I Unfairness Charged. That the terms laid down by Mary- land under which that state will enter into motoring reciprocity with the Dis- trict of Columbia do not appeal to all local motordom, despite the favorable attitude of Engincer Commissioner Kel- ler and the indorsement of the A. A. A., was made evident in a general expres- sion of opinion yesterday following the announcement that the Maryland offer would be reported favorably to Con- gress by the District Commissioners. |” While reciprocity is generally de- sired, many local car owners object to Maryland naming what District motor- { ists “should pay to operate their cars, others are opposed to a gasoline tax, and not a few believe that free high- ways communication in the United States is a citizen right to be protected by federal legislation, not. to be bar- gained for and then withheid should the terms not prove satistactory. Opposes Plan in Letter. Regarding the latter phase of the situation, one Washington motorist, writing to the District Commissioners, said: “Maryland seeks to sel us a privi- lege, or, inversely, to withhold the en- forcement of a penalty which she in- flicts upon us if we, in turn, tax our- selves to enable her to tax both her citizens and ours still more. If this method of bargaining were conducted between private citizens instead of sovereign states, the private citizens would be skirting on the border line of blackmail. Maryland's present offer is not re- garded favorably by those motorists who have figured what their annual tax would be under the proposed term One owner who operates a so-called heavy type car requiring a Maryland tag on a thirty-horsepower and a small car which is taxed nineteen-horsepower basis, each at 60 cents per horsepower, and Dis- trict tags at $3 and $5, has calculated that on 10,000 miles per year for each | car the gasoline tax would be greater than the present horsepower fee. He points out that he gets about twelve miles per gallon of gas with his small car and about nine with the heavy machine. { Opposition has been expressed also | 1by the sellers. “All Wrong in Principle.” “The Maryland proposal is all wrong in principle,” declared Presi- dent C. H. Warrington of the Wash- ington _Automotive Trade Associa-| tion. ot only it wrong in prin- ciple, but a gasoline tax is fraught with many dangers and, once put| into effect, is susceptible to many | manipulations that might result dis- } astrousl Our organization has given much thought to the terms i which Maryland would impose and | has decided that the interests of our customers would be better served b tour workimg for federal legistation creating national motoring reciproc- ity. Automobile dealers everywhere lare striving constantly for a lower icost of user operation, which thel Maryland plan does not hold out, so we stand opposed to its adoption.” Among the large number of car owners opposed to adoption of the gas tax are those who do not buy Maryland tags, operating their m chines entirely within the Distr ind running up to ten and fifteen thousand miles annually. These in- clude private owners, who go into aryland only so far as the Conduit road extends and who take their country excursions in Virginia, and also_business houses using fleets of machines for local delivery only. {These, under the two-cent-a-gallon {tax plan, would be confronted with an operating cost increased from $3 !to approximately $20 a machine. Tt is expected that this phase of the situation will have the immediate at- tention of the Merchants and Manu- Opposes A. A. A. Opiniom General opposition to the Maryland iplan, as gathered by a Star reporter. is well expressed in a letter written to the District Commissioners by W. P. Helm and which might be said to sérve as the composite opinion and complaint of a host of autoists. “The District Commissioners.” said Mr. Helm, “should not give serious | consideration to the so-called exnres-l sion of- opfnion optained by the A. A. A.. because any such expression {is simply a statement of what a few A. A. A. members believe and does not_represent the true senti- |ment of Washington automobile own- ers. / ,"If the Commissioners want to obtain the real opinion of Washington automo- le owners they should obtain it them- selves independent of any motor organ- ization which represents only a small minority. ““The District Commissioners should not seriously consider the Maryland pro- posal as a basis of reciprocity, because: Attacks Maryland Plan. “(a) The levy of a tax on gasoline should be considered purely from the | point of raising revenue for the District of Columbia and not as a sop to a state which holds up Washington motorists at its state line and compels them to pay toll over her roads.

In announcing the recognition of the Albanian government the State Department is understood to have! acted on the recommendation of Max- well Blake, for many vears a member of the consular service, who fecently went to Albania to investigate condi- tions. He heretofore has acted as American commissioner there and will } remain, with the rank of minister.

