DEATH Of BON AIR
MAN MYSTERIOUS
Victim Dies 10 Minutes After
Reaching HospitaI-Found

speciaI Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, March 11.-Mystery sur
rounded the death in Georgetown Hos
pital last night of Earl T. Norris, 81,
after he was found unconscious on
Arlington avenue near his home in Bon
Air last night His skull was crushed.
He died about 10 minutes after his
arrival at the hospital.
Sheriff Howard B. Fields, expressed
the opinion that the man was beaten
and then thrown on to the road. In
addition to a broken skull, police say
that the man was severely cut about
the face and his eyes blackened and
swollen.
Police first believed the dead man
was the victim of a hit-and-run driver
or a hold-up. This theory was dis
carded however, when an inspection
of the body failed to disclose any marks
other than those on his head or any
damage to his clothing. Police believe
that had the man been struck by an
automobile his clothing would have
been torn and soiled through contact
with the machine and roadway.
The hold-up and robbery theory, too
has been practically abandoned as the
result of the finding of dollar bill and
some change in his pockets. This is
also borne out by the fact that Norris
wife told officers her husband was not
in the habit of carrying much money
on his person.
! Norris was discovered by Randolph
Biggs, a member of the Ballston Fire
| Department, while he and his wife were
| out riding in their car. He called the
| Fire Department rescue squad and
/ Norris was taken to the hospital in the
! squad truck.
! Norris was employed as shipping
clerk by a Washington laundry. His
/ widow is the only immediate survivor

PUBLIC APPEAL URGED
AGAINST THEATER TAX
Jobs of Hundreds of Actors De-
clared at Stake in Proposed
10 Per Cent Levy.

Maintaining that the proposed 10 per
cent Federal admission tax "is an unjust
discrimination, the National Alliance
of the Theatre, with headquarters in
New York City, today was circulating
letters appealing to the general public
to file protests with Congress
by doing this" the alliances letters
state, you will be helping hundreds of
actors, who have entertained you in
the past, from being thrown out Of
work"
The alliance contends that the theater
is facing the worst period in its history,
only 80 of 81 theaters in New York City
being opened at the present time and
only so per cent of actors are working
and many on part-time.
Despite the fact the theater has helped
to bolster up the morale of the Nation
during war and depression the alliance
stated, it has been singled out for a
10 per cent tax in the face of the facts
that all other industries are only to
be taxed 24 per cent through a gen.
eral manufacturers sales tax. The al
lance maintains that the theater is
willing to do its share, but 1t should not
be Disseminated against.
While it has been argued that the
public and not the theater will have to
pay the tax. the alliance asserts the
levy will still further reduce the num-
Der of patrons, and, as the result, will
succeed IN getting less money from the
theaters and thus defeat its own ends. }"

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 11.-Sena-
tor w. Worth Smith of Louisa yesterday
hastened to right the Northern Virginia
legislative apple cart" which he had
upset the night before without knowing
that the bill he killed in the Senate
Finance Committee was sponsored by
his brother, Representative Howard w.
Smith of the eighth district.
Recalled From Grave"
The bill in question, which was one
of the principal Northern Virginia
measures of the present session, pro-
vides for the creation of a commission
to settle the boundary line dispute be-
tween the District of Columbia and
Arlington County and was introduced
by Delegate Hugh Reid as companion
measure to a bill already introduced in
the House of Representatives by Repre-
sentative Smith. The Virginia measure
was recalled from the legislative grave"
yesterday and passed going to the
Governor for his signature.
On Wednesday night Delegate Reid
appeared before the Senate Finance
Committee to explain the bill, which al
ready had passed the House, but Sena-
tor Smith was not present during the
explanation.
He returned. however, Just as the
measure came up for a vote and opposed
it, claiming that everything is all quiet
a.3ng the Potomac now, so why stir up
anything?" He interpreted the bill as
an affront by the Federal Government
to seize some more of Virginia." and
so declared himself In no uncertain
terms.
AS result Of this opposition, the
committee voted to pass the bill by
indefinitely.
Has Measure Passed.
Yesterday, however. Senator Smith
was advised that he had killed his own
brothers bill and he hastened to make
amends by explaining the situation to
the Senate, after which he succeeded in
having the committee discharged from
further consideration, had the consti-
tutional readings dispensed with, and
the bill passed without opposition.
The bill provides for the creation Of
a commission composed Of one ap-
pointee by the Governor Of Virginia,
one by the President Of the United
States and the third member to be ap-
pointed by the first two. The commits
sion would be empowered to settle the
dispute once and for all.

DEARBORN POLICE
FACE RIOT TRIALS
Liberties Union to Prosecute
Officers in Shootings at
Ford Factory.

DETROIT. March 1.-THE Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union today made
plans to prosecute members of the
Dearborn police force for their part
in the riot at the Ford Motor Co. S
River Rouge factory Monday, in which
four persons were shot to death and
more than score wounded.
The proceedings will be under the
direction of Roger N. Baldwin of the
union, who arrived in Detroit last
night to investigate the case. The
union contemplates proceedings to fix
the responsibility for the shootings and
later suits for damages.
Baldwin attacked the Michigan law,
which fails to provide for charges
against officers who kill or wound per-
sons during riots. He said the law
was unconstitutional
THE Civil Liberties Union intends
to attack this law in the courts and,
If necessary, carry the fight on con-
stitutional grounds to the highest
court in the country" he said.
Officers in the Detroit police bal
listics bureau examined bullets and
guns belonging to Dearborn police in
an effort to determine who fired the
shots which killed the four persons.
Bullets from .38-caliber pistols were
taken from the bodies Wednesday.

New York. August 1.-(H-Somc
folks probably will say youngster
is being rushed along too fast, but
the fact remains that Benny Leonard
is about to be signed for bout with
Jack Fields, welterweight champion.
Benny, youth of 81, has created a
bit of sensation by winning 20
straight in these parts. Officials OF
Madison Square Garden evidently
feel he has shown enough to deserve
shot at the 147-pound title.
The former lightweight king agreed
Sunday to meet Fields in the Gar
den's Long Island bowl Sept. IL, and
all that was lacking Monday was
Fields acceptance. That probably
will be supplied by his manager, Jack
Kearns. when he confers with Gar
den officials here Tuesday. Kearns
was said to be agreeable.
