Joe Snow Pitches Moose 10 Victory; Makes Another
 Home Run

With Submarine Lewis in the box for the first four innings last night, it appeared as if the down trodden Elks might stagger to their feet with a win, but Joe Snow both hit and pitched the game that kept the Elks in the eel lar with score of II to 2 chalked against them.
 Fans were well settled in their seats when the seven-inning bat tie started and stayed so until the second inning when the Elks shook loose their mist of oppres- sion for one canto, taking three hits and three runs from Snow. Eddy Nielsen showed improvement when he took a single from the left handed pitcher and was pushed along with Wiley by Kumasakas single. KumaSaka made the score } to o when Taguchi doubled.
 Moose Settle Down
 <. It was in the third that Beeryes- ga, playing his first game of the season, took base on balls and was brought in by Collins sacrifice.
 And then, sparked by Lucky Law son, who has been staging a come back, the Moose got down to busi- ness, Ten men went to bat in the fourth and seven runs were made. It was a long half inning and the MooSemen made it count, taking four hits from the arm of Lewis.
 Werner was walked and took sec ond on a passed ball. Sogaard of the Haida made the first bag on Taguchi's error, and Blake made the sack on Kumasaka's pebble. When the exciting inning ended after Joe Shows over the fence home run, the Moose had pushed up the score to to 3. Lawson. Col lins, Snow, Werner, Sogaard, Grum- melt and Blake had made the tour, thanks to four hits and two er- TOTS.
 Elks Score in Sixth
 In spite of a fast double play by Snow, Grummett and Collins, that put away the first two men, the Elks succeeded in chalking tip two runs in the sixth. Both Niel- sen and Kumasaka were told to take their bases and were pushed around by Lewis double. The Elks pitcher was left on base when Ta- euchi put his nine back into the field by striking out.

 The Elks, however, rallied in the last of the seventh to bring up the score but only two and not enough runs were made. It was Ellenburg's second single that got him to the first sack, and it was 'Waldrons homer that made the score two points higher, but when Addleman and Wiley were put out the score was unchanged and the game was over.

Romney Denies
Rules to Restrict
Capitol Visitors

There will be no unusual restric-
tions on visitors to the Capitol
Building, despite reports to the con-
trary, according to an announce
ment last night by Kenneth ROM
ney, sergeant-at-arms of the House.
Mr.. Romney, who also is chairman
of the Capitol Police Board, made
the announcement to contradict a
published report that visitors would
be required in the future to furnish
credentials before entering the
building. He said tourists are being
allowed to inspect the building as
always.
The only change in the regula-
tions, Mr.. Romney said, requires
that employees who enter the Capitol
after it is closed to the public carry
Identification cards
Mr.. Romney denied reports that
additional safeguards had been
taken at the Capitol as a result of
the bomb explosion at the New
York Worlds Fair. He likewise de-
scribed as untrue stories that men,
bers of Congress might be required
to carry Identification cards in order
to enter the Capitol after regular
closing hours.

Second Death Laid

Woman Dies Of Hurts
Received When Struck
BY Car June u

The second death from hit-and-
run drivers multiple-accident ride
across the city on June % was re-
corded yesterday, when Mrs. Edna
Mitchell, 40, colored, died at her
home in the 300 block of Twelfth
street NE.
Richard S. Nestlerode, 26, of the
1900 block of Maryland avenue NE,
alleged operator of the automobile,
already is charged with negligent
homicide in the death of Joseph
Nappo, SO, of 1850 Tenth street NV.
Police said Mr.. Nappo was hit at
Ninth and M streets by the same
car that injured Mrs. Mitchell. Cor
oner A. Magruder Macdonald said
that evidence in the Mitchell case
will be presented to the grand jury
in addition to evidence in connec-
ton with the Nappo death.
Following an autopsy, DR.. Mac

Court Ruling
Sought by D. {.
On 'Domici|e'
70 Picked Income
Tax. Refund Claims
Rejected; Suits Hoped

District officials are moving to
get court ruling on the meaning
of "domicile" in the District income
tax law. it was learned yesterday.
Tax Assessor E. A. Dent said he
has selected 10 refund claims from
the approximately 1000 protests
filed and has notified the taxpayers
that the refund has been denied.
The selected cases cover most of
the troublesome phases of the domi-
cile question, he indicated, although
the amount involved is only $2,627.
The Court of Appeals has already
ruled on the meaning of "domicile"
in a case involving the now extinct
Intangible personal property tax.
The court held that residence in the
District was not "domicile" if legal
residence was maintained else
where. The District has claimed
under the income tax residence is
"domicile." Mr.. Dent hopes enough
persons out of the 10 will appeal
the issue to get court clarification
OF the word as it relates to the in
come levy.
The assessor said the remainder
OF the protests would be held in
abeyance pending some action on
the test cases.
Appeal to the Board of Tax Ap-
peals is the next step in the pro-
cedure and 10 v. Morgan, sole
member of the board, said that only
one protest has as yet been placed
before him. 1t was pointed out that
the others have 80 days in which to
indicate their intent to appeal.
Meanwhile Mr.. Dent is busy pre-
pairing the real estate bills for the
present fiscal year, the first half of
which will be paid in September.
He said 10000 bills are being pre-
pared on real estate valued at ST.
235, 100000. Last year the value
was s1.21l 100000, the increase being
due to improvements on the property
rather than to any rise in actual
value OF the land, he indicated.
The assessor pointed out that
property owners can have their bills
mailed to them if they send in their
address and lot number, but that
otherwise the bills would have to
be called for. The last installnNnt
OF the bills is due next March.

Bid Openings Tuesday
For Coolidge Hiqh GYM

Bids will be opened Tuesday at
2 pm. at the District Building on
the girls gymnasium of the new
Calvin Coolidge Senior High School
for which a special appropriation
was required when the original
allotment was found to be in
sufficient.
Because gym construction had to
be postponed until the supplement
tary money was made available,
District officials estimate the Dis
trict is losing about $4,000. Had
the gymnasium been built along
with the rest of the school, it could
have been done for about $4,000,
1t was stated. The present estimate
is about $4,000.
The school was completed, except
for the girls gym, last spring and
will open in the fall. The gym will
require 180 days to build following
the letting of the contract.
