COAL MEN FACE
NEW COURT
F|GH
Prosecutor VIII Ask Grand Jury
to Reindict Eleven Hoehling
Freed.

Re.indictment OF the eleven Wash
ington coal dealers freed by Justice
Hoehling of the District Supreme
Court yesterday when he quashed
an indictment for conspiracy to
boost prices here. will be asked by
District Attorney Peyton Gordon,
the prosecutor announced.
Gain Temporary Victory.
The coal dealers obtained a tenn
porary victory when Justice Hoeh-
ling Sordered the legal proceedings
against them abated, as one of the
grand jurors by whom they were
indicted was disqualified for such
service.
Major Gordon declared yesterday
that he would make an effort to
appeal the courts ruling. Should
this be Of no avail, he will reopen
the case before another grand jury
and will demand their re.indictment.
Combine Was Alleged.
It was alleged in the quashed in.
dictments that the coal dealers had
formed a combine to put the inde-
pendent dealers out of business,
consequently increasing the price
Of the commodity.

MD. AUTO TAGS
80 PER CENT
CHEAPER
Reduction Is Brought About
BY States Tax on
Gasoline.

District motorists will be able to
purchase Maryland automobile tags
for 1924 for one-half what they
cost this year, according to the
prevailing opinion at the District
Building today.
This good news comes on the
heels of Governor Ritchie's state
ment yesterday to the effect that
80 cents per horsepower will be
the charge for registering pneu-
matte tired automobiles in Maryland
in 1924 instead of GO cents per
horsepower, the rate now in effect.
Gas Tax Responsible.
Governor Richie announces he Is
able to make the reduction in &C.
cordance with the requirement Of
the gasoline tax law, which has so
increased the receipts as to war
rant the so per cent decrease.
According to a statement SUBJ
mitted to the governor by William
s. Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller,
the 1-cent gasoline tax produced a
revenue of 68O,479.27 for the fiscal
year ended September 30. On this
basis the 2-cent gasoline tax, effec-
tive January /. will produce $780,
1884, according to Gordy's state.
ment.
Bill to be introduced. 3
Word of the reduction of automo-
bile plates in Maryland called to
mind that bill will be introduced
in the Sixty.eighth Congress pro-
viding the District with a 2-cent
gasoline tax and designed to bring
about reciprocity with Maryland.
It is pointed out. however. that
there is practically no chance Of
the gasoline tax bill being enacted
in time to bring reciprocity about
I in 1924 and that the Maryland plate
reduction, If 1t is applicable to the
District, as 1t Is presumed to be,
will help soothe this city's righteous
wrath against a State which has
so consistently snubbed its motor
ing public.
When the gasoline tax is enacted
in the District, only nominal
charge of 81 will be asked for auto
mobile plates.

NATIONAL APPLE WEEK
Is INAUCURATED TO-DAY

Today is national apple day, the
first of national apple week, and
merchants of Washington are en-
deavoring to capture the trophy
offered for cities of from 800, 900 to
100000 population for the best dis.
play during that period.
Not only have many of the store
keepers arranged exhibits Of va
rious varieties Of apples, but post
ers, calling attention to the cele.
hration, have been put on display.
To James Handy, of Quincy, ILL.,.
belongs the credit for the found
ing of national apple day. His
appeal for the celebration of such
day was made to a number of
horticultural organizations in 1905.
The third Tuesday in October was
first agreed upon as a day Of cele-
bration, but this was later changed
to Halloween day, the last day of
October.

CASES
HURT BY
TRIAL
Police and Dry Agents Accused
Of Lying by Officials Big
Docket Affected.

The controversy between the
vice squad and the prohibition en-
forcement agents being aired be-
for the Police Trial Board may
have q far-reaching effect upon
the determination Of every liquor
case on the docket, according to
the opinion of officials in charge
of the prosecution.
False Testimony Given.
Whatever the outcome OF the
feud. the general belief exists that
the testimony would be almost
yalueless because Of alleged lies
by both sides:
Every liquor case filed N the
District Attorneys office involves
at least one OF the men tangled in
the hearing before the trial board,
it was stated. Since they are the
star witnesses in these cases. and
with their testimony practically OBJ
liberated. the chances for q convic-
ton are greatly lessened.
The financial loss to the Gov
eminent is at the present time I'M
estimated, but it is easily percepti-
bic that it will run into six figures.
Cases to Be Put Off.
It is doubtful whether the Dis
trict Attorneys office will bring
any of these liquor cases before the
court for trial until al; of the cur
rent rumors as to the veracity Of
the statements of the members Of
vice squad and the prohibition force
have been forgotten.
During the past two weeks not
one liquor case has been tried be.
fore a jury. Generally, three or
four such causes were brought into
court each week and quickly dis.
posed OF.
The fight between two of the
main factors in the enforcement OF
the prohibition law in Washington
is going to do the liquor cases no
good" declared one of the Dis
trict attorneys attached to the liquor
prosecution. 1T is inevitable, how
ever, that a large number Of those
we have will be lost because Of the
feud."
