Mathematician Boundary

The boundary dispute between In
diana and Michigan occurred in
1884. Michigan desired the line be-
tween the states moved some ten
miles south of its present location,
which was fixed by congress in 1905.
Ihs change would have excluded
Indiana from access to Lake Michi-
gan except through another state,
and deprived it of a. ten-mile
strip Of territory. Michigan's claim,
accordingly, was resisted. Congress
finally settled the question (183S)
by confirming the present boundary,
but extended Michigan's territory
into the Lake Superior region.

Capture Follows Chase by
Scout Car and Gun
Skirmish.

A series Of depredations that in
cluded two robberies, q wild ride and
Q skirmish with police over a period
OF four hours beginning At midnight,
resulted early today In the capture Of
two Of three suspected white men.
The sequence Of events started when
two bandits invaded the property Of
the Langdon Mill IL Lumber Co., 2l50
Bryant street northeast, where they
seized Paul Kearney, colored night
watchman. They trussed him up, hand
and foot, knocked of the combina-
ton OF the safe, but failed to open
1t, stole three adding machines and
three typewriters, loaded them on a
Langdon lh-ton truck and drove
away.
Tattoo on Arm Clue.
Kearney later freed himself and
notified police. He told them he had
noticed q heart-shaped tattoo mark
on the arm Of one Of the men.
Meanwhile, Archie Lawrence, taxicab
driver, 603 E street southwest, was
driving past the Globe Liquor Store,
at 7o3 Seventh street southwest, when
he spied the Langdon truck. The
glass window Of the door had been
smashed In. Three men inside the
store. carrying cases of liquor to the
truck, threatened to shoot him II he
did not keep moving.
Finishing their Job, the men sped
away in the truck, which was later
sighted at Howard road and Nichols
avenue southeast by Patrolmen r. e.
Burton and F. w. Sanford, who were
cruising in an eleventh precinct squad
car. When they pulled alongside, the
policemen said, the driver tried to
sldesWipe them, and then sped away.
The officers fired. one bullet piercing
the trucks windshield. The driver
had his head out Of the window and
the bullet barely missed him.
Truck Chased to Line.
Burton and Sanford chased the
truck to the Maryland line and then
abandoned the chase. Back at the
precinct station, they found a lookout
for the robbers. Starting again, they
secured Anacostia. They found three
men walking on Alabama avenue at
Anger street southeast. They fled.
and the officers, giving chase, captured
two Of them.
From this point the officers drove
with their prisoners to Wheeler road
near the District line, where they found
the truck abandoned On it they
found supply of whisky, but none of
the articles stolen from the lumber
mill office.
On the arm of one of the arrested
men was a heart-shaped tattoo mark.
The two were booked for investigation,
while police continued the search for
the third one.

PRESIDENTS WIFE
HELDNOT FAVORED
BY Any Other Name, She
Would Have Gotten Tax
Advice, Official Says.
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, by any
other name, still would have received
Treasury Department advice as to
her income-tax liability.
The declaration, made today by
Q high ranking official of the de-
partment. was the Treasury's first
contribution to the mild controversy
stimulated by Representative Hamil-
ton Fish, Republican, of New York last
week in his disclosure before the spe-
cial congressional tax evasion commit
tee that Mrs. Roosevelt had escaped
paying income tax on receipts from a
radio broadcasting contract by means
of assigning the income to chari-
table organization.
Mrs. Roosevelt had beaten Fish to
the punch few days earlier by tell
Ing how she had asked the advice Of
the Treasury Department on the ex-
tent Of liability under the circum-
stances noted and had been told that
she would not be subject to any in
come tax.
A Long Time Policy.
According to the Treasury Depart
rent spokesman, it has been long
time policy OF such divisions as the
Bureaus of Internal Revenue, Gus
toms, Narcotics and others to COM
ply with written queries as to tax liza
bility under certain hypothetical con-
ditions. One of the most famous
such instances cited was as long ago
as 1920 when Daniel c. Roper, now
the Secretary of Commerce, but then
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
handed down declaratory judgment
for the late Senator Couzens of Mich
igan. then concerned about the tax
liability involved in transfer of some
Of his Ford Motor Co. stock.
Under the present administration.
however. the policy has been extended
gradually and efforts are being made
to place Its working on a more sys-
tematic basis, thus lending greater
consistency and authority to the rul-
ings.
1t was explained, Of course, that a
line must be drawn between queries
which the department might reason
ably be expected to answer and those
for which tax attorney-of whom
there are some $4,000 registered with
the department-should be engaged.
Was Typical Query.
For instance. department advisers
will not undertake advance opinions
where the whole involved corporate
structure and dealings Of a company
are factors. Neither will they give
rulings calculated to facilitate avoid
ance nor those involving some hint
OF lllegality. Few OF the latter are
submitted to the treasury in advance,
It was pointed out.
On the other hand, the compare
lively simple problem raised by Mrs.
Roosevelt is typical of the kind Of
questions which are answered, 1t was
said.
Much Of the impetus for extending
the policy of declaratory judgments
In the present administration OF the
department has been furnished by
Herman Oliphant, general counsel,
who calls the theory of making ad-
ministrative law prospective my par
ticular hobby"
Onphants contention is that the
law should not be in such q "petri-
fed state that no responsible TN.
terpretation is available until after
long litigation.
