of Washington.
II have always hoped to see this
avenue taken over by the various
States" Mr. Gregory said of East
Capitol street, land State buildings
erected here for the convenience
of the members of these States as
well as for visitors. This section has
long been neglected and it is our duty
to continue our building program in
this direction-an area which has
the most beautiful view and the
front view of the Capitol"
Mr.. Gregory described the East
Capitol street site as ideal" for
the local auditorium, armory and
stadium.
Dean Powell Emphasizes Parking.
The Very Rev. Noble c. Powell,
dean of Washington Cathedral,
Mount st. Alban, also expressed
the view that an auditorium for
Washington should be located at
some point where an abundance of
parking space will be available.
Dean Powell expressed the opin-
ion that an auditorium "is about
as badly needed as anything can
be in this city" 1t is imperative,
he said, that if such an auditorium
is to be used to best advantage, that
1t be located in some area where
unlimited parking space is available
Modern transportation being
what it is" he said, "a few minutes
more or less will make little differ
ence, if there is space for parking

No more serious error in city plan
ming can be made than to place q
building as important as the pro-
posed auditorium in an already
overcrowded area such as the Mu-
nicipal Center, in the opinion of A.
H. Gregory, treasurer of the Feder-
alton of Citizens Associations and
former president of the Stanton
Park Citizens Association. who fav-
orS the East Capitol street site for
combined auditorium and National
Guard armory.
'The solution to the problem, "
Mr.. Gregory said, lis to erect a COM
bined auditorium and armory at
the end of East Capitol street, as has
been suggested by other citizens
Here a greater number of people
could be accommodated, and trans
portation facilities would be more
readily available. AS was done in
Philadelphia. an extended track
could be laid, thus offering train
services to its very doors, and here
we will find unlimited parking con-
veniences."
Would Consider Future Growth.
A consideration of future proba-
bilities of local city growth will serve
to stress the advantages of the Eas

said. He pointed out that the east

Move for Corporation
Tax Revision Seen :
Due 10 Disappear
Demands to Cease When
Figures Are Disclosed, !,
Schwartz Says
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Senator Schwartz, Democrat. Of
Wyoming, predicted today that de-
mands for revision of Federal taxes
on corporations would disappear
"just as soon as business sees the
figures"
The Wyoming Senator, an admin
istration supporter and a recent
White House visitor, expressed the
opinion that the single corporation
income tax which would be neces-
sary to maintain Government rev.
enue, in event other levies were re-
pealed. would have to be so high
that business would prefer existing
taxes.
There will be bigger howl from
both big and little business against
necessary increases than now exists
for revision" Senator Schwartz said.
He added that most demands for
revision centered on removal of the
undistributed profits tax. capital
stock and excess profits levies. These
have been criticized as business de-
terrants, and revision advocates
have suggested as substitute a
single tax on corporation income.
Top Of 30 Per Cent.
IF this were done 1t probably
would be necessary to increase taxes
on big corporations up as high as
80 per cent" Senator Schwartz said.
Taxes on smaller corporations
might have to be raised to 18 or 20
per cent"
President Roosevelt has condi-
toned his approval of any corpo-
rate tax revision on maintenance
of revenue at existing levels.
The figures mentioned by Senator
Schwartz differed widely from
earlier estimates by Chairman Har-
rison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, who has been comforting
with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senator Harrison said It might
be possible to eliminate taxes criti-
cized by business through an in
crease of corporation income tax
rates to % per cent. He estimated
the revenue lost by elimination of
the other levies would be 5000 ,0OO,-
600 or less.
Senator Schwartz said the revenue
lost would be nearer $2700OO, 900.
Sends Data to Harrison.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press con-
ference yesterday he was sending
to Senator Harrison certain data
requested from the Treasury. The
Chief Executive said a summary Of
March Is income tax returns, on
which decision as to tax revision
has been waiting, would be ready
in four or five days.
The Treasury reported that in
come taxes actually desposited in
the Treasury in the first IS days of
March amounted to S132, ,7O9, POI. q.
which was about Is per cent less
than in the same period last year
II this percentage held up for tha
rest of the month, the Treasurys
income tax receipts for the mont!
would be considerably larger thu,
the AS 900 900 needed to fulfill bur
get estimates. In March. 1898. .
Treasury collected s723,0OO, 900.

