hits rich and poor alike, using the
fake phrases that Macdonald, the
British socialist, used when an at
tack was begun against the British
workers. Besides an increase in the
income tax, which hits mainly the
bourgeois and professionals, the
Hoover government proposes a spe-
cial tax which will hit all workers.
1t is proposed to tax all telephone
calls, theatre tickets over 10 cents,
cigarettes, radios. autos, monographs
and bank checks.
Big capitalists like Mellon himself,
who as treasurer of the United States
handed out billions in tax refunds,
are hardly touched in the tax in
creases, and the new income taxes
will be pressed heavily against the
petty bourgeois, especially those in
the $4,000 to $4,000 a year group.
While the income OF the United
States government for 1881 is sS,ooo.-
100000 and the expenditures $4,000
100000 no provision is made for I'M
employment relief.

VIRGINIA YIELDS
To C|TY'S LURE

The rural population is declin-
ing in Virginia at the rate of 8
per cent over a period of five
years, says a recent bulletin from
the department of agriculture
and immigration of Virginia.
Some counties in Virginia have
today a smaller population than
was shown in the first census
after their organization.
Various reasons are assigned
for this, according to editorial
comment and others giving con-
sideration. Notably, the industrial
trend in Virginia, the unrest fol
lowing the world war psycholog-
ical and actual, in that the youth
of the land were not willing to
follow in a beaten path, offering
scant monetary returns. the use
OF machinery and low prices limit

the time-worn lure of the city,

H. White, principal of the
Bladensburg High School, where
several of the children attend
classes, took the stand that the
less Said the better and that the
entire affair should be hushed up.
Clings To His Stand
He took the stand today as he
did when he was interviewed fol
lowing the raid that he partici-
pated in, that no good could pos
sibly come of warning parents
through the press that such cen
ditions existed among the school
children of the country.
Judge Morris and other civic
leaders. however, are taking the
view that the condition should
be exposed and every parent in
Maryland as we'll as the District
should be apprised of the facts,
and consequently take warning.
When the children we're taken
to the office of Judge Morris a
large crowd gathered on the
street and voiced threats against
anyone who might make an AT
tempt to either interview or pho
tOgraph any of the principals in
the case.
Those who were caught in th>
raid were not all students at the
Junior High School in Bladens-
burg. It is known that one boy
was from a Washington high
school, one from Hyattsville, and
young Sullivan was not attending
the. school at the time.
Many Others Included
Judge Morris declared that
many others are involved and
that their identities have been
established and all will be called
to, testify on Monday She limited
strongly that several men and
women of mature years may be-
come involved in the case as
well as several have been seen
at the Sullivan home in recent
weeks.
Forty boys and girls are said
to have taken part in rum parties
At the home at various times.
When the house was entered
yesterday by Sergt. Herbert
Machen and Superintendent
White, it is alleged that the
children, the oldest being 16,
were engaged in a revel.
Young Sullivan, who acted as
host, according to residents in
Cheverly. made an Intellectual
effort to escape and when ap-
pretended in the woods some dis
tance from his home declared
that the boys and girls had been
at his home last Saturday night
and came unlimited yesterday.
Andrew F. Gasch, constable of
the Second Prince Georges County
district, stated today that he had
been appealed to on several occa
sionS by the mother of one of the
girls involved in the case to watch
her. At that time he said that he
did what he could, but in view of
his manifold duties could not keep
an eye on all of the children at
the Junior High School.

orgies were being staged in the
Cheverly house, youngsters in the
community were cogniZant of
what was going on and made no
bones about discussing the mat
ter last night.
40 Present, Says Boy
One lad, who is not involved
in the affair, but who had re-
ceived several invitations to the
Sullivan home. said:
"Shucks, everybody knew
about the parties. / guess
there must be about 40 girls
and boys that have been there.
1 know that there were about
40 there last Saturday night
and that they had been going
there for the last four months"
The boys story was backed by
the statement of Constable GaSch,
who declared that he had arrested
the Sullivan boy on two occasions
for minor infractions of the law
and had heard rumors of the
parties. The house. he said, had
been visited several times but
no one had been found at home
Empty Bottles Litter Yard
Several neighbors declared that
while they we're diSguSted with
the alleged orgies in the Sullivan
house, they hesitated to say any,
thing about them until they
found that the participants were
merely children. Incidentally
they stated that after each party
empty liquor bottles were found
strewn about the rear yard Of
the house.
