Figure Involv- ing Home Location. Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs, has asked the Board of Tax Appeals to “umpire” a dispute over his 1927 income tax bill. Already assessed $2,763 in taxes on his 1927 income, Hornsby was notified recently he owed $8,782 more, consist- ing of $7,026 additional taxes and a 1,756 penaity for failure to file his re- port on time. Home State in Question. For one thing, the base ball star be- came ensnared in the legal tangle due to a difference of opinion as to his place of residence. In his 1027 income tax report, he said his home was at Fort Worth, Tex. Half of his income was listed in his name and the re- mainder in that of his wife, in con- formity with the Texas- community property law, which recently was sus- tained by the Supreme 3 The . Government, however, informed him all the evidence indicated his home was at St. Louis and that the only time he spent in Texas was when he visited relatives there in the Winter. The legal point was that Missouri does not have a community property law under which, by dividing the income, the amount of taxes payable is materially reduced. Listed Income Doubled. The Government, therefore, doubled the $36.603 income listed by Hornsby and added $700 world series money, $300 compensation for newspaper arti- cles and $154 “personal expenses. It also disallowed a claim by Hornsby of a deduction of $5,835 for attorney's fees in connection with sale of St. Louis National League base ball stock. Hornsby. in appealing yesterday. said the delay in filing his 1927 report was unknown and unavoidable, the Gov- ernment asserting it was filled May 17 instead of March 15. ary Jeanette Hornsby, wife of the Cubs’' manager-player, also filed an ap- peal yesterday from an additional as- sessment _of $90, plus a $22 penalty. No date has been set for hearings. - DE P. DOUW FAVORED IN ANNAPOLIS POLL Machinery Installer at Stalingrad Factory Blames Sabotage and Ignorance in Wrecking of Special Dispatch to The Star.

Despite a special drive, it is now pro- ducing less than half its quota. “I reached Stalingrad in April, 1930,” said Mr. Riesing, “and helped get the factory ready to go into productio that June. Only five tractors were made the first month. This was gradu- ally pushed up, until 12 were made in September. The peak was reached in January, when 706 were made, and then things “went wrong.

Men are shifted from machine to machine before they become competent. This makes it impossible to place blame for the wrecking of a machine or the pro- duction of faulty parts. “Ten per cent of all the tractor mo- tors made at Stalingrad are found im- perfect in their first three-hour test.

This completely disrupts the so-called chain assembl they are trying to fol- its the faulty turned out in February, due chiefly to | ha the faflure of Soviet plants to furnish cold rolled steel. Equipment Nearly Ruined. “Also the fine equipment of the plant had been nearly ruined. When I left, last April, many persons thought the | plant would have to be closed in a few months. It sounds unbelievable, but 7 per cent of the foundry machinery was ruined. In the drop-forge department 66 per cent of the machinery was ruined. | “In a few days two $50,000 American | steam hammers were broken. It was difficult to place the blame or whether it was sabotage or incompe- | tence.

In American plants the life of these bearings is six to eight years. There was no systematic main- tenance at Stalingrad, no proper re- sponeibility.

Sabotage Blamed in Part. “Sabotage unquestionably played a Heavy Colored Vote Principal Hope of Republicans in Election July 13. Epecial Dispatch to The Btar. ANNAPOLIS, Md,, June 20.—A total of 4.368 voters are eligible to cast bal- lots in the muniecipal election July 13. If statistics are of any value the Demo- cratic candidate, John De P. Douw, has the edge over his Republican rival, the incumbent, Walter E. Quenstedt, who two years ago was elected by a one- voie majority. He is the first G. O. P. mayor here in & number of years. The Democrats enjoy a lead of 758 registered voters, the official books show. Figures filed today with the Annap- olis board of election supervisors, of which George E. Rawlings of the third ward is chairman, show that Demo- crats have 2,400 voters against 1732 for the G. O. P. There are 107 regis- tered Independents, 37 declines; one Socialist and one Prohibitionist on the city books. The Socialist is Rev. James L. Smiley and the Prohibitionist, Wil- liam E. Feldmeyer. S Pigures show that the third ward now has the largest registered vote, 1262 names being on the city books. The sacond ward is close on t;ne heels of the fourth by 61 eligibles. Democrats have a three-to-one edge in the first, second and third wards, but the Republicans have much strength in the colored section or fourth ward, where they have 839 voters against 64 for the Democrats. In the last election Mayor Quenstadt was returned vic- torious through the Negro vote, although he lost the other three wards of the city by large margins. Again this year the Republicans will center their efforts in the colored section, while the Demo- cratic organization is looking to huge majorities for its candidate in the sec- ond and third warad: TRIPLETS GET DIPLOMAS FROM ALLEGANY SCHOOL Two Boys and Girl Go Through All Grades Together and Finish in Same Class.

At the same time the federation was to consider the budget it was e: that it would have presented to it a report by the Finance Committee on comparative tax burdens of the District of Columbia and Montgomery County.

ORY ENFORGENENT INPROVENENT SEEN Woodcock Celebrates Year as Chief—Declares Course Right. By the Associated Press. The view that the dry law is better | enforced now than at any time in its| history was advanced yesterday by Col. | Amos W. W. Wrcodcock, director of prohibition, as he approached the end | of his first year in that office. The quiet, slim man who was drawn by President Hoover last July 1 from | his post as United States attorney in | Baltimore was enthusiastic yesterday | over the course of enforcement. He sald: think we are on the right track now. We have been enforcing the law with less irritation to the innocent. ‘Our policy has been to aim for the higher-ups and the large commercial violators, to give our agents the best training as investigators possible, and | to do our enforcing always lawfully, | earnestly and intelligently. “After July 1 we plan no change in these aims. We will merely have larger army to carry out our policies. ‘Woodcock spoke of the past prohibi- | tion year just before departing last| night for New Orleans on a 10-day | tour of investigation that will carry him through much of the fifth prohi- bition district, comprising Texas, Mis- sissippl, Louisiana, Georgia and Ala- bama and Florida. His ideas of dry law enforcement thus carry the weight of personal in- roughout much of the country, since he already has visited each of | the other 12 districts from coast to| ; coest.

Although it was held possible that some saving might be made this vear, said: Need One-Third ore. ur force will be added to by nearly a third and to carry out the will of Congress we must maintain the staff at this increased size.” Although appearing somewhat tired by his almost constant activity of the past year, Woodcock said he was pleased not only by the smoother working of the Pederal prohibition army, but also by the decrease in fatal shootings at- tendant upon enforcing the law. “I have a feeling of gratitude.” h said, “that I can show the Prohibition Bureau is a better bureau from the standpoint of eficiency than when I took office a year ago.” CELEBRITIES ON RIVIERA Charlie Chaplin Among Well Enown Guests at Juan-les-Pins.
