Expert Air Mail Privilege.
Washingtonians who are making
an earnest effort to smooth over diff
ferences that have arisen over the
airport questiuu believe the Army will
grant permission for mail planes to
land at Boiling Field for a temporary
period, at any rate, as it has done for
two years in the case of the air mail
at Quincy Field, the Army Field in
San Francisco. Erection of hangar
at the expense of the District, it is
believed, would remove the chief OBJ
lection now held by War Department
officials to the temporary use of Boil
ing Field. It was pointed out that
San Francisco did this.
Meanwhile, Assistant Postmaster
General Warren I. Glover let it be
known that tentative schedule Is
being drawn up with Baltimore as the
stopping point on the New York-At-
lanta air mail route. He already has
given warning that unless an early
agreement is reached with regard
to an airport site he will entrain air
mail here for Baltimore.
Anxious to avoid further disagree
ment, Chamber Of Commerce officials
are doing their utmost to iron out diff
ferences and meet the situation
squarely by showing that the public

MRS. A. CHESLEY
KILLED BY FALL
Husband Finds Her Body at
Foot of Stairs in Their
Home.

Mrs. Zaluma Archer Chesley, al
years old, of 1749 Kilhourne place. was
killed in a fall downstairs in her home
yesterday afternoon.
John T. Chesley, her husband. a
real estate agent, found the PROSTATE
form of his wife on the landing at
the foot of the steps about $50 o'clock
when he returned after a velour
absence.
A pitcher used for ice water was
near by, and it is believed she fell
when descending the stairs for ice
water.
Mr.. Chesley applied ice packs to
his wife's head and summoned DR..
Frank S. Mason of 1907 Seventeenth
street. When DR.. Mason arrived he
pronounced Mrs. Chesley dead, stat
ing that death evidently had occurred
some time previous to his ar
rival. She had struck her head in
falling.
Deputy Coroner Joseph D. Rogers
examined the body and issued a GER
tificate of accidental death.
Mrs. Chesley resided in Washing
ton for the greater part Of her life.
Funeral arrangements have not beer

we'll as service planes without inter
ference to either. Boiling Field at
present, it was said, is ideally stu
ated with regard to Giesboro Point
to make this practicable as well as
inexpensive.
From a health point of view, it has
long been held desirable in Army avia-
ton circles to get rid of the rat
infested barracks on Boiling Field and
move the officers quarters to the
higher ground bordering the steel
plant at Giesboro Point. At present
there are no housing facilities at the
field for non-commissioned officers,
who are compelled to quarter them
selves elsewhere.
BY granting the air mail the use Of
one OF the hangers at Boiling Field at
the present time, 1t was said, the re-
moval to Giesboro Point could be un-
dertaken gradually without any inter-
ference to military operations on the
aviation site. Meanwhile, as the

PLAN DRIVE TO GET
BOOTLEGGERS' TAX
Revenue Agents to Search
Out Liquor Dealers to
Assess Incomes.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A renewed effort on the part OF in
ternal revenue collectors to ferret out
bootleggers to impose taxes on their
income is expected by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue as the result of a
Treasury announcement yesterday
calling attention to a recent ruling OF
the Supreme Court on the right to tax
such persons.
The court held that gain resulting
from illegal traffic in liqour was sub
ject to income tax, and the protection
against standardization afforded by
the Constitution was not infringed by
the requirement of return for Income
derived from crime"
The bootlegging or run-running tax
payer may claim immunity from an
swerilg in det~il questions as to source
of income on the return, but this claim
will be passed upon by the Govern
ment. 1t is pointed out that several
broa classif1cations of source of in
come would permit of evasion of di
rect statement of the manner In which
the income was obtained.
A substantial increase in tax col
lections is anticipated as a result Oh
the courts decision. The special in
telligence service of the Revenue Blu
reau will make every effort to locate
dealers in liquor. This service for
