OLIVIA HALE DIES
LEAVING $4,000
HOARD TO SISTER
Sanity Hearing to Be-
Asked for Roberta

Olivia Hale today was beyond
the comforts and luxuries that
might have been provided by the
$4,000 fortune which she and her
sister, Roberta, carefully boarded
during the last half Of their
poverty stricken lifetime.
Olivia, who was 90, died at 4
p. m. yesterday in Gallinger Hos
pital, of complications resulting
from a fractured hip. While
Roberta, 80. lay near her in an
other hospital bed which she may
never leave.
STRICKEN LAST DECEMBER
The two spinster sisters, de-
scendants of a proud Virginia
family, were taken to the hospital
last December, when a physician,
summoned by representatives Of a
charitable organization, discovered
their plight.

block of Second st. N. W., Roberta
was suffering from burns sustained
when a candle ignited her clothing,
and Olivia was helpless from a
fractured hip, suffered as the re-
suit of q fall while attending her
sister.
Not until the sisters were per-
suaded to visit the hospital for
treatment was the fortune dis
covered, hidden away in drawers
and closets and furniture of the
room.
RELIEF CHECKS UNCASHED
There were many uncashed
checks, most of them contributed
by relief organizations, but the
bulk of the $4,000 was in paper
currency, folded neatly and packed
into bulging envelopes. Some Of
the bills were Of post-civil war
vintage.
Yesterday Roberta became sole
heir to the fortune. John Carmody,
a lawyer engaged by relatives, said
he would petition court to declare
her of unSound mind, so that a
committee might be appointed to
manage her estate.

Senate last winter at the first session
OF the current Congress. has been
pending before the House District
Committee since February II, 1887,
with no action whatever.
The measure would apply the pres
ent District lottery law more specifi-
cally to the numbers by making any
one operating such a game or selling
tickets on it or merely possessing
numbers sales slips guilty in varying
degree. with penalties ranging from
$500 fine to three years in the peni-
tentiary.
Occasionally such raid on an al
legged numbers headquarters as that
which the police staged last Satur-
day night in the 900 block of Second
street NE. net few prisoners and
some thousands OF numbers tickets.
Use State-Line Escape.
But many OF the numbers mag
mates maintain headquarters outside
the District. in Maryland or Virginia,
the police say, and thus are pretty
well beyond the reach of undercover
detectives.
And SO the racket goes on, with
the occasional raid interrupting only
a handful Of the thousands of per-
sons engaged in it regularly.
With Senate bill I'll enacted, the
authorities agree, the runners and
writer's and every one else concerned
in the racket could be arrested when
ever there was evidence in the form
OF the ubiquitous sales slips.
Thus. they say, some of the "big
boys could be nailed on conspiracy
indictments. And even those who
succeeded in evading the Law and
keeping their connection secret would
find the vital arteries Of their illicit
commerce-the pickup men and the
writers-subject to constant arrest.
which would leave the business in
pretty bad way.

EXEMPTION FOR HEAD OF
FAMILY

A head Of family is defined by
1ncome-tax regulations as an in
oividual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more persons who are closely con-
nected with him by blood relationship,
relationship by marriage, or by adop-
tion, and whose right to exercise fam
lily control and provide for these de-
pendent individuals is based upon some
moral or legal obligation" The ex-
emption allowed head Of a family
Is s2,500. The phrase "in one house,
hold" may be interpreted as meaning
the taxpayers personal residence, an
apartment. rooms in a boarding house.
hotel. etc.
Under certain circumstances 1t is
not necessary that the taxpayer and
his dependents live under one roof
during the entire taxable year in
order that the taxpayer may be al
lowed the exemption. If the common
home is maintained and the parent
Is away on business or q child is awav
az school or on visit, the exemption
Is allowable. Moreover, if a parent is
Obliged to maintain his dependent
children with relatives or in q board
ing house, while he lives elsewhere.
the exemption still applies. If, how
ever. without necessity, the dependent
makes his home elsewhere, the bene-
factor Is not the head of a family.
The same rule is applicable to the
term living together" in the case Of
. husband and wife. If occasionally
and temporarily the husband is away

common home being maintained, the
$1,ooo exemption still applies. The
unavoidable absence Of husband or
wife at . sanatorium does not pre.
clude the exemption. But if the hus.
band continuously makes his home At
one place and the wife at another
they are not living together within the
meaning Of the revenue act.

ON BUSINESS TAX
Three Suits Asking for In.
junction Being Heard
simultaneously.

A hearing was begun today before
three-ludgc statutory court on three
suits seeking to enjom collection of
the Districts business privilege tax
on the ground it is unconstitutional.
The issue once before was placed
before a court here. but no ruling Of
the constitutional questions involved
was obtained because Justice jennings
Bailey of District Court found that
the plaintiffs business did not in
volve interstate commerce, as had
been claimed.
Arguments opened about IL am.
TO-DAY before Chief Justice D. Law
renee Groner of the United States
Court of Appeals. and Chief Justice
Alfred Wheat and Associate Justice
James M. Proctor of the District
Court
Cases Heard Simultaneously.
The cases. which were to be heard
simultaneously, concern suits by the
District Grocery Stores, Inc; Max
Shapiro, president of the Wholesale
Produce Dealers Association of the
District of Columbia, and Fisher
Brown, Inc, and seven other produce
and meat dealers.
At the beginning Of the hearing,
however. Attorney w. Gwyn Gardiner
obtained leave of court to withdraw
his injunction suit, pay the demanded
tax under protest and file suit in a
Nf Ia NY,
Special Assistant Corporation Coun-
Gil 10 v. Morgan promised the court
and Mr.. Gardiner he would see that
the District Grocery Stores were
served Immediately with rule to
show cause why their licenses to do
business should not be suspended for
non-payment of the gross receipts tax.
In this way the grocery stores may
pay the tax with the proper legal
protest; reserving their rights to sue
for its recovery.
Technicalities' Avoidance Hoped.
Mr.. Gardiner said he hoped by this
means to avoid technical objections,
which might arise in injunction pro-
ceedings before a final determination
OF the constitutionality Of the law.
In the two other suits, the business
privilege-gross receipts tax law was
attacked as imposing an unconstitu-
tional burden on interstate commerce
and as discriminatory in that no tax
for the current year is required of
concerns entering into business later
than last August II, the effective date
of the law
The hearing today was on questions
raised by motion to dismiss, made
by the District Commissioners and q
motion for a preliminary injunction
filed by the plaintiff.
The business concerns were repre-
sented by Attorneys Alvin L. New
