PROBE
'CONS|DERED;'
MOVE WATTS
Impeachment or Censure of
Judge in Crawford Case
Asked; No Action Yet

At an executive session today,
the House Judiciary Committee
took under consideration a reso-
luton empowering it to investi-
gate the official conduct Of Fed
eral Judge James A. Lowell, of
Boston, but took no action.
The resolution sponsored by
Representative Howard Smith
CD of Virginia asks the COM
mittee to impeach or censure
the Boston jurist for his decision
earlier in the week which freed
George Crawford, colored, indict-
ed in Loudoun county, Virginia,
charged with the murders of
Mrs. Spencer Ilsley, wealthy
sportSwoman, and her companion,
Mrs. Nina Buckner.
Chairman Reticent
Representative Hatton W. Sum
ners CD of Texas, chairman of
the committee, refused to discuss
the body's action other than to
state:
1--WE took the matter under
consideration"
It was understood, however,
that the committee discussed the
procedure it will follow in the
investigation and tentatively de-
cided to postpone actual investi-
cation until the Circuit Court of
Appeals in Boston has passed on
the appeal taken by the State of
Massachusetts, from Judge Low
IFS decision.
Massachusetts is prosecuting the
appeal because the judges ruling
set aside extradition papers signed
by Governor Ely of that State.
Hearing on the appeal has been
set for May %.
Complaint Draws Praise
Smith today was deluged with
commendatory letters from Vir-
ginia, Massachusetts,, and other
States.
The Virginia Representative
said he had advised Chairman
Summers that he would be pre-
pared to appear before the COM
mittee at any time it desired.
It was understood he will be
asked. probably, next week to
give the committee his idea Of the
scope the investigation should
take.

RIDER
BANS DRASTIC
PROPOSAL
Called "Humane Where the
Present Law Is Not"
Discretion to Roosevelt

Under the terms of the re-
drafted provision of the legisla-
tive rider to the independent
offices supply bill, the President
will be given the right to make
selective retirements of Govern
ment employees instead of carry
ing out the absolute discharge
powers given him under the econ
omy act, it was learned today.
The redraft, which has been
completed by the House Appro-
priations deficiency subcommit-
tee, was said by committee mem
bers "to be humane where the
present law is not"
Drastic Proposal Hit
The subcommittee decided on
the humane plan" in lieu of
the drastic procedure submitted
by the Budget Bureau under
which all Federal employees who
had served 30 years would be
automatically retired on annuity.
The new plan proposes that
wherever it is necessary for de-
partment or bureau heads to
curtail their forces because of
economies or other causes, they
will select and recommend to the
President the least efficient Of
the 30-year service workers for
retirement.
Where those so retired have not
reached the statutory age of re-
tirement, they will have deducted
from their annuities 3 per cent
a month until the legal retire
ment age is reached. At that
time the deductions will stop.
Selective and Optional
The subcommittee today was
seeking to put into simple
language a provision which will
permit the unemployment of re-
tired workers where vacancies
occur or in emergency situations.
Members of the subcommittee
said this plan would effect a saw
~AA6 0AAASC CA1C WOIhCI So re-
employed would no longer draw
his annuity while in service.
One member of the subcommit-
tee said the redrafted plan is not
only Selective but also optional,
and keeps the Government from
carrying a "lot of dead wood"
Action Speeded
The subcommittee figures that
the average annuity will amount
to about 500 a month and that
key men, supervisors, scientists,
lawyers and other professional
and technical employees can be re-
tanned until they reach the statu-
tory age as long as they are ef-
ficient.
The subcommittee has reached
an agreement on practically all
of the other legislative provisions
contained in the rider, and ex-
poets to mark up the bill today
or tomorrow.

FACES COURT

Arthur L. Hitner, who once told
District officials he knew the
identity of the kidnapers of the
Lindbergh infant, was to be given
a hearing today before United
States Commissioner Needham
Turnage on a false pretense
charge filed in Buffalo, N. Y.
Hitner was released from jail
today after serving a sentence of
180 days for passing three worth
less checks.
A charge of false-pretenses
growing out of a case in Lycom-
ing, Pa, was dismissed this morn
ing to clear the way for Hitner's
extradition.
Shortly after Hitner was COM
mitted to District Jail he asked
to see Assistant U. S. Attorney
Michael F. Keogh regarding in
formation concerning the kidnap-
ing of the Lindbergh baby. He
was given an audience by Mr..
Keogh, and said he could lead
authorities to the kidnapers. Mr..
Keogh, however, gave the story
little credence and Hitner was
sent back to jail.

