By the Associated Press. Renowned as relentless trackers of criminals, Uncle Sam’s Justice agents have launched a renewed campaign to ;bring into the law’s dragnet a number of criminals still at large. As a result of the new effort to ap- prehend Federal fugitives, the De- partment of Justice announced today 14 arrests were recorded last week, and a concentrated effort to track down a number of other fugitive criminals now in progress. Although there are several. hun- dred names of persons listed as fugi- jtives on the department’s rolls, many of them are believed to be dead, while others have isolated themselves 'from civilization in little-visited and wild regions of South American jun- gles or snow-bound forests of Can- nda. Among the noteworthy fugitives the department said are being pur- sued closely are: Charles D. Hurl- bert, wanted for a 1914 Portland, Oreg., bank embezzlement; James B. O'Neil, a 1926 Los Angeles Liberty bond embezzlement; George I Hill, for a Los Angeles Veterans' Bureau embezzlement; Basil Banghart, rob- ber of a South Bend, Ind., capital- ist's home after breaking out of the Atlanta Penitentiary, and John R.

With her famous “hot dog justice case” still pending on an_appeal, Vir- ginia, by virtue of her State income tax law, again finds herself at issue with residents of the District of Co- lumbia_who daily enter her borders, it _developed to Under the Virginia State income-tax law, residents of the District of Co- lumbia_who earn their salaries or through the conduct of business in that State receive monetary livell hood there, are obliged to pay a tax to the State of Vriginia on those in- comes, despite the fact that they may not vote in Virginia and that they pay the personal property tax levied by the District government An issue has been made of the case by R. B. Swope, president of an oxy- gen manufacturing company, whose plant and offices are located at South Washington, Arlington County, Va. Mr. Swope’s company pays the Vir- ginla_State corporation tax and he himself, being a_resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia, pays the District personal property tax and the Dis trict of Columbia automobile tax, sends his children to District schools, and is a bona fide resident of the Capital. Receives Tax Blank. Last vear he received a Virginia State income tax blank similar to th- Federal income tax questionnaire. Up on ‘the informal advice of Arlington County revenue authorities, who, he declares, told him the State income tax law would certainly be altered in its relation to non-residents, Mr. Swope ignored the tax blank. Recent- ly, however, he was notified by the Arlington County commisisoner of revenue that the State income tax would have to be paid. Mr. Swope wrote a letter, July 1, to C. H. Morrissett, Virginia State tax commissioner, in which he formally registered his objection to the payment of such a tax and in which he request- ed Mr. Morrissett to “advise your in- structions regarding the payment of 8 taxation on your income derived from GINGER ALK A.CHERRMANN, YEARS and years ago we ger Ale we knew how to it ever since.

The lerm ‘labor per- formed’ carries with it the idea of physical presence in Virginia when the labor is performed. If you spend an inconsequential part of your time in Virginia you are not subject to the Southern Oxygen Co., Inc. On the other hand, if you spend an ap- preciable amount of your time in Vir- ginia in performance of your duties as president of the company so that it may be said that your salary is earned by the sweat of your face in Virginia, then you are taxable upon such income so earned in, Virginia.” “Objector on Principle.” It so happens that by availing him- self of all the exemptions allowed by the law Mr. Swope complied with the legal requirements by merely filing the questionnaire and without the ac- tual payment of the tax. But he has expressed himself as an ‘“objector on principle” on behalf of the 20 members of his compuny’'s roll of 25, who are bona fide residents of the District of Columbia, Harry Green, revenue commissioner of Arlington County, said this morn- ing that the rate of taxation under the Virginia income tax law is the same in its application to residents of Virginia who work in that State, to residents of Virginia who work outside the State and to non-residents of Virginia, who work within the State. Only employes of the Federal Govern- ment are exempt from taxation under the State law as this exemption is guaranteed them by a Federal law, Hundreds of objections have been filed against the payment of income taxes under the State law by non-residents of Virginia, Mr. Green said, and it is likely that some action will be pro- ASSETS SECURITIES LIABILITIES RESERVES: $100 to $25 on the new PP P e e P e P Pt et P et T Rt et ettt P P Pt P PP 21 X CASH IN BANKS . c o BILLS and ACCOUNTS.

It was contended by the Virginia_authorities that Dr. W. Ash- by Frankland, who lives in Washjng- ton and maintains a Summer cottage in Virginia, south of Alexandria, is a resident of Virginia by virtue of his cottage address. On this ground, they contend that Dr. Frankland is a law violator when he drives his automo- bile, bearing only District of Columbia license tags, to and from the cottage. At his first trial, Dr. Franklind was tried In & court set up in a_“hot dog” stand and the case was subsequently continued and heard in a general store, at which time a nominal fine was imposed upon the Washington doctor. Dr. Frankland appealed the case, however, and it will be called again at Fairfax, Va., September 16. Signs Air Tourists. Correspondence of the Associated Press.
