LiquOr Permits Near Churches
To Be Decided BY Board Alone

Overriding the wishes Of organized
church and civic leaders, the Commits
sioners today gave the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board carte blanche to
exercise its discretion as to whether
liquor stores may be licensed in close
proximity not only to churches. but
to public and private schools and COL
leges as we'll.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board had asked the Commissioners
for an amendment to the regulations
which would empower the A. B. C.
Board to decide if a Glass A license,
for the sale of bottled liquor goods,
may be granted to a store within 400
feet of church which was located in
a business zone, as defined by the
zoning regulations.
The Commissioners rejected that
proposal after considering the prob
lem at numerous board meetings
That proposal had been protested in
vigorous fashion by spokesmen for the
Washington Federation Of Churches
and the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations.

Instead, the Commissioners today
approved new recommendation from
the A. B. c. Board for the entire
elimination of section of the liquor
regulations. This means that if the
A. B. c. Board decides place is ap-
propriate, and unless the majority OF
the property owners within radius
of 600 feet file written protest, the
A. B. c. Board could issue a liquor
permit to place Immediately adjoin-
ing church or school.
The A. B. c. Board told the Com
miSsioners there was general authority
in the act governing the issuance of
licenses and referred to the legal pro-
vision, which states that among other
things the A. B. c. Board must decide,
before issuing license, is that the
place for which the license is to be
issued is an appropriate one. consider
ing the character Of the premises. its
surroundings and the wishes of the
persons residing or owning property in
the neighborhood of the premises for
which the license Is desired.

A collection of rare old currency
Green. once rated the wealthiest
woman In the world, went up in
smoke at the Treasury Department
yesterday.
Redeemed by the Government for
$l98,176. its face value, the collection
is claimed by collectors to be worth
close to a million on the open mar
ket.
A check for actual redemption value
of the money was made out by Will
liam A. Julian, United States Treas
urer, and turned over to the Legal rep
resentatives of Col. Edward H. r.
Green, son Of the late flnancier.
Currency collectors all over the
country will be chagrined when they
learn Of the fate of the old bank notes
silver and gold certificates, perfo-
rated, cut in half, and destroyed.
Only one case note out of the col
lection was saved-and that went to
Uncle Sans permanent collection in
the Treasury. It is $500 national
bank note, printed by the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing as one Of the
first issues authorized by the banking
act Of June 3, 1864.
Because the specimen was In much
better condition than the one in the
Treasury exhibit, M. E. Slindee, ad-
ministrative assistant to the Treasurer,
ordered 1t held. The bill retained at
the Treasury since 1865 was burned
in its stead.
Treasury experts, who know the
value Of old and rare currency, were

RESCUERS SEEKING
100 KILLED BY DAM

MiI|ion-Ton Avalanche
on Sleeping Village.
By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, May ga hur-
riedly reinforced army Of rescue
workers dug through millions Of tons
of rock-studded mud today in frantic
effort to reach the more than 100 dead
estimated to have been buried beneath
an avalanche that crashed down on
the mining town Of Tlalpujahua.
A bursting dam, high in the noun
tains Of the Tlalpujahuila Sierra Of
Northwestern Michoacan state, loosed
the 5000, ,OO0-ton mass on the sleeping
city shortly before dawn yesterday.
Reports from Ell ORC, is miles
away, said the death toll might go as
high as 500 when the last Of the once
golden silt had been cleared from the
3 square miles it buried.
The dam held back the "tailings"
left after gold had been washed out
in the cyanide metal processing opera
tions of the Dos Estrellas Mining Co.
Dispatches to the newspaper El
Excelsior said the slide buried or de-
stroyed more than 400 houses in the
town which has populat ton of 10000
Water backed up behind the mass
increased the damage.
Thirty bodies had been recovered
at dawn while Rafael Reyes, secretary
to Hoken E. Niberg, general manager
Of the company, said the dead could
be "conservatively estimated at more
than 100"
All operations of Dos Estrellas, the
second largest mine in Mexico, were
halted and nearly 5000 employees
joined Red Cross and labor depart
ment detachments from Mexico City
in relief work.
They turned great jets of water
from pressure hoses and pipes on the
silt to tear it away so the buried
bodies could be reached.
Three days Of pouring rain had
weakened the dam which buckled
about am. yesterday. sending the
accumulated mud of years roaring
down the bed Of narrow ravine upon
the sleeping town, a scant half-mile
below the workings.

