IN SANTA CLAUS. ROLE
Members and Others Given Fine
Christmas Gifts Before Holi-

Laying aside It's daily grind of
listening to the gruesome details of
crime and nominating candidates for

Christmas recess the grand jurors
held Yuletide session and exchanged

membered Assistant United States At

URGE maintaining
!. OF TEACHERS PAY
KaIorama Citizens Would
Guard Against Withdrawal
of Bonus.

Legislation which would insure no
elimination Of compensation Of local
school teachers in the event the bonus
is revoked was asked in resolutiea
adopted by the Kalorama Citizens
Association at a meeting held at the
Highlands last night. The resolution
was introduced by Edwin S. Hege.
President A.. Coulter Wells was
authorized to select a committee OF
five to report on the Jones bill re-
arranging the fiscal relations of the
District of Columbia and the federal
mittee will be received at the jan
uary meeting Of the association.
A resolution was adopted asking
that the Commissioners take into con-
sideration the fact that women are
particularly fitted for the positions OF
food inspectors in the local health de-
partment. Mrs. Adele Guthridge, who
put the motion, said that cooked
hominey and other food stuffs are dis
PLAYED uncovered in many stores, and
that she thought disease, in many
cases, might be traced to such nan
ding of foods.
The association adopted resolutions
scoring the street lighting of the
District, 1t being declared that the
lighting in the main is very made
auate and dangerous" 1t was de-
cIared that the lights perhaps are
placed too low, blinding automobillsts.
1t was pointed out, on the other hand,
that if. placed too high the streets
would not be lit on account OF the
trees.

tee.
Text Of the Appeal.
"At this season OF the year the
thoughts of men and women everys
where in this wonderful country Of
ours turn to our little children. We
are planning how we can surprise
them on Christmas morning and bring
joy to their little hearts.
In sharp contrast there are today
over 100000 little children in tho
Near East Relief orphanages who
cry not for toys, but for bread. They
want just enough to take away the
singing pangs of cold and hunger.
They are the orphan children of the
oldest Christian nation in the world
hungry and cold through no fault
of their own. We face the solemn
fact that they will die by the thou-
sands this winter if American reliel
is withdrawn. There are many huns
dreds of thousands of children outs
side the gates waiting to be taken
in the American hostelries.
Calls for Real Sacrifice.
You do no. wish to quit when what
remains to be done in relief is small
compared with what has been done.
Neither do you want to lose the spir-
itual satisfaction that will come from
seeing the thing through" in char
acteristically thorough American
fashion. The glamor of the war has
pnne Real Awe real vision and real
sacrifice are called for now as never
before in the near east.
You can feed one of these children
for only $500 a month. May I sug-
gest that in SO far as you are able
you join with us in the completion OF
this task, which blesses every giver?
May l urge further that you respond
as you would like to have others re-
spond if your children were similarly
situated?"

SENATE CORRECTS
D. C. FISCAL BILL
intangible Property ExcIud-
ed From Scope of $1.75
Tax Rate. ~
EFFORT TO INCLUDE FAILS
Senator Fletcher Declares That the
Measure Is a Mistake and
Makeshift.

The Jones bill. wiping out the ratio
system of dividing the Districts ex-
penses between the District and fed
erai governments and providing TOT
depositing all local revenues in the
United States Treasury, from which
appropriations are then to be made,
was yesterday returned from the
House to the Senate, which passed II
last week. The purpose of this re-
turn was to correct an error In the
text relating to the tax rate. When
the bill reached the Senate yesterday,
Senator Jones of Washington asked
unanimous consent for a reconsidera-
ton. which was granted. and moved
to amend by inserting the word tan
gible" before and the word property
after the word personal" so as to
make the provisiin read:
Until otherwise provided by law.
the rate of taxation in the DiStr1ct OF
Columbia on tangible personal prop
erty and real estate shall be $1.7o per
hundred"
Senator Jones explained that this
change was necessary to avoid the
construction that the S1.75 rate
should apply to intangible as well
as tangible personality.
Before the question was submitted
to vote Senator Nelson moved to
amend by inserting the words and
Intangible" thus seeking to erect the
taxation of intangibles at the same
rate as other forms of property, to
avoid which the bill had been re-
called from the House and the amend
ment of Senator Jones had been
offered.
Senator Jones made a point OF or.
der against the Nelson motion and
was sustained. His own amendment
was then adopted.
Senator Fletcher declared that he
regarded the bill as mistake. add
ing: Il think it will be found that
it is merely temporary. makeshlft
arrangement. which will not be sat
isfactory. but j am not disposed to
raise any serious objection to it since
the friends of the measure and the
committee believe it should be adopt
ed. However, think it is mistake"
The bill as amended was then
passed without division.