FOUR NEW NATIONS PROBED Legislator Charges: Millions of Public Moneys Have Dis- appeared in Recent Months. CROWDER GETS REPORT| President’s Representative Issues Statement Saying U. §. Interven- tion Depends on Finances. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, July 28.—Ingluded in the list of twenty-seven special treasury funds exceed!ng §9,000,000, which Representative Bartolme Sagaro al- leged yesterday in a denunciation of the supreme court had disappeared from the national treasury, &re pos- tal money orders aggregating $1,820. 077, port works funds totaling 254,140 and civil retirement funds amounting to $2,370,428, it was dis- closed today. Treasury department figures for May and June show a total income of $9,700,000 with expenses of $7,000,000, Representative Sagaro declared. Since none of these expenses have been paid, the complainant charges, there is an evident malversation of the mount received. The unjustified difference between receips and disbursements during the last fiscal year, Representative Sa- 'garo declared, is shown by treasury department records which contain or- ders for the payment or $68,500,000; but receipts for expenditures of $77,- 000,000. The securities alleged to have dis- appeared from the national treasury were deposited with the government by the Banco Nacional, now being liquidated, as guarantees for federal funds deposited in the bank. They are understood to be in the hands of the federal controllers. Representative Sargaro filed other charges with the Havana court of oyer and terminer. petitioning an in- vestigation into what he alleged were fraudulent payments of $1,000,000 by the paymaster's department of the | national treasury and extensive funds in the mational lottery, the department of public works and the Havana street cleaning depart- ment. Copies_of Representative Sagaro's charges have been furnished to Maj. Gen. E. H. Crowder, special American representative in Cuba. who was quoted in a memorandum made pub- lic in part by the state department last night as derlaring American intervention in Cuba depended upon the financial measures taken by the executive and legislative brafiches oF the Cuban government The United States must be reasona- bly sure, the memorandum set forth, that it would not have to act under the permanent treaty and the Cuban constitution to obtain prompt pay ment of interest and amortization of the Proposed ne¥ loan or existing loans. It was evident. the memoran- dum added, that the Washington gov- ernment’s confidence that it would not { have to perform such a_disagreeable duty “must proceed from the means | which must be adopted by the legis- lative and executive branches of the | Cuban government.” It was believed this portion of the Crowder memorandum was made pub- lic to set at rest reports attributed to the State Department that Gen. Crowder had decided to abandon his mission as special representative in Cuba of President Harding if his sug- gestions were flouted. Alarmist stories published by thei morning newspaper La Nacion re- garding the Cuban army resulted to- day in the closing of the publication on orders from the searetary of gov- ernment. What simmered down to be simply the desertion of three enlisted men was heralded by La Nacion yes- terday as a threatened revolt of the army. Two months ago. under a dif- ferent management, La Nacion caused a sensation by carrying on a cam- palgn of hate against the United States. 2 Match Your Odd Coat With Our Special TROUSERS 65 - Save the price-of an’en- tire new suit.

Wynn of Indian- apolls, killed yesterday in a €00- foot fall from & cliff near the ‘mountain's .summit. . The ledge upon which the body lodged was almost inaccessible, necessitating slow work. i Dr. Wynn, president of the Amer- fcan Alpine Club and one of Amer- ica’s foremost ‘mountain® climbers, in_company witlt Dr. H.Goddard, also of Indianapolis, had almost reached the top of the mountain, one of the highest peaks in the park, when, 'his companion said, Le appeared to suffer an apoplectic stroke_and fell .from a narrow ledge. Dr. Goddard, who was a few minutes behind Br. Wynn on the trail, said the body pitched over the I before he could reach him. The body of Dr. Wynn, who was fAifty-eight years old, will be taken to_Indianapolis. The party which Dr. Wynn was leading was composed of a dozen .of the most prominent members of the American Alpine Club. Dr. Wynn has gulded similar parties through Glacler Park for the past eight years, each year scaling a new mountain and leaving the club mark at the summit. In addition to these expeditions Dr. Wynn had to his credit the scaling of several of the most difficult Alpine peaks. Mount Siyeh and Mount St. Nich- olas were the only peaks in the park which he had never climbed. Twice before his party attempted Mount Siyeh. but failed. It was hoped this year would see the club emblem on its summit. Mrs. Wynn and their son were among the party in the park; although not on the trip which brought Dr. Wymnn's death. — BIG FREIGHT INCREASE. Higher by 20 Per Cent.

Warwick, former con- troller of the Treasury, addresed the members of the Civitan Club at the new City Club yesterday afternoon. | Taking as his theme “What the Budget Means to the Taxpayer,” Judge Warwick explained In detail the working of the system. and said it was nothing more than what any modern business establishment usel today. He ridiculed the idea, held by many, he said, that the budget was in- stalled to reduce the-salaries of govern- ment employes, and declared that it was not intended as a medium to save money, but to get 4nd spend it a businessiike fashion. Sees Future Approval. He importuned all business men to study the system carefully, and said that when the time came and an up-to- citizens of America none would appr ate the budget more than business men. Judge Warwick dwelt at length on taxation, and said that when, through the budget, people learned what was being done, and what was necessary for the good of the country, there {would be less “hullabaloo” over legitimate taxation. The speaker was tendered a rising vote of thanks by the membership. Rudolph Jose presided, and an- nounced that the club would visit the Civitan fresh air camp, at Patuxent, Md.. Saturday afternoon.
