Criminal Action Hinted. “The Treasury Department has at- tempted,” said Mr. Gibson, “to make more than one purchase in this tri- angle since it became apparent that | the Federal Government intenedd to buy there, but has been forced to de- | sist because of the excessive prices demanded.” He strongly intimated criminal proceedings are being considered. In uing his investigations re- | garding these real estate transactions, Mr. Gibson questioned William P. { Benson, chairman of the District Jury | Commission, and a member of the firm {of B. F. Saul Co. This commission | is expected to take a prominent part {in the negotiations for acquisition of | the Mall triamgle. Mr. Benson said ! the condemnation jury system was in !a chaotic condition when he took | charge. Replies to Contention. Teplying to the contention that the condemnation juries include too many Al estate men, Mr. Benson explained ithat there are only 12,000 to l_I),']!\O | citizens eligible for duty on such juries ! and that, with some 1,500 engaged in ! the real estate business, the proportion is about 1 in 10, which, he sald, was labout the same ratio as bankers ap- | pearing on these juries. ) 1”'M. C. Hargrove, District purchasing | agent, was questioned regarding the | contract for auto license tags made Iwilh the Marking Device Corporation of Tilinois, and particularly regarding the part played by Repr@semau\'eeleqt | James T. Igoe. Mr. Hargrove said | that the contract had been let in strict conformity with the law, and that Mr. Igoe had not personally appeared in any contractual relations with the | District_government. | " Paul D. Banning of the Bureau of Efficiency testified regarding tax-as- | cessment methods. He advocated | amendment of the 1aw to allow asses- |sors to inspect property, examine | books and records, and permitting the assessor to demand a sworn tax re- turn from any resident of the District, with mandamus proceedings as an al: ternative. Testimony on Courts. George E. Sullivan, a member of the { local bar, which investigated court congestion, opposed before the sub- committee the plan to assign more than one Municipal Court judge’ to Police Court, but did not oppose the roposed court merger. PP amplified his position to Mr. Gibson this morning in a letter in Which he said, “In my opinion, the merger bill as drawn would not en- danger the perpetuation of the good Work of the Municipal Court, but Would be calculated to extend to the Police Court (by its new name, as a | branch of the Municipal Court), the admirable system now prevailing in the Municipal Court; whereas the mere temporary taking of a number of judges away from the Municipal Court, from time to time, would only cripple that court, without effecting necessary changes in system required or village), for “‘exclusively public pur: poses” are deductible. A gift of real estate to a city to be maintained per- petually as a public park is deductible. Claims for deductions for contribu- tions or gifts mu Taxpayers are required to their returns the names and addresses of each organization to which a gif{ was made, the approximate date, and the amount of the gift in each case. HUMANE SOCIETY WOULD PUNISH CRUEL DRIVERS «Drastic Action” Sought Against Motorists Who Injure Animals and Fail to Stop. “Drastic action” is sought by the Washington Humane Society against automobile drivers who fail to stop after running down animals, and a campaign, expected to assume Nation wide proportions, is under way to arouse public indignation against of- fending drivers that they may be prosecuted. The soclety’s executive committee has adopted a resolution to seek the co-operation of the local Police De- partment, and the Amer n Automo- bile Association has promised to take the matter up editorially in its va rious publications. In accordance with the resolution adopted the society would require any person injuring a cat or dog to treat the animal, or try to find its owner and if unsuccessful in the latter at- tempt take the animal to the Animal Rescue League, where it could be cared for. The society's agents have been fnstructed to get the tag num bers of the drivers failing to stop. “We want to arouse public indigna- tion against the offenders,” said James P. Briggs, who introduced the resolu- tion before the executive committee. “The people must be made to realize that there is a certain sanctity to animal life that should be safeguard- ed.” The resolution is to be present- dcd to the local police in the next few ays. Traffic Director M. O. Eldridge to- day, when told of the society’s action, said there is mnothing in the trafic regulations to cover such offenses, but expressed himself as being in sympathy with the action taken by the soclety. Will Celebrate Anniversary. ‘The thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers will be cele- brated by the James F. Oyster Par- ent-Teacher Association in the school building, tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock. The program includes sing- ing and a pageant by the children of the school. A birthday cake bear- ing 30 candles will be previded.
