Of several of the suspects who were re-
leased after questioning.
Lean Toward Thief Theory.
While virtually all of the investigators
were at first inclined to believe that
Miss Baker was murderer by close
acquaintance, some Of them are now
leaning strongly toward the theory that
she was killed by thief. It Is their
opinion that the woman surprised the
thief while ne was in the act of ransack-
ing her car at Seventeenth and B streets
in the late afternoon of April IL: that
he choked her into Inconsistencies and
carried. her into Arlington County,
where he criminally assaulted and shot
her, disposing of the body In the culvert
along Military road.
Working on this theory, the bullets
removed from the leg OF man shot
recently by an automobile thief who
was caught attempting to steal his car
will be compared with the two bullets
removed from the body Of Miss Baker.
Detectives claim that an analysis by
experts at the Bureau of Standards will
determine whether the bullets were
fred from the same gun.
The Investigators. who still cling to
the theory that Miss Baker was killed
by a person known to her, point out
that If thief had committed the crime
he would not have overlooked the coin
purse In the woman's pocketbook,
which really was the only thing of ma
terial value left in the car when 1t was
abandoned. One Of the two colored
men in the Arlington County jail con-
fessed to removing the coin purse.
The motive for the crime, according
to these ofiicials, was to seal Miss
Bakers lips forever from involving him
In q scandal.

CENSUS DEREL|CTS
FACING PENALTIES
Form Letter Sent Out by Su-
pervisor Requires Answers
Within Two Days.

Responding to requests from j. Ster-
ling Moran, census supervisor of the
District, Leo A. Rover, United States
attorney, today took steps to bring legal
pressure to bear on Washington fami-
lies that have not, for one reason or
another, answered the census queries.
In form letter sent out to certain
heads of families and hotel and apart
ment house owners, the United States
attorneys Office served final notice that
unless census schedules are returned
within two days from receipt Of the
letter it would feel obliged to proceed
with the enforcement of the penalties
provided in the census act"
Offenders Well-to-Do.
Director william M. Steuart ex-
planned that the chief trouble in COM
pleting the census task, now more than
three fourths accomplished, lies not
with the illiterate who refuse to answer
questions, but with the well-to-do hotel
and apartment house jewellers who are
never at home and who neglect to
fill out the forms left for them.
Sometimes an enumerator makes as
many as 20 trips to one apartment"
Director Steuart said. THE family are
ell working in the daytime and all at
the movies at night" He added that
changes in this mode of life in 1880
over 1920 has greatly complicated the
census-taker's task.
S1O0 Fine or so Days.
The letters prepared by Mr.. Rover
point out that the census act provides
q penalty of 500 fine or so days in
Jail or both, at the discretion of the
court, for any person who shall refuse
or wilfully neglect to answer the census
queries.
Except in few instances, the census
is progressing satisfactorily in the Dis
trict. Mr.. Moran said. Director Steuart
said the general work is far in advance
of the 1920 census.
Each of the SIS supervisors in the
country has been asked to report the
districts completed and those incom-
plete, and on the basis of replies the
FIRST Nationwide report on the 1880
census will be compiled. Mr.. Moran
requested any person who has been
missed by the enumerators to I'LL In the

Son Was D. C.. Pupil.

Herbert Fahy, who was injured criti-
cally when his plane crashed yesterday
afternoon in Michigan, is a native of

Fahy first came into national promi-
hence when he circled over the Lincoln
Memorial while President Harding was
dedicating the structure on Memorial
day, 1922 Fahy's commission in the
Army Reserve was Cancelled as a result
Of this flight.

pose will not be nearly as extensive as
the Hoover holdings. The President
bought $50 or 100 acres Of the Virginia
countryside along the Rapidan, and
took lease for another 1000 acres in
the immediate neighborhood.
More Time at Camp.
The decision of the cabinet men to
stake out places for themselves near the
President came about as the result OF
Mr.. Hoover's desire to spend more and
more time on the Rapidan. He has not
been able to carry out his wishes thus

quently with the departmental heads at
Washington. Many of them and their
respective wives have been the guests Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover at recurring inter-
walls. But the accommodations OF the
presidential camp are limited, and not
many of his associates can toregather
here at the same time.
When the cabinet cabins are habitable
it will be possible for their owners, or
colleagues of the owners, to be on the
Rapidan more or less regularly and in
numbers. Some day cabinet meetings
will be held there instead of at the
White House. That is an innovation
which the President has definitely in
mind. It would enable him, he thinks,
often to prolong his sojourns in Vir-
ginia beyond the hurried week end trips
he has been making during the past
year, without any danger of interference
with executive business.
Mr.. Hoover considers his Rapidan
camp about the noblest experiment he
has yet undertaken in the realm Of
recreation. The fishing, the hiking
and the seclusion he enjoys there are
virtually the only play in which he IN
dulges. His friends say he does his

House. They find the President more
inclined there to let himself CO." in
conversation and discussion, than when
he Is within the walls Of the White

complete lack of restraint its isolation
permits.
Comments on Hospitality.
The President loses no opportunity to
speak of the fine hospitality the ON
Gals and people OF the Old Dominion
extend him. The State and county au-
thorities have co-operated enthusiastic
cally, since 1t became the week end
White House, in road building and in
every other direction conducive to Mr..
and Mrs. Hoovers comfort. The camp,
while easily accessible by road, is far
enough from the beaten motor track

from undue intrusion by curious tourists.
Altogether he feels that the Rapidan
investment. which was made entirely
from his own purse, has been o huge
success. When he has as nextdoor
neighbors on the river bank the men
who are helping him to man the ship
Of state President Hoover feels that his
little patch of Dixie will be about as
near an earthly paradise as can be
found-possibly outside of California.

NAVSARI, India, April 26.-India's
Nationalist leader, Mohandas Kara
chand Gandhi, yesterday gave to the
Associated Press from his temporary
headquarters, where he is leading the
civil disobedience campaign against the
Indian government, a .definitive state
ment embodying the present aims and
grievances of Nationalist India.
The statement follows:
The National demand is not for the
immediate establishment of independ-
ence, but as preliminary step to con-
ference that must take place IL lnde-
pendence is to be established peacefully
and to remove certain prime grievances,
chiefly economic and moral. These are
set forth in the clearest possible terms
in my letter, miscalled an ultimatum,
to the viceroy.
Those grievances include the salt tax,
which in its incidence falls with equal
pressure upon the rich as well as poor,
and is over 1000 per cent of the cost
price. having been made a monopoly.
It has deprived tens of thousands OF
people of their supplementary occu-
pations, and the artif1cially heavy cost
Of salt has made 1t very difficult, If
not impossible, for poor people to give
enough salt to their cattle and to their
land. This unnatural monopoly Is sus-
tanned by laws which are only SO called,
but which are q denial of law. They
give arbitrary powers to police known
to be corrupt to lay their hands without
warrant on innocent people, to confis-
cate their property and otherwise mo-
lest them in hundred ways.
Caught Public Imagination.
Civil resistance against the salt laws
has caught the popular imagination as
nothing else has within my experience.
Hundreds OF thousands of people, IN
GLIDING women and children from many
villages, have participated In the open
manufacture and sale Of contraband
salt. This resistance has been answered
