WANT PROPERTIES
ASSESSED FAIRLY

A special committee of the Board
of Trade is considering a bill 10 be
offered TO the next Legislature provid-
ing a change i'm the manner of MAX
ing the property assessment in VIII
mington. Ii is the intention of the
committee to draft bill that will re-
uuire "a more equitable assessment by
a board Of assessment which shall be
non-partlsan. Members Of the COM
mittee are of the opinion that the pres
ent city assessment is too high on some
properties and too low on others, and
it is 10 correct these mistakes that
the proposed bill is sought.
The Levy Court at its meeting on
Wednesday directed its attorney. VIII
liam @. Jones. Jr.. to draft a bill pro
viding for a longer session of the mem
bers OF the County Board OF Assess
ment Revision that the assessment
errors. which the Board of Trade Com .
mittee also sees. may be corrected.
Under the present act county revision
lists may sit only three days, but under
a bill Just prepared by Mr. Jones. the
county revisionists may sit for fifteen
davs between the last Tuesday in jan
uary and March 1. Should the bill be-
come a law the Wilmington members
of the New Castle County Board OF
Assessment Revision say they will be
able TO adjust the assessments on a
much large number Of properties than
heretofore and hope TO correct all the
errors within a few years.

HITCHCOCK CASE
ATTRACTS CROWD
TO COURT ROOMS

New York, March l3.--Helen Won
Hagen was cross-eXamined in the
Hitchcock trial today. She admitted
having heard that two of her com
panions were bad girls. She said she
never told the Gerry society that
Hitchcock wronged her.
Helen Won Hagen. one of the three
young girl accusers of Raymond
Hitchcock the comedian. told the story
of her alleged wrongs at his hands
before as big a crowd as ever filed
the supreme court room during the
Thaw trial.
Helen Won Hagen said that she will
ingly accompanied Hitchcock on auto
mobile rides to his home at Great
Neck and on visits TO his room, rent
ed on Forty-frst street. And she
voluntarily brought the other two to
meet him, she admitted.
At the time of the alleged wrong
doing neither she nor Flora Whitzon
made any complaint. Only her youth
apparently, was being offered by the
prosecution as the basis for the OF.
Tense.

DIR. Harry Williamson Has
Good Reason For Desiring
Police Powers.

CITY Physician williamson has
asked for police powers, and back of
his request is an experience that, per-
haps, few physicians could duplicate.
DR.. Williamson was called to the
telephone and asked to go to Farleys
store in Mechanlcsburg and give med
ical attention to sick person when
DR. Williamson arrived at the store
he found It dark, but two men were
asleep on the steps. Or. Williamson
ratified the door and the men awoke,
and when they had ascertained that
he was the physician they said they
wanted him.
Pointing TO a small shanty on the
river bank one led the way while the
other man followed in the Doctors
tracks. The shanty was passed and
when the brink of the river was
reached back of the Paducah Cooper
age company, DR.. Williamson was
told TO step into skiff. The doctor
looked up in surprise, and said he did
not wish to cross the river to prac-
tice medicine, so he started to return
up the river bank. Both men pointed
big pistols at his head and one grim
ly remarked Guess you better
had"
II was 10 o'clock with no one else
in sight. so the doctor faced the In
evitable and stepped into the boat. He
was rowed across the river to a
lshantyboat, where woman was ILL.,
and compelled to remain all night.
Il is said that one other Paducah
physician was taken in the same way
| the next night II seems the shanty-
boatmen being poor pay were anab's
to interest a physician in the case and
adopted this method.
