Charles r. GundlacEl, 77.year- old
Maryland farmer who was shot
down BY four agents who ATTEMPTED
to search his property without war
rants, win be demanded OF the next
Congress. II was learned today.
The charges that some 200 kill.
Ings have been recorded were aired
when II became known that leaders
numbering among them several
dry members BIZ Congress - are
indignant over the number of cases
wherein dry agents charged by
states with murder or Tnanslaugh
were virtually given Immunity by
the Federal courts which lifted the
cases out Of the jurisdiction OF the
states involved.
It will be further charged that
dry agents are encouraged in their
alleged re6kIessness with Firearms
and their alleged disregard OF proper
methods Of pursuing their duty by
the laxity Of the Federal courts ii

county, is in favor OF sterilization
of parents suffering from certain

Judge Atkinson, an attractive wo-
man Of IS years, is at the Willard
Hotel, passing through washington
on her way to join her husband,
Chief Judge Henry f. Atkinson, Of
the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Florida.
Declaring that juvenile delinquency
was attributable more to the parents
than any other one cause, Judge
Atkinson said she believed more
training for parenthood would aid
presentday problems in the handling
Of minors.
Judge Atkinson is cognizant Of
the situation here between Judge

The annual report Of Tax Assessor
william r. Richards. showing an In.
crease Of nearly two million dollars
in revenue for 1927 and containing
recommendation for sweeping
changes In the method Of operation
Of that office. was submitted to the
District Commissioners today.
The total assessments for 1927
were ss4s, Az. as against $780,.
1882 in 1926. Al 1927 tax rate
Of $1.s0 per hundred as against
$40 IN 1925 brought the revenue
increase Of $1,721 .s67.
The tax rate for 1928 has been
reduced to $1.70 per hundred but
the assessment has been increased

bills. both personal and real, and
would further show at a glance the
exact status Of an account against
each individual holding q lot or

The ledger changes could be e.
fectiye, Richards believes. without
undue expense. The introduction
OF the addressograph system, how
ever, would require several years
and could be perfected only at ii
considerable cost.
Both the tax assessor and Com
missioner sydney r. Talliaferro,
believe that the adoption Of such
a system is rapidly becoming essen

ing business Of the tax office.
Under the proposed system dupIi-
