TAX LEAKS
MAY BE STOPPED
Couzens Committee Favors
Assessment of Transfers
Before Death.

Amendments to the estate tax law
so as to provide for the taxation OF
all property transferred by the own
er within two years prior to his
death, or to fix an age limit after
which all transfers of property shall
be taxable are among the recon-
menda tions made to the special Sen
ate committee investigating the In
| ternsl Revenue Bureau, it was an
| nounced today by Senator Couzens
chairman.
Instances were cited by Senator
Couzens showing that the Govern
ment lost considerable taxes because
of the difficulty in interpreting the
present law, which provides for taxa
ton Of transfers of property under
estate tax rates when made lin con-
temptation Of death"
Fairness Is Questioned.
Pointing to cases in which the bu-
reau solicitor had overruled deci-
sions in favor of the Government by
special investigators involving large
sums which had been approved by a
board of review, Senator Couzens de-
clared the committee had discussed
the question whether this system is
fair to the Government and whether
il is fair to put this tremendous re-
sponsibility on the solicitor
The committee has concluded the
estate tax phase of it's investigation
and expects soon to draw up recon-
mendations for Strengthening the
law
A typical case laid before the com
mittee follows:
Case of Mr.. A.-The case involved
the transfer of s2,Soo,00O of property
and the tax involved was $3.50
Mr.. A. was 70 years OF age when he
died. He had been sick for several
years. Within the two-year period
prior to his death. he transferred the
property. The Treasury revenue
agent investigated and recommended
that it be taxed in that it had been
made "in contemplation of DEATH
Motive Not Proved.
On appeal to the solicitor of the
bureau, the review board was re-
yersed and the solicitor held the
transfer should not be taxed, because
it could not be proved that IT had
been made in contemplation of death.
The Government, thereby, lost the
tax.
Chairman Couzens said that Nelson
II Hart, solicitor for the bureau, had
told the committee the newly created
gift tax would aid in enforcement of
the estate tax provisions through
checking losses by gifts. Estimates
of the amount of revenue collectable
under this tax were difficult or de-
termination, however, it was testihed,
along with the problem of harmonic
ing its application with administra-
ton of the income tax
The gift tax was denounced by the
administration when 1t was under
discussion at the last session of Con-
greSs.
A vulcanizer to be used in laying
non -lea king roofs has been invented.

Near-Ssanpede at Late
Home of 3 Rich
Spinsters.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


WINCHESTER, Va, December s.
Dinner plates identified as having
been purchased at a five and ten-cent
store brought SO and 81 yesterday at
the concluding auctioning of the
goods and chattels of the late Misses
Shumate, rich spinsters, whose death
occurred recently, so eager were an
tique fans in their determination to
buy something in the house, where
no less than $4,000 in gold and pa
per money has been found secreted
since the last of the Shumate sisters
died. Five Wedgewood plates, how
ever, were bought by ]. Fl. stiles of
York. Pa, for $19. The same man
paid SIS for a small mirror and SCI
for another.
Bidding for antiques was so frantic
at times that it was quite difficult to
keep the sales records straight.
Unique among the property offered
was over 1000 yards of dress goods,
accumulated through many years. 1t
consisted of rare silks, linens. broad
cloth and the more modest ginghams
and calicoes.
One quilt sold for s33 and scores of
others for prices ranging from $3.50
to SIG. Edward Knodle, Hagerstown,
Md. paid $33 for a small silhouette
of John Randolph of Roanoke. He paid
SIS for a small wooden doll, with one
leg missing, that belonged to old Mrs.
Shumate $50 years ago. A dozen
Adam chairs fetched S13S, the pur-
chasers being Miss Mamie Cooper,
this city, and It. r. Wood, Culpeper,
Va. Two pairs old-time bellows, used
in kindling fires, cost Mr.. Knodle, $50.
Mahogany furniture made by hand
over 125 years ago brought enormous
prices.
Suits already have been instituted
in local courts to dispose of the es-
tates Of Misses Elizabeth, Rebecca
and Matte Shumate, and with per-
sons in all sections of the United
States claiming to be heirs t law
indicati tions are, lawyers asserted, the
court dockets Will be burdened for
years to come with litigation.

ASKS NEW BUILDING
AT ST. ELzABETH'S.
Annual Report Says Inmates
Increased, Deaths De-
creased During Year.

st Elizabeth's Hospital had a
daily average population of Ala
during the past fiscal year, accord
ing TO the annual report of the hos
pital. This was an increase over
the previous year of 1872. The total
number of deaths was 223. decrease
from the previous. year of 50. The
cost per patient per year was from
$541.50 to $500"
\ new hospital building of approx
imately five stories and basement is
recommended as one Of the greatest
needs in providing the most modern,
enlightened curative treatment to our
patients"
This new building, the report says,
would be the unit in which ''all the
hospital groups of the institution
would be centered. containing bed
room for approximately 165 patients
and in this manner relieving the
building at present occupied as hos
pital for the additional patients
which are being admitted daily.
Need Of Building Stressed.
We cannot lay too much stress
on the need for the building just
described" says the report. and un-
less additional beds are furnished
the institution Will soon become so
oyercrowded that the best treatment
cannot be afforded to its patients
The other buildings requested are
two gatehouses.
The most important happenings of
the year have been in connection with
the increasing improvement in the
medical care of patients and the
scientific understanding of their dis
abilities. At the close of the year
the Blackburn Laboratory has been
completed, for housing all, of the
clinical and scientific activities of
the hospital.
Affiliations have been made with
various training schools for nurses
IL the city, SO that our nurses and
the nurses of the other hospitals may
have the opportunity of a wider train
ing in caring for mental illness. The
st. Elizabeth training school has re-
Ceived recognition by the nurses
registry board of. the District of Co
lumbia, SO that hereafter our gradu
ateS will be on par with those of
other hospitals in general training,
aside from the specially which is par
ticularly stressed here.
Isolation Building Completed.
at the close of the fiscal year the
isolation building for the care and
treatment of patients suffering from
contagious diseases had been COM
pItIeu II Is dfIduSeu iOI lle care
of 30 patients and went into com
mission almost at once. 1t will un-
doubtedly continue to serve very
useful purpose. for it is to be realized
that the hospital reservation con-
tains some 5000 people who contact
at innumerable points with the gen
erdl population of the District, and
that therefore occasional cases of con-
tagious diseases are inevitable.
AT the close OF the year various
other activities looking toward the
better care and treatment of patients

'Muusements

A packed house, with standing room
at a premium, greeted Vierra's Ha-
waiians when they entertained the
public Tuesday evening at the gym
nasium, under the auspices of the
L'Anse Odd Fellows.
The Vierra's are an unusual COM
pany, featuring an unusual type of
entertainment, and there was not a
one who attended the entertainment
here who did not feel that he was well
repaid for the money and time spent.
Seldom indeed does such a talented
troupe visit L'Anse.
The program consisted Of Hawaii
an songs and musical selections, vi
olin, ukelele and steel guitar solos,
and popular hits of the dav. The au-
dience repeatedly encored the music
ians and they were kept continuous
ly busy from the time the curtain
went up until the conclusion Of the
play.
This company made an enviable
record during their appearance on one
of the biggest Redpath Chautauoua
circuits last summer. Their singing
of the tunefully seductive Hawaiian
songs, and their playing of native Ha-
waiian instruments, captivates audi
ences everywhere.
Albert Vierra, baritone and director
Of this popular company, has been
playing and singing for many years
in the United States, and to him is
due much credit for the popularity Of
real Hawaiian music.
