Mrs. Berry.
Shocking details of Bakers tor
ture were given after Prosecutor
Smith Troy declared the crime, for
which the four men are being
prosecuted under Washington's
"Lindbergh law" included "the
most horrible sort of torture that
can be perpetrated upon man."
Baker was seized August 10 by
four men who took him to an
abandoned gravel pit and severely
beat him with whip and gouged
his flesh with pliers.
Troy charged that only forcible
restraint by his three co-defend-
ants prevented DR.. Berry from
performing an operation upon the
victim.

Z new UTILITY
.TAXESPROPOSED
FOR FOUR FIRMS
Donovan Tells Plan to
Raise Revenue

Major Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict auditor and chairman of the
Advisory Committee on the Study
of the Tax Structure Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, told utilities
companies of Washington today
proposal is under consideration
to levy a 5 per cent tax on their
net incomes and a per cent tax
on their gross receipts.
Under the proposal, Donovan
estimated $493 ,688 more would be
gained than was collected from
the levy on the gross receipts of
the four utilities for 1888.
MEETING NOVEMBER ~
Donovan asked the companies
to send representatives to discuss
plans at a meeting, November %,
with Colin F. STAN, chief Of staff
of the joint congressional COM
mittee on internal revenue taxa
ton, Chester B. Pond, director
of the District tax study, and
members of the advisory COM
mittee.
The companies are the Capital
Transit Company, Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company,
Washington GaSlight Company
and the Potomac Electric Power
Company.
At present, the transit company
pays 4 per cent on gross receipts
from street railway operations:
the telephone company and the
Potomac Electric Power Company
now pay per cent on gross earn
ingS, while the gaS-light company
pays per cent on gross earnings.
Donovan described the proposed
levy as one which would follow
closely the Federal law. A system
of exemptions and deductions sim
liar to that employed in Federal
tax legislation would be adopted,
he said.
The proposed additional tax on
utilities is only one phase of the
advisory committees study. When
the committee makes its report
next January /, it is expected rec
concentrations for alterations of
the entire District tax structure
may be entailed.
ACT OF CONGRESS
In notifying the utilities com
panies of the proposal, Donovan
said there has been almost no
change in the tax system of the
District as it relates to public util-
tiles for the last SO years. For this
reason. he said, the committee felt
consideration of utility taxes
should be made in the study.
The study was authorized May
16 by an act of Congress.

A sensation had been promised
by William B. Beirne, attorney Tor
Charles Mcdonald, who is on trial
charged with attempting to kill
Mrs. Kruger, wife of the conduc-
tor of the Kansas City Phllhar-
monte Orchestra.
Mcdonald, eStranged husband
of Mrs. Kruger's maid. is charged
with shooting the conductors VIE
on Hollywood's main thoroughfare
last August 10.
INSANITY DEFENSE
Mcdonald pleaded not guilty by
reason of insanity. His attorney
said Yesterday he would seek to
prove that the friendship between
the two women broke up McDon-
AIDS home and drove him insane.
Judge Smith ruled that no queS-
lions would be permitted bearing
upon the relationship between
Mrs. Kruger and Mrs. Mcdonald.
Such questions, he said, could be
asked when and if MCDONALD
comes up for an insanity hearing.
He permitted one exception,
however. Mcdonald was allowed
to tell about a conversation he
had with Mrs. Kruger in March.

LIFE DAY BY DAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

10000 workers; yet it is probable
that those workers would rather
have what they were getting than
nothing at all.
One man who had been start
ing up a furnace each morning
for dollar a week, raised his
charge to dollar-and-fifty cents
week. The householder solllo-
uuized: "At dollar-and-a-half a
week that would cost me ffty-tWo
dollars year, figuring that my
furnace is run eight months a
year. can install an automatic
stoker and pay for it in about
four years with what | would now
have to pay my furnace man. And
/ would have device which
would tend my furnace twenty
four hours a day. Besides, | could
use cheaper grade of coal"
So the furnace man lost his job
and the stoker people sold sto-
ker. Now what is the discharged
furnace man 10 do to make up
for the job he lost? The answer
might be make stokers:" BUT
perhaps the man. could not, make;
or SELL. or even. install stokers.
Yet there is other work he could
do. There is unlimited work to be
done which never can be done by,
labor-saving devices, =
The thing to do is not to fight
labor-saving devices;H that would
be kicking against the pricks; but
to turn to or develop work that
can be done only with human fac
ulties and facilities. The trouble
with US is not that there is not
enough work to "o around, but
that we are not doing certain
work which needs to be done.
There is endless work for every
body in the United States if we
will put our heads and hearts to
the job of making it available.
But when the law fixes mini
mum wages and maximum hours,
the employer will hire those who
