Motion Made 10 Quash
Negligent Homicide Case

Judge Walter J. Casey yesterday
took under advisement In Police
Court q motion to quash Govern
ment information against Harry L.
Dixon, taxi driver, whose trial is
pending under the negligent homi-
eide act, on the grounds that the
information is insufficient to enable
Dixon to defend himself properly.

action under the negligent homi-
eide act by coroner's jury in the
traffic death last December 3 Of
Christopher c. Harris, SIS, of 2l49
California street NV. Mr.. Harris,
a pedestrian, was fatally injured by
Dixon's taxicah on Columbia road,
north of California street NV.
When arraigned in court shortly
afterwards Dixon plead not guilty
and asked for the jury trial.
The motion to quash, filed March
5 through Attorney Earl H. Davis,
was argued yesterday before Judge
Casey. Mr.. Davis contended that
the terms careless, reckless and
negligent" used in the information
are not specific as to fact, but that
1t Is q matter Of opinion as to what
constitutes each. Assistant United
States Attorney David A. Hart ar
gued that the information, as pre-
pared, is sufficient.
In the event the motion to quash
Is not granted Attorney Davis has
filed a second motion requesting
that the court compel the Govern
ment to furnish specific bill Of
particulars before the case is allowed
to be brought to trial.
No bill Of particulars heretofore
ever has been neces>~y to bring
. negligent homicide case to trial,

House 10 Get
! D. {. Bills
Tomorrow
Only Child Lnbor
Law Measure Is
Controversial

The House tomorrow plans to de-
vote It's time to consideration Of Dis
trict legislation. Only seven Of .
dozen bills on the calendar, however,
are to be called up by Chairman
Randolph Of the District Committee.
None of the measures slated for
consideration, with the exception Of
one that would amend the child
labor law to permit children Of any
age to take part in professional con-
certs or theatrical productions. Is
expected to cause any controversy.
The six others would:
/. Give liquor dealers whose L.
.censes are suspended by. the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board the
right to appeal to- the Board Of
Commissioners for review.
2. Amend the law regulating adop-
ton proceedings to require that an
adopter be presented with q certi-
fled copy Of the final decree of adop-
ton In cases where the adoptee is
born outside the District.
3. Authorize an appropriation of
$25, 600 for the employment Of spe-
cial police to maintain public order
at the 1o4l presidential inaugural
ceremonies.
4. Authorize the Presidential In
augural Committee to grant permits
for special functions.
5. Restrict the use of special con-
gressional automobile tags to the
Congress for which they are issued.
6. Change the name of a por-
ton OF Twenty-fourth street NV.
to Williamsburg lane.
Two Bills Too Controversial.
Two Of the other bills on the
calendar are regarded as too con-
troversial by Chairman Randolph
to be considered at this time. One
would authorize the Public Utilities
Commission to limit the number of
taxicabs in Washington. The other,
sponsored by Representative Schultz,
Democrat, Of Indiana, would open
the local milk market to milk and
cream from any section of the coun-
try.
Representative Randolph is con-
fldent the bill to permit minors to
take part In professional theatrical
productions and concerts for which
they are paid, will meet some op-
position on the House floor in view
OF the protest made against it re-
Gently by various women's organi-
cations. He said, however, the com.
mittee directed him to seek action
on the measure without further de-
lay.

BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

The worst tax month in history
reaches its peak this week for head
scratching and pencil whiting
Washington taxpayers.
Faced with the deadline on Fed
eral income taxes at midnight next
Friday, Washingtonians are deluged
also with real estate. personal and
automobile taxes due this month
and with the new District income
tax, postponed until April Is.
Not only taxpayers, but officials
Of the District as we'll, say they arc
overburdened by this accumula-
ton, which has laid q load Of five
taxes on the finances of the indi-
vidual and on the tax-collection ma
chinery of the Government.
Some relief recently was furnished
when a new law postponed collec-
ton Of the new District income tax
from March Is, to make 1t payable
in two parts, April Is and October
IS. But the local income tax, with
its rate of l to per cent, is SO
closely allied with the Federal tax,
based on the same income, that
the great majority of Washington
ans, ofncials sly. apparently are
making out their two income tax re-
turns at the same time. Most Of the
mail reaching the ONCE of District
Collector Of Taxes c. M. Towers
comprises income tax returns and
payments, 1t was said.
Sa CLERKS Are Shifted 10
; Pushing up the automobile tax
to this month has laid another heavy
burden on the of1ice Of the collec-
tor. He has had to assign 10 Of
his clerks who usually are on duty
in the ONCE at headquarters tn the
District Building to the business Of
handling the automobile tax at the
Department Of Vehicles and Trafic
at Fourth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. This has crippled his
ONCE in the District Building, which
Is struggling under a mountain Of
mail, including not only the regular
second installments on real estate
and personal tax payments, but also
the new District income tax. Tons
Of mail" has not even been opened,
1t was learned.
At the Department of Vehicles
and Traf1ic yesterday there was a
large crowd Of applicants, some Of
whom were waiting to get titles for
cars, while most Of them were wait
ing to pay taxes and get their 1910
license tags. Cars must have 1910
tags before April l, but old num-
bers will not be reserved unless pay
ment is made before March IS.
Payment of the automobile tax
which includes several items, nee
essitates the separation of the re-
turns in the collectors office into
the weight tax, the 50-cent fee for
inspection, the personal property
tax and, in the case of those who
wish their tags delivered by mail
the 10-cent fee for delivery.
Realty Levy Due.
The real estate tax due this month
comprises the second half Of tho
years levy on real estate at the rate
