WARD s ESTATE
IS PUZZLE

II one year after the death of an
INDECENT patient at St Elizabeth's
Hospital. an estate. hitherto un-
known, is discovered should that es-
tate go to the heirs or to the Dis
trict to reimburse IL for expenses?
This question was raised today
by Attorney II. w Sohon, who re-
ported TO Major Daniel J. Donovan,
District auditor that he had found
an estate of 1000 due a woman
who died at the hospital one year
ago after more than 20 years there.
The estate in question, originally
about 500. was unknown to the
courts when the woman was com
mitted many years ago. Only re-
Gently two heirs of the woman
learned of the estate.
The case has been referred to the
corporation counsel for an opinion.
Up to July 1, the District paid $1.65
a day for its , ,193 wards at the hos
pital. Since that time the cost has
been 1872 per day.
Last year the District collected
from estates of the INDECENT about
$62 900 but paid for their mainten-
ance at the hospital 81 ,450, 900. The
present high daily rate includes
maintenance and upkeep of build
ings and grounds as well as room
and board.

GIRL

If Miss Elizabeth Heiser,
American University student,
is the private Ineffective" to
whom he was referring when
he wrote a letter to a New
York newspaper criticising the
activities Of the detective, she
must prove it before she can
collect the $780, 900 in libel dam
ages for which she is suing.
That is the answer filed with
the District supreme Court BY Col.
Horace Mann. southern division
manager Of the Republican Ma
tionaI Committee, in reply to Miss
Heiser's suit.
Never Met Her
Mann declared that he had never
met the person to whom he re
ferred in his letter to the paper
and did not know who she was.
He declared that his letter was
privileged in that it was an answer
to an article and an editorial pub
1ished by the paper accusing an
attache in Mann's office Of disim-
mating Ku KIux Khan literature
attacking Governor Smiths re-
ligion.
Mann said his letter to the New
York paper was describing the &C
tfvities Of d female detective" who
said she was Mrs. Yonkers, Of South
Dakota, and IL Miss Heiser is that
person she must make her identity
known.
Public Contempt
Through Attorneys Holland and
Strong, Mann denied the truth Of all
the statements in the newspaper ar
ticIes and said that they not only
held him up to public scorn, ridicule
and contempt in the city where he

claims. as the one who obtained the
voluntary confession from Carl
Panzram on the number and the ex-
tent OF his child killings, including
that of the Mcmahon boy. would APP
pear to be good.
The matter will come up for final
settlement in the Salem city council
next week. A captain of the Massa-
chusetts state police and a detective
are expected to arrive here today
from the city to arrange for the ex-
tradition of Panzram from the Dis
trict to Salem.
Inasmuch as Panzram has con-
fessed to many murderous attacks

pected he will interpose any oppo-
sition to his removal to Massachu-

The House of Bishops of the

&c the Willard Hotel.
The action was reaffirma ton
of a stand taken on this question
at the last trienniaI convention m

Opposition to the resolution de-
VeIoped in the social service COM
mittee. TO which the measure had
been referred after its original in
PRODUCTION in the House of Bishops.

resolution back to the bishops to-
day, asked that it be tabled.
Bishop Greene Leads
Coadiutor Bishop Greene. of Mis-
.sissippi, appeared as the leading
champion of the resolution before
TIE DlSnOl1S.
He declared that If the eonven-
ton declined to reaffirm its 1925
etnad, the action would be generally
construed as an inclination on the
part of the bishops to back
water" on their original expression.
He further stated that the resolu-
ton contained no political and per-
eonaf reference, nor could ii be
understood to have any political
complexion.
The committee on social service
submitted the opinion that the 1925
resolution was adopted at a time
when there was no national political
campaign before the people, ami
feared that action on the measure
would inject politics into the con
Vention
Bishop William T. Manning. of
New York. also declared against
tsbling the resolution and asked It's
adoption.

AUTO OWNERS
DODGE TAXES

Failure of automobile owners here
to file a personal property tax re-
turn will cost the District more than
$4,000 this year, it was estimated
at the Office Of William, P. Richards,
tax assessor.
The tax assessor has in his pos
session list of automobile owners
who have failed to make their re-
turn, and bills against such owners
are now being prepared. They will
be assessed a penalty of 20 per cent
because of their failure.
Many of these bills will never be
collected. but the majority will. else
cars will be seized on which taxes
have not been paid.
The tax assessor will again seek
passage by Congress of a bill now
pending, which would require auto
mobile owners to pay their taxes be-
fore license tags are issued. The
Bureau of Efficiency also approves
of this legislation.
