year the total was 3,o4O, with the cost
amounting to $18,284,500 for the whole
year.
The total number Of new housing
units erected or placed under oonstruc-
ticn this year to date is $3.50, as COM
pared with 4,344, including both apart
ments and dwellings, for 1928.
The number of new dwellings alone
totals 1929 for the first IL months Of
this year and the number Of sales OF
new houses totals 1871.
During October, November and the
first 10 days of December of this year
there were lat new houses placed I'M
der construction and during the same
period 284 new houses here were sold.
"a conservative analysis of the fig
ureS covering the construction and sale
of all new houses in the District to
date this year leads to the conclusion
that the fundamental conditions under
lying the real estate market situation
in Washington have definitely changed
for better" Mr.. Lusk said.
There is no attempt TO deny in this
statement" he continues, that the real
estate market generally in Washington
has not been below the level of the past
several years, and 1t seems apparent
that the flow of huge sums Of money
into stock speculations in the past two
years, especially in the past year UP to
the break in the stock market. has adj
versely affected real estate conditions
here, as elsewhere.
Change for Better.
"But 1t is also Just as apparent-and
1t is encouraging to note-that condi-
tions here have changed recently for
the better. Our statistics reveal that
house construction during this period
of last year was greater, but a COM
parison shows that sales this year in
the same period have been relatively
faster, though not so great in volume.
That is, during october, November and
the first ten days of December, 1928,
there we're 239 houses placed under con-
struction and 292 sold, in comparison
with lat new houses started during this
period of 1929 and 284 new dwellings
sold.
Because Of the lower rate of con-
struction of houses now current and
because sales are continuing at an aver
age of 100 houses q month, the number
of new houses that will be for sale at
the end of the next 90 days should be
somewhat below the normal number
generally on hand in the past"

siderable report writing on the part of
the car crew, but officials of the COM
panv announced that nothing would be
done about it unless Senator Blease
filed a complaint. In that case, John
H. Hanna, president of the company,
said an investigation would be made
in conformity with the policy to check
UP on all complaints, whether they
come from a member OF Congress or
not.
Senator Blease, however, does not
propose 10 make a complaint. He said
there was no excitement in connection
with his trip and that the incident
was closed as far as he Is concerned.
The Senator treated the matter as of
little consequence. He said he suggested
that the car should be backed to the
platform, but that man behind the
motorman, whom he presumed was an
inspector, pointed out that there were
cars behind them making that impos.-
sible. The doors Of the car were opened,
he explained, and he got off before it
had gone very far toward the next stop.
Senator Blease explained that he was
seated about the middle OF the car and
that when he got up to leave the doors
were closed before he started to get off.
He said he was told he could have a
transfer to ride back, but he replied he
would not do that.
In giving his version Of the incident,
the Senator declared no one was i'm
polite and he expressed the belief that
the car probably would have returned to
the platform If there had not been an
other car in the rear. He added that
he was not carried far beyond his
stopping point and therefore he had
not been Inconvenience by the incident.

EDITORS ATTITUDE
ON TARIFF GIVEN
Senators Allen and Johnson
in Tilt Over Value of
Statements Presented.

More kilograms from editors in Min
nesota and neighboring States taking
opposite views on the tariff controversy
were inserted in the Congressional
Record today along with a renewal of
the row in the Senate over their
attitude.
Senator Allen, Republican, Kansas, in
presenting the names of 81 more editors
in the Northwestern States who urged
speedy enactment of the tariff measure
without any delay for the purpose of
slashing the existing industrial rates
accused the Senate Of weakness" in
seeking to bulldoze its detractors."
Aroused by continuance of the dis
cusSion over the editors, Senator john
son, Republican, California, spoke up
as the "bloc of one in this body" to
assert:
II am sick and tired Of seeing news
paper articles published in this Record.
We have a duty here ourselves, and
don't give rap for the views of spokes-
men of editors or for the criticisms of
the newspapers. wish they would
begin to criticize one another and let
us do our work."
Allen replied that nothing contrib
uted so much to the fabric OF public
opinion in this country as the news
paper editors"
"And nothing so detracts from q man
in public life" retorted johnson, "as
his constant reiteration of what may
be published in the newspapers"

