Investigation probably will establish
as unavoidable" it was said today, the
accident in which a prominent Wash

when knocked to the tiled floor Of a
corridor outside the Senate Chamber by
a hurTying page.
Mrs. Macpherson Crichton, IT'S H

had gone with friends to take lunch
at the Capitol yesterday. She was
walking by the Senate Chamber when
violent collision occurred as 12-year-
old James Edward Witt issued sud-
denly from the Republican entrance.
Both Mrs. Crichton and the page
were thrown to the floor Bystanders
hurried to Mrs. Crichton's assistance
and summoned Senator Royal S. Cope

Mrs. Crichton spent an "uncomfort-
able" night last night. Doctors said
she suffered bad fracture of the left
hip, and was too i'll to discuss the
accident.
An informal investigation was started
by c. w. Jurney. Senate sergeant at
arms. Jurney said the page denied
he had been running, and this state
ment was corroborated by some wit
nesses it was said. Jurney said the
investigation so far indicated the acci-
dent was unavoidable. Young Witt

Measures to Boost D. c.
Levies Revived With Some
Revisions.
FOUR PROPOSALS FAILED
TO PASS LAST SESSION
Income, Inheritance, Auto-Weigh
and Higher Gasoline Assessments
Provided in Program.

The four so-called Mapes bills to
increase taxation in the District OF
Columbia, which were rushed through
the House in December, 1881, follow
ing a special investigation by COM
mittee into the fiscal relations OF the
District Of Columbia with the Federal
Government, were reintroduced IN the
House today.
Representative Mapes, Republican, OF
Michigan, who was chairman OF the
special committee, introduced three OF
these bills-for an income tax, Tor an
auto-weight tax and for an increase
to cents in the gasoline tax-Whlle
Representative Frear, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, introduced an inheritance
tax bill.
Referred to Committees.
When these bills we're passed by the
House in recrod- breaking time two
wears ago they were reported directly
by the special Mapes committee. the
life of that committee, however. has
expired, so the bills are now referred
to the regular legislative commlttee,
the House District Committee.
The Senate failed to take up any OF
these bills and only one OF them was
ever reported from the Senate com
mittee, and in that one the committee
reduced the proposed increase in the
gasoline tax. ,
TODAY some changes have been made on
recommendations of Assessor Richards,
to make evasion of the tax more oil
ficult.
Income Measure Revised.
Assessor Richards has also revised
the administrative features OF the IN
come tax bill so as to make ADJUST
nents of deductions relating to non
residents and distinguishing between
incomes earned in the District and
those earned outside the District. This
proposed income tax law would repeal
the Intangible property tax law.
In other respects, the Mapes bills,
as reintroduced today, are practically
the same as were reported two years
ago by the special committee.

non-military school trained young men
were presented at this mornings ses-
sion Of the twentieth annual meeting of
the Association Of Military Schools and
Colleges Of the United States at the Am
bassador Hotel.
Report Confidential.
While great part Of the report, pre-
sented by Col. c. R. Endsley of Tennes-
see Military Institute. was confidential,
1t was revealed that during the past
three years more military school trained
young men have been attending institu-
tions of higher learning than during the
period before the economic crisis.
This, it was explained, Is probably be-
cause parents Of many Of the youths re-

Retrenchment Efforts.
Members of the association were told
yesterday that public schools have been
so seriously affected by retrenchment
programs that opportunity Is afforded
the military schools to render educa-
tional service to thousands who ordi-
narily would be satisfied with the pub
lie schools.
Lieut.. Col. A. M Hitch, president of
the association, said in his opening ad-
dress, THE repression has hit us hard,
but it has hit private, non-military
schools almost as hard.
Referring to the public schools, he
cited school closures. shortened years,
increase in teachers work and decrease
in number of teachers, reduction in
their pay and elimination OF certain
courses.
In many ways" Col. Hitch con-
tinued, I'VE have a wonderful oppor-
tunity to step into an unfortunate
breach and render an educational serv-
ice to thousands who might ordinarily
be satisfied with what the public schools
had to offer"
Brig. Gen. Henry j. Reilly spoke on
the topic Activities of the Associated

vention.
