Prince Georges Tax
Status Is Defined

UPPER MARLBORO, Jan. 13.-As
the resHlt of a conference held in
Baltimore between the State tax
commission and the commissioners
of Prince Georges County, the latter
were directed to place upon the as
sessment books of the county the
new assessment returned by the
commissions representatives.
1t is understood that but nine OF
the nineteen election districts in the
county have been reasse ssed, and
there is considerable complaint from
taxpayers in these nine districts
where the assessment has been in
creased considerably, that to tax
these districts under the new as
sessment and to allow the remain
ing districts to be taxed under the
old and lower assessment would be
unjust.
The county commissioners ordered
a reduction of Is per cent on all
land assessments in Hyattsville dis
trict after the new assessment had
been returned to them, and the tax
commission has now advised the
county commissioners to make the
reduction.

NORFOLK, Va. Jan. 13.-Due to

Two negroes entered about clos

his hands. The store proprietor
complied, talking loudly in Hebrew,
greatly to the amusement Of the

one of the thieves stood near

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan. ID
Although a large number of coal
mines of the Fairmont w. Va. dis
trict have been closed for several
weeks, practically all mines of the
Georges Creek and Upper Potomac,
comprising District 16, United Mine
Workers of America, have been
working either full or part time,
it was declared by an official of
the mine workers. and prospects,
it was emphasized, for a full produc-
ton in the near future are encour-
aging.
The official explained that the
great surplus of unsold fuel has
been finding a market, and that op-
ening OF many industries, which had
been closed for month or more
has also revived consumption.
Another Indication of the improve
ment in the coal market, it was
pointed out, is that thousands of
unloaded cars daily are travelling
back to the mines from the ports
and eastern markets, where they
had been held for weeks pending
disposition.
Evasion of contract by the
French government with large ship
pers in this country to furnish
France with 100000 tons of coal
each month at $2S per ton, had a
serious reactionary effect here,
chiefly causing the great amount to
accumulate here unsold. the official
said. It was explained that other
brokers in this country had shipped
100000 additional tons per month
to private French dealers at $l3 a

ment price caused it to stipulate in

ship, Is Belief. 6
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Prince of
Wales has been invited by a num-
Der of leading Americans to visit
the United States again this year.
The invitation was brought to Lon
don by a prominent American whose
name l have been given in conf
denCe. That man already has inter-
viewed several members of the
cabinet and the royal household
and explained that in view of the
great success which attended the
princes first visit, another sojourn
in the United States after the in
auguration of President elect Hard
ing would be invaluable as a means
of bringing about a further under
standing between the American and
English people.
1t is pointed out semi officially
however, that there are great OBJ
stacles to another visit by the
prince to the United States and the
Americans have not been encouraged
in their mission, but the question is
under consideration by the govern
ment.
The thought which animated the
Americans who extended the in
vitation, was that agitation both in
this country and America which
was disturbing friendly relations
between the two countries, and
which was laying a foundation for
further Observation-Disclosures, had
reached such a critical stage that
efforts should be made by both
countries to counteract the in
fiuence which produced disagree
ments.
