ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Physician Waylnid on n Country
Road.

Another bold attempt at highway rob-
berry was made shortly after o'clock Sun
day evening on the Queens Chapel read
about thr Zee miles out from this city. Dr.
G. A. Richardson of Hyattsvlle. Md, had
been visiting several of his patients in the
vicinity of the Rams Horn, and was re-
turning home. He had just passed over
the little bridge across Northwest branch
and had slackened the reins SO as to allow
his horse to have a breathing spell, when
he noticed the dark forms of several men
near the roadside, only few yards in
front of him. The road at that point is
very lonely, there being no houses within
considerable distance, and exceedingly dark
owing to the number OF trees that skirt
the wayside, and the doctor was unable to
tell whether the men We're white col
ored. He was on the point of passing them
when the man nearest the middle of the
road sprang forward and grasped the reins.
The doctor called to the man to let go
the bride, and taking the whip. he struck
the horse. The frightened animal imme-
diately responded by plunging forward
with so much force that the man was
forced to relinquish his hold. being at the
same time thrown to one side of the road.
DR.. Richardson reached Hyattsville in safe
ty and reported the attempted robbery to
the authorities. but there is no clue to
the identity of the would-be highwaymen
and it is not probable that they will be ap-
pretended.

The effect would be to lower rents con-

A great stimulus would be given to build

more, as less would have to he deducted to

This would mean employment for the un-

reduction of crime arising from want.

The Single Tax Idea

To thu EiitOr Of The Evening Star:
Kindly permit me to invite public atten-
ton. through the columns of your valuable.
paper. to some of the benefits that would
result were Congress to enact the following
measure:
BE 1t enacted. ETC.. That after the Both
day of June next. no improvements on real
estate In the District of Columbia shall be
assessed for taxation
Then to secure the needed revenue the
tax on land would be doubled
The taxes on the best improved property
would be considerably lowered. probably 10
one-half.
The taxes on idle lands would be doubled
The home owner would have much less
taxes to pay, while the mere land specula-
tor would have much more
Consequently the price Of land would fall
considerably, and therefore much less
