F0RD'S TAX VIEWS
QUOTED AT HEARING
Told Senator Couzens No
Further Assessments Likely.
Blair TeStifies.

Henry Ford assured Senator
Couzens of Michigan that he would
be free of further tax assessments
when the Couzens stock In the Ford
Motor Co. was transferred to Ford,
David II. Blair, commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, testified today in the
hearing on the Government suit to
collect $30,000,000 from former Ford
minority stockholders.
Mr.. Blair stated he called in person
on. Senator Couzens at the Capitol to
inform him of the impending assess
ment on the basis of the Govern
ments reappraisal of the value of
Ford stock in the Spring of 1918.
In company with Mr.. Nash, by
chief deputy, called in person on
Senator Couzens as / felt 1t was
courtesy due Senator, Blair said.
Counsel for the taxpayers, in the
face of heavy opposition by Mr.. Gregg,
chief of the Governments counsel,
succeeded in having read into the
record numerous letters and memo
randa bearing on the confirmation of
the evaluation of Ford stock in 1918
of $9,4S9 per share, which was Ap.
proved by the Treasury Department
after an exhaustive survey. The
documentary testimony purports to
prove that the assessment was con-
sideed final by the Treasury Depart
ment at that time and as a result
it was made the basis of the transfer
of the minority stock to Henry Ford
G. r. Nash, deputy commissioner of
internal revenue, testified that the
assessment levied against the minority
stockholders was imposed in June,
1928, because the statute of 1imita-
tons was about to run out.

W.R. & {. REFUSES
VIVA. PROPOSITION
Ham Says Plan of Taking
Over Line Does Not Ap-
peal to Company.

The Washington Railway and Elac
trio Co, after careful investigation.
has rejected proposal that it take
over and operate the bankrupt Wash
ington-V Virginia Railway system, 1t
was disclosed today by William +.
Ham, president of the former com
pany.
At the request of a committee OF
Virginians interested in continuing
the line, which operates between this
city and Alexandria, Mount Vernon.
Falls Church and Fairfax. the local
traction company made a study of the
Virginia system, but was mot I'M
pressed" It was stated.
Tho proposition which Mr.. Ham &
company was considering did not in.
volve outright purchase Of the hold
ings of the Virginia line
by the w. r. & r. Co, but called for a
plan OF joint control with certain Vir
ginia interests 1t was learned.
"Off1cials of our company agreed to
look into the merits Of such a PROPOSE
ton" Mr.. Ham said. ''and we did 80,
including taking a ride over the sys-
tenn from one end to the other. We
found. after due elaboration. that We
were not interested.
The decision of the local transporta-
lion OIIiClaIS CONSTITUTES a. StNeTS DlON
TO a citizens committee of nearby
Virginia which has been endeavoring
TO find some way to save the railway
from total abandonment. This com
mittee. of which NJ. r.. Church Of
Falls Church was chairman. has
sought to obtain a possible purchaser
for the system on the basis of its
scrap" value.
Failure of these efforts was in
dicated recently in an announcement
by the receivers that the holdings OF
the company will be sold at public
auction in April. The Circuit Court
in Alexandria is to fix the date for this
sale. it Is understood.
The company operates electric cars
from Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue over one double-track line to
Arlington Junction, Va. where
separate lines diverge to Alexandria
and Mount Vernon and to Clarendon,
Falls Church and Fairfax. The rail
road also operates bus line over the

CITIZEN GROUPS CALLED
AID TO HIGHER IDEAL S

The need of higher Ideals in citizen

Consideration in Care
full Survey.

Displaying desire to consider care
fully ali items in the new District ap-
preparation bill for street paving and
school building development, the Sen
ate subcommittee. headed by Senator
Phipps of Colorado. spent another day
in touring the city today and will make
third trip TO various sections of the
District tomorrow.
This will mean that it will be at
least Saturday before the subcommit-
tee Will be able to begin passing upon
the details in executive session. and
in the meantime 1t is impossible to say
to what extent the bill az reported to
the Senate will vary from the House
provisions.
Present indications are the bill will
not be reported TO the Senate before
Monday or Tuesday As passed by the
House it carried approximately S36.-
$4,000, and while the Senate probably
will add something to this figure, the
amount of the addition is still unde.
termined. 1t also is probable that GER
tain items in the House bill may be
reduced.

GEN. IBANEz SEXES
CHILE PREMIERSHIP
Takes Control After DeClar-
ing Cabinet Too Weak to
Fight Red Influence.
By the Associated Press.


