RS SHEPARDUSED WERCURY MEDIENE Dentist Testifies to Giving Army Doctor’s Wife Mouth Wash. By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Kans, December 15.—Prosecution charges that Maj. Charles A. Shepard fatally poisoned his | wife with mercury were met with de- fense testimony in the Army medical officer’s murder trial today that another Army Medical Corps officer used bichloride of mercury in treating Mrs. Shepard. Maj. M. A- Rose, whose specialty is | dentistry, testified that under his direc- tion four or five pints of a solution of bichloride of mercury was given Mrs. Shepard as a mouth wash up to the time of her death at Fort Riley, Kans., in June, 1929. He sald Mrs. Shepard suffered from trench mouth. “Do you know whether you killed her by your treatment?” District At- torney Sardius M. Brewster demanded in cross-examining the witness. Questioned Ruled Out. C. L. K~ - Gi defense counsel ob- jected ¢ i question was ruled out | by the court without an answer from Maj. Rose. Maj. Rose testified he was called in Mrs. Shepard's case about two weexs before her death. At that time, he said, ! there was positive evidence of a trench mouth infection and none of mercury poisoning. He said he prescribed the bichloride of mercury mouth wash and warned Mrs. Shepard, Shepard and the nurse, clara Brown, the solution was poisonous | and urged them to see that Mrs. Shep- | ard did not swallow any. The mouth wash was prescribed to be used every two waking hours and was administered approximately two weeks up to the time of Mrs. Shepard's death, he_testified. Maj. Rose said the bottle, labeled “Poison” was kept on a stand near the bed and was in easy reach of the patient, who, it was brought out in the testimony of Maj. J. C. Dye, Fort Riley eve specialist, told him during | her illness: Quoted as Wanting to Go. “Why don't you let me go. I won't get well, anyhow.” Maj. Rose said that each pint of the mouth wash contained about two grains | of bichloride of mercury and that the treatment brought a gradual improve- ment in the condition of Mrs. Shepard’s mouth. After the autopsy Maj. Rose stated he took smears from the ulcers in the stomach of Mrs. Shepard—which the Government alleges were caused by mer- cury poisoning—and found under micro- scopic test evidence of Vincent's angina, or trench mouth, “Vincent’s angina is fatal in some cases,” he testified. HINDU-MOSLEM PARLEY WITH MACDONALD FAILS Sect Representatives Meet at Country Place in Vain Effort to Agree. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 15.—Despite the best offices of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, the differences between Hindu and Moslem delegates to the Indian Round Table Conference still re- main and present what may be an insurmountable obstacle to conference success. The prime minister had as his guests over the week end at Chequers repre- sentatives of both religious sects and attempted to effect a compromise be- tween them, but found his efforts nc more availing than those of other negotiators for more than a century past. The cbjection of the Moslem minority to unequal representation in the pro- Jjected Indian legislature is one of the chief bones of contention between the two camps. UNIVERSITY WINS SUIT TO REMOVE INSCRIPTION American Architect Loses Fight for Library Sentence Recalling World War Hatreds. Religious BRUSSELS, December 15.—The Court of Appeals today decided against Whit- ney Warren, American architect, in the now-famous Lcuvain Library suit by pronouncing in favor of Louvain Uni- which stood out for removal of nscription on the library facade. The inscription, reading “Destroyed | by Teutonic tury, restored by American generosity,” was objected to by the uni- versity as tending to perpetuate hatreds of the World War. Warren refused to | withdraw it, and the lower courts sus- tained him. ZEPPELIN TICKET UNPAID| Navy Asks Congress to Allow $143 for Officer’s Trip. Lieut. Jack C.

