CITY HELD FREED
Of SLOT MACHINES
Attention Being Centered on
Liquor Law vioIators and
Other Offenders.

United States AttorneysLeo A. Rover
was in conference today for more than
a hour with Henry c. Pratt, major and
superintendent of police, and received
from Maj. Pratt a report that the local
merchants had co-operated with the
police in Kidding the city Of slot ma
chimes, following the direction of Rover
for the removal of all such vending
machines.
Justice Peyton Gordan held the
operation Of such machines illegal when
he denied an application of David White
of Baltimore. owner of the machines,
for an injunction to prevent certain
ported that he believed all such ma
chimes had been removed.
The two officials also discussed the
question of further paddock proceedings
against places where the liquor law is
said to be violated, and for the wider
use of padlocks in cases of disorderly
houses. The gambling situation gen.
orally also figured in the conference.
Disposition Of Cases.
As to the liquor cases submitted by
the police to the United States attor-
ney'S Office, Rover said, some will be
returned to the Police Department for
further evidence. suits temporary for
paddock injunctionS have been filed in
other cases, and in most of the remain
ing cases the owners of the properties
have disposed Of the alleged offending
tenants.
Referring to the alleged Kenyon law
rtnln vr,I1o
Rover pointed out that a paddock was
placed yesterday on the home of Mary
c. Adams on First street, closing the
place for one year. The tenant is now
serving a sentence, he said, of four
months in the District Jail for con-
tempt of court in violating the tenn
porary injunction issued against the
use of the property for disorderly pur-
poses.
Arrested yesterday in the slot ma
chine war, Edward F. Kelly, proprietor
Of cigar store in the HOO block of

permitting gaming in Police Court to-
| day. Kelly was taken into custody

required to deposit $100 as security
he was allowed to recover SIS today on
the recommendation of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Joseph C. Bruce. Ac-
cording to Bruce, the forfeiture was
as great a penalty as merited by the
offenSe.
In addition to the seizure of the
slot machines in Kelly's store, police
of the third precinct reported the SeiZ-
ure of two other machines yesterday
afternoon. They we're in business places
in the $500 block of M street.

police reported, and, following the in
structions of Assistant District Attorney
Bruce, they contended themselves with
the seizures. Owners of the stores were
not arrested.

tinued their search for the alleged gam
bling machines today. Places OF busi-
ness where such machines had been In

BOMBING PLANE
TO SHOW ATTACK
Craft Will Try Flight From
Dayton to New York and
Back, Without Landing.

The ability of the great lotion
standard Army bombing plane of today
to fly great distances, carrying full
loads of bombs, drop the explosives on
a distant target and return. without
landing, will be demonstrated by the
Army Air Corps next month N con-
nection with Spring maneuvers, involv-
ing approximately 200 Army planes OF
all types, to be held in Ohio, beginning
May Is.
The demonstration will be made with
a service bombing plane, which Is to
fly from Dayton, Ohio, to New York
City and return, distance Of 1,544
miles, without touching wheels to the
ground The plane will be refueled in
the air twice by the same method en-
ployed in the world record endurance
flight of the, Army transport plane
Question Marx last January.
Bomber to Be Picked at Random.
The bomber, to be selected at ran
dom from the heavy bombardment
squadrons which will be concentrated
in Ohio at the time, will leave Wilbur
Wright Field about noon May 81. At
Middletown, Pa, it will receive $50 gall
Ions of gasoline from refueling plane
and continue to New York, arriving at
approximately 8 pm.
Upon reaching New York the bomber
will release two parachute flares, repre-
senting 1,100-pound bombs. After cir
cling over New York IS minutes the
plane will turn westward. 1t is to be
refueled in the air a second time at
Middletown and continue to Dayton
where it is scheduled to arrive before
dawn.
The flight will be made under the
direction Of Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan
commandant of the 5th Corps Area
who will command the air and ground
forces during the two-week maneuvers
The mission is to demonstrate how re-
fueling extends the cruising range OF
ence to bombing operations over coun-
try where fields for the landing Of the
big planes are not available.
War Conditions Simulated.
Conditions involved will be similar tc
those in time of war. 1t is necessary
to establish bombardment squadron
fields long way in back of the front
lines, Army officers pointed out, be.
cause it is seldom possible to find fields
of sufficient size, safety and conceal
ment close to the lines. It is possible
however, to locate smaller fields in the
forward areas from which small refuel-
ing planes may go up to meet the big
bombers, enabling them to continue fal
into enemy territory.
The bomber to be used will be an
L-B-7 twin air-cooled motor plane OF
the latest type. The plane has cruiS-
ing speed of IS miles per hour and q
normal gasoline capacity which limits
1t to a cruising radius of 600 miles. The
L-B-7 type is biplane with wing
spread of TAG feet. It can carry max
imum load of Gill pounds, including
its crew of five men and 1850 pounds
of armament.

HEIRS MAKE REPLY

Have Never Refused Pay
ment' on PralI Estate,
Statement Asserts.

Heirs to the Prall estate on Sixteenth
street between H and streets, which
Collector of Taxes Chatham M. Towers
recently announced would be sold at
public auction under the new law to
satisfy taxes, today denied, through
their attorney, Alvin L. Newmeyer, that
the owners, ever refused to pay the
taxes, but had objected to the "at-
tempted collection of thousands of dol
lars in illegal assessments, which they
do not owe"
The total amount of taxes due, ac-
cording to Mr.. Towers. is $40,078.23. of
which the unpaid taxes represent $16,-
1861. The remainder is made up of
accrued penalties amounting to $23,-
172.91, and $18.65 for advertising the
property for sale under the old law.
Mr.. Newmyer's statement with refer
ence to the announcement of Tax Col
lector Towers follows:
81 wish to correct a misstatement in
the broadly published announcement OF
the collector of taxes regarding the
alleged unpaid taxes on this property

property was in litigation in the Dis
trict of Columbia for % years last past,

Even during the years of litigation, al
though heavily burdened with the ex-
penSe Of defending their estate against
the claims of parties seeking to estab-
lish title to the property, the heirs have
from time to time, for a number OF
years, paid the taxes as they were able.
and several years ago. when an effort
was made by the District to collect
alleged taxes with certain penalties that
were illegal, the District Supreme Court
refused to permit the sale of the prop
erty, and appointed receiver, VINO has
used whatever income was obtained
from the property toward the payment
of accruing taxes.
"The heirs have never refused to pay
the taxes and expect to pay the Dis
trict whatever taxes are lawfully due,
but have objected, and do object, to
the attempted collection of thousands
of dollars In illegal assessments which
they do not owe, and the District of
Columbia has never, as matter Of fact,
actually determined the correct amount
of taxes legally payable

committee TO PASS
ON D. C. LEGISLATION
Senate Group to Select Bills Which
Should Have Attention at
Present Session.

The Senate District committee has
been called to meet at IL o'clock Fri
dav to decide whether there is any Dis
trict legislation which should be
enacted at the present session.
The House District committee Is not
organized for the special session, so that
any local measures that are to be con-
sidered probably will have to originate
in the Senate. Chairman Capper of the
Senate committee, has reintroduced the
free text book bill for local high schools,
and the committee may determine Fri
day whether to push this measure at
the special session.
Thus far, there have been no indica-
lions that the street railway merger will
be acted on during the special session.
This question also may be discussed
when the committee meets.
