Descendants of Leonard
Cookendorfer Take Part
in dwelling Marker.

While large group of officials and
interested spectators looked on, includ-

marked with a bronze tablet bearing MS
service record yesterday by the Capt.
Molly Pitcher Chapter, D. c., D. A. r.,
at Oak Hill Cemetery, in Georgetown,
where the soldier has slept for more
than century.
Cookendorfer's grave is the first Revo-
lutionary grave within the District of
Columbia to be marked by the D. A. r..
It holds special interest for Washing
tonians, as the soldier was born in
Georgetown--on High street." now
Wisconsin avenue, and so far as Is
known, made his home there until his
death in 1928. He was 10 years old
when he died. He took up arms in the
struggle for independence when less
than 20 years of age, going into action
in 1777 as a member of the 29th Bat
talon, under Col. John Murdoch.
Cookendorfer had four children.
Elizabeth, Katherine, Thomas and Mary.
The two descendants who paid tribute
to his memory yesterday were Mrs Will

TAX ON SENATOR'S
$500 FEE IS SOUGHT
Government Would Have Supreme
Court Rule Reed Not Exempt
on Sum Paid by State.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government would have the
Supreme Court rule that Senator
David A. Reed was taxable on $4,000
which he has received from Pennsyl-
vania as counsel for the State in the
settlement of inheritance taxes due
the State from the Henry Prick and
from the Edith Ann Oliver estates.
In December, 1920, Senator Reed was
appointed special counsel for the State
and presented his bill for $4,000 in 1921
for professional services. The Gov
eminent took the position that the
money should be added to the other
income which the Senator had received
as lawyer, and assessed an additional
tax of $1.215. Senator Reed contested
before the board of tax appeals and
lost, but was successful in his appeal to
the Third Circuit Court of Appeals,
which last July held that the income
which he had received from the State
was exempt from Federal taxation.

of President Elect Hoover, which
Hoover has said would go on the
market about Inauguration time.
These advances, however, have not
yet reached the President. And there
is no information as to whether he
would consider the proposition.
Further evidence the President
now plans to return to Washington
is found in the fact most OF the
boxes now being packed at the
capitals foremost residence will not
be shipped TO Massachusetts,.
To many observers this confirms
the report the retiring President viii
be offered the next vacancy on the
supreme court bench.
At the same time, it satisfies some
of Coolidge's friends he is not be-
ing considered for the chairman
ship of the United States Steel
Corporation, as once reported, or
for the presidency Of Amhurst col
lege.
Notwithstanding the President
often has been amused by the po-
sitions selected for him it is
known he has given serious con-
sideration to future plans during
the last year.
AS now formulated they call for
a period of virtual retirement at
Northampton for six or eight
months after March 4.
During this period, the President
plans to null over his papers pre-
paratory to the task of writing the
story of his administration at some
more remote period.

TICKET TAX
FOR THEATERS
is PROTESTED
Burden Already Unfair,
Says Attorney for Owners
in Letter to Legislature.

THE people Of Indiana were led
to believe at the last election that
this state was in a wonderful finan-
cial condition. We were told that
the state was out of debt and that
all was we'll. If we were misled as
to the true condition OF affairs and
the state is in need OF vast addi-
tional revenues, why should only the
theaters have to contribute this adj
ditional peB,nue?"
This is one of the questions
Charles R. Metzger, attorney for the
Associated Theater Owners of In
diana, asked in a letter to Indiana
legislators today opposing the pro-
posed 10 per cent theater admission
tax.
ALREADY Overtaxed"
Indiana theaters already are car
rying more than their fair tax bur-
den, Metzger declared.
In addition to the regular tax on
all theater real estate and the per-
sonal property tax on theater equip
mept, the theaters pay a local city
license fee which is $101 year on
the smallest house in indianapolis;
a special S. county tax and spe-
cial industrial board licence which
is SIS for the smallest theater and
more for the larger ones.
Sixty-nine theaters have been
forced out of business in Indiana in
the last year by financial losses and
approximately one hundred theaters
have been forced to operate only
one or two days a. week instead of
daily, he said.
Theaters Must Garry Load
If a heavy admission tax is placed
in effect many other theaters viii
close their doors, he said.
Indiana citizens have less funds
for amusement than in other. states
and any additional theater tax will
have to be met by the theater own
ers instead of the public, the let
ter stated.
