DISTRICTS BILLS
AT WRONG WINDOW
Comptroller of Currency
Turns Down Auto Ex-
penSe of Collector.
OFFICIAL DECISION
HE SUPPLEMENTS
Holds That to Pay Such Bill
Would Set a Precedence for
Every City.

once more a decision from the Comp
troIler Of the Treasury hits the Dis
trict Government.
In the Interior Department a letter
from George w Evans, disbursing
clerk. explains that the collector of
taxes sent him a bill for 81 to pay for
q license for the office automobile, used
by Superintendent Of the Capitol Build
ings and Grounds Elliot Wood. and
also a bill for 81 for a license for a
motor cycle, used by the messengers
Of the Interior Department.
Mr. Evans wanted to know if he was
authorized to pay the money to the Col
lector Of Taxes. Acting Comptroller Of
the Treasury J.. Z. Mitchell holds that
the Government is not bound by any
municipal ordinance, and that the Com
missioners cannot impose a license tax
upon the Government.
The Acting Comptroller says: The
motor vehicle Is owned by the Govern
ment and is a means employed by it in
conducting its business, being used by
its officer in the performance OF his OF
dcial duties.
If the Commissioners can impose a
charge OF the character here presented.
IL follows that every state and city OF
the United States could impose d like
charge; SO that If Government troops
were passing through a State or city.
carrying their supplies IN motor We
hicles. such vehicles could be stopped
at the border Of the State or city until
SUI charges were paid.
Again. if the Commissioners can i'm
pose a charge of the kind here pre-
scented. it would follow that if an Off
Ger Of the army or navy should be or
dered TO make a sour Of inspection in
an automobile owned by the United
States, involving travel through diff
ferent States and cities, the Govern
ment could be made to pay similar
charges under similar regulations in
every State and city through which the
officer might travel"
Uncle Sam, therefore, will not pay
any s. TO the collector OF taxes for au-
tOmoblle or motor vehicle licenses.

CENTRAL ATHLETES

Seventy-hve Candidates Answer
First Call-Will Enter Teams

Seventy-five men answered the call
for track candidates at Central High
and have begun training on the track
in the basement Of the school in prep
aration for a strenuous indoor season.
The boys are again under the eye

as he can only depend on five expert

ing at the school are Captain CLANCY.
Mckeever, Spransy, Lancaster, Zeh, and
CuilOm. Among the most promising are
Kelley, Hunt, and Dewey, who proved
their worth in various indoor meets
last season. and Hamilton and Reuter-
new men who were prominent in ath-
letiCs last year at the Y NJ c A
Manager Kennedy has mapped out a
strenuous season for the team and in
tends 70 enter large squads in all meets
to be held in and around Washington.
The school will also follow the usual
custom of sending a squad TO the an
nual spring games Of the Tome Insti-
tute at Port Deposit and TO the schOl-
astic games Of the University at Char

the sweep to Taft upstate, however. 1t
is declared that there Is a phenomenal
uprising for Hughes, which the leaders
hope Will save him, despite a great de-
lection in the city.
Banquet to Hughes.
The cheerful story was told today that
at a banquet which will be given him
Friday in Brooklyn. by a big German
Republican club, Governor Hughes will
appear in the great and unparalleled
feat Of drinking one-count it-one glass
Of real beer in full view OF the audience
1t is not represented that the governor
needs or cares for the beer, but that he
viii drink it in order to show that there
Is no substantial reason why the Ger
man vote should be against him. Veri-
ncation could not be had.
This notion that Hughes is a narrow
and prejudiced man IS doing him more
harm than anything else said cam
paign leader
1t isn't true he is a liberal: hut he
cant 90 out and proclaim that fact
with self-respect, under the ciTcum-
stances; TO make proclamation Of spe-
cihcally liberal views might hurt him
on the other side, too. This IS the most
eNasperating thing in the campaign
Take the Germans. They assure us they
are glad the racing bills passed; believe
in the legislation. But neyert heIess the
TACT that the governor forced that leg
lslatlOn makes them afraid he Will
force something else calculated to in
terfere with personal liberty-liduor
legislation, that is-which they don't
want
you can't get votes for him be-
cause Of gratitude for passing tFa
racing measure; the trouble is that
fear Of what he will do in future IS
losing votes.
However, things are improving.
The governors great hit in the West
by his speaking tour has done Won

he is making a speaking campaign
