DETROIT GANG WARFARE
BLAMED FOR SHOOTING
Admitted Beer Runner Critically
Wounded in Lobby of Chicago

CHICAGO, August 80 - Warfare
among rival Detroit gangsters was be-

PER CAPITA TAXES
ARE SOARING HERE
Present Course of Appropria-
ton Bills Shows No In
dication of Let-up.

The per capita tax burden in the
District is increasing by leaps and
bounds. figures available at the District
Building show. In 10 years it has more
than doubled In 20 years 1t has more
than tripled. The present course OF
appropriate ton bills bears no indication
OF any let-up.
The figures from which these state
ments are drawn are the annual coll
lections as reported by the collector
OF Taxes, which represent dollars paid
in by taxed and licensed citizens, and
include nothing by way of contribu-
tons from the Federal Government.
These are divided by the population of
the city as counted by the Census Blu
.reau each decade and as estimated dur
ing intervening flye-year periods.
During the past fiscal year the tax
collector took in $34 ,276.25 in cash.
The Census Bureau reported a popu-
lation of 486,869. Dividing the first
figure by the second, the conclusion Is
that for each man. woman and child
in the District during the past fiscal
year the sum of ST. was paid to the
District in taxes. The same ngure Tor
1920 was $29.31, and for 1910, $22.30.
Taking the average family as consist
ing of FIVE persons, 1t can be seen that
for each family in the District during
the past fiscal year the sum of $358.O5
was paid in to the collector of taxes.
Although the per capita burden has
been soaring Of recent years. there were
times in the earlier history of the city
when the burden was actually declining.
In 1890 1t was $3.50 per capita. and
in 1895 this rose to $l8,63. Apparently
the city heads then decided to cut
down. as in 1900 1t had been reduced
to 1850 and by 1905 it had only gone
up to 1892. still less than In 1895. The
table appended shows that from that
time it has risen steadily, and that the
rate Of increase has stepped up con-
siderablv of late bars.

OFFICIALS SUPPORT
REPORT ON ANDREE
Responsible Persons Answer
RumorS That Message of
Discovery Is Untrue.
BY ths Associated Press.


TRoMsoE, Norway, August 29.-Re-
ports published in other countries, to
the effect that Capt. Gustav Jensen's
story Of the discoveries of the Andree
Arctic Expedition on White Islands by
DR.. Gunnar Horn was untrue, and
that Jensen admitted It, met with wide
spread and indignant denials in all
quarters OF Norway today.
Government officials and other re-
sponsible persons quickly expressed their
belief in Jensen, and several concrete
proofs were rendered.
A. Sivertsen, owner of the sealing
vessel Terningen, which Capt, Jensen
commands, declared that Jensen was
thoroughly reliable and that the message
which ne brought back from DR.. Horn,
telling OF the finding Andree's party,
bore Horns own signature.
Jensen shows His Log.
Jensen himself showed the Associated
Press his log, telling of meeting the
sealer Bratyaag carryir the Horn Elk
petition. and Herr Krane, partner Of
Siyertsen. said Capt. Jensen told him
that the find had been made and that
the original message from DR.. Horn
telling Of the discovery had been de-
livered to British Vice Consul Saether.

the Spitzbergen mission Office In Oslo,
which backed DR.. Horn, and one to
Horns aged mother in Oslo-were taken
as additional proof OF Capt. Jensens
