TaxCase
Goes Against
District
Appeals Court Rules
Two Assessments in
Same Year illegal .

The District government lacks the
power to revalue property already
assessed for taxation purposes in the
same tax year, the Court of Appeals
held today.
The municipality lost it's case in
the appellate tribunal, which ruled
that tax assessment, involving
Frederick G. Hunt and relating to
stocks, was irregular and without
authority of law" after he had paid
the assessment.
The District had claimed that the
taxpayer had omitted certain in
formation on the required form, the
court said, after the corporation
counsel had ruled that stocks held
on margin were properly taxable on
their full value. But the tribunal
held today that the taxpayer had
not failed to supply the full required
data.
Equity in Securities.
Mr.. Hunt, on July l, 1887, made
out his tax return showing an equity
in stocks and bonds being bought
on margin was s33,277. He paid
his required assessment, but after
the corporation counsel had made
his ruling, the Board of Personal
Tax Appraisers made reassessments
on the new basis of the full value
OF stocks held on margin.
Under threat of distraint. Mr..
Hunt, who was represented in the
appellate court by Attorney Eugene
r. West, paid the additional tax
under protest and brought a pro-
ceeding to recover before the Board
OF Tax Appeals for the District,
where the decision went against
him. He then appealed to the Court
OF Appeals, which held today that
the new assessment was without
authority of law.
Mr.. Hunt had commended that the
reassessment was not of property
subject to taxation and omitted from
assessment, but of property included
IN the return, assessed and duly
taxed.
The District government insisted
the original assessment was based
upon an incomplete return made by
Mr.. Hunt and that this constituted
an commission to the extent that the
return was incomplete.
weight Of Authority"
The Court of Appeals today OBJ.
served that the rule approved by
the great weight of authority in
this country is that the power to
assess omitted property does not
carry with it the power to revalue
property already assessed"
The appellate court said that the
local statute imposes on the tax
payer the duty truthfully to fill
out the proper blanks in the sched-
ule furnished by the assessor and
that Mr.. Hunt complied with this
duty. The tribunal declared that
he made true statement of his
investment in marginal stocks ac-
cording to the legal requirement
and was taxed on the item. and that
the difference between the amount
OF the investment and the value
OF the stocks was, at most, an error
in valuation and not an omission,
since omitted property means prop
erty which is not assessed at all
and not property which is merely
undervalued.

Apathy Is Shown
On Eve Of Virginia
General Election
Democratic FoctionuIism
Appears; 6. O. P. Opens
Stretch Drive

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 6.-Demo-
cratic factionalism in some sections
Of Southwest Virginia and g. stretch

With the exception of the section
allied interest. there was q marked

Only eight of the IS Senate districts
and % OF 80 House districts have
contests. In two-thirds OF the 100
counties the Democratic nominees
for county officers are unopposed.
Momentary excitement was caused
by a flood of Republican literature

Party lines in the prediction
campaign in the southwestern part
OF the State have been strained.
Center Of much of the interest in
that section is the contest for the
Senate between the incumbent SEN
ator j. w. Witten. an independent,
and Harry c. Stuart, a stalwart in
the Democratic organization headed
by Conservative United States Sen
ator Byrd.
Senator Witten defeated Mr..
staurt four years ago and is known
to be friendly to the Democratic
faction headed by Gov. Price. Both
sides are counting the Republican
vote inasmuch as there is no Repub-
llcan nominee.

Safecrackers Use
AcetyIene Torches,
Rob Store Of STATS
Two Heavy Tonks Are
Lowered From Roof
By Ropes

The safe in Sanitary Grocery
store at Bladensburg road and K
street NE. yielded STATS to a band
Of robbers in a carefully executed
burglary which was discovered this
morning.
The robbers entered the store last
night, police believe. taking two
heavy tanks of acetylene gas with
them. then deliberately and care
fully set about cutting the safe open.
Manager Harry w. Lineweaver, %,
of 1928 B street Sc, discovered the
robbery when he opened the store
this morning. He said the money
represented Saturday afternoon and
evening receipts at the store.
Lowered Tanks by Rope.
The safe-crackers gained entrance
through skylight on the roof.
After prying apart the bars of an
iron grillwork. they made a rope
fast on the roof and lowered the
two tanks of gas-weighing at least
so pounds each and measuring about
4 feet in length-into the store.
They used the rope to Chamber
down themselves. carrying the rest
of their equipment. The safe is
built into the floor of the store and
the robbers piled boxes around it
to hide their activities.
First. they knocked the knob of
the safe and poured water into the
box to keep the money from being
burned up. Then they applied the
acetylene torch, removing the entire
lid.
In addition to the cash, they OBJ
tanned sl98 worth of Endorsed checks
and took about $50 worth of
Notwithstanding coffee, meats.
candy, lard, bread and cigarettes
along with them.
Another Safe Job Fails.
They left the acetylene tanks be-
hind, but took the most of the re-
mainder of their equipment in max
ing their escape the same way they
entered. Police found five unex-
ploded rifle bullets near the sky
light indicating that the safe
crackers were armed.
An attempt to crack another safe
was under investigation today. Po-
lice reported that the dial had been
knocked of the safe at the Coast In
Garage. 400 block of Florida avenue
