FEW BUSINESSES
FACE PENALTIES.
Flood of Mail Brings About
5000 Tardy D. C. Tax
Returns.

Only a comparatively small number
of business and professional operators
will face penalties for failure to file
their business privilege tax returns be-
fore the deadline last midnight, it was
indicated today at the District Build
ing.
Allan F.. Brooke, administrator OF
the business levy, estimated that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 returns were re-
ceived by mail this morning, bringing
the total filed to between $4,000 and
1900. Mr.. Brooke had estimated that
about 1900 returns would be due for
the new fiscal year.
1t was different story, however. in
the personal property and dog tax
offices. Although both were busy dig
ging out from under heavy mall indi-
cations were that some 10000 prop
erty owners will have to pay penalties,
and that thousands of dog owners will
be forced to keep their pets out OF
reach of the poundmaster until they
get their licenses.
Charles A. Russell. deputy tax as
SCISSOR. said the postman brought some
10000 personal tax returns, bringing
the total on hand to approximately
10000. Last year nearly 5000 paid
penalties for delinquency The PEN
atty in this case is an addition of 20
per cent on the assessed value of
the taxable property.
Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers
received hundreds of letters request
ing dog licenses. as scores of other
dog owners called at the tax Office at
the District Building today. Mr..
Towers pointed out, however, that
thousands OF unlicensed dogs will face
a ride to the pound unless their own
ers obtain licenses
Dog owners who have not yet paid
the 81 tax have one thing in their
favor. Pound Master Frank Marks
has only one pound wagon.

Mr. Iddings is a retired employe

is precarious one and should never
be permitted to interfere with the
more serious problem of making .

With his brother, Richard P. Id

most pleasure in the things he has

home. mile and a half away. 1t
wasn't long before Mr. Fred Iddings
was working for the telephone COM
pany. When he retired in 1880 he
had seen nearly 46 years service.
During his early years he designed
a three-way switch for telephone
circuit and while patent was pend
ing he had manufactured and sold
enough to pay for its cost. But the
patent was finally denied on a tech
nicality and he considered himself
lucky to break even. He gave up in
vention for all but energy saving pur-
poses and amusement.
However. he was one OF the pioneers
in the field of eliminating induction
from telephone lines strung near high
power transmission lines.
He was also partially responsible
for elimination OF electrolysis by which
the pipes of water pumps and other
underground steel and iron structures
become pitted by electricity escaping
underground from electric street car
rails or high-power transmission line
towers back to the generating plant.
Since his retirement from the tele-
phone company he has been working
with the Electrolyss Survey Commit
tee of Baltimore. The committee s
business is to protect underground
steelwork from the electrolysis due
to current leaking from high power
lines.
And so at 80. Mr.. Fred Iddings is
prouder Of his water wheel than the
telephone transmitter he made from
a newspaper description so years ago.

Percy was treated at Providence

the police, but the Ruffners were in
formed that nothing could be done
unless they wanted to swear out
warrant for the owner of the raccoon.
This course of action was being con-

1t was recalled that recently an
alligator was cruising through an alley

swore out warrant for the alligator's

WOMAN WINS FIGHT
FOR CITIZENSHIP
Court of Appeals Holds Miss Elg
Is American, Ending Long
Controversy,

The United States Court of Appeals
ruled today that Miss Marie Elizabeth
Elg, who was born in New York City.
but whom the Bureau of Immigra ton
insisted is Swedish subject, is a
citizen of the United States.
The ruling climaxed Miss Elg's four
year fight to stay in the United States.
She was notified in April, 1884. that
she was an alien illegally in this coun-
try and was threatened with deporta-
ton. She lives in Mount Kisco, N. Y.
Miss Elgs father, who was natu-
rallied in New York in 1906, returned
to Sweden in 1922 and not only has
remained there ever since. but has in
dicated his willingness to give up his
naturalization certificate.
Miss Fig was born october 2, 1907,
of Swedish emigrant parents. Her
mother took her to Sweden in 1911,
where she remained until 1929, when,
at 81, she returned to this country on
an American citizens passport.
Her troubles began in 1884 when
she sought a passport for visit to
her family in Sweden. Investigation
by consular officers led to their de-
cision that she was here Illegally.
