The grand jury, which has been in ses-
lion here, adjourned this morning
without indicting James W. Cum
minss, deputy sheriff. who shot Har-
rison Weaver. colored. a 'caddy at the
Chevy Chase Club. last week. Cum
mings is also superintendent of the
Chevy Chase Club grounds, and shot
Weaver who afterward died at

Weaver was trying to resist arrest.
Cummings was held for the grand
jury, and as the grand jury failed to
indct him it is thought probable that
he will be released later this after

Judge Peter. in dismissing the grand
Jury, spoke of the failure of that body
to "indict person held for a homi-

of the grand jury was to indict. and
that they should have done so and left

industrial situation it ever had to face.
as capital would be exhausted and Gus
toners crippled and their purchasing
power depressed.
As it would be easier to raise taxes
in the period of the war, Chancellor
Lloyd George said he intended to COM
mence Immediately. He then explain
ed the income tax and supertax pro-
posals. which he estimated would bring
in f12,5OO,0OO $62.50o.000) this year,
and f44.750,0o0 (s223,750.00O) next year.
The extra duty on beer had been SO
arranged that it would fall on the con-
sumers, as it had been found impossible
to obtain a small income tax from those
people whom 4 tax On beer would
reach. The consumer would. therefore,
be called upon to pay half penny
half pint more for his beer
AS teetotalers did not drink mineral
waters, and a tax on those drinks would
fall on the drinkers of spirits and on
children, he proposed to raise a tax on
tea. which total abstainers did drink.
to the amount of three pence a pound.
This would produce this year an extra
