INTRUDER TRIES
NIGHT ATTACK

STRASBURG, Va, Feb. IS
Ominous groups gathered on
street corners here today as they
learned of an attempted attack
on Sunday at midnight upon 49,
year-old Almeta Funk, living with
her deaf mother in an isolated
farm three miles south of here
Sheriff Luther Sheetz said depu-
ties have been working feverishly
since they learned early yesterday
of the daring attempt, but so far
the cap and portion of the coat
of the assailant were still the only
clues.
Mrs. Edna Bush Funk and her
daughter reported to police early
yesterday morning that their
home had been entered the night
before. and savage attack made
upon the younger woman as she
lay in her bed, the assailant be-
ing finally driven off by the
stout defense put up by the two
women.
The girls night garments were
torn to shreds by the intruder.
Mrs. Funk, who was sleeping in
the same room, but whose deaf
ness had prevented her hearing
the mans entrance, had awak-
ened and rushed to her daugh-
ter's defense. After a prolonged
struggle the man broke away,
dashed through a screen door,
and disappeared.

SMALL OWNERS
HIT, ASSERTS
ECONOMIST
Mortgage Holders Should Be
Forced to Pay, De Vault
Tells Women Voters

BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-Mary-
lands tax assessment system dis
eliminates against the small prop
erty owner, and with the majority
of the States farms mortgaged to
the limit the nominal owners of
$32,000000 worth of State farms
are paying taxes on this land
which really belongs to the mort
gage holders, according to DR.. S.
H. DeVault.
Addresses Women Voters
The professor of economics at
the University of Maryland told
the Maryland League of Women
Voters at Baltimore yesterday that
the assessors conscience doesn't
bother him when a small amount
Is involved" adding:
"He is not going to be both
cred much about assessing a
$1,000 piece of property, but
when it comes to valuing a
100000 property at that figure
he goes SLOW"
The economist declared that the
average assessment on farm prop
erty selling at $1,000 and under is
92.1 of sales price; that on prop
erty selling at more than $1,000 is
76.4 per cent. while that on prop
erty selling at more than $4,000
IS only SGT per cent. The diSpar-
1ty is unfair. he insisted.
Protesting that the titular owner
OF land who has only a small
equity in it must pay the taxes
while the real owner-the mort
gage holder-does not, DR.. De-
Vault continued:
"If you think that property
doesn't belong to the holder of
the first mortgage, just you stop
paying on the mortgage and see
what happens. We don't tax
first mortgages in Maryland any
more, except in Frederick
county. Back in 1904 or 1905,
all counties taxed first mort
cages. The average mortgage
debt per farm in Maryland is
S3,123."

DEFENSE IN THE
 HANSON CASE IS
 HIT HARD BLOW
Presiding Judge Rules Out All Attempts to Make Death of Woman Ac- cidental One

San Jose, Cal, Sept 6. (UP)-The defense of David A. Lamson, hand. some Stanford university intellec- tual, was hastily rearranged to-day because an effort to prove Mrs AL lene Lamson died from on acc cidental fall was ruled out by Judge R. +. Syer.
 Prosecutor Allan r, Lindsay doalth swift blows at the defense as Lamson, accused of beating his -year-old wife to death with an iron pipe, faltered and lost his habitual composure in cross- exam ination.
 Judge syer uphold the states obs lection and prevented pr Charles M. Richards, San Jose X-Ray ex- pert, from testifying that he be. lieved Allene died from fall in the bathroom of the Lamson cot. tage on tho campus at Palo Alto.
 Lamson himself failed to add to tho accidental fall theory when he described the position in which he found his wife's body. Pleading that his mind was hay from grief, and frequently answering II don't remember" Lamson said Allene'a body was lying across tho edge of the bathtub face downward against tho floor.
 All expert witnesses had testi. fled that the first blow, whether from 0 fiat surface or pipe, hat caused instant unconseiousness. His wife's torso hung over tn tubs side, face on the floor, whil

How to Have
 a Clean City
Suggestions for Benefit of
 the Budget Makers

Pretty soon the officials will be making up the annual budget, and as usual people will want to dd- wise the officials how to act so as not to neglect anything that Is essential and yet keep the rate of taxation as low as possible. This is the duty of every citizen, pro- vided he goes about it in the right way. Discussing that question at a club meeting last night, 1t seemed to be the opinion of all present that i. would be a good plan to provide for the collection of refuse that accumulates in almost every home and is usually left in the back yard until it become a nuiss ance.
 Those who have given this mat ter q little study claim that in most cities all over the country trucks go through the different streets ct least once week and pick up such things as families have gathered into cans. This stuff Is carted away to dumps. There is nothing new in this sug- gestion. It Is all a matter of ex- pense. The plan has been talked of for years, but the city never could see its way to appro- priating money for that purpose.

