MUCH DAMAGED

UNION TROUBLE BLAMED
Man Arrested COnfesses He

'Wrecking Crew
UNION TROUBLE BLAMED

Kansas City. March 19.-(AP)-
A score or more of north side resi-
dents are nursing minor injuries re-
ceived when an explosion last night
wrecked a three-story brick store
house and damaged buildings over a
large area.
While doors were blown from
hinges in nearby homes and windows
broken for q radius Of more than
two blocks, no one was seriously in
Jured. Eight persons received treat
ments by ambulance surgeons and
many exhibited cuts from glass.
Police were informed by terrified
residents of the district that two men
were seen leaving the building short
" before the explosion. It was the
latest of series Of explosions which
damaged homes and office buildings
and followed within 48 hours a con-
fession from a former convict that
he had been hired to lead q "wreck-
ing crew" to force employment Of
union labor.
The building, in the 500 block Of
Holmes street, was used as q store
house by Mike Messino, proprietor
Of an adjoining hotel of that name.
Messina and five members of his
family were in the living room of
their home when the blast occurred.
All were hurled to the floor and suf-
fercd slight injuries. He professcd
ignorance of any possible motive
that may have led to a bombing.
Explosions in. various parts Of the
city over period Of several months
have damaged buildings. While
some Of the blasts were attributed
to gas leaks, discovery Of burned
fuses and other evidences Of bombs
having been used led to an extensive
investigation.
In a roundup of suspects, William
A. Faust, AZ, former business agent
OF local teamsters' union, was ar
rested and in q signed statement
told police he had been paid $3.50 4
week by local labor official TO head
a "wrecking crew." Faust said he
quarreled with the official over pay
that was withheld.
Faust said he had served two
penitentiary terms, one in San Quen-
TIN prison, for assault with intent to
kill.
The storehouse was completely de-
stroyed. Damage was estimated at
more than $4,000, part of which
represented goods reported stolen
from stores before police lines
formed to prevent lootinr.

Washington, March 19.-(AP)-
Speculation as to a hitherto un-

REVIEW IS ASKED
| IN TAX TEST CASE
local Utilities Want Supreme
( Court to Pass on d Per
Cent Levy.

The Potomac Electric Power Co. and
the washington Railway and Electric
Co. late yesterday asked the Supreme
Court to review two cases which they
Sought to bring against the District
Commissioners to test out the 4 per
cent tax for 1925 and 1925, imposed on
that portion of their income which was
derived from other sources than the op-
Grafton of street railways and furnishing
electric lighting.
They insisted that other forms Of in
come previously had paid all lawful
taxes and could not again be taxed as
part Of their income. It was said that
about $4,000 is involved.
In their petition seeking to have the
case reviewed, the companies state that
prior to 1926 no attempt was ever made
by the District to collect from either
the Potomac Electric Power Co. or the
Washington Railway g. Electric GO.
the per cent tax on any portion OF
their income other than that assessed
on the gross receipts from the operation
of their respective properties as street
railway company and as an electric
light and power company. In that year
an assessment was made by the Dlstrlct
assessor on the incomes of both COM
panies received from all other sources
during 1925 and 1926 and which. ac-
cording to the companies, included the
following:
On the income which the Washington
Railway & Electric Co., received as
dividends on the stock held by 1t In
the Potomac Electric Power Co. and
which latter company had paid tax
upon its gross earnings; rent OF equip
raent and furnishing power to related
utilities, rent of buildings and other
property from related utilities upon
which a real estate tax was paid, FUR
nishing power to unrelated utilities, use
Of equipment by unrelated utilities, use
of tracks by unrelated utilities, rent OF
buildings from unrelated utilities upon
which a real estate tax was paid, money
found in cars, interest from bonds and
notes by subsidiary companies and in
terest and dividends from investments,
all of which income, so far as received
from other utilities, whether related or
unrelated, was from companies which
had already paid the 4 per cent on their
gross earnings derived from such
leased properties.
When the move was made to collect
these taxes upon items not previously
assessed, the court Is told that steps
were taken to file amicable< suits to
test the legality of assessing these addi-
tional items.
The companies contend in their petit
tion for review that the Court OF APP
peals has misconstrued and misapplied
certain acts of Congress. After out
