SON|SSHOT

Harvey Sheets, iron worker of
Point of Rocks, Md, who has
been employed on a local con-
struction job, today left to be
at the bedside of his eighteen
year-old son, Thomas, who is in a

injured.
The boy is suffering with a
bullet wound in his back. He was
shot December IA as he was pick
ing coal on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad right-ofway. Frank
Magaha, railway policeman who
shot the boy, denies he intended
to hit the boy, claiming he
stumbled as he fired the shot.
The elder Sheets, employed on
a Federal building project here,
was unaware of his sons injury
until notified by friends who had
read newspaper accounts of the
shooting.
Maryland officials are investi-
eating the shooting as we'll as
reports that Magaha shot at a
group of boys who were picking
coal a week before young Sheets
was injured.

SEN. KING HITS
SITE COSTS

Charges that the Government
had been robbed of millions of
dollars in the purchase of public
building sites in the District were
made by Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, at a hearing of the
Senate Misunderstanding sub
committee today.
Senator Kings accusations were
made following the testimony of
Tax Assessor William P. Richards,
who said that in many instances
the Government had paid more
than twice the assessed valua-
ton of property and on pur-
chasing the site for the U. S.
Supreme Court Building had paid
30 per cent more than the assess
ment.
In the purchase of the Union
Station site Richards said the
cost to the Government was al
most double the assessed value.
Following Richards testimony
King said that it was apparent
that the Government had been
mulcted of millions of dollars.
The hearing of the sub-com-
mlttee this morning was devoted
principally to Richards testi-
mony regarding assessments on
Ditrict propertie.
He adved the committee that
in the peiod from 1915 to 1929
District rents had increased 81
per cent in comparison with an
80 per cent increase in construc-
ton costs.

hearings tomorrow morning at
