Entering upon the final stages
Of its inquiry. the House Special
Committee investigating the fiscal
relations Of the Federal and Dis
trict governments today continued
its examination Of Major Daniel ].
Donovan, District auditor.
Discussing the present setup Of
District taxation, Major Donovan
told the subcommittee that he
saw no objection to an increase
in the tax upon gasoline and also
the tax for the registration Of
motor vehicles. He pointed out,
however, If there was any in
crease In the registration tax,
automobiles should be exempted
from the present personal prop
erty tax.
This suggestion was the high
light of Major Donovan's teSti-
mony. He dwelt at length upon
the history of taxation in the Dis
trict, going back to the time when
the territorial form of govern
ment was abandoned. He will con-
tinue on the stand before the COM
mittee tomorrow morning.
Representative Carl E. MapeS
Of Michigan. chairman of the sub
committee, today said he expected
to adjourn the hearings tomor-
row until after the Christmas
holidays. They will C continue e
through early January.

Parachute Failure Fatal
To Fokker Engineer

Failure of his parachute to
open in a 500-foot leap from a
plane, whose motors had failed
last night, ended the life Of
Stephen A. Forberger, project en-
gineer Of the Fokker plant and de-
signer of the plane, who was
crushed to death when his body
landed at Sheriff Road and
Browning Street Northeast.
Unaware that his passenger
had leaped from the ship, Lieut.,
Harrison Crocker, Army Air Corps
made a forced landing in a field
near Ord Street and Keniiworth
Avenue Northeast without injury
to himself and with but slight
damage to the plane.
Body Is Recovered
AS the plane came to a halt,
Lieutenant Crocker turned his
head only to find the seat occu-
pied by his passenger was vacant.
A search resulted in finding
Mr.. Forberger's body with nearly
every bone broken a half mile
from the scene of the landing.
The unopened parachute gave
mute evidence Of the cause Of
the tragedy.
Lieut.. Crocker and his passenger
were on their way from Teter-
boro Airport, N. j., to Wright
Field, Ohio, where tests were to

Spr;iinter Sprints, Thus
Saving 500 From
Bandit Pair

Jesse Ward, jr., of 1841 Co
lumbia Rd. N. W., and a col
lector for a cheese company,
has introduced a novel way of
eluding bandits.
wednesday night young
Wards business carried him to
Southwest Washington, where
he was met by two colored men
bile. One Of the men demanded
gruffly:
Throw up your hands!"
Mr.. Ward didn't respond, but,
instead, took to his heels. With
the bandits in hot pursuit, he
ran around the block. Being
somewhat of a sprinter, Mr..
Ward left the men some dis
tance behind and jumped in
his car, driving off before he
could be overtaken.
Incidentally. Mr.. Ward saved
his. company 500.

Of PAY
BOOSTS SEEN
IN REPORT
Wood Rider Defeated, But
Senate Yields All Other
Points in Pay Raise Row

Federal employees won only so
per cent Of their fight for salary
increases for 1882 in the con-
ference report on the Treasury
and Postoffice appropriation bill.
The report presented to the
Senate today provides:
All funds in the two depart
ments made available by lapsed
salaries-Iapses caused by resigna-
tiOnS, retirementS and death-can
be used for salary increases within
grades.
All additional money for In
creaseS, in accordance with the
Budget Bureaus three-year pro-
gram, are stricken out Of the bill.
House Wins Fight
After receding from the Wood
"rider," the House conferees ap-
parently won out on every item
in the measure affecting salary
increases. The Senate confereeS
agreed to scrap the three-year pro-
gram under the WEIGH act for
another year.
There was no definite data to-
day as to what salary increases
in the Postoffice and Treasury
departments may be looked for
under the bill as it emergeS from
conference.
The Bureau Of Efficiency prob
ably will be called upon to sup
ply this information before tht
Senate accepts the conference Il
bill.
Senate May Not Act
Unless the Federal employees
can succeed in persuading the
Senate to reject the action of its
confereeS, it now appears virtu-
ally certain that all .appropria'
tions for salary increases will be
stricken out Of all the other gen.
eral supply bills.
The Senate probably will not
act upon the conference report
until after the Christmas holi-
days, however. and in the inter
vening period, the organized Fed
eral workers will make a hard
fight against the conference bill
as it now stands.

INSURANCE
Perry BudIong Tells Senators
Agents Take Advantage OF
ignorant; Sign "Bad Risks"

Washingtonians are paying
about $5,Oo0,o0O a year for indus
trial insurance policies, which are,
in fact, not life insurance policies.
This declaration was made to-
day by Percy Budlong, appearing
before a subcommittee Of the
Senate District Committee, which
is holding hearings on a bill de-
signed to throw safeguards
around the holders Of industrial
insurance policies in the District.
Mr.. Budlong, an official re-
porter for the Senate, but who
appeared as a private citizen, told
the committee that the form of
the policies being written by the
industrial or weekly payment poll
cieS results in substantial impo-
sition" upon residents Of the city.
Can't Judge Policy
According to Mr.. Budlong, most
of these policies are taken out
by ignorant and illiterate persons
il poor circumstances who are
not qualified to Judge Of the type
of policy which they obtain.
Mr.. Budlong told the commit
tee that there are seven com.
panieS writing such policies here.
He said that some Of them are
most reputable, and that he was
not criticising the companies, but
the forms Of policies used.
The witness said that under
the policies the beneficiary can
not sue to recover. but that suit
must be brought by the admins
TRAITOR Of the estate Of the in
sured.
Signing bad Risks"
Mr.. Budding charged that agents
Of some Of the companies writing
industrial insurance "are going
around in the highways and by
ways getting all sorts Of bad
risks for their own gain"
Senator Robert Carey. Of Wyom-
ing, asked the witness If it were
not true that there are a lot of
high-powered statesmen who want
to get the first premium on the
policies and who go. no further,
and the witness replied that that
was so.
w. Gwynn Gardiner, attorney,
told the committee that he could
see no need for additional legis.
lation, insisting that provisions of
the District code and court decis-
ions are adequate to handle the
situation. -
The committee, adjourned with
out reaching any decision as to
the report it will make on the
measure.
