 the present city charter.
 The charter reads that the year after a deficit occurs tho officials shhli cause to bs placed in the budget a deficiency item to cover tho full amount. Tho amendment would permit this deficiency item to be held over for two years and thus decrease 1t which in turn would mean n lower tax rate.
 As Mayor Hayes pointed out a' the hearing today taxes come II slowly these days and hence 1t i' natural to delay hppr0printing foi fl deficit until more time has beer given to reduce 1t by back taxes. Tho hearing lasted only fifteen minutes and was presided over ps Senator Joseph y. C0oncy Of Hart ford. Edward Udelowitz,, record ing secretary of tho Wnterbnr, Taxpayer's League, stated in wa terbury this morning that neither he nor his organization intended h oppose tho bill.

 Secretary of Navy Swanson said tho navy's official policy on future dirigibIe operations could not be determined until after tho inquiry. but hs expressed doubt ns to theif value.
 T have never been as enthusi. astic AS some people are over air ships," the secretary said. T think they are very vulnerable" Rear Admiral William Moffetf, chief of tho bureau of her0nautics would have been the nirships' most vigorous defender against the "desp sea" mdmIrals who consider dirigibIes imprnticnble, but he went down with tho craft that was the pride of his air fleet.
 Swanson promised that the Ak ron's sister ship, the Macon. now nearing completion at Akron, O.. would be given fl doubly thorough inspection before being put into service.
 When 1t takes the skies. 1t will be the nnvy's only dirigible. The Akron has gone the way Of the Shenandoah in 1925, and the army's Roma in 1929. The veter- an Los Angeles, obsolete nnd decomrnissioned, is to be sold.
 Swanson said the navy probably would adhere tO its plan to assign the Macon to the west coast, where the most of the U. B. feet Is sta- tioned. A manEar has been built for her at BunnyvAie, Calf.
 The secretary considered t pos- sibie that the Lakshurst, N. J., hir station, the Akron's gloom -shr0ud- cd home base, might be abandoned
 "There would Do no special use for the field unless something were built for 1t to operate with." he said.

Indians Well Skilled
in Art of Trepannine

Surgery, in at least one form. was
an advanced art in the New world
before the coming of Columbus. This,
was the operation for wounds in the
skull, known as trephinng. Such is
the conclusion of DIR. Ales Hrdlicka
curator of physical anthropology of
the Smithsonian institution from an:
intensive study of the "trepanned"
skulls in the National museum collec
tiOnS. In the Andes. he says. there
were skilled specialists in this line.

corpses and then operated with eX-
treme boldness and rather Uniform
success on the living. For the most
part they were surgeons attending ~
the wounded after a battle. Doctor
Hrdlicka believes that the beginnings
of this surgical art may have been

original migrants and that ii con

"Mad Anne" Bailey

"MAD" she was this husky
AVA woman eccentric, Who lived
to be eighty-two with lust for re-
venge in her stout heart and donned
mans clothes to right her wrong
In a mans way. For even in the
lusty days of the late Eighteenth
century, when the mountains of
Virginia were still frontier and
harbored hostile Indians, no sane
woman deserted her infant to live
alone a mans life. and start her
own private collection of Indian
scalps.
The madness" first descended
upon Anne Bailey. then Anne Trot-
ter, when her young husband fell
victim to Indian cruelty at the
Battle of Point Pleasant. She was
but twenty-three at the time. and
only ten years behind her was the
safe. city life of Liverpool. Eng
land, where she was born. When
the news reached her. she was like
one possessed. She turned her baby
boy over to a kindly neighbor. dis
carded her soft woman's clothes for
trousers and hunting shirt, shOul-
dered a gun and, with her horse,
Liverpool. turned her back upon her
home In Staunton. Thereafter, as
Mad Anne" she lived alone In a
hut built with her own hands on
the ridge of Covington mountain
in Allegheny county. From this
vantage spot she watched the
movements of the Indians In the
surrounding countryside.
Her most famous deed occurred
at Fort Lee near Charleston, W.
Va. in 1892. when Anne was forty
nine years old. Here. for safety
during an Indian attack, had gath
cred the settlers from the sur
rounding territory. The siege was
q long one. and the powder supply
had given out. Mad Anne" volun-
teered aid Mounting Liverpool she
rode out, In full view of the at
tacking Indians, then spurring the
horse into headlong speed. she flew
past their lines, onto Fort Union,
now Lewisburg, where she secured
powder and an extra horse. She
returned, savior of the fort.
In middle age Anne married John
Bailey. a frontiersman. But she
remained the man" of the house
hold. and in her latter years, a
hard drinking. swearing man." of
whom the local Indians stood In
awe. AS an old woman she moved
to cottage on the property of her
son, grown to manhood and afflu-
ence. She refused to share his
house. Today a bronze marker on
the highway between Hot Springs
and Covington signifies the regard
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution for Mad Anne" Bailey.

