Following Is the explanation Of
Ripley's Believe It or Not" which
appeared in Saturdays Times:
Edward Payson Weston Walked
1878 MiIes-Edward Payson Yves
ton wagered that he could walk
1000 miles in $50 hours of actual
'"alking time. Starting at the
loyal Exchange in London on
Jan. 10, 1879. he actually walked
1878 miles within the allotted
time, his itinerary covering thir-
ty-one counties. He lost his bet,
but nevertheless this feat is hailed
as one of the most remarkable in
the whole annals of pedestrian
ism. He mad failed to take into
account the dreadful condition of
the English turnpike roads, and
was compelled to plod through
snow, rain and mud all during his
famous walk.
Diamond Rock is Listed as a
Battleship-Diamond Rock, which
rises from the ocean off the
southwest corner OF Martinique to
sheer height of 600 feet, is reg
1stered in English Admiralty
books as His Majesty's battleship
Diamond Rock" This curious
listing of the rock is the English
governments tribute to the gall
lantry of Lieutenant James w.
Maurice, who, with 100 men, de-
tended the rock against a French
fleet in the war of 1903.

OFFICIALS STUDY
MAPES FINDINGS
Surprised, but Decline to Ex-
press Opinion Until Contents
Have Been Digested.

District officials today were taken by
surprise at the content of the report
OF the Mapes Committee and the bills
introduced in the House yesterday
on the committees recommendations
since the public hearings last June, no.
body at the District Building had heard
anything from the committee members
or It's experts until two days ago, when
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman
OF the Board of Commissioners, and
Cnarles A. Russell. deputy tax assessor,
were asked to look over few details
In one of the bills.
DR.. Reichelderfer said today he ex-
pected to be called on for an opinion
IN writing by Congress and that he
did not care to express any views at
this time
He admitted, however, he had formed
an opinion on the subject, but said he
mad not talked 1t over with his fellow
Commissioners.
William P. Richards, District tax as
SCISSOR, SAID he had not read the report
lie SAID the proposal to increase the
gasollne tax to cents per gallon had
his approval since 1t would raise more
revenue Tor expenditure on streets and,
IN his opinion, more revenue was
needed
He also expressed approval of the SUBJ
stltution of weight tax for automobile
licenses to replace the present personal
property tax, because the tax on We
hicles should be proportioned to the
damage they do to the streets.
He said the income tax was better
than one on Intangible personal prop
erty because it was easier on the poor
and harder on the rich.
AS TO the general proposition of de-
creasing the Federal contribution, which
seems to be the substance of the entire
MapeS program, he said that was a mat
ter of policy and it was the business of
the Commissioners and not the assessor
to comment on that.
District Auditor Daniel j. Donovan
also said he had read neither the report
nor the bills. He was busy reading the
report in the Congressional Record
when questioned on the subject.
Mr.. Donovan declined to express an
opinion in advance of reading the text
Of the important bills. At the open
hearings before the Mapes Committee
ldSC SuIIHleI, however, ne LOlQ tne com =
mittee he was in favor of Federal
contribution proportioned to the neces-
sity of maintaining a city worthy of
being the Nations Capital
At that time Maj. Donovan indcrsed
the proposition of the Bureau of
Efficiency later turned down by the
Mapes Committee, to establish the
Federal contribution on the basis of A
property tax on Federal property owned
in the District. He told the commit
tee that if in any other city of the
size of Washington $500 100000 worth
Of property were removed from the tax
books, there would soon be a howl"
from the taxpayers for assistance and
he felt such howl would be fully
justified
