A favorable report on the Phipps bill to provide an additional method for enforcing and foreclosing tax sales and tax dceds in the District was adopted today by the Board of Commissioners. “The bill is designed to enable the Commissioners to dispose of property of delinquent taxpayers which I8 not disposed of at public or private sale. Under existing law, the District 1is required to buy the properties on which the tax has not been paid, and which is not sold at public sule, and hold them until redemnption. In a report to Chairman Capper of the Senate District conuuittee on this | bill, the Commissioners potuted out that it will provide a remedy for this condition by authorizing them, in cases where property is bid in by the District, to apply to the Supreme Court of the District, sitting in equity, for the purpose of enforeing such tax lien. The bill authorizes the court to de- cree the sale of the property to sat- isfy the felinquent taxes and penalties nd costs of the suit by the collector of t r his deputy at public auc- tion advertisement.

Aamount IN KENTUCKY TOWN Prisoner Shot Jailer and Brother in Attempt to Escape—Mob Feared. By the Ascociated Press. BARBOURVILLE, Ky.. March 12 Members of the local Natlonal Guard company and six deputy sheriffs were patrolling the vicinity of the Knox County jail here today to pre- vent possible mob violence to Mor- gan Payne, who last night shot and killed Assistant Jailer Joe West and seriously wounded his brother, Bond West. Payne, an inmate of the jail, shot West as he was locking the prisoners in their cells for the night. When \Bond came to his brother’s assistance he was shot twice by Payne, who then fled He was recaptured in a running battle with 12 deputies, and returned to Jail. Shertff Sam Lewis, fearing mob vio- lence, stationed the Guardsmen and deputies about the jall. No disturb- ances were reported this morning. e announced Payne will probably be transferred to some other jail for safekeeping.

Brown, local “long-range weather forecaster,” who last Summer predicted a long, hard Winter for Washington and the country gener- ally, came forth today with a defense of his original prophecy and an at- tack on the recent announcement of the Weather Rureau that the Winter has been a mild one. L Mr. Brown says he Is going to hold to his prior prognostication, Prof, Marvin, Forecasters Mitchell and Weightman and others notwithstand- ing. Not only does Mr. Brown insist that the prégent Winter has been a long, hard one. but he goes further and de- clures that it isn't over yet. Wash- Ington may still expect some snovs, and as for the North and some of the Western States——well, Mr. Hrown just shivers to think about wha. is yet in store for them. “Why, the Weather Bureau doesn't know what it's talking about,” Mr. Brown vouchsafed today. *Imagine it giving out a statement that this has been a mild Winter, when the Winter isn't over yet! It is basing everything on averages. Average temperature doesn’'t mean a thing. The worst extremes of weather can be #moothed over by averages to muke them look like nothing at all. What would Noah's flood look like today if we figured the rainfull out on an aver We started out having snows ptember and October this Wint We have had them since. We ary ing to have some more.

Just wait until next Winter if you want to see some real, honest-to-goodness weather! It's pll because of the very cycles that Dr. Marvin says are non-existent, too, But Mr. Brown has figured it all out, he declares. Every 56.8 years since time immemorial there has been a Winter that has made man and beast sit up and take notice, he points out. There was one 55.8 years ago, another 55.8 years before that, and so on. The next flerce one falls in 1927, Brown calculates. There's no escaping It, he ass Old Man Boreas has collected a wide assortment of blizzards, cold waves and such and Is cycling his way right into the midst of us. Nothing but a Blow-out can stop him, it appears, and the averages are against such an eventuality. Mr. Hrown believes in these kinds of averages, by the Mr. Brown is an gist,” and consequently pins his faith on tides, solar constants, equinoxes and the like, to sa aforementioned cycles. Washington is suffering from a semi- annual equinoctial complex that reatens all sorts of things.

Peret, the new minister of finance, is optimistic over the condition of the French treasury and of the belief that it politics can be withdrawn from the financial situation the present per- plexities can' be removed in a most satisfactory manner. “The situation of the treasury is by no means bad,” says the minister in o statement to the Petlt Parisien. “I have no anxiety about it, even with the perspec of the treasury bonds maturing in May." The minister was convinced that the country does not lack confidence in the future. He cited as proof of this the fact that on Thursday the sales of national defense bonds ex- ceeded repayments by 1,000,000 francs. As to the government's finan- clal plan, left [n suspense by the ministerial crisis, M. Peret said he in- tended to ask the Chamber to com plete ft. Further resources would have 1o Le found to replace the re Jjected payments tax clause of the hill and to fill other gaps before the budget could e balanced. He wo on this with technical ad King | viser “I am convinced,” he declared, “that if we apply vurselves to a study | of the financial problem apart from all political considerations we shall end by solving it under the most sat- fsfactory condition. With that result attained we shall see uneasiness and anxiety disappear.
