Coxey's Army Veteran Fights
To Keep Ruts IN Gates Road

Pat Springer, who came from Penn
sylvania to Washington with Coxey's
Army in 1894, yesterday announced
his intention of going to court be-
cause his neighbors are filling some Of
the deep ruts in Gates road, which
adjoins his property.
1.-THE land where the road runs Is
mine" declared the rugged, white
whiskered fiower-raiser, now about 80
years old. who has little white crosses
over his doorways, which his neighbors
say are his signs to keep evil spirits
away from his property. "They can't
fill my property up that way.
There Is some rotten business In
this, and it will come out when it gets
to court"
Six hundred feet long, Gates road, .
winding thoroughfare, was used Is q
military road during the Civil War,
when "Old Joe" Gates. whose daughter
Is Mrs. Springer, owned the land on
both sides of it, as well as thousands
of other acres scattered as far south
as Dupont Circle.
1.-THE road has been In such miser-
able condition" said Mrs. Leslie B.
Wright, one of the neighbors, "that our
children have been unable to ride their
bicycles to school, and fire trucks could
not come up here under any circum.
stances"

BY DON 8. WARREN.

DIX OON .. WhhnENs
Ordering preparation of a 10 or Is
year city development and finance
program, Commissioner Melvin C..
Hazen yesterday proposed the adop-
ton Of a Federal payment toward
District expenses based primarily on
theoretical application of the realty
tax rate to the huge amount of tax
exempt Federal holdings here.
Long an advocate of a definite
formula for determining the size of
the Federal payment, Hazen cited
Annually recurring uncertainties as to
the present lump sum as a major diff
f1culty to long range planning for
needed Capital improvements.
Such a formula would place the
Federal payment for the present at
| $s,250,000, as against the S5,700.000
proposed in the Senate action on the
1887 District budget aud the s2,700,-
600 figure written into the bill by the
House. A Federal payment Of s8.-
100000 had been proposed by the
Commissioners.
Hazen charged the standing Dis
trict Tax Committee with the re-
sponsibility of planning development
of a 10-year or longer program and
recommending any necessary revision
of the District tax system to meet re-
quirements.
Analyze Various Needs.
The proposed new five-year school
expansion program, laid before the
Commissioners Friday by the Board
of Education, Hazen turned over to
the Tax Committee for analysis along
with needs for new welfare institution
facilities, Fairgrounds, new jail, ex-
pansion Of the plant at the District
Work House, hospital development and
planning for construction of the Mu-
nicipal Center.

Under a resolution adopted by the
Republican State Convention Of
Michigan, Senator Vandenberg will
be formally placed in nomination for
President at the national convention
in Cleveland in June.
The Michigan Senator has insisted
for months he is in no way a candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
He said yesterday that, while he was
complimented by the action Of the
State convention, the situation so far
as he is concerned is the same.
In some measure, however, the sit
uation has changed. Formal notice
has been given that Vandenberg's
name is to be submitted to the dele
gates at the convention. At Vanden-
berg's own request, there was no effort
to instruct" the delegation to vote

Under specific permission con-
tanned in an executive order issued
by President Roosevelt, the special
House committee investigating old age
pension organizations may examine all
income tax returns filed In past years
by persons connected with the pen
sion movements, 1t was learned last
night.
The order and accompanying reg
ulations issued by Wayne c. Taylor,
acting Secretary of the Treasury, were
filed with the division Of the Federal
register late Friday. but escaped pub
lie notice until last night.
Quoting his authority for the order,
President Roosevelt directed that "in-
come, profits and capital stock tax
returns made under the revenue act
Of 1884, the national industrial recov-
cry act and the prior revenue acts
shall be open to inspection by the
special committee investigating old
age pension organizations"
Regulations Cited.
In his regulations for proceeding
in compliance with the order, Taylor
said:
THE inspection Of returns herein
authorized may be by the committee
or by or through such examiners or
agents as the committee may desig-
nate or appoint. Upon written notice
by the chairman of the committee to
the Secretary Of the Treasury, giving
the names and addresses of the tax
payers whose returns it is necessary
to inspect. and the taxable periods
covered by the returns, the Secretary
and any officer or employe of the
Treasury Department shall furnish
such committee with any data relat-
ing to or contained in any such re-
turn, or shall make such return avail
able for inspection by the committee
or by such examiners or agents as
the committee may designate or ap-
point, in the Office of the commits
sioner Of internal revenue. Any in
formation thus obtained by the COM
mittee which is relevant or pertinent
to the purpose of the investigation
may be submitted by the committee
to the House of Representatives"

WITH THE NORTHERN
ARMY BELOW DESSYE by
military airplane to Asmara).
April 25.-There is a lessening
in the necessity for caution by
the Italian military censorship
as strict as any in the history of
warfare-becauSe of the recent
Ethiopian defeats, and this cor
respondent therefore is permit
ted today to tell the story of
the true situation.
This correspondent is with the Ital-
ian first Army corps of 10000, far
down the l50-mile road to Emperor
Halle Selassie's capital.
AL North Ethiopia is completely
subjugated. Many influential chief
tains are submitting daily in the prin-
cipal northern cities, apparently eager
to climb aboard the Italian bandwagon
which is due to roll into Adds Ababa
within two weeks.
Not shot was fired in defense Of
Dessye which was for long time the
field headquarters of the Emperor, and
it was learned Asia Wosan, eldest son
of the ruler. almost failed to leave
with the garrison of about 1000 men.
May Be "Puppet Prince"
1t is believed he will accept offers to
become puppet prince when the time
is ripe, probably when the Italians
reach the capital.
The most difficult things to under
stand in this have been the fragmen-
tary radio bulletins and stories from
Adds Ababa recounting great victories
by the Ethiopians.
When the Ethiopians claimed they
had encircled Makale few months
ago, was in the field with Marshal
Badoglio on the spot where, if the
Ethiopian reports were true, we were
80 miles inside their lines.
Every Italian effort is now being
concentrated on the capture of Adds
Ababa so swiftly that the Italians
hope it will take away the breath Of
sanction-favoring powers.
Twenty thousand laborers and every
soldier not needed in the lines have
been thrown into the enormous task
of turning the 2-foot wide mule trail
from Amba Alagi, $50 miles north Of
Dessye, into a stone road capable Of
holding up under the pounding Of
thousands of great military trucks.
This has been done in little more
than two weeks.
Ammunition Sent Ahead.
Now trucks are concentrated here,
leaving with daily supplies of ammu-
milton for the troops ahead.
In a few days, a great automobile
caravan carrying thousands of men
will start for Adds Ababa from
