D. c. TAX INCREASE
HELD LAST RESORT
Citizens Favor 1t to Get In
provements if U. S. Fails
to Provide.
BY DON s. WARREN.

Need of a boost in the Federal pay
ment toward expenses of the Capital
so the District may meet demands fol
improvements which have been piling
up through the depression, was
voiced today as the Commissioners
opened the second day of their hear
ings On the proposed 1888 estimates.
The declaration came from H. J
Clay, vice president Of the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association
In response to point-blank question
from Commissioner George E. Allen
asking whether the appropriation re-
quests should be cut or taxes In
creased.
Allen started to shoot this ques.
tion at most speakers seeking I'm.
provements for their sections, on thl
basis of the calculations by Bulge
Oficer Daniel J. Donovan that nearl!
$4,000, 900 must be squeezed out ol
the $58, 900 estimates unless addi-
tional revenues are found.
Showdown Means Higher Taxes.
'Would you favor an increase in
taxes or cuts in the estimates?" Allen
asked Clay.
IF the Federal Government as
sumed a fair portion Of the costs of
the District there would be no need
Of either step" Clay asserted.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen in
terjected: "Ap increased Federal pay
ment is highly desirable, but what if
We don't get it?"
Clay replied: "If we come to that
sort Of showdown, then there is no
doubt there must be increased taxes
If the District is to meet the growing
needs. That is the only answer. Per-
sonally, would favor adoption of an
income tax to be substituted for the
present intangible personal property
tax, or the adoption of sales tax"
Spokesman for two other citizens
groups and a lodge Of organized W. p
A. workers also told the Commission
ers they would favor increased taxes
if that were found necessary to meet
demands.
These witnesses were z. e. Richard
son, president Of the City-Wide Play
ground Council; A. w. Lee, represent
ing the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association, and S. r. Katz, spokes-
man for w. p. A. Lodge, No. 139
American Federation of Government
Employees.
More Fairgrounds Wanted.
Richardson said he wanted the
Commissioners to approve items to
allow moderate" increase in play
grounds and playground activities.
When the Commissioners pressed
him as to whether he would stand for
q tax raise, Richardson replied:
II am a taxpayer and I am ready
and willing to pay more taxes if that
is found necessary to enable the Dis
trict to conduct services properly and
to provide for essential public i'm
provements. The only hard feelings
that I have about our tax system are
caused by our present Intangible per-
sonal property levies."
Katz urged the Commissioners to

) KILLED AS IS
TRAIN CARS BURN
Other Transients May Have
Lost Lives in Wreck.
Oil Tanks Ignite.
By the Associated Press.

ST. CHARLES, Mo-, September II.
AT least five men were killed when
18 freight and Oil cars of an MKT
train were derailed and destroyed by
fire last night 20 miles southwest of
here, and rescuers expressed fear to-
day several other transients may have
burned to death.
A transient, found Immediately
after the wreck, said before he died
he was Walter Bragg, SO, of Colum-
bus, Ohio. and papers in his pockets
bore that name.
The other four bodies were found
on the tracks several hours after the
accident occurred. Intense heat of
the burning cars had prevented .
search before that time. Two of the
bodies were burned beyond recogni-
tion, but it might be possible to iden-
tify the other two, railroad employees
said.
Bragg told rescuers four others
were riding with him, but it was i'm
possible to determine If these four
were his companions.
Farmers and residents Of small
towns nearby gathered to aid rescuers
in digging into the torrid pile Of
twisted iron and charred wood.
All of the train crew escaped injury.
The cars derailed were in the CEN
ter Of the train Of so cars. Several
oil cars burst into flames, the crew
reported, and the blaze spread rapidly
to other oil and merchandise cars.
Front cars which remained intact
were pulled to safety and others in
the rear were cut loose and rolled
back by hand by the crew.
Cause of derailment was not I'M
mediately determined.
Wrecking crews and hre. fighting
equipment were dispatched to the
scene.
The train was en- route to st. Louis
from Parsons, Kans.

Campbell and Justice Holt dissented.
The opinion, written by Justice
Eggleston, said:
I'VE think the evidence as disclosed
in the record is insufficient to sustain
a verdict of murder in the first degree.
On it the jury had the right to find the
accused guilty of murder in the second
degree, but nothing more.
1T follows that the trial court erred
in not setting aside the verdict and
granting the accused a new trial"
The dissenting opinions held that the

PLYMOUTH, England, September
1.-THE British Trades Union Con-
gress decisively rejected q popular
front alliance with Communists to-
day.
With only q few dissenting votes,
the congress approved a report OF
its General Council, turning down a
proposed united front against war and
fascism.
The trade unionists took their stand
after Sir Walter Citrine, their presi-
dent, had delivered q sarcastic attack
on communism.
There was an exciting moment dur
ing Sir Walters speech when he
pointed out that the correspondent
Of the Soviet government newspaper
Izvestia was sitting among the dele
gates.
"Get out!" the delegates roared.
The correspondent returned to the
press table and Sir Walter remarked
caustically: " imagine that was only
an attempt to demonstrate the prac-
teal working Of tho united 'front.'"

Against a background of inter-

last night by representatives Of nine
foreign nations, delegates to the third
World Power Conference today visited

Following his address, President
Roosevelt will throw a switch to begin
operation of the tremendous Boulder

Nevada and Arizona.
The dam, costing s54,500 900, was
started in March. 1881. and was
turned over to the Government by the

Rural Electrifcation Issue.
Most controversial subject before
the delegates in three sessions this
morning was that of rural electrical
ton with papers already on hand in
condemnation and defense Of efforts
of the Roosevelt administration in
that direction.
OverShadowing the purely American
issues of today. however, was the
inspirational unanimity of thought
and feeling expressed by the foreign
spokesmen at last nights giant BAN
quet in the waiting room of the Union
Station. Speaking with fervor that
seemed spontaneous, but with sim
gleness that made it seem evident that
their individual replies were consid.
cred as an entity. the nine representa-
tives of foreign nations on last nights
program each accepted his full share
Of responsibility for maintaining
world peace and pledged his efforts in
that endeavor. ...
Seen as Replies to Hull
The remarks were generally inter-
preted as direct replies to Secretary
of State Hull, who charged the dele
gates on Monday night with their key
responsibility in turning their special

rather than that of war.
