MZER DEATH AGAIN
DECLARED SUICIDE
Coroner's Jury Decides to Stand by
Original Verdict in
Monoxide Case.
(From Yesterdays 5:3o)

After an hours deliberation, the
same coroner's jury which returned a
suicide verdict last week in the case
of Harry D. Kizer, 53-year-old War De-
partment auditor, decided it would
stand by its original decision.
The jurors announced their verdict
following a second inquest which
Deputy Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid had ordered at the request of the
dead mans brother-in-law, William o,
Tufts, 1885 Madison street.
New evidence was presented in the
testimony of the widow, Mrs Grace S,
Kizer: her daughter Ruth. a student at
Central High School; c. H. Marshall,
secretary of the Board of Trustees OF
the Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church, of which the dead man was
treasurer. and an officer of the Wash
ington Board of Trade; Ben T. Web
ster, real estate dealer who also is a
member of the trade body, and Earl
Taggert, personnel chief in the gen.
eral accounting office.
Mrs. kizer and her daughter, VINO
were unable to appear at the first in
quest because of illness, told of finding
the Government employe lying uncon-
sciouS on the floor of the garage in the
basement of their home, 5702 Colorado
avenue. overcome by carbon monoxide
gas Marshall testified Kizer's accounts
as treasurer of the church were in "ex-
cellent order" and the other witnesses
described the dead man as capable,
honest and cheerful.
Under questioning by her attorney,
Milton Lehr. Mrs. kizer, who was yelled
and in mourning, declared her husband
acted peculiarly at breakfast the day
he was overcome. She accredited this
to the fact he had been suffering from
an Intestinal disorder and "at times
his mind seemed to wander"
The jury returned verdict of acci-
dental death in the case of John T.
King, SO. operator of the Highway
Bridge draw, who was fatally injured
early yesterday when struck by an au-
tomobile driven by Millard E. LaFon-
taine, 81, nephew of Jimmie" LaFon-
taine, Washington gambler. King, who
lived at 3708 New Hampshire avenue,
died at Emergency Hospital from a
fractured skull and other injuries a
short time after the accident

an income tax.
The life of this special committee
expires December 81 at midnight.
Representative Mapes in explaining
his view that this legislation does not
apply to members of Congress, but
only to resident of the District of
Columbia" pointed to section l in the
bill in confirmation of this contention
CThiS section provides that taxes will be
computed and levied by the District of
Columbia tax assessor) He also called
attention to questions asked him on
the floor by Representative Stafford,
Republican, Wisconsin, who said
Certainly, as the bill is drawn, with
this vague definition of the word per-
son. l think it could with consistency
be claimed that members of Congress
are subject to the payment of the in
come tax. Is it the purpose of the
committee to include members of Con-
greSs in the payment of the income tax
as provided in this bill?'
Mr.. Mapes replied: If any of them
lives in the District of Columbia but,
of course. none of them do"
Again Mr.. Stafford asked: DO we

Representative Blanton of Texas in
jected the observation, If the gentle
man will permit. certainly it would
not apply to member of Congress, be-
cause he lives in his own district and
is taxed in his own State"
When Mr.. Stafford insisted, Il am
serious in my presentation of this ques-
tlon," Mr.. Mapes quoted from the lam
guage of the bill. which he said, saws
that is hereby imposed upon every per-
son as herein defined residents of the

Lamont replied. Needless to say, it is
not true of my firm"
Senator Walsh, Democrat. of Massa-
chusettS, asked if the contracts for
these loans were submitted to the State
Department for approval
Not the contracts" Lamont replied
He added that President Harding in
1920 asked the banking houses to in
form the State Department of such ar
rangements and have the privilege of
intervening.
That practice has been followed. he
said.
Senator Couzens asked if the depart
ment had given an affirmative letter
in such cases.
They don't do it in an affirmative
form, he said They have done it
heretofore in the negative form"
Lamont added that the usual pro-
cedure was for the department to send
letter saying it had no objection.
Coercion Is Denied.
Lamont said Morgan & Co. had
f1oated loans of s2O8,25O0OO for Ger
many. The first loan was on October
IA, 1924, for S110,000,000.
Lamont described it as the Dawes
loan since it was in connection with
the Dawes reparations plan.
The second loan of 98.250 900 was on
June IL, 1880, in connection With the
Young reparations plan.
Germany has reduced these loans to
about $173,000,00O

Senator Bingham, Republican Con-
nectlcut, asked why such low rates Of
interest were allowed on the German
loans just after Germany had wiped out
its whole international debt by infla-
tion?"
The answer is" replied Lamont,
that these bonds constituted the un-

the German government. payable in
gold dollars without any ifs or ands.
Germany has been placed on a gold

now, any reason to question the good

Lamont had said the first German is

The decrease in railway profits, men,
bers of the German delegation said,
clearly shows an inability to continue
unconditional as we'll as conditional
reparat1on payments
The subcommittees findings on the
German trade balance were not pub
llshed. These figures should establish
Germany's net debt.
Budget Expenses Increase.
Germany's budgetary expenses increas-
ed by $3.50 900 between 1926 and
1929 the committee reported last night.
About s375, 100000 of this resulted
from increases in the salaries of public
servants granted in 1927, the experts
| found
The statistics were contained in a
report of the subcommittee on German
budgetary practices.
Ihe salary increases brought the pay
| or lesser functionaires to the level of
1913. the communique explained.
Other items contributing to the in
crease IN budgetary expenses included
| unemployment insurance of $3.50, ,000,-
O0O reparations, $125,000,000; various
SITS 100000.
The communique revealed that the
financial relationship between the
i Reich and federal states was discussed
by the subcommittee as we'll as recent
measures increasing the sums the fed
eral states received from the central
government.
The subcommittee, headed by Hend-
ryk Colijan of Holland, also went into
the cost of education and the practice
OF subsidizing housing enterprises from
public funds. In addition, the investi-
gators inquired into the growth of pub
, lie debts in general
Germany's recent attempts to balance
the budget by drastic economies were
lauded in the report. The experts
agreed that Germany was right in at
taching Importance to providing with
out delay for the foreign reduction of
! the floating debt caused by past budget
airy deficits, despite the heavy burden
this imposes during the crisis.
Foreign Holdings Undetermined.
The conmunique confirmed previous
reports that another subcommittee
headed by Maurice Frere Of Belgium,
had found It impossible to determine the
exact total of German holdings abroad.
The subcommittee refrained," the
statement said, from setting the total
Of holdings abroad, but indicated that
$2,100, 100000, as of July 81, 1891, was
reasonable figure.