THE EVENING OTHER NATIONS STAR, WASHINGTON, THAN THE U. S. LIBERALLY AID THEIR CAPITALS Results of Extensive Survey in 1915-16 Along Lines Suggested by Mr. Simmons Are Recalled. Should the House Fiscal Inquiry Committee act on the suggestion made | by Representative Simmons of Nebraska and institute an investigation into the method by which capitals of other na- tions are financed—with special refer- ence to the solutions applied to the problem of support for the cities in which seats of Government are located —the committee would be retracing steps that were taken in 1915-16 by citi- zens of the District, who presented | comparable data for the information of the Joint Select Committee then in- vestigating fiscal relations. But unless there have been drastic changes in law and a revision of prin- ciples then discovered as directing the amount of aid that national govern- ments furnished their capital cities, the inquiry would not, as Mr. Simmons forecasts, show that Washington is the only city in the world “that takes the position of demanding something from | the Federal Government or the Gov- ernment agencies in their midst.” The Reverse Is True. The facts that are just the opposite, gen- erally ~speaking. It developed that Washington is not the only city that takes the position outlined by Mr. Sim- mons. But Washington is about the only important national capital where the question is ever raised, it being taken for granted elsewhere that the | national government owes a distinct | debt to support of its capital, and in larger or less degree appropriates for such purposes_generously. In 1915-16 Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian of the Washington Public Li- and John Barrett, the former di- rector of the Pan-American Union, un- dertook a joint survey of the support rendered other foreign capital cities by the national governments. Dr. Bower- man'’s research covered, generally speak- ing, the cities of Europe, and much of | Maintained partly or in whole by the his information was compiled with the sistance of the State Department, which distributed his questionnaires through American consuls general. Barrett took the principal South America. These researches last- ed several months and produced thick pages of data. Mr, The results of the survey, together with other data, were for convenience | arranged in tabuler form by Theodore W. Noyes for use in his argument and in the brief presented by the Joint Citi zens’ Committee on Fiscal Relations, enabling the Members of Congress to determine at a glance the status of national-local fiscal relations in other capitals, as well as the political status of the taxpaying members of the other capitals. In addition, a series of arti- cles in The Star develcped the points of interest in connection with the specific and extraordinary capital im provement plans followed by other gov- ernments, one of the chief points be- ing that the American Congress could with advantage study capital financing methods of European and especially South American capitals. The exam- ples in South America were considered especially apt, in view of the somewhat similar_constitutional provisions setting aside Federal districts. Table Summarized Findings. The table, which appears on pag> 300 of the hearings (Senate Document No. 247, 1916), divided into five classes the capitals considered, the first being the capitals of rcpublics which, like the United States, have federal districts under national control; the second, the capitals of republics which have no distinct federal districts under some special national control; the capitals of locally self-governing Brit- ish colonies, and fifth, the capitals of the then strongly centralized mon- archies, Berlin, Vienna and Budapest. It was found that the inhabitants of all the capital cities paid federal taxes, as the members of the local community do here, and with two ex- ceptions the nations spent liberally for national objects in their capitals. The degree of exceptions noted was merely that in Switzerland and in the Union of South Africa, the capital cities of | Berne' and of Cape Town were treated the same as other municipalities. Most of the other governments were found to be contributing “lavishly” to the sup- port of their capitals. It was noted that in the case of Ottawa there was dissatisfacticn over the amount of ap- propriations for capital development, protested as being inadequate, a matter that development on a fine scale in the Canadian capital has tended recently to correct. Washington an Exception. It was found that in every case— with the outstanding exception of Washington—the national governments of other countries encouraged the de- velopment of local taxable resources, such as industrial development, that would enable the more easily to bear their individual tax burdens. It was pointed out in this connection, that “the United States, alone among nations under a system- atlc thcugh unwritten policy, cripples the commercial growth of ‘Washingtc: thus reducing to a minimum its taxabl resources and its ability to meet un- aided the heavy drain of National Capi- tal municipal expenses.” Interesting extensions of this policy have been shown recently in the promi- | nent part taken by the National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission, the Fine Arts Commission and other Fed- | eral bodies in fighting industrial de- velcpment, in Arlington county, Va., in an area that lies outside their Federal city jurisdiction. The commercial de- velopments were of a nature that would have been objectionable, in view of the Federal plans for adjaeent Wash- ington. The citizens themselves joined in the fights, and so far they all have ended in victory. “Congress,” read the argument accom- panying the table, “has historically dis- couraged Washington's commercial and industrial growth. It has deprived the Washingtonian of the means of self- support found in the local industries that develop in the ordinary American city. It has concentrated the great local industries, corresponding to the factories, mills, and manufacturing plants of other cities, in the hands of the Government and then, by the ap- portionment-of-offices law, shuts out from the classified service