STRINGENT DRY BILL
REPORTED TO HOUSE
Measure Does Not Provide Jail
Sentences for All Offenders of
Prohibition Laws.

Designed Ito impress upon those
who are violating the Constitution
that it is no trivial matter or joke,
the Stalker bill, which has stirred up a
storm of discussion, was favorably
reported to the House late yesterday
from the judiciary committee.
This measure does not provide
mandatory fine and Imprisonment
sentences for all violators of the pro-
hibition law, Representative Mitchen-
er pointed out in his report for the
committee.
For possession and transporta-
tion, money fine only is imposed for
the first offense," said the Michigan
member, who prepared the report.
"A money fine or Imprisonment is
imposed for a second offense, and a
fine and Imprisonment for third
offenses. One cannot be imprisoned
for first offense for the possession
of liquor.
"The abuse which has arisen in
giving entirely inadequate penalties
has had a tendency in many places
to create the impression that viola
tion of the national prohibition law
is a trivial matter

District Supreme Court Auditor
Finds Charges of Fraud
Baseless.

= Herbert L. Davis. auditor Of the
District Supreme Court. today filed a
report to the court, which will be read
with interest by the 1900 stockhold-
ers of the American Telegraphone Co..
which has a capital stock of $5,000,-
600. Charges and counter-charges of
fraud and mismanagement have been
pending for many months in the court.
including insinuations against w.
Clarke Taylor. the receiver. in con-
nection with. the handling Of the COM
pany's affairs since the court took
possession.
The report of the auditor commends
the management of Receiver Taylor
and holds as baseless the charges
made by Hugh P. O'Reilly and other
stockholders against the company and
it's management by Charles D. Rood.
The auditor suggests that the litiga-
ton so hurtful to the company be
speedily concluded. He also finds that
in his opinion the plaintiffs acted In
bad faith in bringing the litigation.
and their case should be dismissed.
Mr.. Davis finds that Rood bought
and paid for $4,000 shares at 81 a
share, making a total Of $188,00O. and
that the company Is indebted to Rood
individually in the sum of $114.549.
The report is voluminous and goes

Bell Plans to Save Attractive Knoll
Beyond Alaska Avenue as
Beauty Spot.

Plans for circular parkway at the
northern extremity of Sixteenth
street, Just beyond Alaska avenue,
are being formulated by Engineer
Commissioner Bell. In conjunction
with the National Capital Park Com
mission.
Col. Bell pointed out that where
Sixteenth street now ends there Is an
cut would have to be made whenever
that thoroughfare Is exended farther
north.
"It Is my thought" said the Engi-
mere Commissioner, that that is a
logical and admirable spot to pre-
serve by carrying the roadway around
Ii In a circular fashion. The eleva-
ton thus retained would command a
fine view of Rock Park Park and the
city to the southwark and would be
available for some future memorial"
The Engineer Commissioner said
that a circular parkway at Sixteenth
street and Alaska avenue would bal
ance the appearance of Sixteenth
street, which has the White House
and Lafayette Square at its southern
terminus. ,
While the plan has not taken on
definite shape, Col. Bell indicated that
he has broached 1t to officials of the
Park Commission, the Fine Arts Com
mission and to District Surveyor Mel
win c. HaZen.
Col. Bell compared the proposed
development to the Chevy Chase Cir
Gle on Connecticut avenue, but added
that the Sixteenth Street Circle would
be even more attractive because of
its elevation.

$500 fine or one year imprisonment
or both for refusal or failure to
make income tax returns. The
Missouri Supreme Court has up
heldthe constitutionality Of the law.
