Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, July lO-All rights of
way having been obtained through pur-
chase and condemnation proceedings,
bids for bridge over the Hyattsvllle
railroad crossing on the Washington
Baltimore boulevard will be asked short
ly according TO John NJ Mackall, chair
man of the State Roads Commission.
The plans, which call for an eXpendi-
ture Of s250000, half of which will be
paid by the Baltimore e Ohio Railroad
Co, have already been approved by the
railroad and work is expected to be
started this Summer. The approach to
the bridge, which will carry the road
over the railroad tracks, will start about
1000 feet south of the present crossing
and connect with the boulevard about
300 feet to the north Under the plans
as approved the bridge will cross the
tracks at right angle and will be con-
nected with the present boulevard by
the construction of several hundred
feet of roadway on either side
Road to Enter District.
At the same time plans are now being
worked cut by the State Roads Com
mission to build new road from the
north side of the bridge. paralleling the
tracks, to connect with Rhode Island
avenue. thus providing another and
more direct entrance into the District Of
Columbia. This will cost Sl50,000 and
calls for the construction of roadway
mile and half long to connect with
Rhode Island avenue at the District
line. Rights of way for this improve
ment are now being negotiated and it
Is expected to be completed shortly
There will be no interruption Of traf-
f1c on the boulevard while the work Of
building the bridge at Hyattsville is I'M
der way and it is expected the bridge
will be completed and opened for trafic
in about year
Mackall said the widening OF IA
miles on the Defense Highway from
Camp Parole to Annapolis, 2 feet being
added on each side. making 1t 20-foot
road is all that is contemplated for this
year. He refused to say If any more of
the road is expected to be widened next
year.
Blames Capital Motorists.
Mackall reiterated his statement made
several months ago that the number of
accidents on the Defense Highway Is
not due to the narrowness Of the road,
which is Is and in some sections 16 feet
wide. but that reckless driving is en-
tirely responsible.

practically all of it. is zone by Washing
ton motorists" he declared. Accord
ing to a check Washington motorists
constitute only 90 per cent Of the trafic
on Defense Highway and yet figure in
IS per cent of the accidents.
with only ordinary care In driving
there is no reason why there should be
any more accidents on the Defense
Highway than on the Washington Bal
tin1ore Boulevard. which carries at least
four times the trafic and is only 4 or 5
feet wider. The difference is that the
Defense Highway passes through q
sparsely settled part Of the State and
the incentive to reckless driving Is more
than on the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard"

OFFICER DETAILED
TO PROBE MYSTERY
Park Employe Alleges Accidental
Injury While Being Driven From
Jail to Courthouse.

In an effort to clear up the mystery
surrounding the injury suffered by Will
liam Davis, a park employe, of the 1900
block Nicholson street southeast, United
States Marshal Edgar c. Snyder has
requested a police investigation and
Headquarters Detective Arthur T.
Figelly has been assigned to the case.
Davis was arrested on December / by
Deputy Marshal Elmer j. Graves for
failure to pay his alimony and was
taken to the marshal's Office in an auto
mobile operated by an attorney for
Davis wife.
From the marShal's Office Davis was
taken directly to the jail, where he was
held until Tuesday morning when his
father paid the back alimony. At that
time he was called for by an automo-
bile from the marshals Office and taken
back to the courthouse, where he was
released.
Twenty-four hours later he was taken
to Casualty Hospital and found to have
what physicians think is fracture of
the skull. When questioned, he said
he was injured at the time of his ar
rest when the automobile in which he
was Demg TAKEN 10 LLe COuI CLAOuSe
struck depression in the street as they
neared the courthouse.
Graves, who was sitting beside him on
the rear seat of the car during the ride,
and who is a much taller man than
Davis, said that he was not aware Of
the accident and thinks his head would
have struck the top of the car If Davis
story was correct.
Efforts are now being made to trace
Davis movements from the time of his
release until his arrival at the hospital.

BY the Associated Press.
A tax refund of s989.833 has been
given by the Treasury to Senator
Couzens, Republican, Michigan, from
whom it had sought tc collect an addi-
tional assessment of $4,000, 600.
The fund follows failure Of the Gov
ernment's attempt of three years ago
to levy additional assessments amount
ing to almost $33,O00,0OO against the

stock
Senator CouzenS was the principal
defendant in the Governments action.
which followed closely the dispute in
which Couzens engaged Secretary Mel
lon over administration of the Treas
ury. The suit was to collect taxes, ad-
ditional to those paid.
Reiterates Mismanagement Charge.
In connection with the refund. Sena-
tor Couzens said:
This is a concrete piece of evidence
Of mismanagement of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue under the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury since Hamil-
tons time. If Congress were able to
compute the entire losses to the Gov
ernment under such management. it
would be found to have run into the
hundreds of millions.
1T is this power in the Treasury De-
partment to punish any one who dis
agrees with it which has intimidated
thousands of taxpayers who otherwise
would feel free to criticize"
Senator CouzenS still has pending a
resolution proposing that the Senate
ask for the resignation of Secretary
Mellon on the grounds of nliSmanage-
ment.
The Treasury lost before the Board
of Tax Appeals when it sought to COL
lect the additional tax from Senator
Couzens and the other Ford stockholders
Paid $7,OOO,OOO on Profits.
The board ruled that the Govern
ment owed Senator CouzenS and the
other stockholders refund on the in
come tax paid by them from the sale
of the Ford stock in 1919 instead of the
stockholders owing the Government.
Senator Couzens paid into the Treas
ury between $7,000,000 and $8.000,000
income tax in 1920 on profits he had
made from the sale of the Ford stock
in 1919. His dispute with the Treas
ury was over the value of the Ford
stock as Of 1913, and it was finally
held that the Senator had overvalued
the stock rather than having under
estimated it.
The Senator understood that the re-
fund check would be received today By
his son in Detroit.
