POLICE WEARY
OF ACQUITTALS
Cannot Stop Lawlessness
Without Convictions
and Sentences.

With the Saturday night raids
against "bootleggers" and gun tot
ters" still fresh in mind Mai. Raw
mond w Pullman. superintendent
OF police. remarked last night that
the problem of rounding up and
securing Jail sentences for these in
dividuals was still a perpIexing
problem for his department.
During the raids Saturday night
several shots were fired at detec-
tives and policemen in the south
west section OF the city, even
though quite a number of police
men went about armed with loaded
rifles.
Judging from the activity of the
police, "gun-toting" is on the in
crease. The police are making
plenty Of arrests. but il is dsfi-
cult 1t seems to secure Jail sentences
long enough to deter other offend
ers. 1t is seldom these days that
an unruly character can be arrest
ed in southwest Washington, the
police say. without crowd Of sym
pathizers collecting and making
trouble for the police.
I'm most cases where a crowd
collects for the purpose OF annoy
ing a policeman who is making ar
rests, said headquarters man
last night, "a search Of bvstanders
would reveal the fact that a large
percentage OF them carried weapons
and would use them readily II they
thought they could escape arrest
thereby.
We need more convictions" Mai
Pullman stated again. We can
easily round up these men who
carry pistols. but what good does
it do IL we cannot be the means Of
their going to jail for their Of
fenses?"

GIVES MARINES
RELEASE RULE
Daniels Says Men with De-
pendents May Apply for
Discharge.

Announcement by Marine Corps
headquarters is made to assist those
who wish to leave that service. The
announcement affects these three
classes:
% Those who enlisted for the dura-
ton of the war, 90 those who joined
the corps through the draft; 80 those
who voluntarily enlisted for four
years. but with the stipulation that
it be only for the national emergency
or during the war.
Secretary Daniels stated in the cir
cular OF instructions that the war
will not be Officially ended until a
peace treaty has been signed and
ratified and that the emergency will
not cease until SO declared by proc
lanai tion of the President. There will
therefore be no general demobiliza-
tion of the Marine Corps.
Requests for separation. however,
will be received from such men as
those who desire to complete their
education. married men with depend
ent families where it is shown that
their financial condition will be ma
terialy bettered by their discharge,
and men who wish to return to busi-
ness which they gave up to enter
the service.
Marines who wish to avail them
selves of these exceptions must sign
their applications personally, giving
reasons for wishing DISCHARGE and
wherever practicable with the evil
dence as to the validity of the reasons
for the application. The commanding
officer will forward these applications
without delay to the major general
commandant of the Marine Corps at
Washington.

ROPER INDICTS
new TAX LAW
Internal Revenue Bureau
In Dilemma, He Writes
McAdoo.

The existing Federal tax law will
be put into effect unless Congress
passes the pending revenue bill be-
fore January l.
This decision is announced in a
letter from Daniel G. Roper. Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue. to
Secretary McAdoo. made public yes
terday by the latter.
The letter contains one Of the Sc
verest indictments OF the present
law that has been made and explains
the dilemma the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue has been placed in by the
delay OF the pending bill.
Mr.. Roper declares that il has been
possible to administer the present
law only with the greatest difficulty
and that it was possible to do so at
all because Of the patriotic spirit
Of accOmmoda tion Of the people"
This attitude was induced by war
emergencies" says Mr.. Roper. and
by the same feeling OF assurance I
have possessed that the act Of Octo-
Der 3, 1917, would not remain in
force another year but would be
superseded by a new law embodying
adequate and Ineligible taxing pro-
visions and authority for reasonably
flexible administration"
Il am appalled, by the necessity OF
proceeding in accordance with the
existing revenue law" he says.
Mr.. Roper pointed out to the Sec
Tetary that he is faced with the ne
cessity Of Immediately going ahead
with plans for the administration Of
the present law for the coming year.
although he knows those plans may
be completely upset by the enact
ment Of the present bill or OF ignor-
ing that law and awaiting the new
one.
He concludes that he will choose
. the first horn Of the dilemma II the
new law is not enacted by the first
OF the year How this can be done
with the President away and the
bill practically impossible Of passage
before he leaves is not mentioned in
the letter.
Mr. Roper points out that Only one
month rema ms before the time be-
gins for filing OF income and excess
profits returns: that millions or these
must he printed and distributed. and
that thousands Of revenue. agents
must be trained and mohilIzcd 10 give
