Opened by W. P. A. Pick

The fire marsha's Office and po-
lice today sought the source of mys-
terious "hot oil" which has trickled
into Southwest Washington, pre-
sumably from some underground
t'gusher" opened by w. P. A. pick
The official "prospectors' were
searching along the course of sewer
which was opened and closed about
three weeks ago near Standard Oil
Co. gasoline pipe lines leading from
the pier at the foot of South Capitol
street to nearby storage tanks.
The fire marshsls want to know
If the supposed "gusher" is fire
hazard, while police were checking
the story of Henry Speaks, %, COL
ored, of the 1900 block of Half
street S.W, now under arrest
charged with housebreaking in an
other case. .
Policeman w. w. Knox of No. 4
precinct said Speaks admitted TAX
ing gasoline from a pipe line acci-
dentally opened by w. P. A. worker
on the sewer project. Word of the
'gusher" got about, police said, and

a gang of wise guys" in the neigh
borhood began to work the claim.
The Standard Oil Co., police said
is trying to figure how much gaso-
line was drained before the open
sewer was covered up three weeks
ago. 1t was not known If the
"gusher" was capped before it was
buried. The gasoline was brought
from Baltimore, where records must
be checked against those at the stor-
age tanks.
Several weeks ago Policeman
Knox noticed a colored youth with
couple of heavy tins on a wheel
barrow. The youth took to his heels
and the cans were found to contain
gasoline. On another occasion Knox
found some gasoline tins hastily
abandoned by persons carrying
them.
The "tipoff," however, came sew
eral days ago, when disgruntled
customer, taxi driver, who had
bought gasoline at the cut-rate price
of 10 cents a gallon, found it con-
tanned high percentage of water
He told police about the deal, and
Speaks was arrested. Police held
Speaks on an old case while they
Investigated the new one.

While they are waiting to decide
if the operation is necessary the
darkeyed youngster has developed
his checker-playing way beyond his
years.
When a nurse offered to contest
mis- checker playing supremacy to-
day he asked her loftily whether
she would take on a game of Jump
shove" She declined and they fin
ally settled on lust plain jump,
with Terry holding out for triple
game, as if six people were playing.
The checker prodigy has another
distinction besides his third kidney.

Eight-year-old Terry Gregory has
set Children's Hospital talking. Not
only has he one more kidney than
most humans but he's a whiz at
Chinese checkers and now is &C
knowledged champion of his ward.
Doctors discovered the supple
mental kidney when they were seek
ing to determine the cause of high
fever that stayed with him when
he recuperated from whooping-
cough earlier in the summer.
They think it probable that an
operation will be performed in a
few days to remove the organ, which
they think bears an infection re-
sponsible for the fever. It is lodged
atop his normal left kidney.

DistriictGift
Tax Is Urged
ByAssessor
Aliens Report
Shows $40, ,886,491
Realty Levy Income

The District tax assessors office
believes it would be advisable fol
the municipal government to impose
q gift tax Ito plug up hole in the
present inheritance tax law"
Tax Assessor Fred D. Allen so in
formed the Commissioners in SUBJ
mitting his annual report yesterday
Pointing out that the underlying
purpose Of such levy is to tax, al
tie same rates and subject to the
same exemptions as in the inher-
itance tax, any property disposed OF
by gift during the lifetime of the
decedent, Mr.. Allen said:
THUS, the gift tax would impose
the same tax upon the distribution
of estates prior to death as would
be imposed if such property were
distributed by testamentary disposi-
tons"
For this reason. he added, this
Office is convinced of the advisability
Of imposing a gift tax"
S2O,S86.491 in Realty Taxes.
Mr.. Aliens report showed that q
total of $20,886,49l in real estate
taxes was collected during the fiscal
year ending last June 30. The value
of new buildings and additions add
ed for the fiscal year amounted to
$39 .661 300. The real estate tax COL
lections were s387,939 above those
for the 1888 fiscal year.
Gasoline tax for the year amount
ed to $2.760 03777, an increase over
1888 of $102.17175. In this connec-
ton, Mr.. Allen said that during the
last year, gasoline importers have
become more cognizant of the law
regarding the filing of their gasoline
tax reports on time and that it has
not been necessary for the District
to assess any penalties for failure to
report or to pay the tax on time.
The automobile tax, based on the
valuation of cars, produced $685.
1884 in revenues during the year
a reduction from the previous year
of $146, ,775.52. The assessor said the
decrease was occasioned largely by
the drop in value of the cars from
the preceding fiscal year and be-
cause of the fact that 1889 automo-
bile licenses were not issued until
February and March.
S438,110 License Revenue.
Special assessments for street i'm
provements, condemnation, alleys,
sidewalks. sewers, ETC., brought in

License Bureau issued a total of
32.513 licenses in the amount of
$438, 110.78. This was a decrease of
s273. 1896 from the total collected
in the preceding year due to the
transfer of the business privilege
licenses from the assessors Office to
the business privilege tax division
The net business privilege tax
collected during the year totaled
$1,696, ,95235. Inheritance and estate
taxes accounted for $780, 0,641, the av-
erage tax on estates being $54164
Tangible personal property levies
returned $1,479,70437; intangible
personal property. $2,669, 1885. The