of these great national-local industries all who | claim Washington as a residence, in- cluding the growirg youth of the city. Thus Congress denies the Capital great industries of its own; it shuts out Wash- ingtonians from the national-local in- dustries; it drives out from the city the} growing youth to seek elsewhere the' means of self-support.” Many Different Plans. A diversity of conditions was found 2s to whether the national governments elsewhere contributed to muncipal ex- penses, either discriminating in favor of the capital cities in this respect or contributing alike toward all the cities of the nation. Nearly all the nations were found to be contributing some- thing toward municipal expenses of the capitals, some of them very little, some of them in large amounts. Some of them made no discrimination between the capital cities and, the other cities in such contribution; some of them discriminated in favor of the capital cities, Nearly all the nations were found to make such contributions by meeting wholly or in part heavy items of municipal expense, such as police, fire department, education, sanitation. street improvement, etc., and not by appropriating under a continuing law fxed amounts or a fixed percentage of [ the total municipal expenses, In Cape Town, for instance, the union ,govern- research of 1915-16 disclosed cities of | third, | local communities | ment as & property owner paid a fixed sum in lieu of taxes, mutually agreed upon. In Ottawa, Pretoria and Rome/ the capital communities were dissatis- | fied with the amount of national money | appropriated toward the maintenance and upbuilding of the capitals. At | that time Ottawa was proposing to ‘-usslmllate the financial conditions and relations to those of the District of Columbia. Exact information is at | this time lacking, but since the report the Dominion government has made fine progress in capital development. Lump Sum Too Small. Pretoria_adopted a lump-sum appro- priation, but the capital comm?x:'s?y protested that it was too small. In Rome the capital community and the nation decided as far back as 1870— about the time that the United States was awakening to its responsibilities in Capital City development—to go ahead jointly bearing the expenses of a pro- gram designed to make the Eternal City one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. For street improvement alone a municipal loan of $30,000,000, guar- anteed by the national government, was made. The work of improvement went ahead so fast that the local community found itself heavily debt burdened, and | there were numerous complaints at the time the inquiry was made that the | national government was not assuming | its share of the responsibilities. Paris, Buenos Aires~and Rio were found to be capitals enjoying the ben- efit of lavish donations for improvement {out of national funds. France was | shown to be contributing about $2,000,- | 000 annually for the Paris police, with |a large and fixed additional sum for | strect and sidewalk making and im- | provement. Almost universally in the |case of foreign capitals it was found | that the police were a part of the na- | tion’s military establishment and were nation. Other Capitals Have Voice. It was found that every capital in the world except Washington was repre- sented on equal terms with other cities the national government. Every capital in the world except Washington has a voice in respect to questions of local taxation, and either controls or participates influentially in municipal government. Since the report was made an interesting change has developed in Havana, Cuba’s capital, a city which | was not, however, included in the table | or discussion of 1916. After many years | | of dual and overlapping responsibility, | divided between the local and national | governments, in the financial support of | the municipality of Havana, Cuba de- |cided by constitutional amendment | within the last year to take over the government of the municipality and with it the financial obligation for sup- port of the city. It had heretofore sup- | ported such agencies as the police and bore the majority burden of education. | Now it has created a federal district under exclusive federal control, as in | the case of the District of Columbia. The residents of Havana, however, stili | | retain their voting status as Cuban | citizens. Unsatisfied With Power. | It was developed that some of the practically self-controlled and locally self-governed capitals were dissatis- filed with the degree of interven- | tion and control in their munic |ipal affairs exercised by the na- | tional government. Paris, Athens and Christiania were seeking larger freedom of action and increased authority and power in their own municipal govern- ments, despite the fact that they en- joyed full representation in the national governments and maintained governing councils permitting local self-taxation in gnunicipal affairs. iscussing the subject whether there is any special obligation upon the na- tions to develop or maintain the capi- talg, the argument of 1916 pointed out that in the case of Washington there isa double obligation—(1) that arising from the circumstances of the creation of the Capital, and (2) that which is coupled with and measured by the ab- solute control of the Nation's City. “The Nation's obligation,” as set forth in the argument by Mr. Noyes, “to Washington under the first head | is not duplicated in the case of any other of the world's capitals, except Canberra, capital of Australia,” | which then was still in the planning stage. “In respect to a few other capi- tals (Mexico City, Paris, Rio, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome) a national obliga- tion of this second kind is recognized, measured by the degree of peculiar con- trol exercised over them in each case by the nation. This equitable obliga- tion is substantial in the case of Mexico | and of Paris and much slighter in the | case of Rio, Buenos Aires, Athens and | Rome. But even Mexico and Paris fall | far behind Washington in the height and breadth of this obligation. True Basis Not Taxation. “The true bas's of this Nation's obli- | gation of proportionate contribution toward the maintenance and