Famous Swimmer
Fails To Qualify

CINCINNATI, O., July ID. UP)
Duke Kahanamoku, one of the
greatest swimmers of all time, has
failed to qualify for his fourth
United States Olympic swimming
team because advancing years sap
ped the power from his famous
Hawaiian crawl
But, guess It's all right. I'm
not as young as 1 used to be-" the
42-year-old Hawaiian said last
night after he had been beaten in
qualifying heat of the 1OO-meters
free style trials by two college
youngsters. They hadn't been born
when The Duke first amazed the
world with his -shattering
speed.
He finished third in the fourth
heat yesterday, trailing Arthur
Highland of Northwestern Univer-
sity and Ogden Dalrymple from the
University of Michigan.
In 1912, Kahanamoku won the

LOCALS DEFEAT
REDLANDS TEAM
IN CLOSE GAME

A highly touted but much cha
grined Redlands baseball team
went back north last night suffer-
ing under the stigma of a l to .
defeat by the Imperial Valley ALL
Stars in another classic that estab-
lished night ball here on a par if
not above that played in the
mountain league.
Fer eight innings the teams
battled scoreless, although the val
ley players threatened several
times. Each time Spottswood, Red
lands hurling ace, tightened up and
turned back the threat.
In the ninth canto, however.
Hurst was safe on questionable
decision at first base. 1t appeared
from most angles that the runner
was out. and even Umpire Doc
Palmer believed this to be so.
The decision, however, gave the
Al-Stars the winning run, when
Hammerslaugh doubled, sending
Hurst to third, and Spottswood
walked Jepway. With the count
two and two on Humphrey, the
Redlands hurler let a wild pitch go
over the back stop, and Hurst
scored.
In spite of the questionable de-
cision, however, it is probable the
All-Stars would have emerged vic
torious, for the ninth inning saw
the bases loaded and no outs.
Hurst again proved himself one
of the best indoor pitchers in
Southern California when he held
the visitors to three hits, two less
than Spottswood gave. Hurst
famed 16 men and did not allow
two visitors on bases at one time.
Hammerslaugh's double and one
by Sherman of Redlands were the
only extra base hits of the contest.

Omitted States Marines were first

The country meanwhile is quiet The
last contact between National Guard
and Sandino groups occurred Sunday
in the form OF 15-minute skirmish

slain and three captured. There were
no Guard casualties.
The newspaper La Noticia today pub

We have compiled q partial list Of

D. c. TAX REVISION
I SEEN BY CAPPER
Says He Sees Some Merits in
Complaints of Real Es-
tate Interests.

Chairman Capper of the Senate Dis
trict Committee today listed considera-
tlon of pending bills relating to Dis
trict taxation and fiscal relations Is
important local matters that will make
the coming session Of Congress . busy
one.
The District chairman indicated he
expects the rent investigation now GO
ing on TO result In some legislation. The
Senator discussed the relation Of real
estate taxation to rents. Referring to
this subject, and to the Mapes bills
which are still pending in the Senate
Committee, his statement continued:
In fairness to the real estate in
terests of Washington. want to say
that their repeated complaint about
high taxes on real estate here has some
merit in 1t. do not believe that taxes
are solely respoi.>ble for high rents in
this city. I think some OF the rents
charged here are out of all reason, and
surely do not reflect the reductions in
other items Of living costs.
Revision Proposed.
The question Of real estate taxation
is intimately connected with the bills
now before our committee, which pro-
pose o pretty thorough revision of the
local taxation program. They are the
five bills which came to us from the
House Of Representatives, where they
originated with the Mapes Committee.
During the last session our COM
mittee held hearings on four Of these
bills They covered the subjects of
estate taxes, 4-cent gasoline tax. an
automobile weight tax and an income
tax On each of these the commit
tee had received an interesting analyti-
cal report from the United States Bu-
reau of Efficiency.
The bureau, understand, intends to
report soon on the fifth Of the Mapes
bills. This is the bill which would
abolish the 60-40 fiscal relationship be-
tween the United States and the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The committees
consideration OF this proposal will opep
vide the whole. involved question OF
District taxation.
Urges Early Action.
ut will be remembered that after
hearing some Of the testimony on the
income-tax bill at the last session,
introduced bill looking toward a more
equitable contribution in taxes to the
District from public utility corporations
and other business enterprises. ! think
oAAoeAo Ao'C aA CaLy HedlAAk ou lllS
bill and report 1t to the Senate for pas
sage.
One object Of these bills Is to broaden
the tax base of the District. At this
time the tax burden Of the city Is
carried In large measure by real estate,
with very few other avenues OF revenue.
As the needs Of the District grow, they
must be met by increased appropria-
tions. Under the existing plan Of taxa
ton such increases must be met by
higher taxes on the real estate owners
in Washington. Obviously there Is
point beyond which it would be unwise
to 60 in increasing taxes on real estate.
And IL other sources OF local taxation
dwindle, 1t Is apparent that we must
look for new ways In which to raise
money for the operations Of the Dis
trict government"
