Zoo Gets Giant Forest Hoo
And Bush Pig From Africa

From Kenya Colony in British
East Africa the National Zoo has
just received specimen of the
giant forest hog, which is believed
to share honors with another in the
Bronx Zoo in New York as the first
arrivals of their kind in the United
States.
Long haired and not so hand
some. the giant forest hog, female,
is not so much of giant now-but
give her time, says William H. Black
burn, head keeper at the Zoo, and
she'll probably grow to more than
3 feet high and weigh around 400
pounds.
Another member of the porcine
family arrived from Africa along
with the forest hog. It is a bush
pig, with ID. two ferocious- looking
tusks growing out of his face. He
will be about feet in height wi1eu
full grown.
The two wild animals are the
particular pride of n. j. Lepow, ami
NAL importer, who was looking them
over yesterday and telling Mr..
Blackburn what fine specimens they
are.

Report Shows Only Is
Of $4,000 Job|ess
Claims Unexplained
Director MurshuII's
Statement "A Fine
Record, Says Hozen

Director John A. Marshall Of the
District Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board today filed with the
Commissioners a report showing
only Is cases of more than $1,000
handled by the board during the
last 16 months are unaccounted for
The report was made at the re-
quest of the Commissioners after a
survey from the auditors Office sew
eral days ago indicated inaccuracies
in handling Of cases by the board. I
After looking it over in conference
with Mr.. Marshall and the board,
Commissioner Hazen pronounced
the directors report "very satisfac-
tory" and a fine record"
Mr.. Marshall told the Commis-
sioners that from January /, 1898,
when the board first began to
recognize claims, to May 81, 1889,
55,158 claims were made, with 2.61l
erroneous payments made on which
the auditor filed exceptions.
74O Are Auditors Errors.
OF these erroneous payments, Mr..
Marshall said 740 were the result of
auditors errors, leaving a total of
1871 exceptions. OF these, Director
Marshall reported, 1,491 are in proc
ess OF adjustment, which he said in
some cases meant returning money
to the board. OF the remaining $50.
Mr.. Marshall said, 355 were fraud
cases being handled by the legal de-
partment, leaving IS for which
there were no explanations.
During this period, the. survey
showed, nearly $2,50O,OOO was dis
bursed to more than $4,000 claim
ants.
Mr.. Marshall blamed the tardiness
OF some employers in filing taxes
and reports for most of the overpay-
ments and underpayments which
have occurred. He made it clear that
this report, made today, did not in
clude any underpayments, saying
that the statistics on these would be
made available later.
No Audit Before July 1.
Mr.. Marshall's figures. however, do
not correspond with those in the
auditors office, because no audit
was made of board accounts prior
to July l, 1888, although the board
had been making payments since
January.
Beginning last July, however, IL
additional clerks were made avail
able on the auditors staff to handle
the boards accounts, which have
been audited as of the beginning of
the present fiscal year. The audi
tors accounts are complete also
through last March, whereas Mr..
Marshall's report runs through May
1t is understood the auditors Of
flee plans to audit the accounts
prior to last July as soon as there
is time to do so and to keep up with
the current accounts.

Reassessment Work
To Get Under Way
In Montgomery
Survey to Be Started
In 5 Upper Districts
Of County

The general reassessment of Mont
gomery County will be started be-
fore July with the first work sched-
uled for the five districts in the
upper portion of the county, William
P. Richards, in charge of the project,
announced today.
Fifteen assessors will be named
first, three for each of the five
districts, Damascus, Laytonsville,
Barnesville, Clarksburg and Pooles-
vile. Others will be appointed as
the work progresses and plans for
assessing the more populous dis
tricts In the suburban area are COM
pleted, Mr.. Richards said.
All the assessors working under
Mr.. Richards, formerly assessor for
the District, will be from Montgom-
cry County. A schedule is being
worked out to insure that not more
than one assessor is a resident Of
the district being assessed.
To Take Eight Months.
The project is expected to take
eight or nine months. It will be the
first assessment in II years, during
which a large increase in population
and property values has been made
throughout the lower portion of the
county. Estimates as to the total
amount the assessment will add to
the taxable base range from $l0,-
600 900 to $50, 1000, 900.
While the assessment Is under
way, . map Of the entire county,
listing each property, whether lot
or farm, and each building or i'm
provement, will be compiled as a
permanent record, S. M. Hamilton,
chief clerk for the reassessment, said.
Aerial maps made for the soil
conservation survey by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture will be used in
the upper part of the county while
maps and plats from the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission
and the Maryland-Na Capital
Park and Planning Commission will
form the basis of the new map in
the suburban section.
No Suitable Maps Available.
These will be compiled on a basis
Of 400 feet per inch for the suburban
area and 1000 feet for the rural
sections, so that property lines as
we'll as homes and buildings can
be listed in a permanent record, he
said.
For the past several days, the
county has been secured for suitable
maps to aid the assessors and none
could be found to suit the general
purpose. One of the best maps un-
covered was made several years ago
by the Silver Spring Fire Depart
ment, and will be used until better
one can be compiled, Mr.. Richards
explained.
The assessing cards are expected
to arrive this week and will be put
in the hands of the assessors as soon
as they are named by the Board
Of County Commissioners. Several
days will be required to give instruc-
tions before the men take the field,
according to Mr.. Richards.

Senate Votes Bill 10 Add
To Midshipman Quota

The Senate passed and sent to the
House today bill increasing the
number of midshipmen allowed the
District at the Naval Academy from
6 to Is
The Senate measure, introduced by
Chairman King of the District
Committee. would require a candi-
date for Annapolis to maintain a
continuous residence of five years
in Washington before his appoint
ment. AS amended by the commit
tee, the bill provides that third
Of the new appointments shall be
made each year for the next three
years. Senator Walsh, chairman of
the Naval Affairs Committee, ex-
planned that this was to prevent a
situation where the District would
have Is appointments every fourth
year and none during the interven-
ing years.
In urging this legislation the
Massachusetts, Senator pointed out
that eight States which have a
smaller population than the District
of Columbia are allowed from Is to
20 midshipmen each. The commit
tees report expressed the opinion
that the District lis not equitably
represented when compared with
States with smaller population or
with all of the States"
The committee chairman also ex-
planned that although the District
had been entitled to five midship-
men, it actually had received only
four appointments during recent
years because of limited appropria-
tions. He added that the residential
requirement was designed to prevent
boys from various States from COM
Ing here merely to attend Navy
preparatory schools, when they
should apply for appointment in
their own States. The bill will re-
strict appointees to bona f1de resi-
dents Of Washington, he said.
