draft OF bill approved today by the
District Commissioners. The measure
will be sent 10 Congress with request
for its introduction and enactment.
The bin would change the month for
filing personal property returns from
March as at present TO July and the
assessment would be levied on the value

taxes on motor vehicles, however, would
run with the calendar year and under
the terms OF the bill they would have

would be prorated from and including
the month in which the vehicle is
acquired

While the tax~paying months OF
March and September would not be
changed the month for fling returns
was advanced from March To July be-
cause OF confusion that has resulted
under the present system when returns
are made three months In advance of
the beginning OF the tax year.
In addition To the powers now pos
sessed by the assessor, the bill Is drawn
TO give him authority 10 inspect tangible
property. wherever situated, except In
dwellings and private homes. and To ex-
anime books papers records or mem
oranda or any taxpayer relating to any
matter required TO be included In re-
turn of tangible or intangible property

He also would have the power to issue
q summons for such purposes. and the

that court,

Those who make brew in their homes for their own use, while committing an ille- gal act according to MT. Whitney, are not subject to visitation by the Federal agencies. Not until they seek to commercialize their pro- ducts, not unless there is evidence of sale, can the Federal agents legally enter for search and seizure.
 This is an anomalous situation, i MT. Whitney declared. But Con- gress undoubtedly realized the ef- feet of the law when it limited agents in their searches to such homes as were used for places of sale. To have given agents the right to search all homes where there might have been reason to believe homebrew was being made would undoubtedly led to abuses of authority that would have mili- tated against the general enforce ment of more important sections of the prohibition law, he asserted.

Grape BELT OF
CALIFORNIA hit
CRUSHING BLOW
Demand for Crop in East Is
Far Below Call in
Recent Years.
BY MAX STERN
Times STAFF Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.-A
Something has kicked California'S
100000 grape industry with more
than a half-of -one-per-cent kick.
CALIFORNIA; vice-clad valleys and
hills are wont to furnish virtually
all of Americas supply of grape
juice. Last year $4,000 carloads of
table and wine grapes went over
the Rockies to fill the increased
demand of grape and grape juice
addicts in score of eastern cities.
This season the total will be only
$4,000 carloads. Vineyardists are
counting a 100000 loss. Wine
or Juice" grapes that last year
brought $45 a ton are bringing only
SOS; table and raisin grapes have
suffered a SO a ton drop.
The California Vineyardists' As
ISOLATION is trying to re-wet Amer
lean thirst with grape weeks. "

1t is urging pulling up of vines of
marginal producers" to cut 190.-
600 tons from the annual market.
Raisins. which take so per cent of
the states grape crop, are of
this year as a result of -produc-
ton. The slowness with which the
usually thirsty east is taking she
$4,000 carloads of wine grapes is the
subject of many explanations. Some
of these are:
Low buying power among the
foreign, particularly Latin, folks
who crush the family winter supply
Tor Juice" due it is said to too
much stock speculation.

The fact that CALIFORNIA; grape
crop was fortnight earlier and hit
the east during the hot weather.
The "gin habit" among the young
er set.
Heretofore prohibition has proved
blessing rather than curse to
California vintagers. The little
clause put into the Volstead act by
the brethren of the hard-cider belt
that permits the crushing of fruit

has saved millions invested in Cali
fornia vines.
1t is believed that this years
hard times will be only temporary
phase, and that grapes will do a
comeback next year.

POLICE Baked
AT EVERY TURN
IN DEATH CASE
Disappearance of ComeIy
Widow Likely to Be
UnSoIved Riddle.

By United Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 3O.-The
strange disappearance of Mrs.
Ella Mcdowell Rogers, 29-year-old
widow, from her fashionable apart
ment here last Oct. 7, may be listed
among Louisville's unsolved myster-
les.
Police admittedly were baffled to-
day as they traced down clew after
clew, vainly seeking some tangible
motive for the pretty young widows
disappearance.
Philip Haynes, Negro janitor of
the Darlington Manor apartments,
where Mrs. Rogers lived, still was
under arrest on an old charge, but
he stoutly denies any connection
with the enigma.
Mrs. Rogers last was seen by H.
K. Harmed, a young Dawson
Springs (Ky.) banker, who escorted
her to her suite on the night she
disappeared. Harmed left in taxi
cab and boarded a train for home.
Haynes was suspected when a pc
culiar gray substance was found
clinging to the CRATES and mixed
with ashes in the apartment fur
mace.
Physicians, after examining the
residue, said they believed it came
from human bones, but this must
be determined by City Chemist
Vernon Robins. who is returning to-
day from a trip.
On the night the young widow
dropped out of sight, she returned
from an out-of- town trip. Her bags
were found later, still unpacked.
Police turned their attention to
Haynes when it was revealed he had
been charged with molesting white
girls. The Negro denied the charge,
however.
Mrs. Rogers was the widow of
Hamilton Rogers, prosperous
young newspaper and business man,
who was killed in an automobile ac-
cident here in 1927.
She is described as extremely
comedy, an attractive dresser, and
the possessor of a wildly magnetic
personality.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-11-30

Following a hasty lunch, or too
hearty a dinner, a little "Pape's Dia-
pepsin," instantly neutralizes excess
acidity, stops that fermentation, and
soothes and heals the acidinfamed
stomach lining as if by magic. Your
recovery is quick, and complete. Make
a special point of getting 60-cent
package of "Pape's Diapepsin" from
your druggist today, and so follow
the example of millions all over the
world who use "Pape's Diapepsin" to
end indigestion and allied stomach
troubles.
With "Pape's Diapepsin" handy you
can eat and enjoy whatever you fancy
without fear of pain or discomfort to
follow. At any rate, it's worth the
trial, for lots of folks have found a
new freedom at the table.