Old Money, Valued at Million,

entrance of the Treasury yesterday
and asked for "the man who redeems
old currency" The captain OF the
guard sent him to the office OF F. E.
Reppert, chief Of the redemption di-
vision.
Reppert was out. so the negotiator
for the Green estate put his PROPOSE
tion to Assistant Chief w. D Beatty,
who Immediately got in touch with
Slindee.
Every one who heard about the
transaction wanted to know why
any one possessing money worth five
times its face value would turn it over
to the Government for mutilation.
Even the fact that Col. Green had
inherited $l00,O0o,000 from his moth
er's estate did not supply an answer
Nearest approach to solution came
from A. M. Nevius, vice president Of
Riggs National Bank, the gist Of
whose explanation was:
James Wade Of Chase National
Bank, New York, who is an expert on
old currency, was called on to advise
the Green estate IN the disposal OF
certain rare documents, stamps and
money.
He came upon two collections OF
United States currency, complete from
the time Uncle Sam first issued paper
money. Since there were some
thirds" or extra notes, he advised
that these be turned in to the Gov
ernment.
Right or wrong, the theory advanced
today was that the notes mutilated
yesterday were put out of circulation
with purpose-to defeat the ends Of
professional collectors.
II they had fallen into the hands of
collectors, 1t was said, the value Of
the collections now in possession Of
Col. Green would have deprecated.

President Roosevelt said today
he would ask for legislation this
session to check what he termed
both evasion and avoidance of
income taxes running into mil
lions of dollars by small group
OF wealthy persons.
He told press conference he had
received reports from the Treasury of
glaring evasions and avoidances which
had raised an important moral issue,
and that there was no question there
would have to be additional legisla
ton to plug loopholes.
Earlier today Treasury officials dis
closed they were mapping legal action
against scores of large taxpayers In
some cases, they said, civil proceedings
will be undertaken.
Fraud Charges to Be Presented.
In others, fraud prosecutions will be
recommended to the Justice Depart
ment.
Every day, the President said, new
types of cases are being revealed
He emphasized that a great ma
jority Of taxpayers were making ethi-
cal returns, and that the evasion BY
the small group was not only hurting
themselves but hitting other taxpayers
At the Capitol, Chairman Doughton,
Democrat, of North Carolina, of the
House Ways and Means Committee
said he did not think there Is any
doubt" but that tax evasions by
wealthy individuals was responsible
TOR the failure of Government revenue
TO come up to estimates.
Asked whether he thought tax
dodging by the wealthy accounted for
all the difference between revenue re-
turns and estimates. he replied:
II believe that, but I don't know
H. If they had paid all the taxes the
law intended to impose, I believe we
would have received all or more than
was estimated"
Mostly individuals Concerned.
IN his discussion OF the question
the President said most of the cases
turned up so far concerned individ-
uals.
He added the Treasury was not
ready to study the corporation phase
because so many corporations had
asked for extensions.
Giving an example of what he be-
iieved to involve moral question,
Mr.. Roosevelt said If Congress passed
. law in good faith and then some one,
through the aid of a highpriced
lawyer, invented new loophole, that
raised the question if it was moral
thing to do even though legal.
He cited one case of an owner Of an
expensive yacht who had created
corporation through which he could
rent the boat and thereby avoid pay
ment Of certain charges for upkeep.
The President said if the owner
ran the yacht out of his own in
come he could not deduct crew wages
and depreciation and the like in
making his return.
He said more cases OF this kind
undoubtedly would be disclosed, but
that 1t was not up to him to publish
the names.
Losses Run Into Millions.
Asked to estimate the amount Of
voidance, he said that while the in
uuiry had only scratched the surface
Of sample cases 1t runs into millions
Of dollars.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the social Sc
eurity taxes were being evaded in
some cases, and that while the whole