Of the household on wyoming ave-
nue. NV. are scheduled to resume
their testimony before Justice Oscar
r. Luhring in District Court Mon
day.
Mamie Henry, 47-year- -old colored
cook. took the stand shortly before
adjournment yesterday and testified
that she found the wealthy Mrs.
Lola Crounse Stinson and her hus-
band, Joseph Whitlaw Stinson, in a
violent argument few weeks after
their marriage and heard him eX-
claim:
I'm going to have you committed
to an insane asylum and then get all
your estate"
The cook said that shortly before
her marriage to Mr.. Stinson, the
then Mrs. Crounse, widow Of a
wealthy journalist and author, told
her that she was mot going to marry
any man."
Relates Wedding Certificate Incident.
This witness testified that when
the wedding certificate arrived
about a week after Mr.. and Mrs.
Stinson returned to Washington
from their wedding trip, she and
Brown, the butler, were shown it by
Mr.. Stinson, and Brown said: Ain t
you going to show it to Mrs. Stin-
SOM" but he replied: mo, she
doesn't know anything about it,"
Mrs. Stinson, who is suing for
annulment of her marriage on the
ground that she was tricked into
It for her money, was described by
Frederick Douglas Collins, her
chauffeur, as in a highly nervous
state during her wedding at church
in Bar Harbor, Me-, September q,
1887, which he witnessed. He said
she sort of staggered" as she went
down the aisle, and the responses
had to be repeated to her before
she would answer.
The cook testified that before
the marriage Mr.. Stinson came to
live at the house on Wyoming ave-
nue., occupying an apartment at
the other end of the third floor
from the rooms in which Mrs.
4Crounse lived. The witness said in
response to question by Alvin L..
Newmyer, attorney for Mrs. Stin-
son, that she told Miss Jessica
Shoemaker, a trained nurse who
had been with Mrs. Crounse for
years. that she didn't think the
presence of Mr.. Stinson in the house
Cooked very nice"
- "She told me on one occasion that
, she was going to get him out" the
cook added.
Described as Distaught.
Miss Helen Wilson of Philadel-
. phia, who has :, a cottage at the
Chester (Nova Scotia summer COL
-ony where Mrs. Stinson has gone
r'for many years, said she seemed
vague and distraught" the summer
s.before her marriage to Mr.. Stinson.
=. When this witness described a
s''far-away look" in Mrs. Stinson's s
.eyes, Carroll Beedy, attorney for
sMr. Stinson, asked if that could
have been caused by love.
= NO." said Miss Wilson emphati-
cally.
Have you ever been in love?"
asked the lawyer.
il IT don't think that has anything
20 do with it," Miss Wilson retorted.
"- II don't either" Justice Luhring
+. said, ruling out the question.
! Mrs. Stinson, who is charging
that she was not aware of what she
was doing when she went through
the ceremony, has testified she pro-
vided trust fund of $230,OO0 for
Mr.. Stinson, though settlement of
$1,000 was effected when they sep
arated, about month after their

A Story Week In Your County Paper

cent of all traffic fatalities are suf-
fered by pedestrians has resulted in
recent official action by the National
Safety council to reduce and elini-
nate the contribution of pedestrian
carelessness to traffic accident
causes.
but even after these more obvi-
Gus causes are brought under con-
troll, accidents will continue to oc-
cur and it will be necessary to probe
deeper for the causes. believe &C.
curate, complete statistics and rec
ords are the only means that will
provide a clue to the less obvious
but equally dangerous accident
causes"
Mr.. Forney illustrated his point
with reference to many studies and
experiments going on in psychologist
cal, medical and psychiatric labora-
tories to determine personal traits
and physical defects of drivers and
pedestrians that may provide the an
swer to otherwise unexplainable ac-'
cidents. This experimental work, he
said, will be relatively useless I'M
less it is reduced to statistics and
records and made available to acct
dent prevention organizations.
There is, however" Mr.. Forney
said, mo national pattern of typi-
cal traffic accident. Each accident
has a pattern of its own, peculiar be-
cause of the persons and vehicles
involved and because of the loca-
ton. A dangerous intersection may
require entirely different engineer
ing treatment than an intersection in
another city that produces approx
mately the same number of acct
dents.
Statistics Necessary.
Local police and street engineers
are handicapped severely if they do
not have the statistical record and
pattern of every accident that occurs
at given location"
AS an indication of how little is
known about traffic accident expert
ence in some localities, Mr.. Forney
pointed out that several states and
many cities do not even have laws
or ordinances that require traffic
accident to be reported to local po-
lice, coroners, or anyone else. |
Records in every city and state
should reveal to local authorities the
answers to such questions as: How
many were pedestrians? How many
of the accident-drivers had been
drinking? What is the ratio of acct
dents in business districts to those
in residence areas? How many oc-
Cured at night, during the fog or
rain? How many came at intersec-
tons in comparison with the total
on straightaWays? What was the de-
gree of traffic congestion? Was Ell
Their car turning right or left?
ARMED with this and other sta
tistical information the police, engi-
neers and educators can proceed di-
rectly to correct the trouble at its
source"
