huge military machine working with
France as the only means of preserving
peace in Europe.
N ISPATCHES from Germany tell
~ of serious unrest in the reich, and
though the government calls them ina
licious lies," it is a fact that the army
and police forces are being held under
emergency orders.
A long smoldering feud between the
reichswehr Irregular army and the
schutzstaffel (black shirt picked Nazi
guards) was believed responsible for
the orders, which involved suspension
of Christmas furloughs for soldiers and
military police.

a balanced budget, for this cannot be

spent for relief and unemployment,

the cost of these would go above the
ten-billion-dollar mark.
Unemployment relief is to be pre-

be adopted with view to tapering OF

INSPECTOR SAMUEL p. COWLEY
and Agent Herman E. Hollis of the
bureau of investigation, Department of
Justice, engaged in a gun battle with
Lester Gillis, better known as George
(sBaby Face") Nelson, Public Enemy
No. 1, and a companion, near Barring
ton, Ill.,, and both the federal men were
shot to death by machine guns in the
hands of the bandits. The killers, ac-
companied by woman, escaped for
the time being in the agents car, their
own being disabled.
Next day Nelson's body was found
miles away, In Niles Center, at the en-
trance to cemetery. He had died Of
nine bullet wounds from the guns of
the federal agents he killed and evil
IDENTIFY his body had been left at the
roadside after his companions had
failed to save his life. In the same
region were found Nelson's clothing
and the car the bandits had fed in
after the battle.
Cowley was the man who killed John
Dillinger, chief of the gang to which
Nelson belonged, and he also was in
command of the posse that ran down
and killed "Pretty Boy" Floyd in an
Indiana cornfield not long ago.

Tendance of witnesses, and require
production Of records. The commits
sioner is also charged with the duty
of supervising all persons receiving a
parole from the Governor, and may
require such persons to make to the
Commissioner such reports as he
thinks proper. He must report any
violation of a parole to the Governor
as soon as such violation is discovered.
The Parole Commissioner is requir-
ed to be at least thirty years of age,
citizen of the State, and resident
and voter for at least four years. He
receives a salary of four thousand
dollars annually, and is appointed by
the Governor for term of two years.
His office is in Baltimore City.
The Commissioner of the Land
Office is provided for by the Constitu-
ton. The Commissioner is appointed
by the Governor, with the consent of
the Senate, and serves during the
term of the Governor. His salary is
fifteen hundred dollars per year. His
Office is in the Court of Appeals
Building at Annapolis.
Originally the Office was one of
great importance, as in the early days
of the State great deal of the land
was unsettled and was owned by the
State. 1t was the duty of the Land
Commissioner to act upon applications
for Land Patents, and this often in
volved conflicting claims; therefore an
appeal was provided from his decision
to the Court of Appeals. 1t is still his
duty to act upon claims for patent to
vacant or newly discovered lands, and
strange as, it may seem, there are APP
plications received every year. Quite
recently newly discovered land was
claimed in the industrial section of
Baltimore City, and resulted in long
and bitter litigation. During the build
ing of the Hanover Street Bridge, the
"fill" caused ISLANDS" to arise from
the bottom on either side, and what
had been land covered by navigable
water was claimed by the alleged dis
coverers, the City and the adjacent
property owners.
In this Office is also kept duplicate
record of every deed, mortgage and
release recorded anywhere in The
State. In this office also are the
records of Marylanders taking part in
the Revolutionary War, records of
British property forfeited by the
State, records of Wills, administra-
tions and chancery proceedings from
the earliest days of the Colony and
State to the year 1777. i5s3

TAX COLLECTION
RATE SLOWER

Tax collections in Arlington
county are coming in at a slightly
slower rate than at the same
time last year, it was announced
yesterday by County Treasurer
C. T. Jesse, in issuing a warning
to all taxpayers their bills must
be paid by December 5, or be
subject to a S per cent increase.
Although $87,4l5.O2 had been
taken in up to the close Of bust
ness Tuesday, as against $S2,'
431.16 for the same period last
year, the present figure repre-
sents only IA per cent of the total
levy, while last years figure was
almost is per cent. The total
levies for the two years were:
1884, $613,407.33 and for 1888,
1854, 1882. The difference is
accounted for in the increase in
the tax rate from 1920 to $2.40
for the year 1884.
The total valuation for the
county this year was set at $685.
1872, $50, as against $25,4l1,925 for
