 ment Commission

! WASHINGTON, April 26-Presi-
 dent Hoover is understood to be seeking the services of Associate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone of the United States Supreme Court for Chairman of the National Law En- lforcement Commission, although 1t is current rumor that Stone is reluctant to resign the bench and undertake the task of studying the whole Federal judicial and enforce ment machinery and submitting recommendations for reorganiza- ton of those two branches of the Government.
 President Hoover regards the law enforcement problem as tran scending any in the country. In a recent address he said the Com mission will perform the greatest service to the present generation in studying the problem.

largely done away with and labor forces
would become more efficient. Such q,
poncy, however, would result in the
building up of inventory of finished
cars ana parts, and there Is where the
real difficulty comes in. e -.
IL is not primarily question Of the
cost OF carrying the inventory, for that
could probably be met through the
economies of production at a steady
pace. The difficulty lies in the inpor-
lance Of style changes.
THE automobile executive abhors and
Iears large new car inventory, and
rightly so, for he breads the possibility

troduce a new feature or a change In
design that might render his line ont

sell the accumulated cars. Probably
the most effective single change that
might De helpful in dealing with this
donment Of the trade custom of intro
ducing new models once a year Some

and apparently they have found it sue

IF all the others should follow their
lead, the industry would be benefited
IN some very important respects, but
1t Is entirely possible that the annual
automobile shows would become impos-
sible. This would take out of Amer
lean life a most interesting and pie
turesque feature, and it would take
from the industry some valuable adj
vertising.
Nevertheless, it is probable that the
abolition of annual style changes in
automobiles, and consequently the abo-
lition of automobile shows, would be
steps toward the sterilization of auto

industry at this time"

DRY CASES BARRED
IN ARIZONA COURT
Controversy With U. S. Over
Feeding Prisoners Brings
Order From County Judge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PHOENIX, Ariz.. December 2e-The
Federal Government was barred from
prosecuting liquor law cases in the
courts of Maricopa County by a deci-
sion of Superior Judge M. T. Phelps
yesterday.
It all started Monday when the
county board of supervisors refused any
longer to house and feed Federal pris-
oners at the existing rate of rs cents
daily per man. The board demanded
81 day.
Then John H. Udall, Federal prohi-
bitlon administrator for Arizona, an
nounced he would file all Federal
liquor law violation cases in the county
instead OF in Federal Court. BY this
transfer, 1T was explained, the county
would be forced to care for Federal
prisoners If convicted in county courts.
This move prompted Superior Judge
Phelps to order the county attorney
to refuse prosecution of such Federal
cases.
United States Marshal George Mauk
declared that the Federal Government
would go to "the extra expense of trans
ferr1ng prisoners to other county jails
OF the State rather than be sandbagged
into accepting conditions which it feels
are unjust. In Tucson and Prescott
la1ls, where the food is considered salts
factory, the Government has been pay
ing 81 a day rate for some time"
Marshal Mauk said he notified Mari
copa County officials last June that they
could obtain the increased rate PRO
Vlded they put in their own Kitchens
and served suitable food to the pris-
oners."

Delegation Greeted on Ar

SOUTHAMPTON. England, December
2S.-The liner Olympic, flying the Jap
anese flag, brought the Japanese dele
cation to the London Naval Disarma-
ment Conference into port yesterday
ending the long journey from Toxic by
way of Washington and New York to
England.
The mayor of Southampton and off,
Gals from the Japanese embassy in
London accorded the delegation an Of
ficial welcome.
Reijiro Wakatsuki, chief of the dele
cation. said in an interview: II am glad
that by passing through the United
States we have been afforded an oppor-
tunity to meet and confer informally
with the American authorities. The
table. =
LAS some time remains before the
conference is convened, we will have
similar opportunities for frank ex-
change of views with the British au-
thoritieS.
Much has already been accomplish
ed In preliminary negotiations, through
our Ambassadors in England and Amer
lea, to clarity our position and the ma
ture of the problems we are to face.
I'VE desire to do all in our power to
smooth the path of progress in coming
to the conference. Our people and our
government are united in an ardent de-
sire for successful conference and wish
that not only limitation, but actual re-
duction in naval ornaments, shall be
effected.
Japan will be satisfied with an in
ferior naval strength as compared with
Great Britain and the United States.
All she asks is the security of the en-
pire. She has never thought of agrees
sion.
IT am confident that her pacific
policy will enable her to cooperate
freely and effectively with the other
powers in the attainment of the noble
detectives of the conference.
I'VE sincerely believe that by inspir-
ing all nations with fresh confidence
and good will toward one another the
meetings will surely reinforce the pact
of Paris in its exhortation for the
establishment of an enduring peace. It
is with great hopes that we have come
to London"

