HOUSE MORTGAGE
EXEMPTION ASKED
BY BIG REALTORS
Tax Freedom Urged as
Only Relief From Pres
ent Realty Troubles.

Exemption Of real estate mort
cages bearing interest Of per cent
or under from all Federal taxation
was urged as the only solution for
acute housing conditions in practi-
cally all large cities by New York
and Philadelphia real estate men and
bankers before the House Ways and
Means Committee yesterday.
- Investors. .halding real ESTATE mort
cages all over the country are call

Hetty Green, who had $4,000, 900 in
evsted in real estate mortgages and
received a return of is per cent
after paying taxes, has withdrawn
these investments and placed the
money in more lucrative securities.
Mr.. Stabler testified.
L. p. Doyle, of the Mayors Com
mittee, of New York. and Birch
Helms, representative of the ad-
visory council of the New York
Real Estate Board, made similar
pleas.
So fast is capital being with
drawn from mortgages, all wit
nesses agreed, that owners of part

danger of losing all they have in
vested.
4 number of bills to afford relief
from the shortage. in. houses are
pending before tue committee. None
of them exempts income from mort
Cages in excess of $4,000. Real
estate men urged the committee
that no limit be placed on the eX-
emption and that the interest rate
to L. I"quired under the exemption
be fixed at g per cent. instead of
as proposed in one pending meas
ure. Under this plan. it was point
ed out, all money invested in mort
cages on homes would be exempt.

gregate $4,000, 100000. Represents

ST. JOHNS HAZERS
MAY FACE COURT

new MACHINE Gun
HASLONC RANGE
Fires Twice as Far as Ones
Used in Great War; Bullet
Five Times Heavier.

A new long range machine gun,
effective at q distance twice as
gfeat as that of the guns used dur
ing the world war and firing a bull
let more than five times as heavy
as that used in the Springfield rifle.
has been perfected by the Ordnance
branch of the War Department. ac-
cording to announcement made yes
terday.
The new weapon which has a
caliber of about half an inch COM
pared to the 30 caliber gun used
during the war. has just completed
a series OF severe tests. 1t was de-
veloped by the War Department
with the assistance of John NJ.
Browning. inventor of the Brown
ing gun. and embodies many ideas
suggested by him.
THE first gun developed and
manufactured in accordance with
the recent ideas of Mr.. Browning
and the Specification from the small
'ernss diyfsio4. ordnahse office. was
tested iou November 81. 1920. and
those witnessing the test were en-
thusiastic over the credible show
ing which was made" says the War
Department report -
The weight of the gun Is about
twice as great as that of the caliber
80 Browning machine gun. Its water
jacket has a capacity of two gall
Ions. and the water used for cooling
purposes reaches the boiling point
after 800 rounds of continuous firing.
The rate of firing of this weapon
can be regulated between 400 and
700 shots per minute by a very in
genious buffer mechanism. Prelim-
mary tests so far conducted indi-
cate that the gun Is extremely ac-
curate at long ranges and the group
ing of shots unusually good.
Several new and desirable fea-
lures kaTe been added to this un-
usual weapon which are not found in
the caliber 80 Browning machine
gun. and an attempt has been made
in the new weapon to overcome such
defects as have developed in that
type. The gun has a double griu.
The excessive racking effect that
would inevitably follow from the use
of so powerful a weapon as this, has
been minimized by the use Of an in
genious buffer mechanism which has
been added to absorb the recoil. This
feature has made possible a consid-
cradle reduction in the weight of the
weapon.

Committee Finishes Work
And Hearing Expected
During Week.
DISTRICT SCHOOLS
WELL CARED FOR
Three Measures Sched-
uled for Precedence in
Order of Business.

Tho District of Columbia appro-
priation bill probably will reach the
floor of the House On Wednesday or
Thursday Of this week. according to
the opinion of members of the House
Appropriations Committee. 1t will
be the first appropriation bill to be
considered.
The subcommittee which has been
working on the measure virtually
completed it after a short night ses-
sion last night and the committee
clerk will work today in an effort
to have 1t ready for reporting to the
full committee on Tuesday.
Some Items Cut.
A number of items were cut by the
subcommittee and others are expect
ed to come under the pruning knife
of the full committee. The schools.
however, were we'll taken care of.
While every request was not grant
ed. the number OF items that were
depleted are comparatively insignifi-
cant, it was intimated by members
Of the committee.
Under a special rule granted by
the Rules COMMITTEES, the volstead
resolution repeating wartime legis-
lstion will be taken up Monday i'm
mediately after a vote on the immi-
grafton bill.
Renvis Resolution.
The Reavis resolution. which also
was given a special rule. will be
the next order of business. This
resolution creates a joint Congress
sionsl committee composed OF three
members of the House and three of
the Senate to begin work on legis-
lation reorganizing the departments
of the government.
This measure Is expected to be
disposed OF speedily az astere =aps
pears to be little opposition. Tho

ihe best part of a year before 1t
will be able to report a bill bring
ing order out of the maze of ad-
ministrative departments and to
eliminate the overlapping aud du-
plication of work.
Patent once Bill.
Following action on the Reavis
resolution the House will take UT
the request of Representative John
]. Nolan. of California, for the ap-
pointment of conferees on his meas
ure increasing the force and SAL
n h. De-
Following the action of Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Bianton, of
Texas, in blocking a unanimous
consetn request for the appointment
OF the conferees, Nolan obtained a
rule from the Rules Committee
making the request in order.
The measure has been passed by
both the House and Senate and the
only remaining work to be done is
the ironing out of difference be-
tween the two bodies caused by a
number of Senate amendments re-
ducing the increases both in person.

House bill.
Farm Bills May Delay.
With these measures out of the
way. it is believed the District an
preparation bill will be the next q,
the program unless the agitation
for farmer relief legislation forces
ii aside.
Work on the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bin
which was interrupted by the death
of the mother of Representative