SANTIAGO. Chile, February TO-
Less than "a hours after his deciara-
ton that Chile needed stronger
government to counteract the spread
of bolshevism, Gen. Carlos lbanez
has been installed as the head of
new cabinet and his ministers
sworn in
Whether the Chilean President,
Emilio Figueroa Larrain. viii re-
main in office was matter of doubt
this morning, the executive not hav-
ing made a definite announcement
of his intentions. Gen. Ibanez. war
minister i'm the cabinet that re-
signed yesterday, and who was re-
sponsible for the resignation of the
cabinet last November, has urged the
President to remain in office and
similar advice has been given by
the heads of the Senate and
Chamber.
Would Assume Office.
Should the President decide to re-
sign. peculiar governmental stu
alton will be brought about. There
is no vice president in Chile; IL the
presidency is vacated, therefore. the
chief of cabinet automatically as
sumes the title OF vice president and
takes over the full duties of chief
executive.
The statement OF Gen. Ibanez which
brought about the resignation of the
ministry, contains the charge that the
suread OF bolshevism, facilitated by
weak government, had carried the
country to 'deplorable extremes" He
amplifled this by remarking, Mos
cows influence in Chile must be
broken. and the way to do it Is to
reorganize the government by the in
lection of younger blood" When he
agreed to form a new administration
he emphasized that he would seek to
settle the bolshevism problem in Chile
once for all.
Sworn i'm Last Night.
The new ministry, which was sworn
in last night, is as follows:
Premier and minister of interior
Gen. Ibanez.
Minister of foreign affairs--Conrado
Rios Gallardo, Liberal, a newspaper
writer.
F'inance-Pablo Ramirez, Radical.
former minister of education and ex-
Deputy.
War-Gen. Ortiz Vega, inspector
general of the army.

ex- Deputy.

gestion heartily. IL we do not get
naval disarmament our expenses will
increase until in three or four years
they will reach at least $500, 900
annually for the Navy. With our
military expenses added. this will
place a burden of from $3.50. 100000 to
81 ,000, 100000 on the American tax
payers.
ut is imperative in the interest of
the taxpayer as well as world peace
to limit further world ornaments
My only regret is that the President
does not propose broader program
for the conference"
Senator Walsh, Democrat. of Massa-
chusetts, said, ANY movement that
brings about a reduction of the tre-
mendous cost and expense of main
tanning navies and armies should be
encouraged. But to be a real con-
tributing force to peace. disarmament
should be complete and not partial. .
Senator Gillette. Republican, of
Massachusetts. said. 1T was an adj
mirable message both in the sugges-
tion for a conference on the limitation
of cruisers and other naval
and also in the suggestion
that Europe must settle her own prob
lens on land armament"

The American Government Is most
anxious that concrete results In the
limitation of armament may be
achieved. The discussions Of the pre-
paratory commission have emphasized
the fact that q number of govern
ments consider that one of the chief
present obstacles to the general reduc-
ton and limitation of ornaments lies
in the interdependence of land, sea
and air ornaments, and in the conse-
quent impossibility of reducing or
limiting one of these categories with
out dealing simultaneously with the
others. On the other hand, the. dis
cussions have demonstrated even more
emphatically that, should all effort

Something of the general interest
that has existed in the capture OF
the fiendish murderer OF little
Marian Parker was Indicated by the
people Of Douglas yesterday after
noon when news boys carrying the
Dispatch started racing through the
streets crying "extra, extra" Papers
were snatched up quickly, as every
body had been wondering all day if
the man hunt had been successful,
all wishing that it had.
The result of this keen interest
here brought the largest sale of an
extra issue that has been made for
many months and when the supply
had been exhausted there was a
continued demand from those who
had not seen the printed page but
had heard only from friends that the
law had won the race. Even children
in their teens stopped to discuss the
news Two boys met near the Grand
theater on G avenue One said to
the other, ''They caught Hickman .
The other replied, "Where?' and the
other lad, apparently had been read
ing the story, proceeded to relate the
details of the capture with detailed
accuracy When the other boy had
heard the story he remarked, Gee
that must be mean guy to Go
what ne did" and the bows separated.
The rapidity with which news is
handled by the Associated Press was
once more eXemplified in this in
stance The story was on the wire
and carried to Los Angeles and other
parts OF the country in very short
period-so short, in fact. that private
communication was outstripped as the
Los Angeles police department got
its first flash Of the capture from
the Associated Press as did police
departments from many other places
in the country where the Officers
were on the alert for any hint that
the fiend wanted might have appear
ed in their bailWick This included
Douglas where the Dispatch wires
brought the police news.
In the comment among the peoplo
generally, after the news was csr-
clilated, there was 2 quite general