NEW YORK, December 28.-Named
by police as instigator of two gang

He said two factions are seeking con-
troll of the Democratic party in the

Flynn, and the other that of Mayor
James j. Walker and former Mayor

He denounced as Lies" the charges
of Police Inspector Joseph j. Donovan
that he had arranged the "hold-up" of
dinner in honor of Magistrate Albert

gunnan whereby he had agreed to pay
$4,000 for the murder of Frankie Yale
and Frank NARROW.

yale was my dear friend NARROW was
casual acquaintance, but no enemy"
When Mayor Walkers attention was
sailed to Terranova's statement that he
was being made the goat in a political
row, he said:
''Terranova is right in his idea of an
animal, but he has his animals mixed.
He's not goat. He's a jackaSs."
Two Brothers Slain.
Meanwhile, with Commissioner Grover
Whalen in Chicago. studying traffic, no
effort was made by the police to ques-
hon Terranova. District Attorney John
E. Mcclellan of the Bronx also said he
saw no reason for interviewing Terra
nova, declaring so far as he knew the
police allegations were unsupported by
legal evidence.
Records made public by the police
show that two of Terranova's brothers
met violent deaths. Nicholas Terranova
was shot and killed in 1916 in what po-
ice said was a gangster feud. and VIM
cent Terranova was shot and killed in
1922.

D. c. REALTY GAINS
S2O,O()O,ODO IN YEAR
Assessor Richards Forecasts
Results of Appraisal
Near Finish.

Assessments on taxable real estate
for the next fiscal year will exceed by
$40, 900 900 the unprecedented figure of
81 1872 ,463, 300 for the current year, 1t
was predicted yesterday by William p.
Richards, District tax assessor.
Mr.. Richards based his forecast on
the results thus far Of the annual ap-
praisal for the purpose of taxation
which his ONCE is now completing. The
work will be finished in another month,
at which time the eassessor will make
more definite estimate, taking into
consideration new building operations
which may be started before the new
year as well as prospective changes in
assessments which may be made on
account Of appeals by property owners.
Small in COmparison.,
The probable $20,000,0 900 increase,
however, will be small in comparison
with the rise In property values in the
last year, the assessment in this period
being 5000, 900 greater than in the
l92S-29 fiscal year. Mr.. Richards at
tributes the smaller increase for the
coming year to a slackening in building
operations.
The higher assessments will be re-
fiected in the 1930-1931 tax bills. The
increases, according to the assessor,

developing suburban sections and in
other localities where building opera
tions are under way. There has been
no marked change, he said, in the as
sessments on property in the business
area.
Simultaneous with his prediction as
to the assessed value of real estate in
the next fiscal year, Mr.. Richards IS
sued a warning to tax payers delinquent
for the last two years that unless the
taxes are paid on or before November
30, the property would be listed for
sale. Preparations are now being made
to publish in the Washington news
papers the names of all property owners
whose taxes have been in arrears for
the last two years. The list will be
published about December Is. The
names of all property owners whose
80, will be included. The delinquents.
however, will be permitted to pay the
bills up to date of the annual tax sale
to be held in January.
Approximately 10000 parcels were
listed for sale last January, but Mr..
Richards expects a decrease of nearly
5000 at the forthcoming sale as a re-
suit of the concerted effort made to col
lect delinquent bills this year.
The current tax bills, Mr.. Richards
pointed out. contained notations of any
delinquencies that may exist. which
served as warning to property owners.
In addition, he said. a special notice
was mailed to the delinquent tax payers,
a number of whom paid the bills.
