In sunny mood, Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh came home today after flying
the blue waters Of the Caribbean on the
inaugural flight Of the new seven-day
air mail linking North and South
America.
Todays hop was q nonstop Jump
from Maimi, Fla, at an average of
about 1875 miles an hour. Just
leisurely flying" he said. I'D turned
over the mail in Miami to another plane,
so there was nothing to hurry about. u
His plane was the specially built racer
in which he recently set new trans
continental record.
Landing some distance from a crowd
gathered to see him come in, the colonel
TAXED directly into hangar, the doors
of which were then closed. He chatted
with reporters for a few minutes be-
fore going to New York. joking about
a report that he had been killed while
in Panama and asking If any stories
had been printed that I'VE" was
about to make another transatlantic
flight.
He said he had no immediate plans
to announce and did not say where he
was going after reaching New York

rejoin his wife at the home of heI
parents, Ambassador and Mrs. Dwight
w. Morrow.
Mrs. Lindbergh did not accompany
her husband on this flight, one of the
first of any extent since their marriage
in which she has not participated.
Col. Lindbergh made the hop from
Miami, approximately 1900 miles, in
8 hours and 81 minutes.

REDUCTION OF TAX AREA BY y. S.
SEEN AS AIDING D. C.. REVENUES
Assessor Richards Declares That Taking
Away Money-Producine Sites Actu-
ally Increases Returns to City.

Withdrawal Of taxable property by
governmental purchase or condemna-
ton and its transfer to the exempt list
does not reduce the Districts means
Of raising revenue through real estate
assessment. but in reality adds to the
base of assessment, "widens it and
Strengthens It," according to William
P. Richards, tax assessor for the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Richards views on a matter Of
wide interest to Washington are made
known in letter to william Price Of
the editorial staff Of the Washington
Times, which recently was inserted in
the Congressional Record by Repre-
man Of the subcommittee on District
appropriations.
Mr.. Richards letter follows in full:
Text Of Letter.
Dear Mr.. Price: The statement Is
continually made in the newspapers
and out of them that the purchase Of
private property by the United States
will tend to weaken the base OF tax
alton by taking away property now as
sessed, thereby reducing our means OF
raising revenue through assessment OF
real estate.
IT have been asked the question by
several and once by you whether this
was not true. and my reply Is that the
whole idea Is based on no facts and is
more or less a Pigment Of the magma
ton. With the average citizen OF
Washington the idea, or notion. has be-
come fixed by constant repetition. The
purchase Of property by the United
States from private citizens not only
does not narrow the base Of assessment
but even adds to 1t. and widens 1t and
strengthens 1t, and this Is so for the
following three reasons:
"First. That purchases of property
by the United States are generally at a
figure that enables the owners to in
vest in better pieces Of property. The
shift In business locations from one
place to another may thereby even add
to the volume of the business.
Second. The wealth Of q city does
not depend on its area or the amount
of ground covered by either business or
residences.
Third. The real estate wealth of q
community is directly proportional to
the number of inhabitants so that II
the number of inhabitants grow even
while purchases are being made the
value Of the community will grow In the
same proportion.
Explains His Deductions.
Taking up the first assertion that
property purchased by the United
States Is at such figures as to produce
an increased assessment base, ! will
refer you to few instances
1.-THE Southern Railway received an
award greatly in excess of the cost OF
the property and then expended an
amount even in excess Of this award
The assessable base in this case was
increased instead of being diminished
In the new location Of the Southern
Railway Offices. old properties were re-
moved and the section greatly improved
to the advantage Of the surrounding
property. In this process the price paid
for old and obsolete properties enabled

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
INJURED IN CAR CRASH

ceiving treatment.

THREE RUM CASES
POSTPONED IN COURT
Police Charge Truck Load Of Gam.
bling Paraphernalia Seized
in Raid.

The cases Of three men arrested on
charges of violations of the prohibition
law after raid Friday on the Roma
Restaurant TOT Twelfth street, were
continued until April at Police Court
yesterday on the request Of Assistant
District Attorney David A. Hart.
The men arrested, Thomas Restifo,
80 years old; Louis Rinaldi, 40. and
VaSio Mario. Girard street near Four
tenth, were not officially charged at
court. Police placed complaints OF
possession of IL quarts of whisky, q
pint of Italian wine, setting up gam
ing table and maintaining a nuisance
against the men.
About 80 patrons Of the restaurant,
mostly young men and women, were
seated at tables when the raidinR
squads, composed of the vice squad
headed by Sergt o. j. Letterrnan, and
group Of prohibition agents, led by
Agent Warren G. Heddens, entered on
search warrant.
More than q truckload Of gambling

