Assessor Richards has determined
to answer in full the criticisms con-
tanned in the George report. He stated
today that the work probably will re-
quire three or four months. as 1T is his
intention to go exhaustively into every

Question Puzzling omcials.

The question that now presents itself
TO the heads of the District govern
ment is: will the committee report
out the original George bill, or will
substitute measure. based on the re-
suit of the recent investigation, be pre-
paTed?'
The report of the subcommittee does
not refer expressly to the desirability
Of a single tax in the District, but its
recommendations are believed to be
that the present taxation rate of IL
per centum be abolished and a rate to
be determined each year by the needs
Of the budget be adopted instead has
still further convinced District officials
that organized effort will be made
to bring about the overthrow OF the
half-and-h half principle
1t is considered likely that If bill is
drawn substitute for the measure in
troduced by Mr.. George last January it
will be more drastic in many Of its pro-
visions.
Many local officials look with suspicion
on the recommendation contained in the
report that the power OF removal from
office of the assessor or any of his assist
ants be restored to the Commissioners
In some quarters the fear is expressed
that this may be the beginning OF al
adroit attemp. 10 have the present Com
missioners succeeded by officials who are

placement of the assessors office force

When Mrs. Ainsworth and her
two daughters concluded to
spend year in Europe, it was de-
cided that the handsome Aims
worth home, in E. Oath street,
should be closed during their alb
sence. The decision was Jacks
own. He wanted to economic,
he said.
Economy had never been Jack
Ainsworth's strongest character

he was a lad at preparatory
school, bequeathing him COM
Portable income, but it was not
of such a size that Jack did not in
tend to increase it by entering
business as soon as his college
days were over.
While at Yale he had been a
bit extravagant. He entered a
Wall street brokerage office after
his graduation and he secured a
partnership in the firm a few
months before his mother deter
mined upon a long stay abroad.

What girls are you going to

"None. No girls for mine until

stoutly replied.

rare courage" Mrs. Ainsworth
said. "For life will be awful in

Jack had not found it so. He
went early and came late, and did
not notice the fellow boarders.
He worked so arduously that the

hot one, and by the middle of Au-

DRANK MEDICINE
AND SUFFERED

Charles Williams. and wife, of Thor
oughfare, N. j., are visiting in this
city, and last evening, together with
another sister, they were spending the
evening with their sister, Mrs. Lewis
H. Pierce
During the evening Mr. Williams,
being little thirsty, he went for a
drink of water and he was told he
would find a glass standing upon the
refrigerator. He understood them to
say on the table, so he picked up a
glass from the table and ran some
water in it and drank it down. In a
moment he was seized with a suffo-
eating and choking and he thought
he would die right off.
What he had drunk was his sisters
medicine which she was taking for
heart trouble, teaspoonful at dose.
He was in great trouble for time,
a physician was telephoned to and
he was given doses of mustard, and
finally relief came. He spent a
wretched night, but was about all
right this morning.

The contest began promptly at 230
