TAX BOARD ASSESSES
VANDERBILT ESTATE

On the ground that the late Regi-
nald C. Vanderbilt, in operating his
Sandy Point, r. L., stock farm, was not
engaged in farming as a business, the
Board of Tax Appeals yesterday or
dered his estate to pay an additional
tax of 1900 for the years 1919 to
1921.
In filing his income tax return Mr..
Vanderbilt claimed losses on the prop
erty, but the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue declined to allow a reduction
for such losses, and the Appeals
Board upheld the ruling, de-
claring the Sandy Point expenditure
should be regarded as entirely a per-
sonal matter.
Commissioner Hagen dissented from
the ruling, holding that he could not
agree that the operation of the farm
was not a business, and two other
commissioners joined in approving his
dissent

SOCIETY ENDORSES
SAVING OF WOODS
Wild Flower Group Would
Preserve Tract Along Rock
Creek Branch.

A resolution to seek the preserva-
ton of the tract of woods along the
branch of Rock Creek south of Tilden
street and the Bureau of Standards to
serve as a future parkway in the Dis
trict was unanimously adopted at the
annual meeting of the Washington
CHAPTER of the National Wild Flower
Preservation Society in the National
Museum last night. 1t was voted to
seek the cooperation of the National
CAPITAL Park and Planning Commits
sion and the Commission of Fine Arts
to that end. Election of officers also
was held.
The woods preservation was brought
to the attention of the local chapter
members by Dr. Edgar T. Wherry,
president. who declared there are
many trees in the tract more than 200
years old in addition to numerous
wild flowers the society seeks to pre-
serve He emphasized also that the
woods now serve as a playground for
hundreds of children, and should be
saved for future generations.
All Officers Reelected.
All of the officers for the past year
were unanimously reelected, the sec"
rotary and treasurer being instructed
to cast the vote for the society fThe
officers are DIR. Wherry, president:
.Alvah Godding, vice president, and z.
/. Kicker, secretary and treasurer.
Mr. Kicker reported that the prin-
cipal work done by the society during
the past year was teaching the chill
dren of the public schools about the
wild flowers in this country through
the cooperation of nature-Study teach
ers in the schools.
The object of this work, he said, is
TO acquaint the children with the wild
flowers, so they will love and protect
them, as we'll as to teach the boys and
girls which of the flowers grow in
abundance and which do not, so they
may know which ones to pick.
Give Flower Talks.
DR.. Wherry gave a brief account of
a peculiar plant found growing in the
Potomac River near Alexandra DUR
ing the past year. He stated it grows
in great abundance during the warm
months and produces nut similar to
a nut grown on a plant in Chinese
rivers.
Brief addresses were delivered at
the meeting by the following: Mr..
Godding, the vice president, who told
of wild flowers and scenery he viewed
while on a trip in New England last
Summer; Miss Katharine II. Stuart,
who described several kinds of flowers
and deplored the fact that rhododen-
drons, which grow in abundance in
sections of Virginia, are being rapidly
destroyed and sold each year, and by
G. A. Gambs, who described numerous
flowers that grow in Norway. He
named, among others, the ranunculus
glaciolis, q flower with a kind of pur-
pIe bloom that shoots up through the
snow. and sometimes grows in alti-
tudes of $4,000 feet above sea level.
The local chapter of the National
Wild Flower Preservation Society was
organized in April, 1918, and now has
about $50 members, it is stated.

FIVE face JAIL
|. IN CONTEMPT

Having at one time or another
defied the authority of the Senate
five well-known men appeared head
ed toward punishment today as a
result of the Supreme Courts de-
cision upholding the power Of con.
gressional committees to compel at.
tendance of witnesses at their in
designations.
The list Of men. threatened with
prison sentences under contempt
proceedings. includes Samuel insult,
northumberland head Of Illinois pub
lie utilities: Robert e. Grove. States
attorney OF Chicago; Harry r. Sin.
clair, northumberland oil man;
Thomas r. Cunningham, clerk Of
the quarter session court of Phila-
delphia. and Nal s. Daugherty,
brother OF the former Attorney
General.
In the opinion Of the Senate's
constitutional authorities, the de-
cision, while made directly upon
the case of Nal Daugherty. had
even greater effect on the con-
tempt case, against Sinclair, now
pending in the District Of Columbia
Supreme Court.
The decision, according to Sena-
tor Walsh (D.) Of Montana. virtually
blocks every avenue by which Sin
clair might escape a jail term on
the pending contempt charge.
Contempt citations will be made
to the Senate against insult, Grove
and Cunningham in the near fu-
tufe. Senator Reed D.) Of Missouri
