DOCS AND CATS HOWL PROTEST
AS SKUNK ARRIVES At POUND

he said, or words to that effect. go
catch that wood pussy!"
The dogcatchers went forth with crab
nets. They had no difficulty locating the
interloper. trapped in small pen by
some one who had abandoned his
prize"
With crab nets the skunk was ne
gotiated into garbage pail, the lid Of
which was clamped In place. The dog
catchers set out for the pound in q
great hurry.
Fearing the skunk might suffocate
en- route, they cracked the lid of the
pail a bit. The skunk misunderstood
this humane gesture, and retaliated
after his own fashion. Then the driver
almost decided to abandon the truck.
At the pound dogs barked and cats
howled q protest while the gas chamber
was being prepared for the waif. It
was a foregone conclusion that no one
would adopt skunk.
The skunk passed on, but the memory
fingered.

ELECTRIC BILLS
WILL Be REDUCED
Consumers Will Save $18,'
600 by Shifting of Federal
Sales Tax.

Users Of electricity IN Washington
will find their bills reduced In the ag-
gregate more than $4,000 per month
since the first of this month, as a result
of the shift Of the Federal sales tax
from the consumer to the power plant.
The tax, of per cent, went into effect
June 2l, 1882. Under the revenue act
of 1892, however, the power companies
added the tax to their bills, collected 1t
from the customer. and turned 1t over
to the Federal Government. This was
changed at the past session Of Congress
effective September /, 1888. and the tax
made payable directly by the power COM
panies, with no additional charge to the
consumers.
Company Pays $257,62s.
According to figures furnished The
Star by A. G. Neil, controller OF the
Potomac Electric Power Co., that COM
pany has paid the Federal Government
in sales taxes collected from consumers
s257, ,629 40 during the time the tax was
In effect up to August 81, 1885.
II approximately the same DOLLAR
sales Of electricity should be main
tanned in l933-34 it would mean that
the consumers would save (and the
company would have to pay) about $18,-
600 q month, or about $216,000 a year IN
sales taxes.
Cost to Be Pro-Rated.
Mr.. Neil said that owing to the phys
ical impossibility of reading all meters
September /, system of pro-rating
the taxes as between the power COM
pany and the consumer was devised
Thus II the meter of q given customer
was read on August 10 and September
TO- the power company would pay 9-3l
of 3 per cent and the customer 22-31.
The bills now being sent to the Gus
toners all show this pro-ration.

BRIDE SCANS PLANS
OF LIQUOR CONTROL
Corporation Counsel Seeks
Data Before Congress
ConVeneS.

Corporation Counsel W. w. Bride
|, has arranged to confer with Chair
man King Of the Senate District Com
mittee on proposed measure to
control handling and sale of liquor II
the District after repeal is ratified.
A tentative arrangement was made
for a conference some time this aft
ernoon, but it may be postponed for
day or two.
Bride has been making study OF
various methods of controlling sale OF
liquor, at the direction of the DISTRICT
Commissioners, who wish to be ad-
vised on the matter before Congress
convenes in January. Bride has
reached the conclusion that even
though the States ratify the repeal
amendment early in December. the
volstead act still would be enforced Sc
far as the District is concerned until
Congress takes action to repeal 1t spe-
cificaIly for the District or enacts a
new measure covering the situation
here.
He has been surveying plan pro-
posed by Rufus s. Lusk, for several
years legislative officer for the Cru
saders, a national anti-prohibition Or
ganization. This proposal is based
upon the major principles of the Swed-
ism system, unQ0I WIllCli IlquOi ID Soiu
only by q limited dividend private
corporation. under dirsct control OF
Government commission. which
would have positive powers OF regula-
ton.
4 Bride has commented favorably upon
features Of this proposal, but also is
making q study of liquor control laws
in various States and those In force in
q number Of foreign countries.
The Swedish plan prohibits return OF
the saloon. Lusk has pointed out. II
Congress decides the saloon should be
permitted to return, Bride has under
study a plan similar to the Rhode Is
land act under which the State has
definite control over the saloons, de-
signed to eliminate objectionable fea-
lures that existed prior to prohibition.
Another scheme being studied by the
corporation counsel would provide for
the District government itself to be In
control Of distribution and sale Of hard
liquor.
Bride will outline features of the vari-
Gus possible plans in his conference
with Senator King. He also will outline
the suggestions under study to Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton, chairman OF
the House District Committee.

