WARSAW, Nov. 1.-Negotiations
between Germany and Poland over
the fate of thousands of Jews
stranded along the frontier original
ly planned for today now are sched-
uled to begin tomorrow.
The problem arose Friday when
Germany started deporting thou
sands of Polish Jews before a new
Polish law went into effect requir-
ing the revalidation of passports OF
Poles living abroad. IL
Some of the 5000 Jews who
reached Zbaszyn, Poland, still were
without lodging last night. Private
premises were requisitioned for them
today. Army tents were pitched
last night for those without shelter
Bakers worked around the clock to
help feed the refugees.
Unless Poland has powerful argu-
ments TO advance for those already
returned to their homeland, il
seemed likely the diplomatic con-
versations would center on those
who were quartered on the border
but had not yet been taken across
when a truce was called in the
movement. The estimated 5000
awaiting determination of their fate
on the border were mostly men.
Finding shelter and food and later
homes and jobs for those already
returned to their homeland caused
the Polish government and private

REAL ESTATE TAX
ABOLITION URGED
Lewis Introduces Measure to
Raise Money in District by
Other Systems.'

Abolition of all taxes on real es-
tate in the District was proposed in
a bill introduced today by Senator
Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois.
The measure provides all taxes on
real estate used as homes or on houses
used as habitation shall be abolished
and there shall be no taxation
upon land or houses within the Dis
trict of Columbia"
The bill further provides that any
taxation heretofore realized by this
system Of taxation on homes shall be
forthcoming by other systems than
that of the taxation upon houses and
homes inhabited as residences"
Senator Lewis explained he had two
reasons for introducing the measure
he does not believe in putting taxes on
peoples homes and he considers the
system here all wrong.
The Federal Government, he ar
eued, should pay for keeping up the
seat of government. Asked what taxes
he would substitute for the present
real estate tax, the Senator replied:
Something that the Federal Govern
ment would pay and not the people
who live in the District" ..-.., 49,.

Only to Face Ne,U
Penalty.

Rollie Rector, an ex-convict who
pleaded guilty falsely to charges of
bank robbery and kidnapping three
years ago In an effort to avoid serving
a longer term on another offense, has
been released from Alcatraz Penitenti-
ary and given q full and unconditional
pardon by President Roosevelt, it was
announced today at the Department
Of Justice.
Instead OF obtaining freedom under
the pardon, however. Rector has been
turned over to Texas authorities and
lodged In the Ell Paso Jail. awaiting
commitment to the State penitentiary
to serve sentences imposed on the pre-
vious charges.
Investigation has established that
Rector was In the county Jail at Padu-
cab, Tex, on burglary charge on Oc-
tober 10, 1884, when the First National
Bank Of st. 10, Tex, was robbed by
three men, who kidnapped two officials
and two customers. Rector and two
other suspects were indicted for this
robbery on March 26, 1885, and all
three pleaded guilty.
The pardon was signed March 21 by
Mr.. Roosevelt. on recommendation of
Attorney General Cummings.
1T has been made to appear to me
that the said Rollie Rector pleaded
guilty to the Federal ofTense to avoid
the service Of term Of II years in the
Texas State Penitentiary and is inno-
cent of the Federal offense to which he
pleaded" .
Several years ago Rector was SEN
fenced on State charges to term Of
nine years and was paroled after serv-
ing four years. He became involved in
a robbery and the theft of two auto
mobiles at Henrietta, Tex, and was
sentenced to serve a total of IL years
in the State Prison. He was in the
Wichita County Jail in February, 1885,
when questioned by Federal officers as
to his possible connection with the
st. 10 robbery.
Instead OF being dealt with leniently
by Federal authorities, Rector was
sentenced to serve 20 years at Alcatraz
Tor the st. 10 bank robbery and the
kidnapping.

tor said this program serves the dou-
bic purpose of helping the farmers
and supplementing the diet of the re.
lief recipients.

Approval.
By the Associated Press.


The Senate approved today a record
peace-time naval appropriation Of
$549, ,227 .842 for the next fiscal year.
Rejecting amendments which would
have taken from the Secretary Of the
Navy the authority to contract for pri-
vate construction and repair of vessels,
the Senate sent the bill back to the
House for action on amendments.
The appropriations, increased net
OF S32 ,348 over the amount voted by
the House would provide $l40, SOC, 900
for warship construction during the
next fiscal year. OF this amount,
S119,641 ,050 would go into ships now
being built and 18,422.l00 into new
construction
The new construction includes two
battleships.
The Senate approved the measure
after Senator Clark, Democrat, Of
Missouri, opponent of the bill, charged
that the country was being whipped
into state of hysteria' to obtain sup
port for the administrator sl.l00.-

arate measure.

Just before the members approved
the bill and sent it to the Senate
they accepted a s282,729 amendment
by Representative Thomason, Demo-
crat, of Texas to increase from 800
to $50 the number Of r. o. T. C.
graduates to receive training in the
Regular Army.
About s18,000,000 OF the bills total

ton was for the Air Service.

The measure involves an addition
Of 476 planes in the next two fiscal
years. increasing the Army's total to
1902 planes, although only 1920 will
be "serviceable" by July l, 1910. The
War Department had 1926 planes on
hand and on order January l.
Little opposition to the bill de-
veloped in three days debate. Seven
OF the 10 attempts to alter it were
defeated. In addition to the Thomason
amendment, the House accepted pro-
posals by Representative Powers, Re-
publican, of New Jersey to add $4,000
to rebuild the Fort Niagara, N. Y,
barracks destroyed by fire, and by
Representative Eberharter, Democrat,
Of Pennsylvania to eliminate s5o,00O
authorization for an intermediate
