WOMAN KILLED
SAVING CAT

NEW YORK.-A young matron
trying to rescue her pet cat, a
Spinister hanging clothes out of a
window and a man leaning out of
his furnished room for a breath
of fresh air-all three lost their
balance and fell to death in a
single day in Greater New York.
Afraid that her cat, Mickey,
might fall from her fifth floor
window sill, Mrs Rae Heller Yomo-
vich, %, leaned out of her apart
ment window, lost her balance and
crashed to death at S a. m. The
cat, still clasped to her breast,
was also killed.
Mrs. Yamovlch had arisen early
to make sandwiches for her hus'
band, Morris, and her two
brothers, who were going on a
fishing trip. They were out Of
sight when the tragedy occurred
and did not learn Of her death
until their return at night.

TITLE To BEACH
ST|RS ROW

BOSTON.-Who owns five miles
of fine beach on Cape Cod Bay,
the town of Barnstable or private
claimants? The land court is
struggling with the problem. It
is an issue because the full set of
necessary documents for the es-
Establishment of legal rights has
been lacking for a couple of centu-
ries. The Plymouth grant for the
setting apart of the town had
been several times the object Of
unsuccessful search. The county
Registry of Deeds had burned in
1927 and SO volumes of deeds
were destroyed. There were rec
1ords of "sceem" for the division
of the town lands and for the
reservation of the beach for "the
benefit of fisherie," but the chain
of evidence has never been COM
plete. Never, that is, unless with
in a few months a discovery has
been made which fills the gap.
The Plymouth Court Acts con-
tanned no record of the original
grant, but the latest investigators
explored the Plymouth Colony
Records of Deeds and there found
the confirmation deed" Of 1889
Now the town hopefully awaits the
decision of the court.

NY. GOESAH
WITH LOTTERY
PROGRAM

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 G.N.s).
Despite growing opposition by
church leaders and other groups,
the municipal administration
went ahead today with plans for
the new lottery, confident that a
liberal court" will sustain its
scheme for the aid Of the city's
destitute.
Shocking to Morals"
One of the first to express
indignation at the lottery plan
was Percy c. Magnus, president Of
the Board Of Trade, who wrote
Mayor LaGuardia that the meas
ure shocks the moral sense.
The Rev. John Howard Melish,
rector of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of the Holy Trinity in
Brooklyn called the proposed lot
terry robbery by mutual consent"
The Rev. Christian F. Reisner
Of Broadway Temple called for a
city-wide protest.
Meanwhile the storm Of conflict
ing opinions voiced by lawyers as
to the legality Of the bill presaged
q bitter court fight.
The lottery was pushed through
both the board of aldermen and
the board of estimate yesterday as
part of a three-point program to
raise $50, 1000, 900 program to con-
tinue relief operations.
Tax Upon Tax
The other phases Of the program
call for a is per cent tax on Fed
eral income tax payments and q
one-tenth Of / per cent tax on
gross business receipts.
Sponsors Of the lottery insist 1t
is legal because the prizes will be
in the form Of salaries to officers
in a relief association.
Tickets will be sold to anyone
over 81 and each ticket holders
name will be placed in jury
wheel. Those drawn will receive
$25 ,000-if the receipts warrant
this sum.

NEW TRIAL PLEA

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 10
G.N.SD.-The cases of AL Capone
and the two Dillinger gangSterS-
Harry Pierpont and Charles
Makley-now under death SEN
tence for killing a peace officer,
were compared in the Ohio SUI
preme Court today as attorneys
for the two doomed mobSterS made
last desperate plea for a new
trial.
The presence of Ohio National
Guardsmen at the trial of Pier
pont and Makley at Lima, for the
murder of Sheriff Jess Sarber, pre-
vented a fair trial, Miss Jessie
Levy, of Indianapolis, attorney for
the hoodlumS said.
The guardsmen were detailed to
guard the courthouse and Jail at
Lima because it was feared John
Dillinger, then alive, would at
tempt to stage a Jail delivery to
free his gang members. Pierpont
and Makley are alleged to have
shot down Sheriff Sarber during
a Jail raid October IL, last year,
when Dillinger himself was freed
from jail to start on his crime

H. c. Whitehurst, of the District
Highway Department, has already
been expressed by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Under this plan the two en-
frances to the crowded two-block
stretch would be greatly widened.
The roadway itself would be in
creased by a minimum of four
feet in some sections and by as
much as 30 feet in others.
Board Eyes Project
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission will discuss
the widening of the street at a
meeting next week. 1t is believed
it will approve the plan submitted
by Captain Whitehurst. This plan
calls for expenditure of $4,000
of District funds, with work on
the project to be started immedi'
ately.
Many civic associations already
have pointed out to District Off
Gals the need of immediate i'm
provement of F Street. The Dis
trict officials were told that, while
other sections of washington have
been improved in keeping with
modern planning, this congeSted
section which is used daily by
thousands of taxpayers has been
neglected.

) amazed at the position taken by
Senator Harrison.
It will be necessary, it was
pointed out, to introduce a tax
bill in the House at the coming
session to maintain the existing
revenues. Regardless of additional
revenues which it may be neces-
:sary to obtain, it was declared, the
mere introduction Of such a bill
will have the effect of placing be-
fore Congress untried in the
matter of taxation a measure to
which can be attached the revenue
ideas of members who will have to
wait two years before they again
face the electorate.
Bill Being Formulated
Treasury Department officials
already have spent months trying
to figure out the form which the
tax bill will take in the coming
Congress.
To tell them now, as Senator
Harrison has done, that taxation
will not mean much in the pro-
gram of the Congress which con-
venes in January, is to discredit
the very serious efforts which are
being made to make the new tax
bill as little Objectionable as pos
sible.
Although political Washington
realizes that it is highly desirable
to soft pedal the tax situation in
the face of the congressional cleo
'tions, no responsible official here
is willing to accept the optimistic
attitude assumed by Senator Har-
riSon.
There will be additional taxes
and they will be enacted by the
next session of Congress regard
less of the extent to which the
Treasury may extend itself in the
matter of borrowing.
That is the burden Of Washing
tons informed opinion.
House to Start Action
The House Ways and Means
Committee, upon which rests the
burden of initiating taxation
legislation. is not a party to the
optimism of Senator Harrison,
whose Finance Committee would
not have to deal with a revenue
bill after it had received the ap-
proval of the House.
:. Representatives of the House
committee have been in touch
with Treasury officials recently
and realize that one of the first
major problems which will come
before Congress is that of raising
money to finance the New Deal.
On behalf of the House COM
lnittee it is said they are prepared
to come forward with recomnen-
dationS for carrying on existing
taxation and for slight increases
in existing levies.
But on the House side of the
Capitol there is no such optimism
as that expressed by Senator Har-
rison. On that side it is recog-
nized that tax bill must be put
through and that it will have to
bring forth revenues additional to
those already going into the
Treasury.