A sad occasion. the arrival OF the
District Dog Pounds first and only
skunk, and attendants there are trying
to forget.
Almost any other creature that walks,
fiutters, swims or crawls has at least a
chance of finding a home and pro-
tector, but not a skunk. Not even a
very small skunk, all alone in big
city.
Certainly. residents of the 400 block
of Peabody street had no refuge for
the waif. They made police telephones
buzz with requests for relief from his
presence.
The police were not at all sure that
the case fell within their jurisdiction.
They couldn't find anything in the reg
ulations to that effect. and referred the
matter to the pound.
The poundmaster. who knows his
duty when he sees it, called in two as
sstants. mo skunk can intimidate me. |"

Big Rush Comes.

World series tickets were being dis
tributed at the ball park today, but the
public, which has bought up practically
the entire lot of grandstand tickets,
appeared apathetic about getting the
pasteboards.
AS a result ticket spectators. who
have set up Offices on downtown Four

park, still were without tickets to do
business. One speculator said he had
managed to obtain few, but these, he
said. were already taken, and he had
no stock in trade for new customers.
The apathy of the customers brought
welcome relief to the staff of E. B.
Eynon. secretary of the club, who has
been directing the distribution of this
tickets to those who sent in money or.
ders. Eynon and large part of his
staff were at the Office all last night,

Eynon reported that while the grands

the highest prices, have been gobbled
up until there are only q few left at
the ends Of these divisions, there are
still plenty Of the pavilion seats left,
These, he said. are not moving as fast
as had been expected, but he believes
that when the big rush comes they
will all be disposed Of Standing-room

Workmen throughout the park were
busy putting the finishing touches on
the stands and the huge press box
that has been erected atop the grand
stand. Perches along the first and
third base lines, hooked onto the upper
tier Of stands, have been erected for
news photographers.
A squad of men also was patching
up the playing field, turing where
necessary. and otherwise grooming the
field to have 1t in the best condition
possible for the games here.

HIT COMPETITION
IN MILK COMBINE
Control of Market Revealed
to Senate Probe CON-
mittee.

Fear Of competition In Baltimore
from the National Dairy Products Cor
poration brought about the organization
of the Eastern States Milk Producers
Association in 1880, I. w. Heaps, man.
ager, has told Elwood H. Seal. counsel
for the Senate Committee investigating
milk prices and control, Seal revealed
today.
The Eastern States Association now
holds the contracts of producers in both
the Washington and Baltimore markets,
assigned to it by the Virginia
Milk Producers Association and the
MARYLAND State Distributors Associa-
ton, each of which include subsidiaries
of the National Dairy Products Cor
poration.
In his testimony before Seal hereto
fore, Heaps has indicated the Eastern
States was set up merely to obtain
more bargaining power" in dealing
with farmers and in adjusting prices
to be paid for their products.
Heaps to Be Recalled.
HEAPS. Seal said, will be called back
before the Senate committee when
formal hearings are resumed about the
middle of october to repeat his state
instead of seeking bargaining power the
marketing agency actually was set up
to cut of new competition In the
Baltimore and Maryland field.
The National Dairy Products Corpo-
ration, Seal disclosed. purchased an old
bakery building in Baltimore after hav-
ing entered the Washington market in
1929 by the purchase of the Chestnut
Farms Dairy. The bakery was re-
modelled as a milk shed. although, con-
trarv to its usual policy. the National
CORPORATION had never before set up
marketing facilities alone but had. in
stead, purchased dairies already doing
business.
Believed Threat.
HEAPS at the time was manager Of the
MARYLAND State Distributors Assoc1a-
ton and he interpreted the remodeling
of the bakery as threat from the ma
tional corporation. In 1890, the Ma
tional did enter the Baltimore market
through the purchase Of the Fairfield
Western Maryland Dairy, and thereupon
the Eastern States Association was
formed, preferring the policy of play
ing ball" with National rather than
competing with them.
Seal has not yet completed his inves-
tigation Of the Baltimore developments
in the milk inquiry, which originally
was intended only to cover the Wash
ington market However. as ramif1ca-
tions Of the holdings of the National
Dairy Products Corporation are disclosed
the scope Of the investigation Is being
steadily broadened.
King to Ask New Aid.
Yesterday Senator King. chairman OF
the Senate committee. announced that
he will call upon the Department of
Justice to take hand in the inquiry
because Of the widespread dairy con-
troll traced to the National.
Meanwhile Corporation Counsel w.
w. Bride planned another conference
with Senator King to seek the release
of Seal, one of his assistants. whose
time has been largely consumed by the
milk investigation. King, however. has
declined to permit Seals removal and
has expressed satisfaction with the
progress made under his direction.
