'SHAKEUP'

Announcing a reorganization of
the Capitol police force as a re-
suit of recent lootings which have
occurred in the buildings on Capt.
toll Hill, Kenneth Romney, House
Sergeant|atarms, today planned
to take steps toward the proSecu-
ton of a man arrested in the
Capitol Building Monday.
The man has been detained in
the First precinct station since
his arrest Monday, booked for in
VeStigation. It is understood that
neither police nor postal author
tiles will take jurisdiction of the
case until Mr.. Romney makes
such a request.
Since the man, Louis BarbaZon,
81, is alleged by Danny McDevitt,
Capitol policeman who arrested
him, to have had mail addressed
to House members and employees
on his person when he was ar
rested, the sergeant-at-arms said
he will first confer with postal
authorities today with a view to
having them Immediately place
specific charges against Barbazon.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Romney re-
vealed that he has suspended one
Capitol policeman because Of re
cent office lootings in the Capitol
and office buildings and indicated
that changes in the ranks OF
other Capitol guards are probable.

Sergt 'Chippy WhaIen Enforced Law Even
When 1t Involved Giving Ticket
to Theodore Roosevelt

One of the possessions of which
Sergt. John Joseph Whalen, re-
tired policeman, is most proud, is
a letter from the late President
Theodore Roosevelt commencing
him for enforcing the law with
out fear or favor.
It happened many years ago at
the old Pennsylvania Railroad Sta
ton when Sergeant Whalen was
young officer. He instructed the
driver of the White House car
riage where to park the vehicle.
The coachman refused to obey
the order, and was arguing the
matter when the President arrived,
asked the cause of the argument,
and after investigating decided
the policeman was in the right
and sent him the letter of COM
mendation.
Known as "Chippy" Whalen,
he had many narrow escapes from
death. Once in Browns Court in
the old Bloodfield section, killer,
who was later hanged, placed. a
pistol against him and pulled the
trigger. The weapon, fortunately,
damned and Whalen diSarmed the
killer.
He had another narrow escape
during the race riots and was res
cued by the arrival of lieutenant,
now Major Ernest w. Brown.
After SO years service, Sergeant
Whalen retired and resides at 221

TAX
SUBSTITUTE
HELD NEEDED
Commissioner Figures
900, 900 Annual
Gain for District

Offering the first concrete sug-
gestion toward raising additional
revenue for the municipal govern.
ment, Commissioner George E.
Allen today declared himself in
favor of substituting an income
tax for the intangible personal
property tax. He said:
eve might as we'll face it
now as later. The District has
to have additional revenue.
"At the present rate, we will
have a budget of $1OO, 100000 a
year within the next 20 years,
and still be without means of
raising additional revenue"
Commissioner Aliens statement
came as the city heads prepared
to open public hearings on the Dis
trict 1888 fiscal year budget. De-
partment heads have asked $780,
100000 to meet their needs for the
coming year, which compared with
a present appropriation of $43,-
100000.
Talks With Donovan
Before committing himself def
nitely to the substitution of the
income tax for the Intangible tax,
Commissioner Allen had a lengthy
conversation with District Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan. Major Dono.
van is chairman of a committee
appointed by the Commissioners
to fi1d means of raising additional
revenues.
Commissioner Allen said the
present Intangible personal prop
erty tax yield approximately ST.
100000 year to the city treasury.
He predicted:
"A District income tax will
bring into the District at least
100000 a year more than the
intangible tax"
Major Donovan said he agreed
the taxes in the District had to be
raised. He pointed out that the
city now has on it's hands a plan
for a $25,00O,00O five-year school
building program and no means
of financing it. Major Donovan
said bond issue might be floated
to raise the funds.
Plan Has Drawbacks
AS to Commissioner Aliens sug-
gestion of the income tax, Major
Donovan was not so optimistic. He
said that eventually the local gov.
eminent would be making $4,000
600 more from this type of taxa
ton, but for the first few years
the boost over the intangible tax
yield, would be between $500 900
and $1,000,000.
Commissioner Allen said he ia
vored taxes on incomes of single
persons making $500 a year or
more and on married persons at
So 500 a year or more.

Ken Murray
Says:

That Spanish revolution keeps
dragging on with both sides
making ambitious claims, but
the only positive gains are still
those recorded on the casualty
lists. From the way they keep
knocking each other off, it
looks like they must be using
automobiles instead of machine
guns.
/ can't really understand why
the politicians are going to
such extremes to force their
ideas on the country. What's
the use of being a party leader
if your constituents can be
found only in cemeteries.
We don't know how it will
end, but from all appearances
in Europe, it's beginning to
look as though the dove Of
peace is a dead pigeon.
So Remember:
The pen may be mightier
than the sword, but the same
doesn't hold true with the ma
chine gun.
