HOUSE GROUP
SCANS PLANS
FOR LEVY
Subcommittee to Vote
On Scheme to Raise
100000 More

The special House District sub
committee on taxes today set next
Tuesday as the time for definite
action on the program to raise
six million dollars additional reve-
nue. for the District.
Representative Ambrose Ken
nedy CD of Maryland, chairman
Of the subcommittee, was author.
lied to obtain aid in the drafting
of proposed legislation to carry
out each tax proposal that has
been considered by the subcom.
mittee during the hearings.
It was agreed that next Tuesday
there will be prepared for the sub.
committee a statement showing
the various forms of taxes which
have been considered, the proposed
rates for each, and estimates as to
how much each would yield.
Vote Is Scheduled
The subcommittee then will
vote on which of the taxes win be
included in the program to raise
an additional 100000.
At today's meeting, which de-
veloped into round-table discus
sion, Representative Sterling Cole
(R) Of New York urged the inpo-
sition Of an income tax on the
people Of the District, suggesting
that to take precautions against
the possibility Of invalidation by
the courts Of a section imposing
this tav upon Federal employees,
the bill be written in three sec.
tons. One would impose q tax on
District government employees, an
other on Federal employees, and
the third on all other persons in
the District.
He explained that if the courts
then should hold that Federal
employees could not be subjected
to this District income tax, the
remainder Of the act still would
produce revenue.
Sales Tax Proposed
representative Jack Nichols Cd
Of Oklahoma agreed that an in
come tax would be the most prac-
tical. If it could stand up in the
courts. However, he suggested
rather than take any chance it
might be better to enact a gen.
eral sales tax.
Chairman Kennedy called the
Sub-committee's attention to the
necessity for speeding up the work
on the program in order that it
will be on the statute books by hte
beginning of the next fiscal year,
which starts July /. He antici.
pates that after next weeks meet.
ing Of the subcommittee the pro-
gram will be laid before the full
committee at a special meeting,
and that when the program is ap-
proved by the full committee the
bill will be considered in the
House under a special rule.

APPEALSC0URT
DENIES PLEA
FOR JORDAN
"Fired" Attorney Told
Affidavit Cannot
Change Decision

Reiterating a former statement,
that it has no jurisdiction in the
fight of Thomas Jordan to obtain
a new trial for the Staying Of Mrs.
Lizzie Jaynes in the Garden Tea
Shoppe robbery six years ago, the
United States Court Of Appeals
today declined to take action on
supplemental affidavits filed yes
terday by John M. Holzworth, New
York lawyer, whom Jordan fired"
May 10.
Yesterday Holzworth filed an
affidavit stating the court had
refused to take jurisdiction only in
the petition filed by Harry T.
Whelan, Jordan's original counsel.
His own petition was still pending,
Holzworth said, and the court
docket contained no record Of his
having been discharged from Jor-
dams defense staff.
The court today explained that
it had taken no action on Holz-
worth's petition of April 80, "for
the reason that petitioner Jordan
had filed with the clerk a letter
informing us of his discharge of
his attorney, Mr.. Holzworth." The
court order continued:
"The serious nature Of the
matters involved, however, impeI
US now to say that we duly con.
sidered the April 30 petition and
the affidavits filed in support
of it, prior to our former deci.
sion and reached the conclusion,
to which we now adhere, that
we are without jurisdiction to
grant the relief asked. The let
ter of Petitioner Jordan to the
clerk Of this court, Of date May
10, 1887, referred to above, dis
charging Mr.. HOlzwOrth as his
attorney, will be filed with the
papers in this cause and noted
on the courts record"

Committee RecesseS
D. c. Police Probe

After hearing the testimony of
two witnesses, the special House
District Subcommittee appointed
to probe charges Of corruption in
the police department and District
attorneys office in connection
with the Jordan case recessed to-
day until noon tomorrow.
Representative Vincent L. Pal
miSano Cd of Maryland, sub
committee chairman, would make
no statement as to whether or not
the charges, made by John Holz-
worth, recently dismissed as
counsel for Jordan, appeared to be
Substantiated.
The witnesses heard today were
Israel F. Good, Jordan juror, and
Holzworth, who will continue on
the stand when the subcommittee
resumes it's executive session hear
ing tomorrow.
The probe was instituted as a
result of the action of Holzworth
last week, in declaring before a
House District Committee that
members of the police department
were guilty of perjury and sup
preston Of evidence and that the
District Attorneys office had sup
pressed evidence in the trial Of
Jordan, convicted Of killing Mrs.
lizzie Jaynes in the Garden T
Shoppe holdup.
The subcommittee was named to
hear Holzworth's purported evil
dence and to determine whether
or not a sweeping inquiry should
be made by the House District
Committee, into activities of the
Police Department and District At

