INDIA SITUATION
REPORTED BETTER

LONDON. Dec. 29.-India office dis.
patches today describe the situation
as much improved and the officials
hope for gradual dying down of the
agitation. A high India office official
said today that the most gratifying
development was the refusal of the
all-India congress to adopt the revolu.
tiOnary policy of the violent party
and its decision to follow Mahatma
Ghandfs policy which is purely mega
tive and therefore ineffective.
One of the most hopeful features
from the British point Of view Is the
good effect of the PRINCE of Wales
visit. 1t has been noted that even in
places WINE the reception was bad
on his arrival conditions improved i'm
mediately after he had stayed a dav
or two. There is no doubt that the
example Of Ireland's success, reached
by means of violent agitation. has had
a grave effect on India, but It is now
being pointed out by the moderates
that Ireland is ABOUT to accept self
government in the empire.

many husky native. He was born
in Savannah. Ga. and the story goes
that. when a young man. he sailed
away to the Pacific and left a wife
and daughter, who never saw him
again.
Settles on Yap,
O'Keefe finally settled on Yap
Island and did a flourishing business
in copra and other products of the
South Seas. His trading schooner
piled between the Carolines and
Hong Kong. His cocoanut groves
dotted the Pacific islands. He for
got Savannah and married a native
girl Mrs. Scott is their daughter.
When O'Keefe's fortune was at its
height and his name was a terror to
every native in the Carolines, he EN-.
parked on what proved to be his last
voyage. Returning from Hong Kong
to zap his schooner with himself and
the native crew disappeared. Whether
the ship was lost in a storm or
whether the native sailors mutined
and killed him. is still one OF the I'M
solved riddles of the sea.
O'Keefe's wife and daughter, how
ever. continued the business Some
years ago the daughter married a
trader named Scott who died in 1918.
Since then she has managed her af-
fairs single-handed. Today Mrs. Scott
owns crack trading schooner, sew

the biggest house in zap. She is
most proud of her son. who will soon
be old enough to help her in bust

AUTO
TAX PLAN MEETS
DISFAVOR in D. c.
Commissioners Should
Not Be Lured by Reel
prOcity Lullaby-Jose.

Automobile reciprocity between
Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia must be based on a more
practical plan than that of a gaso-
line tax substitute for the present
automobile license tax before the
District can be expected to accept
It. This view is the concensus of
opinion both among District ON
eials and the city's automobile
vowners
The reciprocity idea. which orig
>tnated with Maryland State on
cials. is to be considered at a con-
ference of District and Maryland
representatives at IL o'clock today
at the District Building. Mary
lands plan is to be presented by
John NJ. MackalI. State highway
commissioner. Commissioner James
F. Oyster. District Corporation
Counsel Francis H stephens, Capt
Albert ]. Headley. of the trafno
bureau, and perhaps Commissioners
Rudolph and Keller. in case there
Is no hearing at the Capitol. will
represent the District
solution Is Expected.
The conference expects to find
some solution for the present I'M
satisfactory license system, wherein
Washington residents must have
Maryland tags to drive into that
State and vice versa From the
Districts point of view il Is con-
sidered unjust that. for example. an
owner of a small car in the Dis
trict must pay a SIS District license
fax and added to that, if he wishes
TO drive in Maryland. a 1914 tax.
ANY fair plan of reciprocity which
Twill make Maryland tags good In
the District and District tags good
in Maryland will be acceptable to
the District.
The gas tax plan, however, is
not expected to meet with ap-
proval. Maryland has a 1-cent gas
tax bill up before its legislature
and would undoubtedly desire the
District to adopt a similar tax so
that District gasoline merchants
would not have a market advan-
tage. Such a tax is in successful
operation in a number of States.
Gas Tax Called Lullaby.
Among those opposing the Easo-
line tax plan is Rudolph Jose,
former president Of the Automotive
Trade Association. who hopes the
Commissioners will not be lured
by such a reciprocity lullaby" He
thinks that Washington should not
be Disseminated against and that
the District tags should permit the
use Of Maryland roads without any
gas tax plan NJ. o. Eldridge, d.
