NEW LIQUOR LAW
TO Be ENFORCED
Drinking Must Cease at z
Am. on Week Days and
Midnight Saturdays.

Drinking Of liquor must cease
promptly at am. on week days and
at midnight on Saturdays under the
terms Of an amendment to the Dis
trict liquor act, signed yesterday by
President Roosevelt, the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board warned today.
The warning was issued to put H.
censed ''on-sale" dealers on notice,
since the board plans strict enforce
ment. The amendment was adopted
by Congress after complaints had
been voiced against the practice oi
customers of restaurants and clubs OF
placing large orders for drinks just
before "curfew" hour and then con-
Stunning drinks thereafter.
Under another amendment the
Commissioners are given discretion in
the matter of requiring retailers to
buy their liquor supplies from District
wholesalers rather than from out-of-
town concerns.
There has been complaint from Dis
trict wholesalers who have to pay an
annual license of S1,500 that they
were unable to compete with foreign
wholesalers, who have to pay but Sl0C
for a solicitors license here, to do the
same business.
The A. B. C. Board, under another
amendment, is given power to suspend
licenses for violations. In the past
they could only revoke permits or seek
fines at Police Court.

D. c. ASSESSMENTS
JUMP S5,2OQ,0OO
FOR PRESENT YEAR
Real Estate Valuation in
Washington Is Set at
$1,13s,0O0,0
BIG INCREASE is SHOWN
IN PERSONAL PROPERTY
Assessor Richards Proposes Legis-
lation for Taxation Of Motor
Vehicles by Weight.

Real estate owners of the District
during the present fiscal year will pay
taxes on assessments totaling approx
mately $1,138, 1000, an increase OF
about $5,2O000o over the total for the
year which ended last June 80,
Assessor William P. Richards said to-
day.
The estimate was made after Rich
ards had submitted his annual report
to the Commissioners showing the
real estate assessment base for the
past year totaled 81, ,l32 1927, ,649. Due
to reductions in assessments made to
account for declines caused in past
years by the effects of the depression.
the 1885 fiscal year total was lower
than that for the p&eceding five years.
Land Assessments.
For the past year assessments on
taxable land totaled $87,742,55l and
on taxable Improvements $645 ,085. .098.
At the S1.50 realty tax rate the levy
was $6,992,4l4. The value of new
buildings and additions added to the
bose in the past fiscal year was
$6.575 200.
The tax on tangible personal prop
erty was S973 1895 10, an increase over
1884 of s32, ,349 S8. Richards attributed
this to increased values, particularly
in stock in trade, and the larger
amount of stock carried by mer-
chants.
The intangible personal property
tax amounted to S2,043.525. National
banks were assessed 6 per cent gross
earnings tax totaling $198,801; and
trust companies, at the same rate,
S171,770. The gas light companies, at
per cent OH gross earnings, had a
levy of $250,157; the Potomac Electric
Power Co., at per cent on gross
earnings, s403,264; the Chesapeake &
Potomac telephone Co., at 4 per cent
on gross earnings, $373,l95; the street
railway company. at 4 per cent on
gross receipts, S290,491: and incor-
porated savings banks, taxed at 4 per
cent on gross earnings. less interest
paid to depcsitors, SIS, 1895. Building
and loan associations, at 2 per cent on
gross receipts. paid $1oo,2o3.
Recommendations Made.
Richards again recommended legis-
lation to require gasoline importers
to post bonds to guarantee payment
to the District of the gasoline taxes
they collect for the city government.
He also suggested that Congress be
asked to enact legislation providing for
taxation of motor vehicles by weight.
rather than by value. This is one OF
the subjects to be studied by the
Municipal Taxation Committee re-
Gently named by the Commissioners.

WORLDS WHEAT OUTPUT
OVER 3 BILLION BUSHELS
Estimate Is 100000 Gain Over
Last Year, but Carryover
Is Less.

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department yester-
day reported world wheat production,
excluding Russia and China, probably
will reach 3,520,o00,O00 bushels this
year, an increase of about 100000
over last year.
However, the department said, world
wheat supplies outside of Russia and
China appear likely to be about
100000, 900 bushels less than last
year."
This decrease, the department said,
resulted because the world carry-over
at the beginning of the current crop
year was about 0O,000,000 bushels,
a decrease of 300,000,000 bushels
compared with a year ago.

PRONOUNCED SUICIDE
Leslie J. woodring Of Chevy
Chase Found Dead in Auto
on Highway.

Leslie J. Woodring, 81. of 4521 STAN
ford street, Chevy Chase, Md, was
found dead in his automobile on a
Prince Georges County highway late
yesterday. Carbon monoxide gas had
been pumped from the exhaust of the
automobile inside the closed car and
Coroner Louis Gundling of Prince
Georges pronounced the death suicide.
The body today was held at the
Gasch funeral parlors, Hyattsville, to
await funeral arrangements.
The car apparently had been parked
on the road between Buena Vista and
Mitchellville since Tuesday. The body
was discovered by Louis Woods, a mail
carrier Of Lanham, who notified
authorities
woodring was in the contracting
business here.
His sister, Mrs. L. v. Smith, with
whom he made his home, was unable
to ascribe motive for the act.

McNichol was a later graduate. The
third member Of Company F, Pvt.

for whom McNichol and Calvert gave
great hopes.
The three are among the few in
camp for whom the morning inspec-

pride. Their outdoor kitchen. set up
under canvas, is spotless and fiyless.
Just to be sure he keeps himself. as
well as his kitchen, clean Calvert takes

Because Of their efforts the 81 men
of Company F are the most satisfied
bunch in camp.
Here is their yesterdays menu as a
sample:
Roast beef with brown gravy gar
nished with onions, mashed potatoes,
corn on the cob. bread and butter,
lemonade and pineapple for dessert.
Quite often there are cakes and pies,