AUBURN, N. Y, December 13.--With
State officials making haste to bring to
trial surviving leaders Of Auburn
Prisons mutiny, search went on today
for 10 guns which disappeared in the
outbreak. Efforts were made to identify
three convicts who took part in the
riot, but who regained their cells in the
excitement.
A special term OF Supreme Court, to
convene in Cayuga County, in which
this city is situated, as quickly as the
law permits, was ordered by Gov. Roose-
welt. In order to obtain all possible
evidence, DR.. Raymond F. C. Kieb.

Warden Edgar s. Jennings ard his
aides. They will be assisted by District
Attorney Benjamin Kenyon Of SSLlga

Governor for Drastic Action.
"It is time that the handful OF in
corrigible criminals in the State Prison
should realize that the continuation of
acts of violence against the State will
be dealt with with immediate and
drastic severity" said Gov. Roosevelt.
Referring to the special term of
court, the executive said: II do this in
justice to the family Of Principal Keeper
George A. Durnford, who was killed, to
the guards who were wounded, and to
the other guards, who, with the State
troopers and militia, acted with such
conspicuous bravery in the riot"
District Attorney Kenyon said that
his office to prosecute every one con-
cerned in the killing of the principal
keeper.
Killed in Rescue Attempt.
Durnford was killed trying to rescue
Warden Jennings from the hands of the

nings as their hostage while they
bargained for their freedom.

to pick out three men--in q prison
population of 1,553--who survived the
hail of bullets in the final stand against
officers just before the 6-hour mutiny
ended

unidentified men died battling with the
officers from whom they asked no

BUSINESS TAX CUT
SCORED IN SENATE
Norris and Borah See Plan
as Move to Give Bonus
to Corporations.
BY the Associated Press.
FrhA AfA,a

BY the Associated Press.
The Administrations proposal for a
per cent cut in the corporation in
come tax rate drew fire in the Senate
today, but both Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders rallied to its defense as
the Senate settled down to considera-
ton of the House resolution to carry
out the program for a $160,000,o 900 re-
duction in individual and corporation
income taxes.
The Republican independents, led by
Senator Norris, Nebraska, and Borah,
Idaho, aSsailed the proposed cut in the
corporation levy on this years income,
contending the corporations already
had passed their taxes onto the con-
sumers and the tax cut would amount
merely to a bonus.
Norris argued that it would be better
for the country, anyway, to apply the
$3.50 100000 Treasury surplus to the re-
duction OF the war debt.
Smoot Rushes to Defense.
Chairman Smoot of the finance COM
mittee rushed to its support, and Sen
ators Simmons, North Carolina, and
Copeland, New York, both Democrats,
joined him.
Simmons said It was his under
standing the tax resolution was pro-
posed in the thought that IF this sur
plus was returned to the taxpayers
it would tend largely to remove a
psychological situation that threatened
serious consequences" He argued that
this purpose would be defeated IL the
proposed cut for the corporations was
eliminated.
Norris had insisted that the tax reso-
luton was proposed to relieve those
who have suffered in the recent col
lapse of the stock market.
Senator CouZens of Michigan, Re-
publican member of the finance COM
mittee, has pending an amendment to
increase the tax reduction with a cut
in the capital gains and capital loss
tax from 1917 per cent to 10 per cent.
This, and this alone, he contends, will
really afford business some relief dur
ing the approaching year.
However, the Treasury has said mo"
to the Couzens amendment. Secretary
Mellon thinks it good proposition, but
he doesn't see that there is enough
money in sight next year to warrant it..
II the Senate approves the tax cut
in the form in which 1t was adopted
by the House. the resolution will go
straight to the White House, where
President Hoover has given assurance Of
his approval.
