Hough Avoids Reference to
BIanton in Presenting
Health Fund Plea.

Without mentioning Representative
Blanton, who offered to fight local
doctors after his address to the Dis
trict Medical Society's mass meeting
Sunday had been termed Jasmine" DR..
William H Hough, chairman of the So
ciety's Public Health Committee, asked
the support of the Costello Post,
American Legion, last night in the
medical profession campaign for an
increased health budget here. The
post adopted a resolution supporting
the society.
DR.. Hough, who made the charac-
terization of Blantons address, spoke
at post meeting at 1880 Fourteenth
street. but avoided reference to the
society's quarrel with Blanton.
Referring indirectly to a charge by
b Blanton that doctors on the public
pay roll are spending too much time
on private practice, DR.. Hough said
the medical porfession is interested in
an increased public health appropria-
ton mot because it will mean money
in their own pockets, because it
won't"
"All the Medical Society is inter-
eSted in," he said "is that adequate
equipment and accessories be fur
nished, not increased pay"
The death rate in the District is
such. said DR.. Hough. that you have

Jackson, O'Neil and Mullen headed
q list of witnesses summoned by the
defense as it opened its case today.
McMullen is charged with accepting
two round-trip railroad tickets to
California from Silverman as a "re-
ward" for favoring him in contracts.
Continuance Granted.
Failure of several defense witnesses
to appear after conclusion of testi-'
mony by the first three witnesses
caused William E. Leahy, chief de-
fense attorney, to ask for continuance
of the trial until tomorrow. This was
granted by the court.
Leahy disclosed afterard to re-
porters that there was uncertainty
among the defense attorneys as TO
what witnesses should be called next.
This will be settled at conference
late today, he said.
Dern's Testimony Sought.
Dern also has been summoned by the
defense, but the War Department has
indicated he will not appear. because
he must pass on the findings of the
court-martial Leahy plans to make
q vigorous argument as to the neces-
sity for Dern's personal appearance.
The defense was taken by surprise
when the prosecution suddenly rested
Its case late yesterday. Leahy imme-
diately moved for directed verdict Of
acquittal, charging that the Govern
ment had failed to produce proof of its
charges that McMullen accepted the
railroad tickets as reward for trying
to influence the War Department in
Silverman's favor.
Leahy conceded McMullen had re-
ceived the tickets from Silverman and
had used them. but he declared this
act, Of itself. did not constitute wrong
doing on the part of his client. He
contended the prosecution had not
produced lone scintilla of evidence"
tending to show that McMullen
accepted the tickets as "a gift, reward
or bribe."
Col. Charles w. Thomas, jr., trial
Judge advocate, and Maj. James E.
Morrisette, assistant trial Judge advo-
cate, strenuously opposed Leahy's
motion, and the court sustained their
plea for denial.

not yet been set down for hearing.
The actual tax in controversy be-
tween Adams and the Bureau of
Internal revenue amounts to 81 ,665. 90.
Decision by the bureau to allow
closed bank stock losses in three banks
in 1888 returns is of vital importance
to thousands of stockholders in these
closed banks throughout the city. There
was no definite indication as to
whether this Is to be taken as
precedent for bank stock in other
closed banks of the city. In financial
circles here, hope was expressed that
the decision would be precedent.
Disclosure of the decision at this
time became important to stockhold-
ers, because of the statute of limita-
tions, which now begins to operate
against stockholders, unless they have
filed their proper claims for losses.
Tentative losses by depositors in the
closed banks Of this city were deduct
ible in the calendar year 1894. on
returns filed last March. 1888, based
on percentages of probable loss suf-
fered from each of the banks, disclosed
by the Government. The statute of
limitations has not yet run against
depositors.
Assessment DeductibIe.
The amount paid by stockholders
because of additional liability assess
ment also is deductible by a taxpayer,
but this deduction is taken in a diff
ferent manner from the original stock
loss, it was explained.
In view of the large number of suits
pending here over such stock assess
ments in closed banks, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue explanation of this
point is of importance now as tax
payers file their 1885 income tax re-
turns due on or before March Is.
In the case of a stockholder who is
contesting his liability, it was explained
by an official of the Revenue Bureau,
the assessment is "deductible when
liability is finally admitted or adjudi-
Gated"

In the meantime the politicians are
playing their old game. The Paris
diplomatic convention is finished.
Kings and Prime Ministers had a great
time while it lasted.
A difficult problem confronted the
French and the Little Entente states
men. How to replace Italy as the
protector of Austria without giving
offense to Mussolini.
And they managed it more or
less satisfactorily. Prince Star
hemberg promised to be a good boy.
He pledged himself not to bring
the Hapsburg dynasty back Without
the precious consent OF Csechoslo-
uakia, Runaania and Yugoslaptd.
In exchange these countries prom
tsed to support Austria's independ-
ence.
Thus while Italy has not been
pushed out of the role Of Austria's
protector. the little republic has added
three other countries to the list Of
its defenders.
X
II Duce still has the right to loan
money to the Austrian government,
but he is no longer the dictator Of
the republics policies.
X
OF course, Mussolini is nobody's
fool He knows in what direction the
wind is blowing and is fully aware
of the fact that France and the
Little Entente are endeavoring to
save" the Danubian States from
Italy's hegemony.
This is the real reason why Signor
Pelligrini, the Italian Air Minister,
visited Berlin last Saturday week.
The Disit OF the italian minister
of cpiation tpas unheralded. He
arrired in Berlin unoStentatiously
and had long interviews NTH Herr
Hitler and Gen. Goering.
Italy, is is whispered in diplomatic
circles, is prepared to give up her
ambitions in Central Europe for the
sake of carte blanche" regarding
her Colonial expansion in Africa.
Whether an air agreement between
the two dictators is now being ar
ranged nobody can tell. But it is
certain that Mussolini Is not in the
Christian mood of offering his left
cheek to be slapped. He intends to
return blow for blow.

convention was King Carol Of Ruma-
