CRONKH|TE CASE
IN HIGHEST COURT
U. S. Granted Review in Al
legged Murder of Major
at Camp Lewis.

The federal government was
granted a Supreme Court review to-
day of it's case against Roland r.
Pothier, charged with the murder of
Mai Alexander p. Cronkhite, at
Camp Lewis, Wash, during the world
war.
Together with Robert Rosenbluth,
Pothier was indicted in the federal
district court for western Washing
ton, but the first circuit court of ap-
peals directed that he be released on
habeas corpus proceedings, and a
United States commissioner in New
York refused to hold Rosenbluth.
Both took the position that the Camp
Lewis reservation had not completely
passed under the jurisdiction of the
United States at the time of the
shooting and that the state courts of
Washington alone could try the case.
The state courts denied that they had
jurisdiction, insisting that it was a
matter for the federal courts.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, October 22.-The declara-
ton of a Rhineland republic is regarded
by many persons in British officialdon
as the first step toward impending So
many. 1t confronts the British govern
ment with the alternative of recogniz-
ing the separatist move. which was fos-
tered by France against British ad-
vice. or Withdrawing British troops
from the area of occupation.
1t is reliably reported that one Brit
ish member of the Rhineland commits
sion now in London favors recognition
of the separatist movement and there
after full cooperation with France,
while others are advising the withdraw
al of troops to avoid the terribly COM
plicated and dangerous policy of at
tempting to maintain order in territory
which is disrupted by civil war. and
isolated from the remnants of authority
remaining in Berlin.
Decision Is Withheld.
The British decision hangs upon
the methods adopted by the separat-
lists. If the Rhineland republic re-
mains united by some means, forming
British problem will be simplified.
But complete separation would raise
the problem of divided authority. For
the time being the British authorities
intend to maintain their full powers
within the region assigned to them.
They want neither political nor ad-
ministrative disorders within the
British area, and II the leaders of
the Rhenish separatist movement
make any move toward extending
their campaign within the British
zone, it Is likely that they will meet
with resistance.
Doubt About Payments.
British diplomacy recognizes that
collecting reparations from an inde-
pendent Rhineland or a monarchist
Bavaria would be next to impossible
Both movements are founded upon
the desire of the Rhinelanders and
share of reparations. Their separate
existence would make the signature
of the Versailles peace treaty farci-
cal.
Great Britain has more to lose than
France, because to some extent
France gains her desired security at
the cost of her reparations, while
Great Britain loses everything she
might have gained from her war
victory over Germany.
Whatever action may be taken by
the British government will come
only after full consideration of the
situation by the empire conference.
The dominion premiers view the
European situation with gloomy fore
boding. and are anxious that Great
Britain make herself felt in new
pressure for reparations settle
ment.

PO|NCARE DOUBTS
SUCCESS ON RHINE
Troubles of Allies to Multiply
If Separatists Win, Off
cial View.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 22.-It is under
stood that Premier Poincare doubts
the success OF the separatist move
ment in the Rhineland. and appre-
hends increased difficulties for the al
lies if 1t succeeds. There seems to be
more worry in French official circles
over the situation in Bavaria than in
the Rhineland.
The dismemberment of the reich
would require the partition of Ger
many's reparation obligations among
the separate states, involving sepa-
rate negotiations and multiplying the
difficulties by as many times as Ger
many was split into separate units.
The French authorities will remain
clared at the foreign Office. The
French troops will intervene in no
way between the separatists and
their adversaries unless violence
breaks out Then. in line with the
policy followed by the occupation au-
thorities since the allies went into
the Rhineland, the troops will main
tain order.
Nnetner tne SepdTatlSl government I
will be recognized will be determined
when the occasion for a decision
arises, it is said, and this time has not
yet come.
In reparation circles it is felt that
serious economic problems would be
raised by German disme emberment,
even If it were confined to the Rhine
land and the Ruhr. The separation
of this area, it is feared would
amount to the complete economic
dissociation of unoccupied Germany
with the seeding territories at least
temporarily. and the latter would find
it difficult to keep their great indus
tries going without the old home
market, making it impossible to keep
the workers employed, and bringing
on the greatest distress.

button, provide the increase of taxa
ton which is to enable the Capital
to meet a 20 per cent bolstering of
its proportionate contribution.
Taxation Heavily Increased.
For example it's intangible tax rate
is increased Sc 2-3 per cent. In the
year before the new law (the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1929 the reve-
nue. from this source was $949.05S. In
the year after the new law (the fiscal
year 1929 the revenue from intan-
gibles was S1.723, ,443.10, an increase
over 1922 of $774,3s5.10, or nearly 50
per cent.
continues to be imposed on the whole
some classified tax system, and with
an increase of rate (from 8 to 5 mills).
which causes it to lead in rate, 1t is
believed, among the classified tax states.
The most conspicuous states In this
class are: Minnesota g milis), Mary
land 6 mills local, 11s state). Penn
sylvania a mills).
This larger rate is applied to more
extensive list of objects of taxation
than in such states as Maryiand.
which does not tax mortgages or bank
deposits of non-residents, or of resi-
dents unless they bear interest, or
book-accounts, or in general non-pro-
ductive securities or credits; Mime
sofa, which does not tax shares of
stock. money and credits belonging to
incorporated banks, certain mortgages
and municipal bonds: Pennsylvania.
which does not tax bonds except those
of Pennsylvania corporations owned
nv residents of Pennsylvania, and
Delaware, Washington state and
Idaho. which do not tax any intan-
gibles.
The District intangible tax seems,
on the other hand, to cover all credits
whatsoever
The Districts revenue from its per-
sonalty tax, on tangibles and intan-
gibles was in the fiscal year 1923
Sd, 500, ,045.20.
This figure Is to be compared with
the revenue from this source as shown
hv the 1920 figures in the following
cities. compiled by Statistician Grogan,
in charge of the census bureau statistics
OF cities:

