Is Indicted
For Fraud

Miss Elzina Howell, 6O-year-old
spinster, who already has served
q prison term for fraud here, was
indicted by the District Grand
Jury today on a charge Of larceny
after trust.
The woman is accused by the
Grand Jury of having obtained ST..
131 from Katherine fitzpatrick,
507 Third st. N. W., on November
%, 1895, telling her the money
would be invested in a well-known
utility stock and that a large re,
turn would be realized from the
transaction.
BORROWED MONEY
Miss fitzpatrick borrowed the
money from her friends and
relatives, she told the grand jury
and sent it to Miss Howell in New
York. It was only recently that
she made demands for an account
ing and was unable to obtain a
satisfactory explanation from Miss
Howell, she said.
Miss Howell was sentenced to
serve sentence of four years
and six months here in 1929 after
she was convicted Of larceny after
trust In connection with a world
tour" scheme perpetrated against
Miss Irene Biggs and Miss Lillian
Gerard, two nurses.
FUNDS MIsAPPLIED
She had told the young womer
that she had arranged the tour
for them and that she would act
as their depository.
After the young women EN-
barked for their trip they found
that their funds had been mis-
applied and had difficulty in re
turning to Washington to pres.
the prosecution.

INCOME TAX
IS ADVOCATED

CONTINUED from Local Page)
sales tax have recommended sim
liar exemptions.
In defense of his advocacy Of
a sales tax. with no exemptions,
MIR. Brylawski pointed to the diff
ficultieS of administration when
exemptions are included.
At this point in the testimony,
Mr.. Dirksen, whose State has
adopted a sales tax, declared:
I'm Illinois we have solved
that problem rather expedi-
tiously. We begin with a tax
on the diaper with which we
come into the world and go to
. tax on the Shroud with which
we go out Of the world"
A graduated income tax was
urged by representatives of the
citizens committee on fair taxa
tion and the United Federal
Workers of America, who told the
subcommittee that this type Of
taxation is the fairest, because 1t
is based on the principle Of ability
to pay.
Arnold Tollec, of the civic af-
fairs committee Of the UFWA.
recommended an income tax
which world represent small
fraction of the Federal income tax.
He suggested a tax of one-sixth
of the amount paid to the Federal
Government. This method, he said.
would remove difficulties Of local
administration of the tax.
The income tax was also recon-
mended by Samuel LpkowitZ, Of
the National Labor Relations
Board Union, an AFL affiliate,
who was optimistic over the pos
sibility Of passing an income tax
this year because "it is an election
year."
Last year Congress refused to
consider the income tax bill which
contained a provision taxing their
own salaries. The pending meas
ure contains a similar provision.
Mr.. LipkowitZ urged a corpor-
ate income tax on net profits as q
substitute for the business privi-
lege tax which, he said, is N real
ity a sales tax.
Both of the Federal workers op-
posed any type of sales tax as con-
stituting an unfair form Of taxa
tion which, they said, would place
an unfair burden on those least
able to pay.

PLEA TO COURT

On each of three charges Hardy
was sentenced by Judge John P.
Mcmahon in Police Court to pay
a $500 fine or go to Jail for $50
days. On each of two other charges
the sentence was $500 or 180 days.
A straight 36O-day jail sentence
was given on the other charge.
In making his plea to the court
Hardy said he had been in jail
almost continuously from 1919 to
1881. No sooner would he COM
plete serving one sentence than
he would be sent back to serve
time on another conviction, he
said. His convictions resulted
from bad checks or forgeries.
One was for impersonation Of q
Government officer.
EIGHT DETAINERS
Police officials here said that
eight detainers from eight States
have been filed for the man.
Hardy's wife, known as Reggie
Wells, police said, had accom-
panied him on several of his
check-passing expeditions here.
Most of the worthless paper had
been made out for $44.85.
