ROCK CREEK
Times Staff Photos

Complaints that golfers at
Rock Greek have been compelled
to use a crowded course and
forced to drive off into other
golfers have been drawn to the
attention of the Office of Public
Buildings and Parks. An investi-
CATION into the matter is TO- be
conducted. .s.
Many golfers have complained
that they are forced by employees
Of the course to tee up and drive
off while other players are in
front of them on the same hole.
This, they say, is dangerous and
detracts from the game. They
claim the practice might bring
injury to some players.
Another complaint is that the
operators force players to play
it as a nine-hole course instead
of the full 18. Many players
have remarked that this is being
forced upon them only to make
them patronize a nearby refresh
ment stand.
Both types of complaints are
being scanned and a report is
expected to be submitted to Col.
U. S. Grant, 3rd.

BULLET TESTED
IN TAXI DEATH

Study of a bullet and a cart
ridge by Lieut.. John Fowler,
police ballistics expert, today may
reveal that the same gun which
was discharged in an attempted
store robbery on South Capitol
Street, was used in the murder
of Mamie Soloman, 32-year-old
cabman, Wednesday night.
The bullet was found in the
store after one of three cOlOred
bandits became frightened and
fired a wild shot. The cartridge,
for the same caliber pistol, was
found in the taxi cab at Sol.
Oman's feet. The bullet which
killed SOlOman has not been
found.
Detectives have learned the
whereabouts of Soloman up until
10:30 o'clock on the night of his
death. At that time he was driv-
ing toward his home in his cab.
They believe that the bandits
hailed him and directed him to
drive to Union and o Streets
Southwest, where they attempted
to rob the hacker. It is thought
possible that nervousness on the
part of the bandits caused the
firing of the fatal hot.

JURY ENDS QUIZ 10N[Y IS, BUT He
ON EXT0RT|ON TOTES A GUN

The Grand Jury today COM
pleted it's investigation into
charges of extortion against two
policemen who were arrested sew
eral days ago by Lieut.. Oscar j.
Letterman, who testified he saw
a colored bootlegger pay $40 to
the two while they were on duty.
Frank j. Hospidor and Edward
w. Gore, the accused policemen,
are said to have visited Frank
Adams, an alleged bootlegger, at
his home Tuesday night and to
have received marked bills for
hush money"
The Grand Jury will report the
result of its investigations early
next week.
The suspension of Gore and
Hospidor without pay was ap-
proved today by the District Com
misSionerS.

MANAGEMENT
by OUTSIDERS
HURTFUL
Washington and Georgetown
Firms May Not Realize
Proposition to Combine

Difficulties which the involved
ownership of the washington and
Georgetown gas light companies
have encountered have spelled
the death knell of hopes to merge
the two companies and give them
an increased capitalization, it was
indicated at the Capitol today.
Facing GriddIe
The companies had hoped to
push through legislation which
would enable them to sell addi-
tional stock and make needed
improvements in plant and equip
ment, but the tangled situation
presented by the new ownership
makes it virtually certain that
such a bill could not be passed
through Congress, and it may not
even be introduced.
Just about the time Congress
recOnvenes the company is ex-
pected to be in court defending
the sale of its stock to Chicago
interests against attack under
the La Toilette anti-merger law.
With the company on the de-
fenSive in court it would scarcely
be fOOlhardy enough to lay itself
open to further attack on the
floors Of Congress, according TO
those in touch with the local
utility situation.
Control Operation
The out-of-town owners of the
gas companies have not been con-
tent with merely taking profits
on their stock, it was pointed out,
but have insisted upon operating
control of the companies, thus
driving out of the corporation
many local men, and subiecting
the company to further attack.

TWO More Police
Under Suspension,
Pending Inquiry

Inspector William S. Shelby to
day announced that two more
policemen of the Fourth precinct
have been suspended. They are
Franklin r. Cue and Oscar L.
Fisher.
They will be called before the
trial board, Inspector Shelby said.
The basis of their suspension was
associated with persons of low
character, he said.
Several affidavits obtained by
police officials, Inspector Shelby
said. are of such nature that the
men could not be kept on the
force while investigation is made.
Asked if Fisher and Cue are in.
volved in the grating activities
charged to Hospidor and Gore, In
Spector Shelby said:
ut is not known how far they
are involved. The investigation
reached the point today where
we felt that they should be suS-
pended pending outcome of the
charges. The investigation into
their activities will be con-
tinued."

