WITNESSES ACCUSE
DISTRICT LAWYER

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 23.-Norman S.
Bowles, disbarred Washington attor-
ney, whose trial continued today In
Federal Court here on charges OF in
come tax violations, heard witnesses
accuse him yesterday of receiving $5,-
900 as settlement of claim paying
only $500 to an attorney and the
principal.
william j. Dow, former Washington
attorney, testified in Judge w. Calvin
Chesnut's court that he presented
claim on behalf of Mrs. Marie Lowe,
also of Washington, against Edward
B. Dean, sr., in May, 1880. He re-
ceived $1,000 in settlement, retained
$1,000 as his own fee, and turned the
balance over to Bowles, he said.
Mrs. Lowe then was questioned as to
the amount she had received. She re-
ported that Bowles gave her $500.
Bowles, who is acting as mis- own
attorney, cross-examined Mrs. Lowe
closely. He asked her if she had not
received $500 from him. She re-
peated that she had been given only
$500.
Bowles is charged with falsifying
tax returns for income received in
1880, and for reporting loss income
during 1881, although, the Govern
ment claims, he actually made profit
during the latter year.

|. ON D. c. MEASURE
Conferees Meet to Iron Out
Differences in Appro.
priation.

Senate and House conferees began
work today on differences in the 1895
District appropriation bill and were
still in closed session at noon.
With amendments aggregating ap-
proximately S., 1000, 900 to be adjusted,
it is probable that a final agree
ment will not be reached at the first
meeting. The House bill amounted
to S32 $50 900, toward which the Fed
eral share was $4,364,2 4,295. The Sen
ate bill totaled $37,680,000 with the
Federal contribution restored to
SIS, zoo, 900, the same figure as for the
current year.
Before the conferees met each re-
ceived q last-minute plea from Rufus
S. Lusk of the Washington Taxpayers
Protective Association, urging reten-
ton OF the Federal contribution at
the Senate figure of $5,700,0 900, but
opposing, with a few exceptions. the
Senate increases in appropriation
items.
FavOrs Two Increases.
Lusk's statement suggested that the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board had
been cut too sharply, and that the
Public Utilities Commission probably
would need more than the House bill
allowed.
With regard to the Senate increases
for public schools, he recommended
that all these increases be eliminated
except for the Anacostia Junior High
School.
Continuing, his statement read, In
part:
1.-The s5OO,O0O for the tuberculosis

P. w. A. loan is approved, in which
case the money can undoubtedly be
obtained from the P. W. A, since this

eral early Sunday morning, Toxic
was informed. There were no casual
ties. One shot. it was reported, broke
a window and was imbedded in a

general
The japanese government views
this incident seriously the spokesman
added, and must insist upon a thor
ough investigation and precautions
against any recurrence of such vio-
lence.
Incident Explained.
The consul general reported to
Toxic that local Soviet authorities
had explained the shooting occurred
in a fracas between groups of Rus
sian police and soldiers, who shot and
accidently struck the consulate.
The consul general, however, added
that recently there has been increas-
ing friction between Japanese and
Russians in the Khabarovsk district
This partially accounted for the
japanese governments decision to in
struct Ambassador Ota to file an
official protest.
Khabarovsk is on the Amur River

sored empire of Manchukuo and Soviet
