THEATER CASE UP
TO APPEALS COURT
Action of This Tribunal Will
Decide Future Course of
Mai. Gordon.

Whether or not another grand jury
will be called on to investigate the
cause of the collapse of the roof of
the Knickerbocker Theater will de-
pend on the decision of the District
Court of Appeals. to which United
States Attorney Gordon will have re-
course to have the decision Of JUS
tice Siddons reversed.
Mai. Gordon drew the indictment
which Justice Siddons today declared
defective, to offset the effect Of the
decision of the appellate tribunal in
the Ainsworth case. Should the
Court of Appeals affirm Justice Sid
dons, then Mai Gordon would have
to decide between dropping the prose-
cution against those connected with
the building of the theater or sub
mitting the matter for consideration
by another grand Jury, and. In the
event of a presentment by that body
putting into the new indictment spe-
cific facts tending to show negligence
on the part of those accused.
In the Ainsworth case. which grew
out of the Ford Theater disaster. the
Court Of Appeals quashed the Indictment
because it failed to show any RESPONSE
biiity Of the persons accused. The Knfck-
erbockar Theater indictment charges
this Joint responsibility. but. according
TO Justice Siddons, does not show what
act of negligence was committed or by
whom It was committed.
The case - not likely to be reached
on the docket Of the Court of Appeals

D. c. ASSESSMENTS
Jump % PER CENT
Realty Total to Approximate
SIPS, 900, ,0O0-Two
Causes Given.
TAXES TO VARY LITTLE
Full Valuation Plan and New Con.
struction Involving $751;
100000 Offset Low Rate.

The total assessment of real estate
this year for taxation purposes will
go up to approximately s725. 900. 1t
was unofficially estimated at the Dis
trict building today. The total as
sessment Of real estate last year was
only S473. .S1l, ,0ue. fIs. -ss,er sss@t-s-.ss
There are two factors entering into
this sudden jump in the figures:
First. the direction of Congress that
property be assessed at full value for
taxation; second, the additions made
to the assessment books to cover new
buildings and repairs to existing
structures during the last year.
Last years assessment of $472,-
$4,000 represented two-thirds of full
value of the real estate of Washing
ton. To arrive at the full value as
ordered by Congress. the assessors
office will add so per cent to last
years two-thirds assessment. which
will make this years assessment ap-
proximately $7os.ooo,ooo.
New Building Total Big.
1t is understood that new buildings
and repairs completed during the
year will total between $l5.oo0.0 900
and $1s.0o0,000. This added to the
full value of existing property will
give a total assessment well over
s725, 900, 900
But adding so per cent to last years
assessment will not mean increasing
the taxes that much, for the reason
that the Commissioners have reduced
the tax rate from $1.s2 to $3.50 per
500 of assessment.
Speaking Of assessments, there still
are thousands of Washingtonians
possessing automobiles. jewelry. bank
accounts and other personal effects
who have not yet filed this years
personal tax return.
Personal Tax Returns Due.
Assessor Richards reminds these
bashful ones that they have only one
week left In which to step forward
and file a return. giving the figures
at which they value their gasoline
buggies. their sparkling diamonds
and also what their bank balances
were on July 1.
All such returns not filed before
August l will have a penalty of 20
per cent added to the assessments
when they are filed. The first half
of this personal tax will be due the
same as real estate In November. and
the other half next May.
Returns must be made at the as

WARSAW MUCH EXCITED
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
WARSAW. July 90 Delayed). 1.-The
lack of unity and understanding be-
tween President Pilsudski and the diet
since the beginning of the present cabi-
net crisis seemed today In the view OF
some close observers Of the situation
to be threatening to resolve itself into
something Hike civil war.
From the moment when on June 2
President Pilsudski caused the resig-
nation of the Ponikowski cabinet. the
question as to with whom lay the su-
preme authority, the president or the
parliament. has been to the fore. Presi-
dent Pilsudski and the radicals and the
party supporting him have. appeared to
take the position that the president
should be the chief authority in Poland.
while the nationalists in the diet were
committed to upholding the supremacy
Of the parliament. This contest found
two cabinets to function. The first.
headed by NJ. Slivinski, appointed by
the president, was refused the support
Of the diet and Immediately afterward
President Pilsudski refused to approve
a cabinet headed by Adelbert Korfanty,
ity party.
These two developments raised such
strong feeling between the lief of
state and the diet that bitter con-
tests are forecast 1t was rumored
today that the president would en-
deavor to dissolve the present diet.
while other reports were that the diet,
holding itself to be the representa- tive
Of the nation, would force the presi-
dent either to yield or resign.
The national contingent last night
organized twenty-seven anti-Pilsud-
ski public meetings in various halls
in Warsaw.
Since the foregoing dispatch was
filed a Warsaw dispatch received Sun
day, bringing the situation up to that
day, said the political crisis was far
from settlement with a tense atmos-
phere prevailing. and both camps dis
tributing pamphlets and conducting
street demonstrations. The message
said repeated attacks made by social
lists against a big demonstration or
ganized by the nationalists resulted
in the injury of number of persons.

