Is crime a recognized industry?
The Internal Revenue branch Of
the Treasury claims that Druggan,
~b00tlegger, owes over 100000 as
income tax on his criminal prof
its and that Lake. bo%otlegger,
owes over 5000, 900 on like opera
tons. The prohibition unit of the
Treasury must have furnished this
information to the Internal Reven-
lie unit. An attempt is being made
to attach real estate of these til
tanic bootleggers to satisfy the tax
accounts. This is not any wet or
dry" question. What the public
wants to know is why, when the
Treasury department has detailed
information of the profits of crime,
it doesn't forget taxes until the
criminals are punished. Why net
minnows and let the whales go
free? Or is it just good business
policy to let fellows of this size
keep operating until the tax ac-
count is squared?

In Boston this week, a very or
dinary-looking shepherd dog, was
awarded a gold medal by the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals Prince dragged his
two-year-o1d Eileen Depson, from
a railroad track where she had
laid down to rest, just as a train
rounded the curve. Then again the
weeks news carries the story of
the trapper, accidentally wounded
by his w gun, up in the Pine
Lake district of Ontario, who fast
ened a note to his dogs collar,
heading him for the nearest camp.
The dog ran through miles Of
brush, swan a river and wound
up at the Tom Hughes Camp,
Hughes followed the dog, gave
first aid to the wounded trapper,
took him back to camp and the
trapper recovered-his life saved
by the faithful dog. Then we have
still another case of disputed own
ership of a dog-settled by the
dog in his own way. When a dog
wags a welcome to his master,
there is no chance for error. In
fact the dog as a witness is never
doubted. Human witnesses may
perjure themselves, they may be
in doubt. Even when they speak
knowingly and truthfully, they are
sometimes suspected. But a dog
makes no mistake and his demon
stration is beyond question His
is a language Of affection and an
expressive and convincing one at
that. AS between men and dogs
we'll, we like dogs.

The estate of the late ] Ogden
Armour shrunk faster than wool
en- underwear in a Chinese laund-
ry. During bloomin wartimes,
Mr.. Armour's fortune was estimat-
ed at 5000, 000, 900 plus. The estate
at it's closing, November 10th,
showed S1,805, 900 minus. This sum
was the deficit due his widow and
daughter who had advanced large
sums of money from their personal
fortunes to satisfy just claims of
credit-a most unusual and honor
able proceeding. The enormous
shrinkage was due to cancellation
of wartime contracts. Armour
himself, estimated that he lost a
million dollars a day for 100 days
in a stretch, but the estimate prov
ed too low. This is without doubt
the greatest shrinkage in real val
mes ever registered in probate pro-
ceedings.

BOMB HOME IN
TEXTILE WAR

ELIZABETHToN, Tenn, May 10
Q.N.S.).-A detachment of State
militia today was sent from the
strike zone here to the Hunter
community on Stoney Creek after
a dynamite blast demolished the six
room frame house of Mack Elliott,
an active member of the United
Textile Workers.
The explosion was so terrific that
fragments were scattered for sew
eral hundred yards. Elliott and his
family were not at home, having
spent the night with friends.
Whether the explosion was con-
nected with the labor disturbances
here was not known.
Sheriff j. NJ. Moreland said Elliott
was the man who reported several
weeks ago that bomb was hurled
into his automobile as he was en-
route to a labor meeting.
The troops left here for the Elliott
home to prevent further possible
disturbances. The guardsmen had
been on duty here guarding the
American, Bemberg and Glantzstoff
plants, which resumed partial opera
tion this week after defying the
demand Of $500 strikers and ignor-

a degree culpable or not, has died

case of these officers. it does urge
that your excellency, as heretofore
has characterized your administra.

of justice is served.

CAME AS
SURPRISE

Harleigh H. Hartman, a pub
lie utilities lawyer, with offices
in the Mills Building, will sue
ceed Col. Harrison Brand, jr..
as a member of the Public
Utilities Commission of the
District.
President Hoover, who selected
Hartman for q place on the COM
mission after months of study, win
probably send his name to the
Senate for confirmation today.
Refer to Committee
The Senate win refer Hartman's
name to the Judiciary COMMITTEES
for consideration and probably viii
not act on his nomination for sew.
eral days.
Hartman said this morning that
he does not know whether the
President wants him to take office
now or wait until the Senate has
finally passed on his nomination.
The selection of Hartman to fill
the place of Col. Harrison Brand,
jr., who left the commission when
the Senate failed to confirm his
nomination. came as a distinct
surprise. His name had not been
mentioned publicly at all.
Gnoa% GuV.nT.iGa
at was a great surprise to me,
Hartman said. He would make no
other comment.
Hartman is public utilities
lawyer with offices in the Mills
Building.
For two years, Mr.. Hartman was
a member of the Illinois Utilities
Commission at Springfield. Coming
to Washington in 1920, he served
for four years as a valuation ex-
pert with the Interstate Commerce
Commission which position he re-
signed in 1924 to resume the prac-
tice of law. He is the author Of
a number of books on utilities mat
ters. and has lectured on utilities
problems at three universities. Mr..
Hartman is a native Of Illinois, and
Is Al years old and married and
lives at 1928 Decatur St. N. w.
There were about 40 applicants
for the vacancies on the commits
sion, and perhaps never before has
the White House gone to such pains
In selecting local official as in
this case. Under the law, a mem
ber of the commission must have
been a resident of Washington for
three years, which made the selec-
ton more difficult for the Presi-
dent.
Came Here In 1920
Mr.. Hartman gave up his voting
residence in Illinois when he and
his family came to this city in
1920, thus meeting the residence
qualifications.
1t is not likely that President
Hoover will name a successor to
John w. Childress, chairman of the
commission, until perhaps next
week. Childress' resignation will net
become effective until June !, which
will give him ample time to initiate
Mr.. Hartman into his new duties.
