BORED STUDENT
TOURS CITY,

Little Jack Booth, who lives in
the 100 block of L st. N. E., was
one of the eagerest youngsters to
bid farewell to his arithmetic and
geography in June.
But 12-year-old Jack tired of
his rounds of Fairgrounds, swim
ming pools and summer schools.
A month of such routine summer
activities was all any Washing
ton boy who is going on Is could
stand, thought Jack.
Jack had read street car ads
which told of museums, art gal
leries and historic spots which
should be viewed by all persons
who were fortunate enough to be
residents of the District Of Colum-
bia. Jack didn't have a street
car pass, but he was confident
that his sixth grade training
qualified him to see washington
first.
So bright and early Thursday
morning, Jack set out to see what
he could see-and he neglected
to tell his mother, Mrs. Mary
Booth, about his plans.
But youthful legs grow tired
after strolling a dozen blocks of
Washington macadam when the
thermometer hovers at IS de-
grees. And Jack tarried along
Ninth Street where fruit vendors
had tempting, cooling water
melons on display.
And when Mrs. Booth became
alarmed at Jacks failure to ap-
pear at the supper table, she ap-
pealed to police for aid. They
found a tired little boy on Ninth
Street who was very eager to re-
turn to his cool sheets at the L
Street address.

CULVERT WAVE

NEW YORK, July % Q.N.S0.
His heart wrenched with anguish
and his body torn and bruised in

Umbach today sat in solitary
misery in the Palisades Inter
state Police Barracks at Alpine,
N. j., a voluntary prisoner while
police investigate the weird death
of his pretty young wife, Ottile.
Mrs. Umbach was swept to her
death in a four-foot, rocky culvert
leading 200 feet down the Pail
sades to the Hudson River during
the terrific rain Saturday night.

German family which opposed
Umbach, her childhood sweet

away to America last year. She
found and married Umbach, who
was unemployed.
Living in a squalid flat in New
York, the couple had a child
early this year which died from
malnutrition. It was destined to
a potter's grave until Marlene
DIETRICH, the film star, heard
about the case and provided
burial funds.
This summer, the plight of the
Umbachs became such that they
were forced to live in a tattered
tent on the Jersey side of the
George Washington Bridge.
When the rain started Saturday
they sought shelter in the mouth
of the culvert.

HIGH ENOUGH
ESTATETAX

While presented as a fiscal
proSram. President RooSevelt's
latest tax proposals represent in
reality a statement Of social and
economic philosophy in the appli-
cation of which taxation is to be
used as a convenient instrument
according to the National Indus
trial Conference Board.
Agreement is reached only with
one phase of the Presidents pro
posais, elimination Of tax-exempt
securities.
On the Presidents other recon-
mendations-a graduated tax on
corporation earnings, inheritance
taxes, and increased personal IN
come taxes in the high brackets
the Board finds:
"The Administration desires
a program Of taxation, the Ell
feet of which is primarily to
tax or penalize size or bigness'
wherever and in whatever form
1t may be found"
NOT FISCAL MEASURE
The Board declares the Presi-
dents message to Congress on
June 10 embodying his proposals
to be exceedingly vague OF speci-
fic details. 1t comments:
Regardless of the approach
that is made in attempting to
Justify the proposed tax pro-
gram as a fiscal measure, 1t is
practically impossible to reach
the conclusion that it is essen
TALLY a fiscal measure"
Taking up individually each Ad.
ministration proposal, the board
subjects the inheritance tax
theory to the following criticism
1. An extremely high progress
sive rate schedule is impractic-
able because q marked decline
in values before the property is
disposed of may result in al.
most complete absorption of
the estate by the taxes imposed,
or may even result in liability
in excess of the value of the
estate after liquidOtiOn.
2. Existing estate tax rates,
up to so per cent, "are about as
high as can be justified on any
ground"
3. Anticipated taxes from the
inheritance levy have been eSti-
mated at only $5,OOO,O0O an
nually.
4. Under the inheritance
estate tax proposals, if q man
worth $10O,OOO,OOO at death
were to leave his entire estate
to one son, death taxes of all
kinds would absorb almost 81
per cent of the estate.
5. Federal inheritance taxes
would invade the tax field of
State governments.

CRUISE ENDED

President Roosevelt returned to
the White House few minutes be-
fore 9 o'clock last night from a
weekend outing in Chesapeake
Bay.
The yacht Sequota, which sailed
from Annapolis Friday afternoon
for cruise down the bay, steamed
into the Potomac around Point
Lookout yesterday morning and
leisurely moved up the river dock
ing at the Navy Yard early last
night. ....
The President spent much of the
time in the bay fishing and made
several good catches. He also de-
voted considerable time to cleaning
up accumulated executive business.
Among other things he discussed
with the Attorney General forth
coming appointments to the Wag-
ner Labor Relations Board and
one or two other commissions on
which there are vacancies to be
titled. IN the main, though, the
outing was for rest and recreation.

lice said today, by the arrest of
the other. The dead man lived

Baltimore police were on their

pavement. First, thought to be
suffering from minor injuries, he
was taken to st. Agnes Hospital.
He died Sunday. Southland lived
with his wife and two children in
an apartment, 800 block K ST..
N. w.
According to police, Southard's
car was struck by an automobile
driven by Laurino. Southland, &C.
cording to his brother, Elmer,
leaped from his car and berated
Laurino, who replied in kind.
Daughter Silent
When Southland stopped to ex-
anime his license plates, Laurino,
according to Elmer Southland,
struck him from behind.
Southard'S daughter, Gladys,
20, said to have been with her
father at the time of the accident,
