ENVOY TO POPE
Government May Recognize
PapaI Sovereignty.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. stigma
ture in Rome Sunday of a treaty in
which Italy will recognize papal
sovereignty over the Vatican will
change the situation announced by
President Grant in a message to
congress as making further Amer
lean diplomatic representation to
the Vitican unnecessary.
Whether the United States shall
renew diplomatic relations with the
Vatican will be a question to be an
swered jointly, if at all, by the Presi-
dent, the senate and the house.
It is within the Presidents au-
thority to recognize any sovereign
state.
The senate must confirm the ap-
pointment of the diplomatic agent
to the state and the house must
provide specific appropriation for
maintenance of the mission
At present there is no diplomatic
representation between Washington
ana the Vatican although twenty
five nations are represented there
and receive papal nuncios in their
capitals.

parently tucked his children, Rob-

Authorities said the family died
within four hours after the gas was
released.
Police today had instituted a
search for the mother, who was said
to have left the family two days
before Christmas. Neighbors said
Breer and his wife frequently quar-
relied, and some gave this as a mo-
tive for the mans act.

The Rev. EuSevius HeIle to
Be Buried Tuesday.

High mass will be celebrated at

ASSESSORS TO
TAKE TRAILS Of
TAX DODGERS
township Redistricted to
Make 1t Easier to Cover
Territory.

Center township has been redis-
tricted to make it easier for asses
sors to cover the territory and hard
er for property owners to escape
taxation.
Township Assessor Frank Brattair
announced that the 155 deputies
would start working in the new dis
trict March I.
In the downtown section of the
city, fifteen districts have been laid
out, each of which will be patrolleia
by one man. This, Brattain said,
will prevent Implications that have
appeared in previous years because
the assessors sometimes visited
places where one of their co-workerS
already had been.
Visit Each Building
Each office building will be visited
room by room, as will each indie
pendent business in the downtown
districts. Records are to be kept of
each street and the business rooms
and buildings thereon. In this way
the office has a double check on the
places from year to year. The name,
location and valuation of the previ-
Gus year are entered in each in
stance.
In the residence districts, of which
there are 40, the assessors will go
after the personal property assess
ments. In many cases, Brattain
said, there now are small commu-
nifty centers of business houses
which will be assessed by a special
flying squadron"
Check All Assessments
Another new system under the re-
districting plan is that Of having the
local board of review check valua-
tons of any amount. Heretofore.
the board has not scrutinized assess
ments that aggregated less than
$1,000.
This will prevent persons from
escaping rigid investigation by max
ing the assessed valuation less than
$1,000.
During 1928, center township as
sessments totaled $52,500,000 with
about 25,000,000 of this being bust
ness property The total was more
than $55000,00O.
Chief Deputy William Graham
said the decrease was due to vacan-
cies in office buildings and a slack
ening in business. He cited two In
dianapolis firms which dropped al
most $1,000,000.
Work for Sixty Days
"This year will show larger re-
turns" he said. "They probably
will be larger than those two years
ago because business is picking up
and there are less office building
vacancies and more real estate &C
tivity and building"
Since May l, 1927, investigators
have uncovered 100000 worth of
property concealed through false as
sessment statements, Brattain said
The personal assessment deputies
will work fifty-two days after March
l and the deputies in the business
district, sixty days.

BECK'S RIGHT
TO SEAT UP IN
HOUSE TODAY
Charge Congressman Is Not
Philadelphia Resident
in Contest.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE
right of James M. Beck of Phila-
delphia to a seat in congress will
be decided when the house takes up
the contested election of the for
mer solicitor general today.
Beck's election was contested on
the ground ne was not resident
of Pennsylvania as defined by the
constitution. Election committee 2,
however, reported after investigat-
ing the case that he was eligible for
a seat.
Beck, who was sworn in as a
member to succeed Senator Elect
Ware, has been occupying a seat in
the chamber daily and drawing
$4,000 a year for his Legislative
work.
The contest started when his OPP
ponents claimed Beck was a resi-
dent of New York, that he rented an
unfinished apartment in Phila-
delphia merely to establish a resi-
dence there and at the same time
maintained a home in Washington.
The committees investigation
showed, however, Beck was a tax
payer in Philadelphia and resumed
his citizenship there.
Minority members contend that
to allow Beck TO retain his seat
would be a frontal attack on the
Constitution, a blasting process
which is to weaken the foundation
of the great American dream OF
representative government"
Beck's election to the seventy
fifth congress, which comes into be-
ing March 4 is also expected to be
contested. He was reelected by q
margin OF a few votes.
