HELD AS DRIVER
OF DEATH" AUTO
Henry c. Abramovitz Ar.
rested in Killing of Woman
by Speeding Car.

After securing pooIrooms, garages
and odd hooks and crannies Of the
city, seeking clues for three days
and two nights. Detectives Ira Keck
and Charles Mansfield of headquar-
tiers last night arrested Henry
Charles Abramovitz, resident at the
Vendome Hotel, as the alleged opera
tor of the speeding automobile which
killed Carrie Harris, colored, fifty
four, early Wednesday morning in
front of the House office building.
According to the detectives Abram-
ovitz made a clean breast of the oc-
currence. He admitted, they declared,
that he was driving an automobile
at the time the woman was
struck at New Jersey avenue and B
street southeast and dragged in the
street all the way to list street.
Abramovitz. however, the detectives
said, insisted that he did not know
he had struck any one because the
curtains on the side Of the automo-
bile prevented clear vision. How
ever, he told the detectives, they said,
that he thought he hit a bump in the
street at New Jersey avenue and that
he regarded subsequent lunches and
bumps Of the automobile as due to
defects in the street. No charge was
placed against him.
Auto Believed Found,
In northwest garage, the police
believe they have located the auto
mobile which killed the woman. A
big, high-powered touring car was
there, left by. Abramovitz, it Is al
legged, under a fictitious name for
overhauling.
The headlights, tenders and radia-
tor were damaged. The Commits
sioners offered a 500 reward for the
apprehension of the reckless driver
who was the cause of the Harris
woman's DEATH,
A coroner's jury last Thursday at
the Morgue held that the woman
came to her death at the hands of
some unknown person operating an
automobile at or about New Jersey
avenue and B street southeast on the
morning OF February 26. She died at
Casualty Hospital thirty-six hours
later.
At the inquest testimony was in
troduced showing that the death car
was a high-powered machine going
at terrific" rate Of speed.
Abramovitz figured in 1920 in a
shooting at I'd and I streets south
west and was acquitted subsequently
of killing George Edward Moore,
oolored bootlegger, in a pistol battle
over. liquor. 90

SENATE APPROVAL
OF HOUSE SURTAX
RATE IS EXPECTED
Slight Cut PossibIe-Pro-
gressive Demands for Boost
to Get Little Support.

The tax reduction bill will be
passed by the Senate without in
creasing the surtax rates above 371s
per cent, the rate fixed by the House,
it was indicated last night.
In fact, there may be further re-
duction in the surtaxes by the Sem
ate-a figure set somewhere between
the Is per cent maximum urged by
Secretary Mellon and supported by
President Coolidge and the limit
fixed by the House.
This does not mean there will be
no effort to raise the surtax rates
again to the so per cent maximum of
the present law. Nor does 1t mean
there will be no attempt to re-enact
TIE excess profits taxes. But it is
believed that these attempts will be
unsuccessful. The so-called pro-
gressive group In the Senate, headed
by Senator La Toilette, Will further
such amendments, but it Is not be-
lieved that they will have sufficient
support among the democrats to ac-
complish this result.
Sees Conservative Action,
In fact, one democratic member Of
the Senate finance committee which
must handle the bill-Senator Walsh
af Massachusetts said that he be-
lieved the bill as 1t finally passes the
Senate would be more conservative
in the matter Of rates than the
House bill.
Senator King of Utah, another
democratic member of the committee.
expressed the belief that the House
surtax rates would be retained Sena-
tor King introduced bill recently
providing for a maximum Of 35 per
cent in the surtax rates. His bill
also provides greater exemptions for
the small incomes than are provided
in the House bill-making the in
come Of an unmarried person exempt
up to $4,000 and a married person
up to $4,000.
Simmons Is Silent.
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina,
ranking democratic member of the
finance committee, was unwilling to
pass final judgment on the bill and
the rates as passed by the House at
this time. AS the leader of his party
on tax matters in the Senate, it is
expected that he will confer with
the other democratic senator's before
any decision is reached. He said. how
ever, that very likely the democrats
will want more than the surtax rates
in the House bill" The House demo-
Gratis stood for a A per cent maxi
mum.
Senator Simmons said that he be-

DANIELS DECLINES
TO enter PRIMARY
Suggests to Georgia Friends "Thou
Shalt Not Steal" Be Made
Platform Plank.
By the Associated Press.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 1.-Jo-
sepheus Daniels, former Secretary of
the Navy, today telegraphed friends
in Georgia who had requested to be
allowed to place, his name in the
contest for democratic presidential
nomination in the primaries of that
state, not to enter him in the pri-
mary, according to special dispatches
received here tonight by the Raleigh
News and Observer from Washing
ton, where Mr.. Daniels is at present.
Mr.. Daniels kilograms, which the
dispatch said were addressed to a
number Of prominent democrats In
Georgia, were in answer to tele-
graphic requests from the Georgians
that they be allowed to enter his
name in the primary before the clos
ing date, next Monday. He express
ed appreciation Of their support, but
asked that no steps be taken to place
his name before the people as a can
didate for President.
SuGgests Platform.
At the same time Mr.. Daniels, &C.
cording to the dispatch, expressed
himself as practically sure Of demo-
cratic victory this year. and in a
statement declared that the demo-
Gratis should write a progressive plat
form, and If he had chance to write
1t he would incorporate two planks,
''Thou shalt not stear and Thou
shalt not kill"
He explained the first plank by
adding that stealing should be out
lawed "either directly or by graft
or by stupidity" and the second by
declaring that not to kill would mean
that America must take the place
offered to it in 1919 to lead the world
to permanent peace"
