NEW PARK RULE
HITS CAMPERS

The new park regulation re-
stricting public use of park land
within the District to four con-
secutive hours is aimed solely at
persons intending to camp" there
and will not be enforced upon
picknickers or persons desiring to
sleep out of doors on hot nights.
This was admitted today by
Capt. Doyle o. Hickey, Superin-
tendent of park police, who said
the measure was drawn up by
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant after a
conference at the White House.
It was approved by President
Roosevelt.
Need for some such rule was
found necessary after park police
heads last week discovered there
was no regulation applicable to
handling large groups Of persons
seeking to take up residence in
public parks.

Staying TRIAL
UNDER WAY

With a cap and a blood-stained
shirt as the principal bits of evil
dence, the Government today be-
gan an attempt in District Su-
preme Court to send George
Alexopolus, At, to the electric
chair on a charge of first degree
murder of Christos Haralampidis,
proprietor of a restaurant.
The murder occurred in Janu-
ary, 1880. Haralampidis was
found in his restaurant, 500 block
Ninth st. N. w., stabbed to death
with an ice pick. A mans cap
was found in the place. Police in
vestigation disclosed Alexopolus as
an acquaintance of the victim.
Shortly after the murder, Alex
opolus disappeared. A search of
his room revealed the blood
stained clothing, police said.
Last December II, Alexopolus
was located in Harrisburg. Pa,
after a nation wide search, and
was brought back to this city.
Police said he admitted having
been in the restaurant on the
night of the murder. He denied
the killing and explained he got
the blood on his clothing by kill
ing and dressing rabbits.

DISTRICT HEADS
PLAN TO GUT
TAX RATE
Commissioners to Act After
Supply Bill Passes, Says
Dr.. ReicheIderfer

Steps toward reduction of the
local tax rate will be taken by
the District Commissioners i'm
mediately after the passage Of
the new District supply bill, it
was said today by DR.. Luther H.
Reichelderfer, president of the
Board of Commissioners.
In previous supply bills Con-
gress always has included rider
forbidding a reduction in the tax
rate, but this was not included
this year, thus leaving the reduc'
ton at the discretion of the Com
missioners.
District revenues may be cut
somewhat during the year by re-
duced assessments, it was said
today by Assessor w. P. Richards
Mr.. Richards is hearing appeals
on assessments, many OF which
are being cut.
Mr.. Richards also is studying
downtown property values, he
said, with a view to reductions.
Real estate assessments for the
current year total approximately
81 ,228, 100000, but Mr.. Richards
estimates that the reduction in
this figure for next year will
amount to more than $60, 1000, 900.
This, of course, will reduce rev.
enues, and consequently affect
any possible reduction in the tax
rate.

Reorganization plans of the

velt and Director of the Budget
Lewis w. Douglas had decided
upon savings in the Government
establishment amounting to
nearly $400,000,000.'
A considerable part of this sum
must be obtained by reductions in
staff. Already the Navy Depart
ment has informed 200 civilian
employees that they must go, and
has made plans to furlough be-
tween $50 and 300 officers.
Announcement Due Soon
Detailed announcements of the

To Meet Nations Needs, Head
of Alcohol Bureau Says
Hundreds Are Needed

To meet the demand for beer
in the United States, several hun
dred more breweries must be es-
tablished, in the opinion of DR.,
James M. Doran, chief of the Blu
reau Of Industrial Alcohol.
Since enactment Of the 80 per
cent beer law March %, there
have been 236 breweries licensed
to begin operations. There were
only 1876 in operation May l.
Before prohibition went into
effect, between 1000 and 1,4OO
breweries had permits and it was
believed by officials that the In
dustry must be built up virtually
to pre-prohibition conditions to
meet consumption demands.
800 More Soon
Doran said about 800 brewerles
will be ready to operate when
reconditionIng work on present
plants has been completed.
Wisconsin leads all States in
the number of licensed brew
cries with A, followed by Penn
sylvania with 35; New York, "a;
Illinois, 18, and Ohio, II. Missouri,
although famous for it's st. Louis
beer production, has but three
licensed brewerieS.
Nine breweries have been
licensed to operate in New Jersey.
In this State a beer scandal de-
veloped when a number of brew
cries were cited to show cause
why their licenses should not be
revoked. It was claimed that
licenses had fallen into the hands
of racketeers and gangsters.
U. S. Probes Racket
An investigation was started by
the Federal authorities following

to have been connected with the
beer business.
In view of the relatively small
number of breweries and the diff
cultieS in meeting the demand,
especially for favorite brands, Of
ficials were of the opinion that
an important expansion would
take place in the next year that
would have a favorable influence
in business and employment.
While the first months revenue
from beer, somewhat over $9,000,'

said hot weather and increase in

Rep. Cannon Scores 1924, 900
Awarded for Jefferson
High School Site

Charges that an inquiry should
be made into the selection of q
condemnation jury that awarded
$294,000 for the purchase of addi.
tional land for jefferson Junior
High School were made by Chair
man Clarence Cannon CD Of
Missouri during hearings by his
appropriations subcommittee on
the 1884 District supply bill.
Major Daniel J. Donovan, Dis
trict Auditor, testified that own.
ers would not agree to sell the
property at a price considered
reasonable by the District and
that the first condemnation jury
fixed a price at $105,000.
Donovan pointed out that the
owner appealed and that a second
condemnation jury fixed the
price at $294,000.
The assessed valuation of the
property was $105,000. This teS-
timony led Cannon to say:
"That amounts to highway
robbery. There should be some
inquiry into the selection of the
jury that would award $294,OOO
under such conditions"

A new charge of violating the

by the District Grand Jury today.
In the new indictment he is
accused of having brought Essie
L. Parker, pretty young brunette,
here from West Virginia and
forcing her to engage in COM
mercial immortality.
At the same time the Grand
Jury reindicted the youth on a
charge of having brought Della
Wills, another pretty young girl,
here from Roanoke, Va, to take
up the same profession.
The first Indictment against
Shropshire was returned last
week, in which the Wills girl was
named as Dorothy Pollard" An
other indictment in that case was
necessitated when it was learned
that was not her real name.

CHAMBER RAPS
ENHANCING

Stern opposition to operation
of taxi-dance halls in the District
was voiced at a Washington

a report of Thomas Slater Settle,
chairman of the public recreation

The report cited washington
and New York as the only two
large cities in which such halls
are permitted. They have been
banned, the report said, in San
Francisco, Seattle and many
other cities.
An appeal for opposition to
the proposed 26.9 rate increase
in workmen's compensation insur-
ance was urged in a report of
the subcommittee on compensa-
ton insurance, which was ap-
proved.
A bill pending in Congress pro-