develcp- | ment of the Capital is not solely or primarily untaxed ownership of Dis- | trict real estate, though a substantial and continuous obligation does arise in | connection with such ownership. The | strongest obligations resting upon the | Naticn are equitable in their nature | and based primarily on the circum- stances of the Capital'’s creation and the treatment of the Capital by the Nation ever since the birth of the Na- tion's city. The general Government, | by the fact of planning a magnificent | Capital, covering a larger area and | characterized by broad streets, avenues and reservations to an extent unsuit- able for a self-supporting commercial | | city, and by founding this Capital in {a place comparatively uninhabited, as well as by the terms of the bargain with the owners of the soll, and by the declaration of its representatives at the founding of the city and after- wards, showed an intention to build up a national city at the Nation's expense, on a grand scale, irrespective of the fu- ture population of the District. The Capital was to be primarily a center of Federal action, and the occupation cf the ground by settlers was merely incidental to this great purpose. The original owners of Washington donated five-sevenths of the city's soil and yielded the right of self-government to the Nation on the understanding and implied agreement that the Nation was to build up here a magnificent Capital at its own expense, reimbursing itself from the proceeds of the sale of do-| | nated lots. A pretentious city was planned and lots were sold by the Gov- | ernment on the strength of this un- derstanding. For three-fourths of a| century the Nation violated or neglected the obligations which it had thus in-| curred But in 1878 the Government, which had in the beginning impliedly | undertaken to meet all the expenses of | Capital making and then shifted that | burden, in the main, upon private citi- zens, decided that justice required it to pay one-half of the District’s ex- penses. Obligation Follows Power. “. . . The second obligation is that | obligation is coupled with power, that ' i5, financial obligation is coupled with political pcwer. If the Nation controls, it pays; and to the extent that it con- trols it pays. Washington is the only city in the world in which, if certain proposed policies prevail, the Nation would do all the controlling and none of . Paris wants France to pay without controlling; some men would have the United States control without paying. “In Canberra . , , as supreme na- tional control of the capital may be ex- D. C, emplified as in the case of Washing- wnxz’ but if so, this condition will result from the fact that the nation will se- cure and retain fee-simple title to all the land in the federal district and ment control in an_interesting social- istic experiment. In Washington, if certain theories prevail, the Nation will retain exclusive and complete control of the Capital, equal to that of Can- berra, without extinguishing by pur- chase all individual title to property and without even recognizing and meet- ing of obligations which arise from partial ownership and full control...” Lessons in South America. Pointing to some of the “lessons learned” from the study of South American capitals, it was emphasiz several years before the Federal Gov- ernment undertook the present Federal building program—that if the United States followed the example of Brazil and Argentina in capital building, it would be far more liberal “in capital creation and upbuilding on purely na- tional lines.” “n the District, it was pointed out, sucia expenditures are pro- vided in others than the District bill and are made solely from national revenues, to which Washingtonians con- tribute on precisely the same basis as all other Americans. ‘The existence of the relationship between the Capital community and the Federal establish- ment as regards the financing of muni- cipal needs has no logical connection, it was stated, with the projects of a national character in Capital develop- ment. Until the present Federal pro- gram was begun, the United States lag- ged beh:d Argentina and Brazil in developing their capitals along national lines. Instead of crippling the Capital in- dustrially, commercially and in every means of local self-support, the Nation, as in Brazil and Argentina, should fos- ter in it every possible taxable resource, so legislating for it as to make it pros- perous and able to meet substantial municipal taxation, it was emphasized, and in addition the Nation should | today he has been commissioned to make definite and substantial contribu- tion to municipal maintenance, either in accordance with substantive law or through the substitution of another plan providing for an equally definite, substantial, proportionate contribution.

The plans for municipal aid in these cities, however, were not held to be as sound as the plan followed with respect to Washington under the proportionate contribution system—s system that remains in law at the present time, but which has been legis- | latively evaded since 1924. If the ex-| amples of Rio and Buenos Aires were followed in the matter of representa- tion in affairs of Government, Wash- | ingtonians would have, like other Americans, it was shown, representa- tion in Congress and the Electoral Col- lege, and, without disturbing national control of the Capital by Congress, a | larger participation, direct or indirect, | in "settlement of the questions how | much and by what methods and for what purposes they shall be taxed. In Mexico City the nation collected municipal taxes, but, disregarding en- tirely the proportionately small contri- bution of the local community, appro- priated liberally from the national | funds (to which the residents of the| Mexican capital contributed just as| Washingtonians do) for municipal ob- Jects. The people there also have nor- mal representation in the national gov- ernment. In the case of Mexico the “nationalizing” of the capital is coupled with full representation for the people in the national government, it was pointed out, and with the grant through local municipal governments of power to participate with the nation in local government—as is now provided for Havana.
