A game of tag between the
brothers in their home in the 1900
block of Trinidad Ave. n. E., led
to the tragedy.
While Theodore was chasing his
older brother up a flight of stairs,
he stumbled and fell backwards.
Both brothers were carrying air
rifles, but the older brother does
not know from which rifle the shot
came, he told police last night.
The sound of the discharge was
drowned by their footsteps as they
scurried up the stairs. Thinking
his brother had tainted, Charles
carried him into the kitchen. A
stream OF blood from Tehodore's
head was the first indication that
he was shot.

LORD DAINPE Ms
PAY BILL
HOPES

One of the reasons why promo
lions in the Federal departments
may be slow under the WEIGH act
was ineisively set forth by Gen,
Herbert NJ. Lord. Director of the
Budget. at the business meeting Of
the Government last night.
Last year by permitting vacancies
in the Federal service to remain
untitled wherever possible. he said.
s21. 573.436 was saved and the same
policy will be continued through
1929.
Policy Outlined
This means that even under the
working of the average clause in the
various grades 1t is possible for
departmental heads to refuse pro-
motions to the higher-salaried places.
although some of these places may
be vacant through designations.
transfers. etc.
Administrative officers are en-.
couraged to follow this policy
wherever possible, under the prin-
cipIes of the Federal Two Per Cent
Personnel Club. whose avowed pur-
pose is to save for the Treasury
per cent or more of the Congress
sional appropriations for Federal
salaries.
Damper Put On
1t is General Lords hope that at
beast $40, 000 900 will be Topped off
the salary appropriations for the
current year by this practice Of
permitting vacancies to remain un-
filled and OF retarding rgomotions
in the interests OF Federal economy.
The burget chief made no direct
comment upon the WEIGH law. but
lie made it clear that he wants
salary increases TO be held down to
a minimum.
In another three or four weeks
Federal employees will have an OPP
portunity TO see just how far the
Lord policy is to be carried out.

ID. C. Tax Rate to Stand
At $1.70, Is Report Now

The cheerful news that no in
crease in the District Of Columbia
tax rate for the next fiscal year
is likely comes from the office
of the District auditor, Major
Danile J. Donovan.
Assessed property valuation Of
the District the auditor says, is
$l,137, 1913, 1872 or an increase of
about $4,000, 900 over last year.
The present tax rate of $40 per
800 of assessed valuation. would
raise $40 1872 2S3 of revenue. which,
added to income from other sources
would meet the 1929 budget.
The auditor has completed a study
Of the hudcet and concludes that
$40 rate9tViIl, in all probability
meet all District needs.
