KILLING PINNED
ON NJ 'AVOY

Investigation into the pool-room
brawl in which Frank Snow, al.
legged small-time racketeer lost
his life Tuesday night, has dis
closed that a police roundup
brought about grudge between
Snow and his alleged slayer,
Charles McAvoy, local gambler.
1t was said that McAvoy and
Snow we're both questioned by
police about a week ago in con-
nection with reported shakedowns
of gambling establishments.
Each of the men is said to
have suspected the other Of
"squealing."
McAvoy was shot by Policeman
U. M. Gale, who rushed into the
poolroom when he heard shoot
ing. Police said a medical exami-
nation of Shows body showed he
was killed by shots fired by some
one facing him. This indicated
none of the policemen's bullets
struck Snow and that he was
slain by McAvoy.
McAvoy and Charles Neil, a
bystander in the pool room. and
a victim of a stray shot when
McAvoy started firing at Snow,
are at Emergency Hospital with
bullet wounds. Each is in seri-
GUS condition. Neil was given a

MISS RENKES

With only II days remaining in

tax assessor.
Deputy Assessor Charles A. Rus
sell said today that 10000 returns
have been filed to date, of the
$1,000 due to be filed. Returns to
date total approximately $352.O00.
Last year at this time more than
$4,000 persons had filed returns,
Mr.. Russell said, adding a warn
ing that failure to report before
the end of July will result in a 20

DC. BankS'Tax
Return Being
POndered

The District Commissioners to-
day are studying the recon-
mendation of Corporation Coun.
sci William w. Bride that the
District abandon its efforts to
have insolvent local banks file
tax returns.
Brides opinion, suggesting that
the controversy be dropped, was
rendered in spite of the fact
that he believes the District has
a legal right to compel the re-
turns.
The Comptroller General has
held that the banks cannot be
forced to file returns, in view of
the fact that, since they made no
money, they are not subject to
taxation. Bride holds the op-
posite view but said he sees
nothing to be gained by prolong,
ing the effort to force filing of
the returns.

.LABORERS PAID
WELL BY j. 8.

Demands of o m m n laborers

ment that they are receiving a
higher rate of pay than laborers
on private jobs.

retary of the Treasury, today sent
a communication to Larry Kelly,
of the 900 block G Pl. N. W., rep

the results of a Treasury Depart
ment investigation were set forth.
The letter informed the labor
ers that the investigation m e
by the department reveals that the
common laborers on Government
jobs are being paid at higher
rate than those working for pri-
vate contractors.
The letter was in answer to a
petition from the laborers in which
they demanded a minimum wage
of 60 cents an hour on the ground
that their present wage does not
permit a decent standard of liv-
ing.

RELIEF REPORT
IS DRAFTED

The District Commissioners to.
day were believed to be preparing
an answer to a query by Director
of the Budget Lewis Douglas as
to the rate of expenditure OF
local relief funds.
Douglas query was contained
in a letter of some days ago in
which he refused to sanction use
Of the gasoline tax surplus on
works providing jobs.
The letter raised the question
whether expenditures of the relief
appropriation before the end of
the fiscal year next June 80
would not be a violation of the
antideficiency act. The Commits.
Sioners had stated that the relief
fund will be exhausted Feb
ruary i.
The District appropriations for
the current fiscal year contain an
item of $1,3O0,000 for direct re.
lief. The House Appropriations
Committee, in reporting the bill,
expressed belief this amount
would be sufficient for the entire
year.

there is additional cruelty which Mr.. Russell does not
mention
1t is that when poor cannot enjoy the company
of other people for themselves alone remember time when

Kidnaper Seen as Likely Killer by ]. B. keenan,
Leader in Governments War on Rackets
Aide to Attorney General
Urges Drastic Penalty
in Abduction Cases

"By the faintest turn in the
wind, by the slightest whim OF
Fate" the kidnaper my become
the murderer, and for this rea-
son, according to Joseph B. Kee-
nan, new special assistant to the
Attorney General in charge OF
racketeering, every kidnaper is a
potential murderer. The most
drastic punishment possible should
be meted out to kidnapers as a
deterrent to the present extern
sive wave Of kidnapping.
Keenan'S investigation into
racketering is concerned now
chiefly with kidnapping. in view
of the wave which has aroused
the nation, from the President
to every citizen in the country.
The Attorney Generals asSis-
tant, vigorously stating that kid
napers are anathema to all
American citizens, whether they
are victimized or not, continued:
''It is the easiest thing j..
the world for the kidnaper to
kill his victim. The movement
of an eyelid by the victim or
the slightest unconscious move
of the kidnaper'S finger on his
gun may turn the kidnaper
into the murderer.
'KidnaperS are not like any
other type of criminal. They
are so much in fear of their
own lives and SO afraid of
being caught with their vic
tim that they think nothing
of killing him."

Execute All Kidnapers,
Says Judge MCEIroy

Kidnapers should be forced to
pay the extreme penalty, Judge
H. F. McElroy, city manager Of
Kansas City, Mo-, believes.
In his suite at the Mayflower
Hotel today. the slim, gray-haired
head of the Kansas City govern.
ment declared that the three
men whose trials begin Monday
should be hanged for kidnapping
his 25-year-old daughter. Mis- s
Mary McElroy. who for 80 hours
was held captive in cabin until
100000 ransom was paid.
If death sentences are meted
out to these three men, Judge
McElroy said, it will put the
fear of God' into all potential
kidnapers and nip the kidnapping
wave.
On a visit to the Department
Of Justice, where he conferred
with Joseph B. keenan,, special
assistant to the Attorney General
in charge of racketeering, Judge
McElroy suggested that kidnap-
ing, "the most heinous crime pos
sible," should be handled solely
by Federal agents, notwithstand-
ing State lines.
He said that Federal agents
should have authority to appre-
hend kidnapers, regardless of city
or State laws.
It is understood that the prose
cutting attorney for the trials OF
the kidnapers today asked the
Attorney General to send Mr..
keenan, to Kansas City to assist
in the prosecution.