to solely enjoyed by ii, must here

the year before the new law (flscaI
year 1929 the District had $1.56S.417
of this revenue to apply upon its half
contribution. In the fiscal year 1928
the District had only $1.4s0.S62 of
such revenue to apply upon it's 90 per
cent contribution. OF this revenue
there was credited 20 the United
States in 1922 $412,464. and in 1929
$S92,61S. Thus the Districts proper
tionate contribution is increased. and
a source of revenue for meeting this
contribution is at the same time de-
creased.
The change by the 1922 law of the
standard of realty assessment from
two-thirds to full value has also a
practical (though not theoretically
tendency to increase the Districts
real estate tax levy. The delusion
that the tax rate is alone fair meas
ure of taX-burden is so widespread
and deep-rooted that reduction Of the
Districts tax rate. which follows the
raising of its assessment standard. in
Vites the criticism of all the American
communities which have low assess
ment standards and practices and
high tax rates. and which mistakenly
believe that their higher tax rates
necessarily mean that they are higher
taxed. The Districts reduction In

GAS RATE HEARING
DELAY IS REFUSED
Utilities Commission Open
Case Despite Plea of
Company.

The Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light companies today failed in
an effort to persuade the Public
Utilities Commission to postpone con-
sideration of a reduction in the price
of gas.
AS soon as the public hearing had
opened in the District building this
morning the companies. through At
torneys Benjamin Minor and George
P. Hoover, moved that the entire
question of gas rates be deferred un-
til the disputed valuation of the gas
properties has been settled.
Maj. J. Franklin Bell, chairman
of the commission, overruled the
motion and directed Walter c. Allen,
secretary to the commission, to take
the stand and present the reasons
which prompted the commission to
institute the investigation.
Excessive, Rate of Return.
Mr. Allen testified that for the first
seven months of the calendar year
1928 the income available for return
was s746.311.71. Applying this to the
estimated valuation of the property
for that period of $13,143. 449.14, the rate
of return was 9.73 per cent, accord
ing to the secretary's testimony. This
is more than the commission has
always regarded as a reasonable re-
turn.
Continuing his testimony, Mr.. Allen
made another compilation which
showed that if the companies busi-
ness Is the same for the remain
der of this year as 1t was for the
same months last year the rate of
return at the end of the calendar year
would be slightly more than 10 per
cent.
Mr.. Allen then was directed to put
into the record the present rates for
gas, which follow: To users of less
than $4,000 cubic feet a month, S1.05
per 1000 feet; from so, 900 to 100000
feet, 81; from 100000 to 100000, 95
cents; from 100000 to 100000, 90
cents, and all over that amount, IS
cents.
Return for 1922.
Mr.. Aliens. testimony showed that
for the year 1922 the return on fair
value was 40 per cent.
Attorneys Minor and Hoover cross
examined Mr.. Allen at length to bring
out the point that the Washington
Gas Company has not been allowed a
sufficient sum for general maintenance
and amortization.
The testimony showed that the
practice of the company Is to allot
8 cents per 1000 feet of gas sold to
this fund, but Robert o. Luqueer, an
expert witness for the company, testi-
fed that in past hearings the COM
pany has asked for an allowance of
IL or IL cents per 1000 feet of gas
for that fund.
The companies placed Mr.. Luqueer.
an accountant, on the stand to ana
lyze the record of operations for the
commission. He inserted in the rec
ord a number of exhibits explaining
his analysis.

Poet Winner IL, Duel With Duke
Ouer Tax on Theater Tickets

came offended and is said to have
applied the epithet "blackguard" to
the poet. Richepin responding with a
slap on the ducal cheek.
The duel took place at Louve-
ciennes. near Versailles. Great
precautions were taken to keep
the meeting place secret.
The seconds for the duke were
Marcel Boulanger. the artist. and
Commandant Droin, while Richie
pins seconds were Jean Joseph
Renaud. one of Frances greatest
authorities on dueling, and Max
inc Gerard of Figaro.
The duke attacked furiously. but
the poets sober style soon had the
Italian on the defensive, painting
from his own eSertions and break
ing ground. and finally receiving a
wound just above the right wrist.
The duke was loatn to desist, but
the seconds ruled that his in
feriority was so manifest. owing
to the wound and consequent loss
of blood, that he would not have n
fair chance, and they overruled
the dukes proposal that he use his
left arm to defend himself to the
finish. The adversaries shook
hands. the poet congratulating the
nobleman on his courage. Later
the two were reconciled at q lunch
con, where they drank one an
others health.
