$4,000 Found in Vaults OF
Washington Loan &
Trust Co.
INVESTORS LOSSES
MAY BE CUT $4,000
Insurance Company Disclosed ~
Purchaser of Remaining Por-
ton of Lost Notes.

The mystery of the notes missing
from the vaults Of Swartzell, Rheem
d HenSey Co. was cleared up today By
the trustees of the bankrupt firm, who
revealed that. in addition to those
already reported, notes aggregatine in
value approximately $4,000 are gone.
They expect to recover about $50 900
worth of these
It has already been brought out that
$4,000 in notes were removed from
the vaults and placed with the Wash
ington Loan g. Trust Co. by Edmund
ID. Rheem, former vice president in
connection with loan from his
fathers estate. Rheem and the other
heirs under the estate have consented
TO the return of these notes.
therefore, the trustees believe, Swart-
zell, Rheem & Hensey Co. investors face
q loss OF only about $4,000 as the re-
suit OF the removal of mites left bv
them with the company for safekeep-
ing.
$50,00O Notes in Bank.
OF the 100000 additional notes miss
ing, 1t was learned today, approxi-
mately $4,000 worth are held by the
washington Loan l. Trust Co. All Of
these notes, 1t is said, were turned over
to the bank by Rheem as substitute col
lateral for released notes securing loans
mace on various estates being handled
by the bank. One of the estates is that

are held by local life insurance COM
pany;. 1t is understood that after study
ing the case the trustees have reached
the concMsion that the life insurance
company bought the notes as an inno-
cent purchaser and that they cannot
be recovered by the original owners
II was said the insurance company was
owed money by Swartzell, Rheem a.

payment, the insurance company tnen

Although this is an unusual TRANSACT
ton, it was said, the system has been
adhered to for many years by the mort
gage firm.
Owners May Get Notes.
1t is believed the owners of the notes
placed with the Washington Loan a.
trust Co, may be able TO recover their
holdings. 1t was pointed out that, un-
der the law, the original releases placed
as security for the loans, are not re-
coverable, but that the notes subse-
quently placed with the bank to replace
these may be held by the courts TO ba
the property of the original owners.
1t was said that all of the estates
holding these notes through the bank
have refused to return them and that
legal steps must be taken to determine
the right of the original owners to their
possession. A considerable number of
these notes, it was understood, was

suited in the return of the indictments.

Characterizing the Womans' Universal
Alliance as a mere financial venture,
Mrs Emile Noble today insisted the de-
fendants were innocent at the black

three other persons in District Supreme

clared she never had intended the al
lance should actually build mothers

Noble added Mrs. Calhoun said the only
reason she wanted q design for such
a memorial was In order that money

Goldstein also failed in an effort to
draw from Mrs. Noble the statement
that there had been q disagreement be-
tween the defendants shortly before
their arrest concerning who should re-
ceiye a $4,000 check signed by Capt.
Calhoun, and contended by the Gov
ernment 10 have represented blackmail.
She said that instead OF the various
defendants insisting on gaining poses
sion OF the check they had argued they
were not entitled TO it.
James F. Bird, another defendant,
followed Mrs Noble TO the stand. Ques-
tioning by Charles w. Arth brought out
that Bird had studied at George Wash
ington University and the University
OF Maryland; that he served in the
American Expeditionary Forces during
the World War, has . wife and two sons
and was admitted to the bar in October,
1923. He said he began practicing law

WATER BILLS RISE
IN THE NORTHWEST
Drouth, Leaks and Refrig-
orators Result in Heavy
Cost to Consumers.

Approximately so per cent OF the
water bills sent out this week to con-
sumers in the Northwest section are in
excess of the minimum ss75 charge. 1t
was disclosed today at the Water De-
partment.
The high bills, according to E. H.
Grove, water registrar, are due largely
to excess consumption during the un-
precedented drought last Summer and
Fall although the investigation has
shown that in some instances mechani-
cal refrigeratorS that use water. and
leaks in home fixtures, contributed to
the increase.
Bills are being sent out at this time
only to the $4,000 consumers In what
the Water Department describes as the
northwest county area-the entire
northwest section north Of Florida ave-
nue.. with the exception of Georgetown
These bills are for the year ending
April 80. last.
Other Bills Due Later.
other sections Of the District re-
ceive bills at difierent periods. Those
for the northwest city area, the section
south of Florida avenue, are sent out
October 81; those for the northeast.
January 81, and those for the southeast
and southwest, July 81.
Ordinarily, Mr.. Grove said, about 80
per cent of the consumers in the north
west county area pay an excess, but
when the number doubled this year, he
had a special investigation made in an
effort to determine the cause. This
check up, he said, revealed many leaks
in fixtures which were wasting water.
uyh q
ing mechanical refrigerators OF the type
that use water had not given considera-
tion to the fact these boxes alcne con-
sumo on an average more water in a
year than the $500 cubic feet allowed
for $8.75. Moreover. Mr.. Grove de-
clared many of the consumers in this
northwest area have large lawns and
undoubtedly used a large quantity for
sprinkling during the dry spell last
year.
Use "a Cubic Feet a Day.
The mechanical refrigerators. Mr..
Grove said. when operating at maximum
efficiency, will use about "a cubic feet
of water a day, but his investigation
showed that a number of them con-
sumed as much as AZ cubic feet a day,
which would run the consumption for
the refrigerators alone beyond $4,000
CUBIC feet year. or more Cnan double
the amount allowed for $875. Water
used in excess of the $500 cubic feet
minimum is charged for at the rate Z
cents per 100 cubic feet.
Mr. Grove explained the normal do
meStic consumption in Washington av-
erages about l0,500 cubic feet a year,
which would make the average bill
about Sl085
A number OF complaints over the high
bills already have been made at the
Water Department. but many of these.
Mr.. Grove said, came from consumers
who overlooked the fact water rates
were increased last July / from 1886
to $875,

taxation conference to consider prob

mended to the directors of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards today
by the executive secretary, Herbert U.
Nelson of Chicago
More than 1,400 tax bills were intro
duced In A States this year, says the
report. 1t suggested that State and
municipal governments be represented
at the conference, which Nelson said
should be called by President Hoover to
work out a. program of coordination.
A new long term credit system pro-
viding. for financing home ownership
transaction over periods of Is to 18
years. also was recommended for the
approval of the directors. Nelson said
the system should be comprehensive
enough to serve large and small banks
and trust companies, discounting their
mortgages.
Easier Financing Sought.
Such a plan. he said. would make
homecoming easier, make all real estate
more liquid, create a sounder and less
costly second-mortgage structure and
establish form of banking control over
real estate credit which would result in
sound appraisals"

to complete payment in that time, says
the report, and points out the hazards
of finding new financing in mid