100000 DROP
IN D. c. TAXES
PREDICTED
Stock Market Crash Believed
BY Tax Assessor Aide to Be
Cause of Expected Decline

The District government stands
to lose approximately 100000, as
result of the slump in the stock
market.
This estimate was made today
by Assistant Tax Assessor Charles
A. Russell.
He believes stocks, bonds, mort
cages, and other securities, which
make up the bulk of intangible
personal property, as a whole are
worth One-third less than q year
ago.
How 1t Works Out
Last year the levy on intang-
ible personal property by the
government was $500,000. 900,
which netted the District $2,500,-
900 in taxes.
This year, according to Rus
sells estimates. the levy will be
about $340,000,0O0, and The tax
$1,7O0,O00, being 100000 less
than the amount collected last
year.
Even though today is the last
one for filing personal property
returns, the expected laSt-minute
crowd failed to make its appear
ance at the tax office, which will
be open until after S o'clock
today to take care of the late
corners.
$4,000 Should File
Approximately $4,000 schedules
have already been filed by per-
sonal property owners.
Officials estimate that $4,000
persons are subject to rhe tax.
Last year $4,000 filed returns.
Failure to file a return lays the
property owner open to a 20 per
cent penalty, following prOsecu-
tiOn in the District Supreme
Court, in addition to the original
tax.

Police Become Gears

Operations

Members Of the park police

monds, are acting as Judge
Landises" among the young

manship and loud talk of bad
nature are being eliminated
from the parks as a result of
their activities.
Policemen have been check
ing up on the baseball games.
Whenever any of the boys play
ing become "riled" and uses
language held objectional he is
barred from play for several
days as an object lesson.
Bad craftsmanship is treated
the same way.

Runaways Inspired by
Same Lure as
Columbus
"There are no bad children"

"There are no bad children"
Judge Kathryn Sellers, for 13
years judge of the District Juven-
lie court, is willing to admit there
are troublesome or irregular
children, but she declares that in
all the years she has been on the
bench she has never encountered
what she considered a bad boy or
girl.
Peering at you quizzically, she
asks what you mean by a bad
child"
Stealing! What is stealing
but the irregular acquisition of
property? Cut out the irregular
and its business" she says.
Children are natural. The
spirit that makes the little boy
turn in a false fire alarm is
the very same that makes US
run to the window to see the
engines go by. Only he makes
'em go by. It's all the same
principle fundamentally"
Children. the judge believes. are
much the same as adults. Only
little men and women.
Matter of Habit
Their badness is only a mat
ter of habit. Habits that must
be changed if they are to davelope
into law abiding citizens.

The District Commissioners to-
day definitely rejected the pro-
posal of the Bureau of Efficiency
to have shirts for members of the
police and fire departments manu-,
factured by convicts in the Dis
trict Reformatory at Lorton, Va.
A number of proposals from
manufacturer to make 1890
shirts were received by the COM
missioners. The contract was not
awarded, since shirt samples are
to be tested first at the Bureau of
Standards.
Commissioners awarded con-
tracts to several firms for furnish

P.U. c. To OPEN
DISCUSSION
Of RATES
Diamond Company Expected to
Keep Low Rates, Thus Bring
ing Up Question to Debate

With indication that the Public
. Utilities Commission will abandon
Its long-adhered-to contention for
meters on taxicabs, the commits
sion announced today it will meet
Tuesday to consider the tangled
taxicab situation.
The commission, it is under.
stood, unless thelG is a radical
change in conditions, at that time
will decide to hold hearing cover
ing the general rate scsseS of all
taxiCabs operating here.
Wait on Company
The commission originally had
planned to meet Monday, but has
postponed its meeting until the
following day. This will give the
commission an opportunity to
learn what action the board of
directors of the Diamond Cab
Company decides to take on the
peace pact" recently signed under
the leadership of Peoples Counsel
Richmond B. Keech.

agreement and it's board of direc
tors will decide Monday night
whether it will abide by that
agreement or will persist in its
present low rates, which are
below the schedule called for in
the agreement.
1t is expected the company will
dcEide to continue its present rate
and the commission will then
serve notice on all taxicab com
panieS that it will hold general
hearing on rates.
Will Change Stand
As a result Of these hearings,
1t is believed that the commits
sion intends to indorse the flat
system of charges and establish
uniform zones. This will be
quite a departure from the pre-
vious position of the commits
sion. which has been that all
cabs should be equipped with
meters.
When the commission deter
mines on a new rate provision
it is believed that they will also
contain a provision under which
meters could be used but these
will no longer be held to be es-
Sential.

Asked about the recent child
runaway case in Annapolis, in

some children have to put up
with at home.
Dad. Boys Hero
Judge Sellers believes so per
cent of the cases brought before
her can be traced directly to
broken homes. She believes the
boy or girl needs what she calls
dual care" and without both
parents the child must suffer in
its adjustment to life.
She says:
'T often tell men that there
is only one person to whom q
father can be a hero. His boy.
1 warn them that the child
has a natural right to look up
to his daddy and one of which
it is a crime to deprive him.
Children are keen. They sense
something wrong in the home
and that is the explanation Of
many Of our runaway cases."

of war is almost as bad.
