DISCOUNT BLOOD TESTS
TO PROVE PARENTAGE
Scientist Willing to Help in Miller
Suit Proprosal, But Will
Give No Opinion.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated HFesS.
BALTIMORE. March 17.-Hopkins
scientists put little faith in the theory
that the parentage of a child can be
proved or disproved by comparing
the blood of the father and mother
with that of the child.
John A. Garrett of Rockville, Md
attorney for Miss Jeanette Francis
Decker. who is suing Charles F. Mil
Ter of Bethesda, Md, alleged father
of her child, for $4,000. proposed
that the three principals in the case
go to Johns Hopkins Hospital and
have tests made of their blood
Mr.. Garrett's plan was to have the
to have three scientists, one to be Sc
lected by Miller, one by Miss Decker
and the third to be selected by some
disinterested party, determine the
child's parentage by a study of these
tests. The plan of having scientists
other than those at Hopkins do the
determining of the parentage is per-
fectly agreeable to the local blood
scientists.
DIR. John G.. Huck. one of the
scientists at Hopkins. who recently
discovered the existence Of more thar
four blood groups. said today that he
did not believe parentage could be
determined by blood tests. He ex.
planned he was willing to make the
test Of the blood of the three persons
but that he would not give any opin.
ion on the similarity of the blood

DROP OF 100000
IN INCOME TAXES
Returns for Maryland Dis
trict, Including Washington,
Show Sharp Decrease.
INCREASE IN TAXPAYERS
Officials Hope Complete List Will
Reach Mark of
$400,OO0,O 900.

Although an increase Of S40,000.000
or s5o,000,00o is expected from coun-
try-wide income and excess profits
tax returns paid on March 10. as
compared with a year ago, the Mary
land district. Of which Washington is
part, will be 100000 under last
years figures, according to prelim-
mary figures made public yesterday by
Galen L. TAFT, collector of internal
revenue.
The District of Maryland showed re-
ceipts at the close of business. March

amount collected the year previous
Of SS.7S6.176.S9. Whether this DIFF
ference wouiu be made Up later by
returns in the mail, but not received,
or by other factors. was not explai n
ed However the figures are tenta-
tive, and not final.
More Returns in District.
There was an increase in the Mary
land district, however. in the number
of returns, total of 203,700 being re-
ceived this year as compared with
1874, 100 last.
The city of Washington, according to
special reports from Baltimore, made
33.1S4 returns this year, constituting
about 80 per cent of the total for the
Maryland district, and paid s2.31T,-
415.13 cash. or about % per cent of
the total, for the district.
The number of taxable returns in the
Maryland district decrea sed, while the
non-taxable returns increased, indicat-
ing that a number of persons who paid
taxes last year evidently were exempted
this year.
The number of taxable returns for
this year was 10000 non-taxable 1oo,-
900, as compared with last years tax
able returns, totaling 104,10o, and non
taxable returns totaling 10000.
Officials Await Reports.
Treasury officials issued no official
statements on the income tax returns
today, awaiting compilation of more
complete returns from the collectors o1
internal revenue throughout the coHn-
try. Estimates, however, continued to
indicate that officials were hopeful OF
the first installment for the taxable
year 1922 reaching the $500, 200, 900 mark
if not. in fact, exceeding it.
Should the figure reach or exceed
$500, 100000 it would be q substantial
: increase over last years returns, and
according to officials, will be con