D. {. HEADS RAP
BUDGET SLASH

Despite the fact that it will push
the expected District deficit for
1888 up another 100000, the
District Commissioners today re-
quested a Senate subcommittee to
restore the budget items cut from
the bill by the House.
AS hearings opened today before
the District subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
and District Auditor Daniel Dono-
van headed a list of officials seek
ing more money for their various
departments.
Although the hearings were
held behind closed doors, it is
understood close attention is be-
ing given to each item by the sub
committee under pressure of the
economy wave now rampant in
the Senate.
In the first of the general state
ments made to the subcommittee
it was pointed out that the Com
missioners deemed it necessary to
have the budget figures restored.
They are far below the figures
first asked for by the Commits
Sioners.
It was also pointed out that ad-
ditional taxes will have to be
raised to meet a deficit of So, 100,-
900 under the House bill. If the
budget figures are restored, it is
estimated the deficit will reach
more than 100000.

An orchestra was playing be-

conversation. At least six eager
women were crowding around Mr..
Lewis and looking adoringly at
the big labor leader. One spoke
up brightly: a
"Oh, Mr.. Lewis, you are 50
much handsOmer than Thought
you could be. Why do you seem

John L. looked at her coldly,
and deity replied:

Pretty Esther HurStOn Skilled
In ArtS and Interior DeCOrNting
Young D. G. Woman
Always Seeking to
Learn Things

f0T arts in q serious 1D1y.
A tetO haze turned profess
SionGl, but most of them haze
studied sculpture, painting and
ceramics, or IDritten books and
tostered musical centers for
their DUN pleasure and that of
their families and friends.
Personality stories on these
iDon1e1t and their tDorE tDiIl be
printed in q series by The Wash
inOton Times.
She is young, petite, exotically
beautiful and chuck full of artistic
ability.
Her apartment in the Westches-
ter is indicative of her personality
and is, without a doubt, one Of the
loveliest in the Capital City.
She is Esther Hurston, the wife
Of DR.. Maxwell Hurston, Washing
ton physician.
On the day of this interview,
Mrs. Hurston was wearing loung-
ing pajamas Of black satin, with
crimson lame blouse that set off
her black curlS, red lips and white
skin, giving her the look Of
brilliant tropical flower.
But there is nothing exotic in
her manner. She has the simple
ity and naturalness of a young
girl, combined with the gracious
ness of one who likes her fellow
men. And she's very practical.
Systematic Person :z..a. ....
She wants to learn things-lots
of things. And she goes about it
Systematically. Her practicability
in one so pretty is almost anus
ing. She jotS down the things
she wants to do and see and the
places she intends to go. And
when they are accomplished-she
draws a neat little line through
them. The tiny black leather
book she carries is full Of neatly
written notes, with lines drawn
through them.
She is studying music seriously
and she spends hours at the grand
piano in her drawing room.
Recently she decided to learn
to draw - just because she
couldn't. Her charcoal studies at
Corcoran were, to her amazement,
so good that now she is going in
for art in a big way. She hasn't
any definite plans about the type
of art-not yet-she will just go
on working until she finds her
field. She tells you this simply
and without affectation.
Patient, Too
Her soft little chin gives no hint
of the firmneSS behind it. When
she decided to "do" her apartment
her first-she just called in the
painters and told them about it.
Perched on a wooden box in that
empty flat she watched them mix
the paint. It took from 10 O. N.
to 2 p. m. to get the exact shade
of ashes Of roses for the living
room and the right green for the
bedroom. But she got it.
She picked up a pair Of original
French SidelightS worth about
$3.50 from a secondhand store
for IS. They were hidden behind
a pile Of junk. And she draped
the wall back of her French bed
with white satin, suspended from
a coronet, achieving an effect OF
breath-taking beauty.
One of her most artistic effects
is an iridescent bowl full Of white
Gala lilies on the piano while her
breakfast room, with its yellow
walls giving the appearance Of
sunlight and gay provin-
cial furniture, is so enhancing

Class Forming

George D. Lane, director Of the
Washington Conptometer School,
announces that q new class in
comptometer operation is now
being formed. In addition to
learning to operate the compton,
eter, students will receive thor
ough instruction in modern bust
ness arithmetic.
Lane, who is also district man
ager of the Felt and Tarrant Man
ufacturing Company, makers Of
the comptometer, said reports
from the main office in Chicago
and from branch offices through
out the world indicate that there
is still a shortage of trained comp
tometer operators. This Is due
partly to the great increase in the
