ferred several years ago to the Bureau
Of Aeronautics. She was one of the
most popular employees of the bureau,
and was regarded by her Superiors as
above the average in ability. She was
rated as numbering clerk.
Miss Baker lived for two years at
the Evangeline Hotel, 1880 L street,
where she became acquainted with a
number Of young women working in the
Government departments.
The slain woman left the hotel here
March 81 to live in her new home at
Lyon Village.
The automobile was owned jointly
by the three girls, but the tags were
issued in the name Of Miss Baker.
Her Father Arrives.
Miss Baker was the daughter Of the
Rev. Thomas P. Baker, rector of ST.
Peters Episcopal Church at Oak
Grove, Va, 80 miles from Washington,
in Westmoreland County.
The minister, accompanied by Mrs
Baker and their 20-year-old daughter
Virginia, arrived here early last night
Baker, on the verge of collapse, was
taken Immediately to the home of
friends and up until an early hour this
morning. it is understood, she had not
been informed of her daughters fate.
Mr.. Baker Immediately went into
conference with police officials. After
being closeted at headquarters for more
than an hour, the minister left to view
the body at Clarendon. At police head
quarters, he told newspaper men that
when his daughter decided to buy the
automobile several months ago, he
warned her against 1t. He said that he
feared that she might encounter trouble.
He also said detectives thought a white
man had killed his daughter.
The Bakers have made Oak Grove
their home for about 10 years, going to
Virginia from Bennettsville, S. G. It
was shortly after the family moved to
Oak Grove that Miss Baker decided to
enter Government service here.
Crime on U. S. Property.
The Department Of Justice agents
were called into the case because the
murder is supposed to have been COM
mitted on a Federal reservation. Neither
Arlington County nor Virginia State au-
thoritieS have Jurisdiction in Federal
territory, even though it is within the
State boundaries.
After discovery Of the body by Ar
lington County police, the washington
Detective Bureau and the authorities at
Fort Myer were called into the case.
Later, when it was learned the crime
apparently was committed on Federal
territory, the Department of Justice was
notified and two agents dispatched to
take part in the investigation.

.7ARD|EU EFFECTS
HEAVY TAX CUTS
Is Doing for France What
Coolidge Did for United
BY LELAND STONE.

BY Radio TO The Star.
I PARIS, April 12.-What the Coolidge
administration did for the United
States, the Tardieu government Is now
doing for France. 1t cannot be done
on anything like the sweeping scale
effected In America between 1924 and
1928, but nevertheless the French effort
is an ambitious one.
For the first time since the World
War began. a considerable slice Is being
slashed from the French taxpayers
heavy burden. Before Easter the third
series of tax reductions since last No
vember will be voted by parliament
bringing the total reductions Of levies
upon industry and agriculture to s.
20o,000,o00 francs--slightly over $780,
100000.
The way for Tardieu's first and Sec
ond ministries to reduce taxes was
paved by Poincare's great financial re-
construction between 1926 and last
Summer, and to Poincare even more
than to the present premier must 60
the major credit.
Marks Return to Normally.
The emergence of France on a tax
reducing program Is significant, chiefly
as marking the real beginning of a
return to normally in France. The
immediate causes for the government
being able to slash taxes are an aston
ishing excess in tax receipts over the
budget estimates in the past two years
and the remarkably secure state of
the French treasury.
Again Poincare must be given credit,
for probably never in the history of
the republic have taxes been collected
SO assiduously as under the system
launched by him in the Autumn of
1925.
People Paid Record Taxes.
For the sake of saving the country
from bankruptcy, the French people
paid such taxes as they had never
paid before. Now their effort Is to
be repaid, with Parliament voting new
reductions totaling 100000 francs
beyond those already voted.
These new SlasheS will cut taxes on
stock exchange operations and on Sc
curittes, on transportation, foodstuffs
and luxury goods. The earlier reduc-
tons have been on earned incomes,
commercial enterprises and domestic
taxes.

And, if the road was built, graded, bridged and otherwise put in first class shape it would of fer no great inducement to traffic to turn off the highway already in place to reach a point in Berlin which the other road reaches. There is good road there now, with con- siderable traffic it is true, but a practical one nevertheless.
 South from Corbin avenue there is a dirt road, one turn of which goes to the Berlin station. another con- tinuing southerly to Meriden's west ern section. It would furnish, if paw cd, an admirable outlet to points in Meriden and below and would re- IltNe SOuLn -hdlQ street Ol SOlHe Ol the traffic which now comes through the city to get on that highway. It is much the more feasible proposi- tion that the Cat Hole Road be fixed up.
 As we understand 1t the city would be aided by the state to a great ex- tent in building either highway, pos sibly more so in the former case than the latter as the city has now paved roads to the town line, which it has not in the Ellis street case. The highway commission has the decision as to which road shall be fixed up, beyond the city limits at least. Citizens should not let the commission be misled by the pleas Of few.

Back-Seat Drivers R@ponSibil- ity Will Be Given Consideration

Washington, Sept. P-The su- preme court will have an opportu- nifty this fall to decide whether the automobile "back-seat driver" is legally bound to warn the man at the wheel of impending dangers.
 Among the great number of cases piled up during the summer recess of the court is one brought by insur- ance companies seeking to escape liability for damage in accidents which they believe might have been averted by automobile passengers.
 Other peculiar cases are before the court. It will be asked to de termine whether death from sun- stroke renders an insurance con- pany liable under an accident pol icy and whether blood poisoning. caused by the removal of hair from the nose is accidental death. Patent infringements suits covering a wide variety of subjects from ce- ment mixers to neckties are seeking reviews.

TENTING FOR THE SUMMER

An observer watching the stream of cars returning homeward from points along shore yesterday might quickly have come to the con elusion that he was watching q gypsy hegira owing to the large number of motor vehicles loaded to the gunwales with tents and camping equipment It seemed as If every third car. at least along the killingWorth road had a collection of tent poles, cot legs and fishing rods sticking out at every trunk racks and even the front mud guards carried bulky canvas bundles that could have been nothing but tents. Happy youngsters. well brown- ed capped an accumulation Of JunK in rumble seats and few cars even carried small boats on the tops or lashed to the sides.
 The world is atenting as well as awheel, going back to primitive ey- istence using the ultra modern auto- mobile to put itself in position 10 enjoy camping out. The public beaches probably accommodate most of the campers, though some may squat upon any stretch of deserted shore property. Hammonasset main rained by the state, furnishes an a9- mirabIe objective for many tent CTS, a fact which may easily have been ascertained by even the most cursory glance at the point on any day of the summer, other points, h. land as well, have their quota Of campers.
