with plotting the death of her
husband, Joseph Apolonio, Of
COL Eleventh st. N. E., today

not guilty.
Deny Both Charges
Charged under two separate
counts in the indictment, they
pleaded not guilty to both, the first
being a charge of conspiracy TO
commit murder, the second, solici-
tation of another to commit MUIR
der.
Hammer Nervous
The arrangements and pleas were
entered in Criminal Court No. /,
presided over by Justice A. A. Hoeh-
ling. Dry-eyed and of Amazon pro-
portions, Mrs. Apolonio, presented
a striking contrast to DR.. Hammer.
who is dimunitive in size and
nervously rubbed his hands and
moistened his lips during the pro-
ceedings.
Justice Hoehling granted each de-
fendant ten days in which to file
such motions as they or their coun.
sci might desire. The customary
time for filing such motions is five
days but because of the length Of
the indictment the court told coun-
sci that they would be given more
time.
Mrs. Apolonio following her ar.
rest was freed under $1,000 bond,
and DIR. Hammer, unable to make
$4,000 bond Is still in Jail. On
motion of counsel, however, the

In the indictment the pair are
charged with % overt acts in con-
nection with the alleged crime. The
District Attorneys office, which
will prosecute the case, declared
that the husbands refusal to be a
witness for the Government would
have no bearing on the prosecution
and expressed belief that convic-

his wife not guilty.
The defense of the accused Is that

A tax rate of $1.70 for each
500 worth of taxable real
estate and tangible personal
property in the District of CO.
lumbia during the fiscal year
beginning July l, was ordered
by the District Commissioners
today.
Compromise Rate
The rate fixed by the Commits
sioners today represents q last
minute compromise between the
rate Of $I.75 which they had pre-
viOusly determined upon and the
rate of $1.65 demanded by the
local trade organizations,
In Reality An Increase
Although the new rate is 10 cents
lower than the $3.50 rate in effect
during the year now coming to a
close, it will actually make local
property owners pay 10 per cent
more taxes because the total as
sessments on real estate have been
increased from $3.50, 900, 900 to about
$1.15O. 900, 900.
In describing the operation Of the
tax rate during the present fiscal
year Donovan reported that the
rate produced $25.041.3 1894 during the
year from real estate, tangible and
intangible personal property, public
utilities. banks, buildings associa-
tons and collections from miscel-
laneous sources of revenue.
To this total is added the So
100000 contributed by the Federal
Government. and a cash credit on
June 30. 1925, of $254, AIS, making
the total revenue credits of the
District for the year $34,295,870.
$32,71O,752 Obligations
The total obligations of the Dis.
trict during the year, Donovan re-
ported, amounted to $32, 710,752. In
reaching this total, Donovan sub
tracted from the appropriation for
the year totaling $33,918,5T1, items
chargeable to the water fund, the
surplus revenue fund, and the
gasoline tax fund. and added the
amounts carried in the deficiency

There were ramors of massaeres and the inhabitants were afraid of their own shadows and much alarmed They were aroused at mid night, one dark, foggy July night by sounds the like of which were never heard before.
 Parson Whites negro, returning late from frolie. first heard the startling clamor Rushing to his mas ter he exclaimed. 70 Massa. Good Lordie Massa, don't you hear dem com ing-de outlandish3'