United States between $500 900 900 and
$1,000, 100000 worth of goods q year,
we buy from the Canadians only $780,
600 900 or $500 900 900 worth. The bal
ance Of trade being 50 heavily In Ameri-
can favor, the Canadians consider that
our tariff policy Is correspondingly I'M
fair and ungenerous.
The net and frankly designed effect
Of the proposed form of Canadian re-
taliation against American goods will
be to favor British trade. 1t is the
announced purpose Of the Dominion
government, under its present scheme
of tariff revision, to improve and ex-
tend British preference" by facilitat-
ing the entry of goods from the mother
country in every direction.
AS an additional slap at Uncle Sam
for the blow he Is about to deliver to
Canadian exports to the United States,
the Dominion finance minister an
nounceS new income tax regulations.
Hereafter American citizens who work
IN Canada but live In the United States,
will be required to pay taxes on the in
come they derive in the Dominion.
The ruling will hit numerous residents
of American border towns and cities
who cross the line daily to various oc-
equations In Canada. Canadian cor
porationS which pay dividends to Ameri-
can nonresident stockholders will also
be called upon to deduct income tax
before accounting for these dividends
10 their Yankee associates. The new
provision will retroactively apply to
1929 incomes.
Addressing last weeks United States
Chamber Of Commerce meeting In
Washington, Lieut.. Col j. H. Woods,
president Of the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce, uttered these frank words:
IT think I am within the limit of
moderation when I say that Canada
as whole Is feeling a sentiment of
injustice toward it in your somewhat
ruthless enactment designed to prevent
the sale of our goods In your country.
We find difficulty In establishing any
market with you and we are growing
to feel what is even worse. that If
through earnest efforts and sound mod
ern methods We cultivate market with
you, that market may be cut of from
as at any moment"
One Of the striking points In Col.
Woods address was his reference TO
the proposed new higher American
rates against Canadian cattle. He
pointed out that while cattle exports
DO the United States from Canada are
90 small that they cannot affect ap-
preciably market prices in this country,
It takes from 80 to so acres of land to
look after one steer. The conversion OF
Athat amount of Canadian land to the
growing Of wheat, Col. Woods ex-
y Named. Is of great competitive impor-
lance to the American farmer because
1t adds that much to the combined sur
plus of both countries in supplying the
world market with wheat.

the owners to move elsewhere, giving
them a choice Of new locations and
enabling them to erect new and better
improvements. In this instance the
ramifications Of changes, OF course,
we're very great.
Again the power company sold prop
erty at Fourteenth and B streets ana
changed the location OF their once 70
Tenth and z streets, which Is a better
location for the company, and which
has had the effect of raising the value
of land surrounding the new locality.
Another instance is that OF hotel
which had seen its best days. It was
sold to the Government at figure that
would enable hotel business to be car
ried on in Q better location or else
allow the money to be used as better
income producer.
Increase in Value.
1.-THE second assertion as to relation
between area and real estate value can
be confirmed by comparing the sale at
Fourteenth and @ made in 1908 and
the one made about 16 years afterward
when the price obtained was times
the former sale. The area and improve.
ments remained the same, but the In
crease In population turned the trick.
found that one-half of the wealth OF the
District of Columbia Is included in abou,
one-sixteenth Of its area. If this area
of wealth be shifted slightly from ont
geographical confer to another the VOL
ume of business will not be decreased
and consequently the exchange oi
wealth, which Is the basis of real estate
wealth, will remain the same. Tht
location of certain centers Of business
properties are constantly changing and
there is no difference whether thi,
change be brought about by a purchase
Of property by the United States or By
the necessities due to q change In the
number OF inhabitants, the results are
bound to be the same.
In the third assertion as to thu
wealth Of q community being proper.
tional to its number Of inhabitants Il
shown by recent statistics. A study Of
all Of the cities Of the size Of Wash.
ington will show that real estate wealth
may be approximated at $4,000 per per.
son, and that for cities double the size
of Washington the wealth Of the rea
estate will still be found to be $4,000
per person, or possibly q little more, will
still apply. This will show that rear.
rangement Of our living conditions ane
business location must still meet with
the same ratio Of wealth per person.
An Actual BENEFIT.
mot only do I assert that the pur.
chase of property by the United States
will not interfere with the real base oil
assessment, but the actual results now
arising are the widening and enlarge
ment Of this base by reason of the fact
that every new building put up by the
United States holds forth an induce.
ment for new clerks and consequent en-.
largement Of the population, all OF
which has It's reflex in the ultimate
amount of assessment value. It cannot
be denied by any one who stops to think
on the matter that the recent activities
Of Uncle Sam have taken UP some OF
the slack felt so keenly elsewhere"

to REQUIRE that half of this sum be ex-
pended for national representation and

officer sustained q point of order made
against this proposal. A division on
making the appropriation resulted in a
vote of SO for and against.

FISHERMEN PERISH
IN GIANT TYPHOON
200 Missing as Japanese Fleet Is
Wiped 0ut-94 Bodies
Recovered.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, May 3.-Nearly 200 Japa-
nese fishermen were believed today to
have persisted in a sudden typhoon
which dashed their big feet last night
between the Islands of saghalien and
Hokkaido.
Dispatches to the RenRo News
Agency stated that "a bodies were re-
covered, but more than 100 men were
missing. Five hundred fishing boats
were wrecked and damage estimated
at $2,500,000 was done.
Lured by herring schools within the
bay. 10000 fishermen aboard 1000
boats put to sea from Odomari, fish
ing town of Southern Saghalien. A
majority of the male population of the
town was aboard the boats.
Without warning the typhoon struck
with terrific violence. Some boats went
down quickly others were swamped as
they ran for the harbor, while still
others were smashed upon the rocky
shores of Odomari Bay. One-fourth
Of the boats were lost.
The typhoon came at the peak of a
prosperous fishing season. Along the
beaches a rich catch was drying. This
was swept away.
At the height of the storm land
slides fell from the bluffs upon the
city. destroying numerous homes of
those who had6lost fathers or sons.