SAW SOLDIER SHOT,
WITNESS TEST|F|ES
Georgia Man Charges Killing
by Corporal Occurred at
Camp Wheeler.

Called today as the first in second
list of witnesses in Senate committee
investigation Of charges by Senator
Watson, democrat, Georgia, that Ameri-
can soldiers had been hanged without
trial in France. Marion ]. Wallis Of
Athens, Ga, declared he saw corporal
shoot and kill a private soldier at Camp
Wheeler. Ga.
Did Not Serve Overseas.
Tho wiz 6pess said he did not serve
overseas and had no evidence bearing
on executions on foreign soil. The cor
poral, he said, was named Crawford and
the man shot, he thought, Private Hal
ley of Tampa, Fla.
Wallis read letter from one Of his
''buddies" at Sandusky, Ohio, attacking
eating he would get even some day.
Some of those Georgia officers were
pretty bad from that?" Wallis was
asked.
"Yes indeed" he replied.
"This seems to be Georgia family
row." said Senator Ernst. republican,
Kentucky, and Senator Watson Joined
in the laughter.
At this point Senator Watson offer-
ed a telegram received today from
James r. Milton of Chattanooga
Tenn, saying he also had witnessed
the killing of Haley by Crawford. and
would come to Washington to testify
to that effect.
Says Soldier Was Ill
Another telegram, from w. F. Brock
Of Lindale, Ca, said the soldier was
killed because he was i'll and unable
to work and that Crawford was not
tried by court martial. Wallis. how
ever, had another version, saying that
Crawford was tried by court-martlal,
given a thirty-day furlough and then
recollection, the killing was in May or
June. 1913.
Some of the kilograms referred to
Crawford as a captain, but wallis
stuck to his story that he was a cor
poral at the time of the shooting.
VIII Examine Records.
Officers of the War Department said
they would examine the records to
determine If such a case as that de-
scribed by Wallis was listed.
After Wallis had concluded his
testimony the names of the fVe other
witnesses summoned to appear To-Day
were called, but none OF the hVe re-
sponded to his name. The hearing
then went over until afternoon. with
the expectation that the absent wit
nesses might arrive by that time.
The name of Maj. Heroine L. Opie
of Staunton, Va, who commanded the
3rd battalion, 10th Infantry, was
placed formally before the committee
today. Testifying yesterday. Henry
l. Scott of Kenmore. Ohio. declared
he saw a Maj Opley of the 3rd bat
TALON, 10th Infantry kill two SOL
diers at different times without
provocation."
Maj. Opie from his home issued a
denial. characterizing Scott as a
skulker. In letter to Chairman
Brandegee today Col. Walter A.
Bethel, assistant judge advocate gem
eral. stated that Col. Opie was in
command Of the outfit mentioned by
Scott, that he had fine record and
since the war had been appointed
Evening star., 1921-12-21


Should the committee decide to
call Opie as witness, Col. Bethel
wrote, Il do not see how he could
raise the question of self-incrimina-
| tion. His discharge from the Army
of the United tSates terminated his
| amenability to trial by court-martial.
of France, for if such court ever did
! have jurisdiction of the offenses, it
| was divested of the same, as l indi-
Gated in my testimony. He could
not be tried by civil court of the
United States, since the acts were
committed in France. Since the wit
J ness Scott gave the name of no other
person who might be called to tes-
tify in the case, Opie seems to be the
only available witness, if it is de-
sired to pursue the matter further"
There was no explanation as to the
absence of the witnesses whose names
| were called and who had been duly
summoned to appear.
Pope Golden of Georgia, one of
Them had telegraphed that he would
be here providence permitting"
providence seems to have been
against him." remarked Chairman
Brandegee.
VIII Investigate Charge.
Chairman Brandegee directed Col.
Bethel to find out whether it were
| true, as charged by Wallis, that GER
| tain witnesses who were prepared to
, testify at the court-martial against
Corp. Crawford had not been permit
! ted to go before the court.
IF that is true" said the chairman
this committee wants to know it"
Wallis on cross-eXamination eS
planned that he had been court-mar-
tailed twice for being absent without
| leave, losing his pay for ten days fol
| the first offense, and being locked ur
| forty days for the second. He said he
voluntarily returned in each case.
There are three A. w. o. L. charges
on my discharge papers," he said. Re
ports published at the time. he said
showed that HALEY was shot while
! resisting arrest. The witness said il
was not true.
Did he give the corporal provoca-
| ton for shooting him." Senator Wat
! son asked.
None whatever. At the time he was
shot Halley's arm had been broken
by clubbing. HALEY was struck down
with a club for refusing to work and
then shot in the back, dying the next
day"
