percival P. Baxter, renomi- nated by a liberal majority, also is a bachelor, while the two men, who opposed him, Judge John P. Deer- ing of Saco and Leon F. Higgins of Brewer, are married, and their friends urged this fact as a reason Wwhy they should get the votes of the people. \Sheriff King F. Gra- ham, in Cumberland county, was fought rather bitterly on the issue of non-marriage by a married op- ponent, but he triumphed in an overwhelming manner. Incidentally to make the issue seem more certain three bachelors were nominated for office here in Portland, with the women recording their preference for the first time in a primary contest. The women turned out in great numbers to vote despite the fact that one of the worst storms of fifty years prevailed in this vicinity. But that made no difference to them. They plodded to the polls and cast their ballots, and the campaign man- agers agree that they ‘voted right.’ The unique contest, especially for the senatorship, provided a lot of amusement for many Maine resi- dents. Lieutenants of Mr. Davis find an excuse for his dgefeat, but when he ‘was asked for a state- ment he replied: “1 have no comment to make; no comme=nt at all.” (Copsrigut, 1922y i !
