RED CROSS URGES AID IN DISASTER
 THAT |S EPOCHA[
HUMAN SUFFERING REACHES CLIMAX AS STORM LEAVES
 DEVASTATION

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, The latest information from Porto Rico indicates the seriousness of condi- tions there were not overestimatcd previously.
 Red Cross workers are encount- Iering suffering such as has been unknown in the United States even in the major disasters. With huts gone, banana trees stripped, coffee Iplants ruined and sugar cane flat, 500,00O people are in, literally speaking, destitute condition and entirely dependent upon the Red Cross for the necessities of life.
 All available trucks have been ipressed into service carrying sup plies; 150 tons of food, 700 cots, and B 300 blankets were sent to the in- Iterior from San Juan Wednesday to Icare for the increasing serious s;t- uation
 About 10000 people are sick With influenza, typhoid and malaria and the Red Cross is instituting a draS- tic health sanitation program with cooperation from Government agencies for immediate aid to and repair of municipal hospitals and emergency hospitals established where none existed. Also, dispen- caries have been established thru out the area to care for minor in iuries and sickness.
 The health problems constitute grave responsibility and the Red Cross has a big task to control the situation. Ten Red Cross nurses left New York for Porto Rico on Friday. The Red Cross is prepared l to send 50 more and IS doctors in l the event the situation demands them.

NEW TAX RECORD
IN DISTRICT SEEN
October Collections Will Ex-
ceed S7,7O0,000 if Present
Rate Continues.

Tax collections in the District during
October indicate a new record will be
set, according to Tax Collector Chatham
Towers.
According to Towers figures, $7,513,-
1883 has been collected in the first
25 days of the month, and if collections
continue at the present rate the COL
lectlons will exceed $7.700,000. The
previous record collection was in Oc-
tober, 1927, when $7,27o,86048 passed
through the busy cashiers cages in the
Office
September was also the best Septem-
Der in history, $4,356, ,434.44 being taken.
On the basis of the present collec-
tions, Mr. Towers estimates that the
tax collections for the current fiscal
year will probably exceed $34,000,000.
The collections during the fiscal year
ended June 80 amounted to $32,512,-
871.97.
The substantial majority of the taxes
come in from the levy on real and per-
sonal property, which is taxed at a
rate of Sl.70 per $100 assessed value.
The assessed value is supposed to rep
resent 100 per cent of the sale value.
october is busy month for the tax
collectors because the first inStallment
of the real estate taxes must be paid
by September 80. Every year thousands
of taxpayers send in their money at
the last moment, and although the
money is physically present in the tax
collectors Office, it cannot be credited
on the ledgers until october is several

CANADIAN WORKER
GRANTED INJUNCTION

Justice Peyton Gordon of the Dis
trict Supreme Court yesterday signed a
temporary injunction against James j.
Davis, Secretary of Labor. and Harry
E. Hull, commissioner general of immi-
grafton, restraining them from denying
entry into the United States of John
Graber, resident of Niagara Falls
Ontario, who is employed on the Amer
lean side of the border. The officials,
relying on General Order No. Sc, which
defines persons living in Canada and
committing to work across the border
as immigrants. had refused to allow
CARRIER to cross the international bridge.
While the injunction applies only to
CARRIER, it is stated by Attorneys Ring
& Cobb, representing the petitioner,
that it is test case on which depends
several hundred cases involving other
workmen who have been excluded by
the general order, although the Circuit
Court of Appeals held the order invalid
and the United States Supreme Court
refused to review the decision.
