END OF ATTACKS
|NBETHESDA SEEN
Man Committed to Insane
Hospital by Montgomery
County Police.

Montgomery County (Md.) police
believe they have precluded the re-
currence of attacks reported during
the last several months by women in
the Bethesda area with the commit
ment of 35-year-old colored man
to the State Hospital for the Insane
at Brownsville. Md.
Chief j. William Garrett today an
nounced the man was arrested for
investigation July II in connection
with an attack reported by a IT.
year-old girl on Old Georgetown road.
During the investigation there was
reason to believe he should be SUBJ
mitted to a sanity test, which was
ordered last week, Chief Garrett re-
vealed.
After an examination DR.. William
A. Murphy and DR.. G. v. Hartley
certified he was of unsound mind
and he. was ordered committed to
the State hospital at Brownsville by
the Board of County Commissioners
Chlef Garrett said Identification
was not positive, but that the latest
victim identified him as to size and
appearance and as to his voice. Due
to the darkness, she was unable to
identify his face. nor could any of
the other victims Of attacks in recent
weeks identify him positively.
The man. who was about 6 feet tall
and weighed 1875 pounds, was we'll
known to police but had no criminal
record. He admitted having been in
the vicinity at the time the latest
attack occurred, Chief Garrett said.
While proof of the mans guilt was
insufficient to warrant a criminal
charge in the case, Chief Garrett
stated he believed that with the COM
mitment of the man to the State
hospital the attacks would cease.

DOG OWNERS RUSH
TO PAY g FEES
Pets Not Licensed Are in
Danger After Monday.
Tax Crowd Small.

More than 1000 worried dog owners
stampeded into the District Building
today to lay 81 fees on the counter of
Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers to
protect their pets from Poundmaster
Frank Marks, who will send his dog
catchers into action beginning Mon
day.
The last-minute rush was unusually
large. but thousands of pets still face
the danger of being hauled of to the
pound No less than $4,000 tags should
have been sold. Mr.. Towers said but
at noon check showed only 12,5o0
had been issued.
The taxpayers. who represented per-
sons In all walks of life, were formed
into four lines, inching their way up
to cashier cages, where perspiring
clerks hastily wrote out the records of
the dogs name and the owners before
the shiny, new metal discs could be
exchanged for the 50 fee.
This excitement and rush was In
contrast to the situation in the busi-
ness privilege office and the personal
property tax office. where much smaller
crowds OF taxpayers appeared to file
their returns. which must be in by
midnight tomorrow if they are to es-
cape heavy penalties for delinquency.
Less than so people at any one time
we're in line at these two Offices, and
ofhcials estimated that large number
would be caught on delinquency pen
alties. However. final figures were not
available as the building closed, be-
cause these taxpayers may send in
their returns by mail, and If they are
postmarked prior to midnight tomor-
row they will be under the deadline.
