RODEO A FINE EVENT

According to those who attended
the rodeo at the fair grounds Sun
day, the show was well worth the
price of admission, and most OF
those who attended enjoyed the
event. The show was thriller
with a bucking horse from the
Frank Tank farm as the outstand-
ing feature. This horse threw its
rider twice to end the show. No
money was made on the event. Cold
weather and rain stopped the rodeo
Saturday night and evidently cut

Departed are the merrymakers
but the egg shells linger on. No
body is more certain that a 53,258
attendance record was hung up at
the White House Easter egg roll
ing yesterday than the As gardeners
who waded into the debris at sunup
this morning.
Armed with bamboo rakes that
pick up the shells and burst balloons
without running the grass are six
White House subgardeners and 40
recruits from the National Park
service.
Also on hand to assist in this
housemaid's nightmare, according
to William L, Reeves, foreman
gardener, are the birds. The birds,
after years of annual egg rollings,
have come to enjoy their yearly egg
yolk binge, Mr.. Reeves said, and
dig right in to help.
The heavy debris was picked up
yesterday by the As workers who
began arriving in detachments at 8
pm and labored after dark to fill
trucks with bushels of trash.
Today the tiny pieces are gathered
up, and substantial wire fences in
stalled TO protect White House
plants are removed.
Except that people going by might
look in and say, the Roosevelts
don't keep their yard very clean. -
Mr.. Reeves wouldn't bother much
with the egg shell particles. The
lime in them is good for the lawn,
he said.

crisis in better shape than Mr..

New Setup 10 Aid
Collection Of Taxes,
Pearson Declares
Reorganization Into Three
Major Sections Will Go
In Effect Tomorrow

Reorganization of the ONCE of the
District collector of taxes, approved
yesterday by the Commissioners. will
make possible more effective collec-
ton, Guy w. Pearson, collector, de-
clared today. He predicted greater
use of the distraint process of fore
ing payment of delinquent bills than
was the case in past years.
The collectors Office will be divided
into three major sections, beginning
tomorrow, when George H. Kidwell
takes Office as deputy collector of
taxes. Mr.. Kidwell. a veteran of
more than 10 years service in the
Office of the District auditor, has
been chief field examiner of that
Office. In his new position he will
be in charge of general clerical work
in the collectors Office as we'll as
acting as right-hand man to Mr.
Pearson.
Lyddane Heads Unit. )
Stephen B. Lyddane. who has been
serving as assistant collector, will be
placed in charge of brand-new
division, on delinquent collections
For many years the District has
made but little use of the distraint
procedure, under which the District
through the collector, may take over
stock in trade. trucks or other prop
erty of a person who mas failed to
pay taxes. Mr.. Pearson said much
more frequent use would be made
hereafter of this procedure in effort
to force payment of old bills.
TIL third division, consisting of
cashiers, will be headed by Charles
M. Sabins, head cashier.
Funds for Extra Workers Sought.
Mr.. Pearson now has more than
a dozen extra clerks serving for
about two months, whose employ
ment was made possible by use of
funds accruing through lapses in
personnel. The Commissioners are
asking Congress to approve an extra
appropriation of $4,000 for the next
fiscal year to permit the hire OF
extra workers at peak periods.
Meanwhile, hundreds of last
minute taxpayers were passing
through the Offices of the. District
assessor and collector today to beat
the deadline at midnight tonight on
payment of the District income tax.
Assessor Edward A. Dent and Col
lector Pearson have agreed to keep
their offices open until midnight to
take care of late callers. For failing
to file on time there is a penalty of
Is per cent on the amount returned
and for failure to pay the. bill on
time a penalty of l per cent per

to the White House in 1905. Grass
dried out by warm weather escaped
bruising and preponderance of
adults protected it from wholesale
uprooting, he said.
Another effect of the great num-
Der Of adults in yesterdays crowd
was to lessen the total of lost chill
dren and increase the heat exhaus-
tion cases, according to Red Cross
workers. Only 70 children were tenn
porarily separated from their par
ents. Ten of the % casualties were
faiting cases, whereas crowds of
mostly children specialize in skinned
knees, it was pointed out.
Besides yesterdays well-behaved
visitors, the White House police
got pat on the back today from
their chief, Capt. Herbert l.. Marcy.
Commenting on the patient courtesy
with which the last begrimed
urchin was escorted from the
grounds at S o'clock last night.
Capt. Marcy said: The boys

Also well pleased with yester-
days results, but not available for
comment, were the dozens of youth
full racketeers who earned a goodly
sum selling themselves TO adults
not accompanied by children un-
der 10.
Yesterdays attendance, which
broke the 1887 record of $3.50, kept
White House police in suspense up to
the last minute. The figures hovered
around $4,000 till hordes of Gov
ernment workers came in to hear
the final selections of the United
