Alive and cheerful after locomotive
and eight freight cars ran over him
on the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
tracks, Jimmy Seis. aged 21a years,
was playing with his favorite toy-a
"choo-choo'-in his home at 900
Hamlin street northeast today.
Jimmy was playing on the tracks,
which pass his home, shortly after
pm yesterday when the train struck
him. Knocked Unconscious. he sprawled
between the rails while the train
roared over him-and his injuries were
two small cuts on the back of his head
and a puffed cheek.
His escape from death was the main
topic of conversation in his neighbor-
hood today and at the B. g. o. yards,
where not even the oldest employe
could remember similar case.
Jimmy who had never strayed away
from in front of his home, was playing
with one of his three brothers, Walter,
jr. How he got out on the tracks. no
one could explain. When his mother
came out to look for him he was gone.
Mrs. Seis heard the train stop with
a screeching of brakes, but thought

nothing of it until she heard some
one calling:
Say, is this your boy?"
She looked around and saw r. w.

holding Jimmy's inert form. His head
was covered with blood. Nearly
frantic and believing the child dead,
Mrs Seis rushed him to Sibley Hos.
pital and straight to the operating
room.
When the blood was washed from
Jimmy's head, however, it was dis
covered there were only two small
gashes to be sewed. One stitch was
enough for each of them.
Jimmy was not very talkative today
because of the puffed cheek, but he
was not afraid of trains. He pointed
out where the engineer sits and where
the smoke comes out, using his bat
tered locomotive to demonstrate.
Perhaps that was because his
grandfather was a railroad man, and,
Mrs. Seis remembers, was once struck
by train, too, and lived to tell
about it.

FIVE MONTGOMERY
INTRODUCED
Prince Georges Delegation
Contributes None to
Special Session.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS. Md, March THE
Montgomery and Prince Georges
County delegations shattered a mark
of long standing during the first
legislative week that came to an end
yesterday.
Only five bills were introduced by
the Montgomery group. while the
Prince Georges lawmakers have not
made single presentment. Ordinarily.
the two delegations deluge legislative
hoppers. In 1885 they combined to
present approximately one-third Of
all the measures.
The five Montgomery bills are in

sion, remedial or emergency local
legislation during the extraordinary
session.
Hits Double Jobs.
A Statewide measure, bearing the
name of Miss Ruth E. Shoemaker,
would make it unlawful for a men,
ber of the General Assembly to hold
a job under the State government. as
do several members attending the
current session on relief.
The county delegation has spon-
sored bills to repeal both the Mont
gomery anti-trapping law that is all
lowing predatory animals to prey on
game and the law permitting the
county commissioners to levy 2 cents
on the 500 in Bethesda district for
maintenance of the NeWcomb- Beth
esda Public Library.
Would Cut Huckster Fees.
State Senator Prescott introduced a
bill yesterday to reduce the cost of
county hucksters' licenses from s10O
to $50. He put in bill Thursday
designed to raise $4,000 a year for
modernization of the County Law
Library at Rockville.
The latter would be accomplished
by dedicating one-half the proceeds
of court fines and forfeitures up to
the sum of $4,000 to the purchase of
new volumes for the library.

D. c. LIQUOR TAX
. CITED AS MODEL
Copeland Bill Supporter
Would Use System
Throughout U. S.

The Districts method of collecting
its local liquor tax by the sale of
stamps for the full amount of the
tax was cited before the Senate Finance
Committee late yesterday in support
OF a proposal by Senator Copeland,
Democrat, of New York to apply the
same system to the collection of the
Federal liquor tax throughout the
country.
The Districts experience was re-
ferred to by Eugene Greenhut, ap-
pearing for the National Civic Fed
Grafton. in support of the Copeland
plan. In lengthy statement Green
hut contended the Federal Govern
ment is failing to collect all of the
liquor taxes due it.
Sees Bootlegging Encouraged.
Referring to survey the fedora
ton made over a period of a year,
he said:
THE study definitely demonstrates
that there are just two primary fac
tors which in themselves result in
losses in collectible revenue of hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually
by encouraging bootlegging. rum run
ming and illicit distribution, and, at
the same time, cause retail prices to
the consumer to be at least so per
cent higher than necessary. These
two primary factors are % the pres
ent method of collecting at the source
the 50 Federal excise tax and the
present existing import duties due on
foreign spirituous liquor sold in the
United States; I'd the use of strip
stamps as sole evidence that all taxes
and import duties have been paid on
any bottle to which a strip stamp
has been affixed"
The Federal tax is 50 per gallon,
but the strip stamps used by the
Government to show payment of the
Federal tax are issued for l cent.
Details District Law.
In urging adoption of the Copeland
amendment the witness said that
right here in Washington is the per-
feet operating example of how effec-
lively this plan could be used to COL
lect the taxes which are due the
Government under the law"
Continuing. Greenhut stated:
For 1885 Federal excise taxes were
paid on about 100000 gallons. Each
outlet averaged tax payments on ap-
proximately 435 gallons for the full
year.
In the District there were 653 out
lets paying the 50-cents-per-g gallon
District of Columbia tax by affixing
a Cancelled tax stamp on each bottle.
During the same 12-month period the
District A. B. c. Board collected taxes
on approximately 1,985,00O gallons
of spirituous liquor, or more than 5000
gallons per outlet.
Therefore, during a corresponding
period the District of Columbia taxes
paid by stamp at point of retail sale
were more than six times the Fed
eral excise taxes collected at the
source"
The Finance Subcommittee, headed
by Senator King. Democrat, of Utah,
may act on the Copeland amendment
in executive session today.
