taxes was made today.
The demand was made in a let

win c. Hazen and David McCoach
and Tax Assessor Fred D. Allen.
The letter vas signed by D. N.
Shoemaker, $500 Eastern Ave. N.

It was understood from an au-
thoritative source that the letter
was prepared in part by attorneys
for the Treasury Department, al
though officials of the department
asserted the subject is none OF
their business.
Hospitals Named
Hospitals named in Shoemaker's
demand are Garfield, Sibley, Elmer
gency, Columbia, Casualty, Homeo-
pathic, Episcopal. Georgetown and
George Washington.
Asserting these institutions have
forfeited their right to be consid-
cred as benevolent or charitable
institutions because of their
action in closing their doors to
members of the Group Health AS
ISOLATION, Shoemaker said:
1.-The foregoing hospitals are
not institutions of purely public
charity, since they discriminate
l1nreasonably against persons or
ganized to obtain adequate med
ical care; and they are not con-
Quoted without charge to in
mates, profit or income, since
they do make charges to pa