Hannah Dustin
4 WHITE woman who beat tn
1 4 Indians at their own game

a WHITE woman who beat the
Indians at their own game:
that was Hannah Dustinl
In 1897 the little outpost of Hav-
erhill, Mass, was still a frontier
settlement, exposed to the terrible
dangers of privation and indian at
tack. Here lived the hardy young
farmer Thomas Dustin with Han
nah, his wife. and their eight chill
dren. the youngest a babe In arms.
One night in March, while Thomas
and the seven older children were
absent from home, a band of ma
rauding red men broke into his
home. captured his wife, their baby
and Mrs. Mary Nefr, a nurse. A
tiny baby is nuisance on q long,
arduous march through the wilder
ness. SO the baby was killed be
fore its mothers eyes before they
left the village. The two women
the Indians marched a three days
journey through the forest to their
camp. They were placed together
with little Samuel Leonardson, an
English boy captured some weeks
before at Worcester, in the care of
an Indian family consisting of two
men. three women and seven chill
dren.
During the long days that fol
lowed, while she dutifully per-
formed the tasks assigned her by
her captOrs, and endured their
taunts and abuse with seeming pa
tience. Hannah carefully laid her
plans. The boy Samuel was her
tool. Under her instruction Samuel
feigned great admiration for one
of the Indian men. Surely II took
great strength and skill to WELD
that tomahawk with such deadly
effect How was It done? The
savage. with due pride in his PROV
ress showed him.
Eagerly Hannah received the re-
layed Instructions. Then she picked
four of the Indians as her own vic
tins. assigned four to Mrs. Neff
and three to the boy. Thus pre-
pared she bided her time. And one
dark night. when the Indian family
slept soundly. the three arose,
helped themselves to the Indians
weapons. and quietly and system
atically went about the business Of
killing ten of them.
Under cover of the darkness they
fled the camp. making their way to
the river, where they seized one
of the Indians canoes. Then, aid
ed by the current. they made their
way down the Merrimac to the Eng
lish settlement nearer its mouth.
And shortly after Hannah Dustin
was reunited with her husband and
her remaining children in their
home at Haverhill.

Police Cut Parking Space
In Congested District

Operating with little publicity,
the traffic authorities of Washing
ton have during the past few
months reduced available parking
space in and near the congested
area to a marked extent.
: AS a result, the average motor
ist probably has to drive several
blocks further to find parking
space than before the new restric-
tions went into effect.
Twelfth Street Northwest, south
Of Massachusetts, Avenue, is one OF
the thoroughfares most affected
by the new rules. Until recently,
parking was permitted on both
sides of the street at any hour of
the day.
Then parking was prohibited
between and 6 p. m. on the
east side of the street, and later
parking at any time was prohi-
bited on the west side.
No parking has become the rule
along certain stretches on Mas
Sachusetts Avenue, and around
the little triangle that fronts the
Masonic Temple.

TOLD To JURY

The story of the fatal shooting
of Frank Snow in a pool parlor,
900 block Ninth st. N. W., two
weeks ago was related to the Dis
trict Grand Judy today.
Charles McAvoy was held re-
sponsible for the shooting at a
stormy coroner's inquest last week
in the District Morgue, which was
climaxed by a near fist fight be-
tween Acting Coroner A. Magru-
der Macdonald and Jesse C. Duke,
counsel for the Snow family. Duke
complained that he was hindered
by Macdonald in oss-examina-
ton of witnesses, and threatened
a Congressional investigation of
what he termed a "whitewash" of
the case.
McAvoy and Charles Neil, a by
stander, were shot during the me-
lee. Neil is in Emergency Hospital
in a serious condition. Policeman
Ule M. Gale, of the First precinct,
is believed to have shot McAvoy,
who was engaged in a tuSsle with
Snow at a pool table over a gun.
Snow was twice wounded.
Witnesses before the grand jury
today were members of the homi-
eide squad who investigated the
case and several persons who were
in the pool room on the night of
the shooting.

MOVE
DUE FOR BANK

The local banking front, as it
relates to closed institutions, re-
mained quiet today while two
separate groups waited for de-
velopments expected to materialize
within "a hours.
The Treasury Department to-
morrow is expected to file a
surprise answer in the suit of the
depositors of the Park Savings
Bank to GUST the Treasury re-
ceiver and have the District
Supreme Court appoint a receiver
on behalf of the depositors.
While neither G.. B. Springston
nor j. Bruce Kremer, attorneys
for the Treasury, would disclose
the nature of the move they will
make tomorrow, both asserted
that it would not be along most
freely predicted lines.
At the same. time, members OF
the Hamilton National Bank
merger was temporarily set back
Saturday when the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation required
additional time in which to go
over the application of the mem
ber banks for a corporation loan.
This difficulty was expected to
be overcome today and will
eliminate the last obstacle to the
merger.