DISAGREEMENT.
HOLDS Up NEW
TRAFFIC. ACT
Conferences Delayed to Next
Week In Hope of Ironing
Out Moot Questions

A disagreement over wording
and jurisdiction today threatened
enactment of Washington's new
traffic code to such an extent
that it is now planned to renew
conferences on the matter next
week with a view to ironing out
differences which arose yester-
day.
The code was drawn by the
Traffic Advisory Council after a
lengthy study, but some of its
provisions were rewritten by the
office of Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride.
DiSSensiOn Enters
The Bride changes were of a
minor nature and provoked little
comment, but yesterday the Pub
lie Utilities Commission sub
mitted certain changes it wished
made, and it is the dissension
over these changes which now
threatens to stop enactment of
the regulations.
The principal change to be
made by the Public Utilities
body is insertion of a Saving
clause" which would provide that
no provision of the code should
interfere with enforcement of
orders of the Utilities Commits
sion governing public vehicles.
Other changes of a minor nature
also were made.
Some Not Acceptable
Some OF these changes, how
ever, are not acceptable to the
advisory council nor to Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer.
The American Automobile Asso-
citation, which is represented on
the advisory body, also is oppos-
ing the changes, it was learned.
The net result of the disagree
ment between the P. U. c., traf-
fic director, Commissioners and
advisory council is that the code
will be redrafted at the new
conferences next week.

show that the women have taken
over business activities and are
doing it efficiently.
He pointed out a $50 per cent
increase in the number of women
bankers and a 400 per cent in
crease in the number Of real es-

The educator predicted that
within 10 years, women will share

Except for the Administration,
which announced that we went off

not to attack other countries, nothing

UNCLE wIGGILY's RED HAT

Where are you going, Wiggy,
my dear?" asked Mrs. Longears,
the rabbit lady, one day as she
saw her bunny husband twinkling
his pink nose in front of the look
ing glass.
What makes you think I am
going anywhere?" he asked.
Because" answered his wife,
whenever I see you twinkling
your pink nose in front of glass
I know you are going out, aren't
you?"
You have guessed it, my dear" I"
answered Mr.. Longears. II am go
ing down town to buy me a new
hat"
'Oh. I'm so glad!" exclaimed
Mrs. Longears, clapping her paws.
"The hat you have been wearing
is very shabby. I have been hoping
you would get yourself new hat
and SO has Nurse Jane"

Information On
Your Income ak

Forms for filing returns of in
come for 1882 have been sent per-
sons who flee returns last year.
Failure to receive form, however,
does not relieve taxpayer of his
obligation to file his return and
pay the tax on time, on or before
March Is if the return is made on
the calendar basis, as is the
case with most individuals. Low
ering of the personal exemption
will require many hundreds OF
thousands of individuals to file re-
turns this year who did not do so
in 1892.
Forms may be obtained upon re-
quest, written or personal, from the
offices of collectors of internal rev.
enue and deputy collectors. Per-
sons whose net income for 1882 was
derived chiefly from salary or wa
ges and was not in excess of $4,000
should make their returns on Form
lO4OA, a single sheet. Persons whose
net income was III excess OF $1,000,
or, regardless of amount. was de-
lived from a business, profession,
rents or sale of property, are re-
quired to use a larger form, 1040.
Failure to use the proper form pre-
sents difficulties 10 both the tax
payer and the bureau of internal
revenue. Therefore, it is empha-
sized that a taxpayer engaged in
a business or profession from which
he derives a net income of less
than $4,000 is required to use the
larger form.
The return must be filed with
the collector of internal revenue
for the district in which the tax
payer has his legal residence or
principal place of business on or
before midnight of March IS, 1888

"Oh, very well,' said Uncle Wig

would much have preferred pick

with it.

to go with her and help her pick
it out.

down the Woodland path to go to
