That though the springs may be
kept well fabricated by squirting oil
over them, this method facilitates the
accumulation of dirt and grit be-

tory way of getting spring comfort is
to clean and graphite the springs and
then protect them with covers.

BARRING Of

UPHELD
Warrant Will Be Issued by
U. S. Today-"Prince"
Gives Up Fight

A warrant of deportation for
Zerdecheno, the alleged Emir of
Kurdistan, is to be issued by the
Department of Labor today.
This formal action follows the
decision of the board of review
upholding Inspector William John
sons findings in the case.
Is Fake Diplomat"
According to Inspector johnson.
the Emir was a fake diplomat"
obtaining entrance into the United
States on a fraudulent passport and
making Misrepresentation to i'm
migration officers as to his status.
The warrant for deportation will
end the Emir's stormy career in
Washington and New York. Ever
since he arrived in the United
States, in July, he has been trailed
by a succession of charges and
countercharges relating to his Euro
pean career, where he has run the
gamut from a prince of royal blood
to swindler on the streets of Con.
stantinople, it is said.
Ever since the Emir was arrested,
two months ago. he has been out on
bond. His attorney, Abner Siegal,
has issued an attachment against
the money he deposited for securing
the bond, so as to make sure of
his fee. The Emir. so far as can
be ascertained, will make no fur.

Arrangements for shipping him
abroad are in the hands of Commits

President Coolidge will attend the

RE NAMING Of
D. {. JUDGES
|SPROBABLE
President Not to Take Any
Decisive Action on Nc
Mahon Till December

President Coolidge probably will
reappoint John P. Mcmahon. judge
Of the Police court, and Miss
Kathryn Sellers. Juvenile Court
judge, in the next few days.
Their terms expire on Saturday.
The present .reappointments,
however, probably will be only of
recess nature, with the Presi-
dent keeping his mind open as to
whether he will renominate Judge
Mcmahon when Congress convenes
next December.
Isaac r. Hit, former United
States Commissioner here, today
was endorsed for the police court
judgeship by Samuel j. Prescott
Republican National Committeeman
for the District of Columbia. Mr..
Prescott conferred with Secretary
Slemp on the appointment today,
urging the choice of a Republican,
and calling attention to the fact
that Commissioner Hit has teen 4
strong Republican worker in Wash.
ington for many years. He de.
clared that Judge Hit has been
endorsed by the Republican organi-
zation here.
So far as can be ascertained, the
opposition to Judge Mcmahon has
not made much of an impression
on the White House. The charges
against him have not been credited
by those who have investigated his
record on behalf of the President.
Nevertheless there is a feeling
that the next Police Court judge
should he a Republican instead OF
a Democrat, and although no de.
finite course of action has been
determined upon, it is probably
that the anticipated reappointment
of Judge Mcmahon will not be
followed by a denomination next
December.
The case Of Judge Sellers is diff
ferent. she Is a Republican and
the opposition to her is not political
in nature. II is probable that she
will be reappointed both for the
recess term and renominated in
! December.

Impost
TIAEs 8TFF PHOTO

The District and Federal govern
ments must pay the 2-cent gasoline
tax, Frank H. Stephens, corporation
counsel, ruled today.
His opinion was given following
an inquiry by the American Oil
Company which stated that the
government of Maryland. Penn
sylvania. West Virginia and Della.
ware were exempted from gasoline
taxation in those States.
Mr.. Stephens opinion follows: 81
return herewith the letter Of the
American Oil Company inquiring
whether the tax of 2 cents on
gasoline should be paid by con.
factors selling gasoline to the Dis
trict and Federal governments. In
other words. whether a contractor
in making bids should add the tax
to his price per gallon.
1.-THE question is asked because of
the fact that this tax is paid into
revenues of the District of
Columbia to be expended upon
highways.
''There is no exception in the
law by which an importer can
escape the payment of tax by
reason of the fact that sales are
made to District and Federal gov.
ernments. l am of the opinion,
therefore, that the tax should be
paid as in other cases."
The Commissioners approve this
opinion and hereafter the local and
Federal governments will pay the
gas tax.