OIL INDUSTRY
 IS OPERATING
 UNDER THE CODE
Started To-day, But There
 May Be Some Changes
 on Price Fixing End of
BY JULIUS TRANDSEN united prcss Staff Corrcspondcnt)


 Washington, September 8 - (UP) - The oil industry began operating today under federal pro- duction allotments designed to output and prices. Battle lines wero drawn In fresh contro- versy over direct government price, fixing.
 The powerful Standard oil Com pany of New Jersey again was in the lead in fighting price- -lixins. Outcome of the battle apparently will depend on how the industry fares under the restrictions de. signed to balance production and consumption.
 Secretary of Interior 1ekes, oil code administrator, laid down the regulations which limited national oil output to 2,409,700 barrels daily, effective at Q. m, to-day, and aiiocated this production along the various fields. He was pre-. pared to adjust tho allotments X they failed to lift crude prices to a point that will enable producers to meet increased costs of opera. ton under the code and give them Q iair profit "a price estimated at between $i and $l.2b . barrel for mid-continent crude.
 Whether or not the government will consider using It's price. fixing powers under the code Is, In Ickes's own words, a bridge he won't cross until whom and if 1t Is necessary.
 A large section of the industry and many of It's representatives on the planning and, coordinating committee set up under tho code favor price.fixing. The comm't' tee Is preparing recommendations to Ickes regarding prices.
 The Rockefeller-backed stand ard oil Company of New Jersey led the opposition to price.iixing' just as 1t did when the code was under consideration.
 The issue was drawn anew when Charles k. Roesor, Fort Worth, Texas, member of tho planning committee, reported to his asso- ciates that W. s. Parish, chairman of the board of the New Jersey Company. had refused to furnish information requested for the com- mittoe's price deliberations.
 In New York Parish replied that his attitude had been misrepre- sented. He said his company would provide any data formally requested by tho committee, but would not participate In the ram. ing of any price recommendations or proposals for reodjustment or the price determination iormuiae prescribed In the code.

Proper Care or
 Milk Important
 To Check Germs
State Laboratory Head Says Best Way Is to Leave in
 Bottle Instead of Uncovered Pitchers

Mr Mickle explained that if milk sours too quickly (less than 12 to 24 hours) 1t is probably due either to the fact that the milkman is leaving 1t In e sunny spot where 1t stands for some time before be- ing taken in or that the refrigera- tor is faulty. Refrigeratorsr should be kept at 50 degrees or less. Above that temperature bacteria develop rapidly and frequently spoil foods. An ordinary thermometer may be used to test tho temperature of +refrigerators.
 TO proprely protect 1t from germs, milk should not be poured Into a pitcher for storage in the refrigera.. tor. This leaves it uncovered and free to collect bacteria and to ab- sorb odors from other foods. The best way, Mir Mickle said, Is to keep milk in the bottle wiping the top at the time and coveringf 1t afterwards.
 In response to Il question con corning frozen milk, the laboratory director said that there was no foun- dalton for tho widespread pre- judice against the use or froSei milk particularly for baby food Even when frozen there Is very little change in the chemical content, oi milk and when the frozen milk hal been melted 1t Is absolutely th' same as it was originally.

Milk Dealers
 Plan Session
Will Meet at Hartford
 Wednesday, Sept l3

There will be a meeting at the Hotel Garde, Hartford, Wednesday September 13. to join in protest against a plan submitted to the Milk Board Control for state wide pooling of all milk produced in Connecticut. People are urged to be present and mako Q strong pro. test against the proposed New England pool. which 1t is charged aims to do away with Legitimate competition and thus put the milk supply in the hands of few.
 rho opponents of what 1t Is pro- posed to do say that they welcome any law which has Q tendency. to improve the quality of milk. but they object to a rule or regula- ton denying q dealer the right to fix his own price. They go on to explain that some can afford to sell cheaper than others and these should not be obliged to advance their prices for the benefit of com. pctitors.
