PROFESSIONALLY
SHOWN BY KALBFUS
Assistant Assessor Gives De-
tails of His Business
Deals in District.
UNDER SEARCHING PROBE
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE
Says He Knows of No Law Nor
Regulation Preventing Invest
ments by Officials.

Samuel T. kalbfus. member Of the
board of assistant assessors of the Dis
trict of Columbia made the frank state
ment before the District committee of the
House of Representatives today that he
had never seen any improperly in an
assessor or assistant assessor dealing j..
real estate.
This reply was made after Mr. kalbfus
had been put through a severe examina-
ton in which the details of his realty
transactions were turned inside out. ex-
posed to view on all sides, and after
every ingenuity of the committee had
been used in gaining the reasons leading
UP to the purchases, sales, loans a. &
every other step in the transaction.
It developed that Mr.. Kalbfus had hor-
rowed $1,000 on lot for which he paid
Sl.9lo, and that the money had been
loaned by the Louise Home, that loan
and the purchase of the lot being stimuli
taneous. TIE lot was sold by the Cor
coran estate. Representative Johnson
made the point that there was a net
work extending from the Corcoran estate
through tie Louise Home to the asses

WILL FILE PROTEST TODAY.
Washington Merchants to Take
Formal Action in Freight Delivery.

Washington merchants will file with the
interstate commerce commission this aft
ernoon a formal protest against the dis
continuance by the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroads Of free
store-door delivery of freight in this city.
The protest will be filed in the name of
the Chamber of Commerce and the Retail
Merchants Association. At 2 o'clock this
afternoon the counsel Of the two organ
izations had not decided whether joint
protest should be filed or whether each
organization should file protest in its
own behalf.
Chaplin Brown, general counsel for the
Chamber Of Commerce, said at noon to-
day that both joint and separate pro-
test had already been prepared. He said
that later in the day he would have an
other conference with NJ D. Rosenberg
counsel for the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation. and that the form in which the
protest should be made would be decided
upon at that time.

from Strasburg, twelve miles

from Strasburg, twelve miles from
Woodstock, learn there is not a case in
the town. In Woodstock there is not
one case. I consulted two Of the most
prominent physicians of the town and
they informed me that in the past twelve
years there have not been over five cases
of typhoid fever in the town, and some
of them originated elsewhere. Since 1901.
when Woodstock inaugurated a water
system providing pure mountain water.
it has been one of the healthiest towns
in the state. In the last twelve months.
among the whites, there have been but
five deaths. and two Of these were OF In
fants and the others of old persons over
seventy years of age.

Matter Closely Scrutinized.

More than half the morning was given
up to severe searching of Mr. kalbfus'
memory concerning lot which he bought
some years ago, assessed later at 40 cents
a square foot. and sold very soon after
ward to Peter A. Drury for $50 a foot.
This land was near the south end of
Connecticut avenue bridge.
Representative George and Representa-
tive Johnson both inquired diligently to
ascertain. if possible, why an assistant
assessor should hold land at the accent
figure and sell 1T at S1.50.
Mr.. kalbfus characterized his purchase
of lots near Goth street and Belmont road
as buying a lemon He said he had
sold 1.-The lemon to his associate, Mr..
Mckenzie, at loss of about 500, and
that Mr.. Mckenzie had his eyes open
when he bought 1t. At the close of the
hearing, Representative Johnson init
mated that tax sales would be invest-
gated.