Indictment Held Defective.
The court held the indictment de-
fective and insufficient in that the
material and essential facts forming
the basis OF the alleged offense are
not set out with reasonable certainty
and the indictment is therefore too
vague, indefinite and uncertain. The
indictment fails to show what act or

quired to know and to see that the
of the task. The general charge of
failure and neglect set out in the
indictment is not sufficient, the court
finds.
Duty Must BE Defined.
Whether a person is negligent or

upon whether he has either wholly
omitted doing something that he is
required to do. or in undertaking to
do something he has failed to do it In
a proper manner. Therefore, in or
der to determine whether one has
been negligent or not we must know
what he ought to have done, which
he has wholly omitted to do, or what
he has failed to do in a proper man
ner after undertaking. and not until
then can it be perceived whether he
has been negligent or not"
United States Attorney Gordon not

Justice Siddons.
In the course of his opinion Justice
Siddons says:

MINES KEY TO SITUATION

The administration. II all other
means fail, will be advised to take
over and operate those mines and
those roads that may be necessary to
give the public relief. it Is believed
in some quarters at the Capitol.
Furthermore, it is believed that
the Attorney General has prepared an
opinion holding the President has
authority, under the powers granted
to keep the mails and interstate
commerce in operation, to take over
such roads and such coal mines as
are necessary The theory being
that the coal is necessary to keep
interstate commerce and the mails
in operation. Obviously, the trains
cannot run without coal.
The legality of such action on the
part of the administration, II it should
be undertaken. is questioned by some
of the senators. 1t Is admitted, how
ever, that the question has nice
points of law on both sides. Those
who question this power on the part
of the President believe that further
legislation by Congress will be re-
quired.
whether the President will accept
the advice that he has power to seize
mines and roads is question. 1t was
pointed out today that il the emer-
gency, becomes so grave as to bring
about the taking over Of the roads
and mines, the country probably
would Overwhelmingly uphold the
President.
The powers granted the Interstate
Commerce Commission under the
transportation act to declare an emer-
gency and bring about the allocation
Of cars and coal was declared at the
Capitol today to have little effect on
the strike. 1t was pointed out that
while the commission could order cars
here and there, unless the coal mas
been mined, 1t would make little dif-
ference. Nor would the Interstate
Commerce Commission be able to or
der the striking shopmen back to
work.
Two Questions Watched.
However. the opinion was ex-
pressed that after the strike has been
settled and coal is being produced in
quantity, the authority given to
allocate cars and coal would prove
very valuable.
The two points in the strike stu
alton which are being watched with
the great interest at the Capitol to-
day have to do with the willingness
or unwillingness of the railroads to
take the strikers back and allow
them their old seniority, and the
Willingness or unwillingness of the
railroads shopmen's unions to permit

WILL WORK 150 MEN SOON
Plan To Operate Idaho Continental
Mine on a Larger Scale.

A. Klockmann, president and gen
eral manager of the Continental
Mining Co., announced Monday, on
his way through Bonners Ferry to
Spokane after a several day visit at
the mines at Klockmann, Idaho, that
three shifts would be worked in the
near future both in the concentrator
and in the mine. Eighty men are now
employed at the mine on two shifts
and this number will be increased to
$50.
Ore hauling from the mine to the
Great Northern railway at POrthill
will begin about the end of this month.
A new ten ton Holt caterpillar has
been added to the ore hauling equip
ment.
The driving of the new No. tunnel
is nearly completed under the direct
ion of Superintendent Lancaster and
diamond drill has been installed for
the purpose of prospecting for new ore
bodies. Enough ore has been blocked
out in the mine to insure operations
for several years even if no new bodies
are discovered. Miners of this dis
trict are confident that new and richer
ledges will be discovered from the
newly driven tunnel
