BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
29.-One of President Roosevelt's first
acts upon his return to Washington
next week will be to set in motion
the study by experts of tax burdens
in a number of cities. decided upon
by him as the best medium of de-
termining whether or not the taxes
paid by the people of the District of
Columbia are above or below the

Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet deter
mined what Government experts he
will assign to this tax survey. Before
deciding he will discuss the subject
with Secretary Henry Morgenthau,
jr.. Of the Treasury. who will come to
confer with the President on a vari-

BELIEVED SEIZED AT FRONT.
Salamanca Reported Taken BY Troops
in Chac0.

A sudden overturn of the Bolivian
government was disclosed yesterday
through advices received here that
Daniel Salamanca, Bolivian President,
had been arrested by troops on the
Chaco war front.
Apparently as part Of a carefully
planned coup d'etat. Vice President
Jose Luis Tejada Sorzana was reported
to have seized control of La Paz, the
capital.
American officials today were appre-
hensive over what effect the apparent
coup might have on American and
League of Nations efforts to bring
peace in the Chaco war betWene Bo-
livia and Paraguay. In the absence
of complete official dispatches, how
ever, they declined to comment.
Apparently Seized at Front.
President Salamanca apparently was
seized when he travelled to the Chaco
front in an effort to replace the COM
mander-in chief of the Bolivian army
who recently has suffered reverses in
the long drawn war.
President ELECT Tamayo, President
Salamanca's s two daughters and the
have been arrested. Only the most
meager details of their plight, how
ever, we're available.
Fears were expressed in the dis
patches that civil war might break
out at any minute.
Gable communication was seriously
interrupted and the expectation was
that radio communication also would
be cut.
The Bolivian and Paraguayan Lega
tions here were without official dis
patches and declined any comment
on the dramatic events.
Paraguayans Advance.
Paraguay has been slowly pushing
the Bolivian Army back in the long
conflict in the Chaco jungles and
there is understood to have been
growing dissatisfaction during recent
weeks with Bolivian military leader
ship.
One perhaps significant paragraph
in the Bolivian constitution was
pointed out here as possibly having
some bearing on the Bolivian situa-
ton. 1t provides that the Vice Presi-
dent assumes control when the Presi-
dent takes command of the army in
the event of civil or foreign war.
Conjectures we're that Vice Presi-
dent Tejada Sorzano may have as
sumed the presidency under that
constitutional provision.

grandmother, Mrs. Harding, who
had Government position, substan-
tial bank account and large home.
So fond was she of her grandmother
that she dropped the name Of Cooley
and assumed that of Harding.
Upon the death of her grandmother,
Miss Harding inherited the home but
was unable to make a living as
public stenographer, it was said, and
was forced to borrow money on the
house until she finally lost it. A
part of her time as public stenogra-
pher was at the old National Hotel
Following her fathers death she
attempted to break will in which she
was left nothing, Capt. Mackey said,
but was unsuccessful. The will had
expressed bitterness that the daughter
had forsaken the father for her
grandmother.
Finally she purchased the small
house In which she died and an

SULLIVAN LAUDS
WAR ON NUMBERS
"Those Behind Campaign
Mean Business" Says
Citizens Leader.

George E. Sullivan, chairman of
the Law and Legislative Committee,
Federation of Citizens Associations,
declares that Our leading dissent
nators of news not only proclaim but
demonstrate in a practical way that
they are unwilling to be indifferent to
the public welfare in refusing to pub
lish the pari-mutuel totals from race
tracks Mr.. Sullivan refers to the
agreement with United States Attor-
ney Garnett entered into by The Star.
the Post. Herald, Times and the local
radio stations.
The results reasonably to be ex-
pected from this campaign are extern
sive and far-reaching," Mr.. Sullivan
says, speaking for his committee.
To Impede Gaming.
THE campaign tends to impede, IN
a practical way, the successful prose-
cution of the numbers game by with
holding publication of matter utilized
in such business.
1T makes plain that those behind
the campaign mean business and to
administer similar treatment to what
ever else may be resorted to by those
conducting the numbers racket.
To Encourage Citizens.
"It will encourage alertness and
action on the part of our public spir-
tied citizens in having the solicitors of
this business exposed and excluded
from places where they are now oper-
ating; also in helping the public
authorities identify and prosecute such
solicitors. in view of the recent rulings
of Justice Proctor of the District Su-
preme Court and Judge Given of the
Police Court that the numbers game
is prohibited by existing law, although
not specifically mentioned in it.
This campaign will focus the at
tention of the incoming Congress upon
the Importance of losing no time i'll

of the District, in the respects strong
ly advocated at the last session by
the Commissioners, the district at

D. c. RELIEF FUNDS
MAY BEAR BRUNT
OF BUDGET CUTS
First Tentative Decisions for
1886 Are Reached by
Bureau Officials.
$4,000, 900 ESTIMATES
FACE OTHER REDUCTIONS
Findings Kept Secret - Board
Pleased by Interest of Presi-
dent in Local Finances.

A number Of reductions, particu-
larly in relief items, are to be made in
the s44000,G0O District budget pro-
posed for the next fiscal year by the
Commissioners, under tentative de-
cisions reached by Budget Bureau Of
flcials. it uas reported today.
Since the Budget Bureau must keep
its actions secret until the document is
forwarded to Congress by the Presi-
dent, exact details were lacking.
Speculation pointed to the proposed
relief appropriation as the one fac
ing the heaviest cut.
The District relief appropriation for
this year is s200OO00 Reports have
been that S30O0000 was sought by
the Commissioners for next year
Indications are that this will be cut
down to the level Of the current
appropriation.
Influenced by Federal Position.
The reason advanced for this re-
port is the position taken by Federal
authorities that Federal appropria-
tions for relief of the unemployed
must be continued over a consider
able period A major portion Of the
District relief costs are being borne
this year by Federal funds.
District officials were unanimous
today in refusing to discuss the budget
but all voiced qualification over the
personal interest President Roosevelt
is taking in seeking TO end the hit
and-miSs methods Of arriving at the
size of the Federal payment toward
expenses of the National Capital.
Commissioner Hazen revealed also.
in this connection, that he had dI-
rected Tax Assessor William P. Rich
ards TO compile data on the tax burden
of SO cities to indicate the relation
ship to District taxation. This is be-
ing done so that the District will be
prepared to offer definite and authen-
tic data on the matter II called upon
for comment.
President to Order Study.
President Roosevelt revealed yester-
day at Warm Springs. Ga, that he
will direct Treasury officials to study
evaluated tax rates of numerous cities
in relation to that of the District, as
a guide to what should be the Federal
payment in 1886
THAT certainly is fine" said Com
missioner Hazen. We are delighted
to have the President take such
personal interest in the matter. Much
good should come from this study.
We are all gratified over the determi-
nation of the President to arrive al
logical means of deciding this ques-
ton of what is the fair share of costs
which belong to the Federal Govern
ment. The District will be glad TO
offer any information that may be
desired by the Treasury officials"
Work for Fair Treatment.
Commissioner Allen said: We re-
joice in the action taken by the Pres
ident to find a factual basis for de-
termination of what should be the
