SEARCH FOR COE
PROVES FUTILE
Missing Laundryman Be-
Iieved to Have Been Robbed
and Beaten.

Police and friends today were con-
tinuing their unsuccessful search for
Joseph E. Coe, 28-year-old superintend-
ent of the Home Laundry, of 1922 Mon
roe street northeast, who disappeared
mysteriously Saturday night after at
tending wedding at the Fourth Pres
byterian Church.
A former employee of the laundry,
James Mason, of the 1000 block Mon
tello avenue northeast, told police yes
terday afternoon that he saw Coe driv-
ing toward Washington on the Bladens-
burg road Sunday, but renewed hunt
last night failed to bring any further
developments.
The wife, who is visiting her brother,
s. w. Dulcett at Annapolis, told police
she received telephone call from her
husband about $3.50 o'clock Saturday
night and that he promised to come
direct to Annapolis to see her, but never
appeared.
A hunt of the road between Wash
ington and Annapolis was made by
fellow employees of the laundry, but no
trace of the man could be found. Rela-
tives and business associates had ex-
pressed the belief that the man had
been given a "lift" and was probably
robbed and beaten. He had 500 with
him Saturday night.

WATER CONSUMERS
TO GET BILLS SOON
Tardy Appropriation Measure Pas
sage Delays Date of
Mailing.

District water consumers, many of
whom have not yet received their bill
for this year, will receive their bills in
the course of the next fewsdays.
The delay was caused by the lateneSs
of the passage of the District appro-
priation bill, carrying with it an in
crease in the water rates. Normally
the bills for unmetered water service
are mailed out in July and are payable
in August.
No bills were mailed in July, but the
staff of the water registers office is
working on them now and 1t is expected
that most of them will be in the hands
of consumers this month.
The new rate for the unmetered water
service Is $685. per annum, payable In
advance, for buildings of one or two
stories in height and not more than
10 feet frontage. An extra story in
creases the bill by one-third and there
are extra charges in the case of houses
with frontage greater than 16 feet.
Meanwhile. the rush of taxpayers
making out personal tax returns in the
last days of July was so great that
the returns have not yet been tabulated
apd 1t is impossible to tell the number
OF persons filing returns, according to
Deputy Tax Assessor Charles Russell.
On July 20. 80 and 81 his Office was so
crowded that 1t was necessary for him
to take his clerks of the calculating
work and put them on the counter
waiting on customers. The tabulation
Is expected to be completed by next
Saturday.
Immediately after the returns have
been tabulated some effort will be made
to use the new law under which tax
payers failing to file returns on per-
sonal property can be compelled to do
so by mandamus proceedings in Dis
trict Supreme Court.
The penalty for failure to file during
July Is the addition of 20 per cent of
the assessment. The tax Is computed

VOTE LIGHT IN FAIRFAX.

County yesteros. east 1,105 ballots Tor
Howard Smith of Alexandria. 933 for
Thomas Keith of Fairfax, 428 for Frank
Ball of Clarendon and AZ for CrandaH
Mackey of Rosslyn. The unofficial rec
ord, with % of the IS precincts ac-
counted for, failed to show any votes for
z H. De Jarnette of Orange.
The vote was lighter than had been
expected, at least 1,500 qualified voters
failing TO go TO the polls. Keith carried
his home precinct al Fairfax Court
House by a large majority in spite OF
the fact that practically every county
official was pledged to Smith before
Keith's candidacy was announced.
It is conceded that the last-minute
attack on Balls support OF the child
labor amendment hurt him with the
county's farmers, who were not well in
formed as to the real issue there. The
support of David Hepburn and the
Anti-Saloon League also worked no
benefit to Ball in Fairfax County. Mac
KEYS attacks of Keith as a power trust
lawyer, while not helping himself, did
harm to Keith's candidacy.
The voting was quiet, the only chal-
lenges in the county, so far as known,
being at Vienna, where number OF
so-called Brown supporters were ques-
toned. However as Pollard only re-
ceiyed 81 votes at Vienna precinct last
Fall and as 214 votes were polled there

CHARGE OF so CENTS
Start Is Delayed Until Machines
and Drivers Can Meet Police

WaShingtons taxicab rate war, which
followed the advent of the 35-cent fiat
rate service, Is to be further intensified
it was predicted today by traffic officials
upon receipt of reports that new COM
pany Is to begin operation in few days
offering new type of service at low
rate.
The new service, it was said, is to be
modelled after the nickel-for -third-of-
a-mile rate, introduced several weeks
ago to combat the 35-cent dat rate op-
erations in the city proper. The COM
pany, however, Is planning to go a step
further and establish maximum rate
Of so cents for the entire District. In
other words, no fare will exceed SO cents
to any point in the District.
New Cabs Arrive.
A fleet of 200 of the new cabs, &C.
cording to traffic officials, came into
Washington late yesterday from Hagers-
town. Md. and are being conditioned
for their debut. Six of them were
ready for service this morning, but
Sergt. Joseph Harrington, hack in
Spector, would approve application for
tags for only three of them, rejecting
the other three because of mechanical
defects of the cabs.
Under a new system adopted about
a month ago. tags for public vehicles
are not issued until the Traffic Bureau
testing station passes on the mechani-
cal condition of the cars and Sergt.
Harrington investigates and approves
the character of both the driver and
the owner. Some delay is anticipated,
therefore. in putting the 200 new cabs
into service.
Need Garage Space.
Unless garage facilities are provided
for the 200 new taxis the operator may
also be faced with considerable diff
Guilty in starting the new venture.
Sergt. Harrington said the new pro-
cedure adopted for issuance of tags to
public vehicles prevents the licensing
Of more vehicles than can actually be
accommodated in the owners garage.
A report prepared by Sergt Har-
rington shows that 2,453 taxicabs are
now in operation in the District, 1853
more than at the same time last year.
The increase is due, he said, to the rate
war.
Since July Sergt. Harrington has
received 498 applications for license
to operate a taxicab. Two hundred
were rejected, $50 because the appli-
cants were unfamiliar with Washington
and so because of questionable character.
