Lurking in Dark,
Rum Ships Peril,
Skipper Reports
By the Associate ted Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 16-Dark-
ened ships, lying at night beyond
the three mile limit directly In
the path of incoming liners, have
become a menace to legitimate
shipping, Capt. J. w. Mckenzie of
the steamship Fort Victoria de-
clared on his arrival He reported
sighting a group of vessels. be-
Heved to have been part of the
fleet along the Jersey coast which
recently supplied scores of motor
boats with caEgoes of liquor.
There is great danger in the
presence of such "a feet" said
Capt. Mckenzie, for the vessels
carry no lights at night, as they
probably are seeking new loca-
tions or keeping under cover of
darkness TO avoid the prohibition
navy.
Last night a binding storm
made navigation difficult and the
danger, was increased by the fact
that the booze feet could not be
seen. although we believed il to
be there. The fleet has grown
smaller since 1 went out last
Wednesday. At that time there
were twelve schooners and one
Canadian steamship of about 1000
tons, the latter anchored about
twelve miles off the lightship. To-
day there seemed 10 be only
seven schooners and the steam

grounds at Indian, Head. Nd. are
cooperating with, Frederick S.
Barbour. county game warden, in
an endeayor to apprehend the per-
son who has been catching ducks

A submarine chaser was sent out
from the Indian Head station re-
the plane or its owner The air
hunter, however. did not put in an
appearance during the time the
naval vessel patrolled the river,
and IL was thought he had put a
stop to his activities. During the
past week, the game warden said,
the plane again started it's hunt.
and on one occasion was seen to
chase a goose for several miles
over the open country. Naval au-
thorities have assured Mr.. Barbour
they would send out an airplane
to assist in the capture of the law
breaker.
The hunting plane was first re-
ported here several weeks ago. 1t
was said at that time the pilot would
fly up the river. locate a flock of
ducks and then put them to flight.
AS the ducks would fly away, he
was said to have piloted his ma

the aid of a large pocket-shaped
net stretched from the wings of

of them.

CHANGE IN AUTOTAX
|. FORM IS APPROVED
TWo-Cent Gasoline Assess
ment in D. c. and Maryland
Endorsed by Motorists.
SEE AID TO RECIPROCITY
Public Revenue Derived Equal to
That of Present System, National
Association Asserts.

\ change i'll the present form OF
District of Columbia taxation on auto
mobiles from the tag and personal tax
fee to the two-cent -a-gallon gasoline tax
now in effect in Maryland was approved
yesterday by the advisory board of the
National Motorists Association.
The association believes that with the
gasoline tax reciprocity can be secured
with Maryland and the personal tax
on automobiles in the District eliminat-
ed. inasnluch as the cents per gallon
tax on gasoline will bring in approx
mately the same revenue.
Tax Regarded Equitable.
Facts and figures in connection with
the various forms of taxation were pre-
sented. and. after deliberation it was
District would be equitable. provided
that "Such a form of taxation be the
means of obtaining motoring reciprocity
with the state of Maryland, and that
such reciprocity grant the full and COM
plete use of Maryland roads by District
motorists without any sort of Mary
land identification tag and without Dis
trict motorists being compelled to quail
fy under the Maryland title law, as
has been the case heretofore: that such
! form of taxation in the District of CO.
lumbia be in lieu of personal property
! tax on automobiles. and, in fact. in
! lieu of any and all other forms of auto.
mobile taxation in the District. with
the exception of nominal sum for an
Identification tag"
Oppose Addition to Cost.
There was manifested emphatic op-
position to any change in automobile
taxation that would add to the cost
of District car ownership. In reaching
decision to favor a two-cent-a-g gallon
tax, it was the opinion of the board
that this method. with it's two pro-
vises, would save District motorists
both actual money and annoyance.
By adopting a two-Cent-a-gallon tax
in lieu of personal property tax on
District automobiles, and also thereby
gaining reciprocity with MARYLAND
only an annual money outlay for Dis
trct motorists. but elimination of the
annoyance Of obtaining Maryland
tags and submitting to the Maryland
tftling law, but also believe that this
method would increase the District
revenue from automobiles.
Alternative Plan Rejected.
Consideration was given the propo-
sition of a one-cent-a- gallon tax and
nominal sum for identification tag
but it was not believed this method
would either gain reciprocity with
Maryland or be sufficiently SatlStac-
tory in lieu of the personal property
tax.
The board also had in mind the
problem of many Washington firms
operating fleets of delivery cars that
do not enter Maryland, and, therefore
would not benefit by gasoline taz
not providing for the elimination of q
personal property tax.
Notification of the action of the
". NJ. A. was forwarded today to the
District Commissioners.
Members of the advisory board pres.
ent at the meeting included William
Ullman, chairman: walter B. Guy, DR.
f. G. Seibert. Rudolph Jose. Raymond
Beck and Lee Lemar Robinson.

BILL TO EQUAL|zE
PENSIONS FAVORED
Report to House Recon-
mendS Enactment of Meas
ure for Police-Firemen.

Representative Fred n. Zihlman Of
Maryland today filed in the House, as
authorized by the House District com
mittee, favorable report on the bill to
eqalize pensions of retired policemen
and firemen of the District
This measre affects 159 members OF
the two departments, who would re-
ceive an increase in pension with to
! tai cost to the District of approximately
$41,So4 year
In his report Representative Zihlnan
states that this bill is indorsed by the
District Commissioners He reviews
| the fact that in 1916 Congress passed
| law, known as the policemen's ands.
| firemen's relief fund. which provided
| that Y per cent of the monthly salary
| of each member, with all fines imposed
by the Commissioners upon members
of the two departments by way of dis
/ cipline and with all rewards, proceeds Of
| gifts and proceeds of sale Of unclaimed
| property in the custody Of the police
/ department, should constitute a relief
| fund for firemen and policemen.
Benefits of the Law.
| Under the provisions OF this law
| tiiN III diio pOlItcHlcH VINO are
| injured in the course of their dnt,
| receive medical and hospital treat
ment. which is paid for from the
| relief fund. When any member be-
| comes permanently disabled through
injury received or disease contracted
in the line of duty, or having served
not less than twenty-fiv years and
| reached the age of fifty-five years
q a FnN T.
emily disabled so as to incapacitat,
| hlm for the performance of duty
shall be eligible for retirement
These pensioners receive so per
cent of the monthly salary received
at the date of retirement. The pur-
pose of the act favorably reported
by the District committee is to
equalize the pensions of all policemen
| and firemen, their widows and o.
phans.
Total of Pensioners Last Year.
Last year, Mr.. Zihlman points out.
| there were 443 pensioners on the rolls.
307 members from the police depart
ment and 136 members from the fir.
department.
In speaking for the committee Rep-
resentatiye Zihlman said: Your COM
| mittee is of the opinion that all pen
| slonerS VINO are SUBJECT 10 the same
| living costs and who have rendered
| exceptional service to the District and
who have been injured or have been
retired because of age, should receive
! the same pension, and that there
! should be no discrimination in the
+ treatment of these aged and disabled
/ public servants because of the period
! of their retirement. In the case of
some the retirement was prior to the
| passage of the bill increasing the pay
| Of n0lican1pn and firaTQan The
| ber of men affected by this bill will
| grow less each succeeding year and
all future pensions paid will be upon
the same basis"
