FACES WALsKA

Gamma WaIska, wife Of Harold F..
Mccormack, faces payment Of more
than 81 ,0O0, 900 in customs duty II
she brings into the United States
the clothing and jewelry held by the
customs authorities in New York.
This was revealed at q hearing
before Customs Commissioner +. W.
Camp today, when the opera singer,
who claims Paris as her residence,
appealed to the Treasury Depart
ment for release Of her property.
She was represented by Attorney II.
D. BulkIey. OF New York.
The point at Issue is whether
Madame Walska can hold residence
legally in France when her hus-
band is a resident American.
Bulkley said the singers residence
should be held as in Paris deci-
sion that would relieve her from
payment of duty az a non.resident--
on the fact that Madame WufskA
had never resided in the United
States. had visited here but twice
since her marriage to Mccormick, in
1922; and that she had no intentions
OF residing in the United States.
On the jewe1ry Madame Walska
would be required to pay 80 per cent
duty, on the lace trjmmed articles
80 per cent and on other clothing
from 60 to Is per cent. Some OF
the property originated In the United
States and therefore is not dutiable.

AFTER RlETQUR
VIOLATIONS

Motorists caught in the wholesale
roundup Of detour sign violators at
Massachusetts, Avenue and Third
Street Northwest last night will not
have to pay a fine, Judge Isaac x.
Hit ruled in Traffic Court today.
After hearing the test case against
Lawrence J. Mills, jr., Of the 1000
block Of Eleventh St. n. E., Judge
Hit decided that there was no evil
dence to-~show that the police had
laid a trap" to catch motorists, and
apparently they did everything
within their power to handle an in
Yolved situation.
Warns Other Drivers
He found Mills guilty and took
his personal bond. Judge Hit said
that all the other motorists given
tickets for passing the detour sign
should come into court and have
their personal bond taken.
After hearing the case against
Mills. Judge Hit dismissed a sim
liar charge against Douglas W.
winters. Of the SOC block of Sixth
st. N. e. Winters said he was
watching children playing In the
street and did not have an op2or-
tunity to see the sign.
Charles c, Collins, attocnsy for
the A. A. A., appeared for both
MOTORISTS. Collins declared that the
police had set q trap purely for
the purpose Of obtaining fines and Of
making records for themselves.
Sees Roadside" Justice
'Tf thesa fnen are convicted. It
will be comparable to justice handed
out in the old roadside court" Col
lins said.
Collins condemned the police for
GLOWING motorists to pass the sign
and then placing them under arrest.
Tickets were given to approxi.
mafely 1e0 motorists for passing
the detour sign last night. Charges
against men were filed in Traffic
Court today. Many Of those charged
left court before their cases were
called. thereby forfeiting their col.
lateral. Judge Hit said they could
get their money back IL they re-
appeared in court.

Police are of the opinion that
the lob was done by two semi,
professional safe crackers. This
theory is borne out by the fact
that the thugs pried the safe open
at a. part of the door that is not re-
enforced by double steel plates. That
they were not thoroughly expert
enced is shown by the crude job
they did. The safe was practically
battered beyond repair, with hinges,
dials and handle knocked off.
According to the police the thugs
gained access to the garage through

reached from the roof OF an ad-
