Trial Of Mrs. Small,
Accused in Dog Tax
Case, Nearing End
Defendant Claims
Others Had Access to
Funds Held Missing

The trial of Mrs. Hattie F. Small,
former employe of the dog tax COL
lection unit of the District collec-
tor Of taxes, indicted on charges of
taking 1892 of those funds. is near
ing its end in District Court. The
prosecution contends the alleged
shortage of funds exceeds $4,000.
Assistant United States Attorney
John L. Laskey, the prosecutor, elic-
tied from Mrs. Small in cross-ex-
animation yesterday that she had
accounts in various high-class stores
here. He contends that these &C.
counts aggregate practically her en-
tire income during 1899 and 1910,
during which the Government says
she embezzled the funds.
Others Had Access to Funds.
On the witness stand Mrs. Small
contended that she was guilty of no
wrongdoing; that numerous persons
other than herself had access to the
receptacles in which dog tax monies
were kept and that during the time
she Is accused of having embezzled
money from the District government
there were four robberies and two
suicides among its employees and
that there were many shortages of
funds. She had no shortages in her
accounts, she maintained, every one
of her accounts being verified every
day and found correct not only by
the cashier and auditor concerned
but by other persons.
Questioned by Mr.. Laskey, Mrs.
Small conceded that cashiers slips
bore her own writing, as did the
receipts for dog taxes she issued and
that there was discrepancy shown
In the records, the figures for the
amount of money taken In being
higher than those shown by the
cashier as being received.
Discrepancy Claimed.
Mr.. Laskey contends that there is
discrepancy between Mrs. SmalIs
own cashier records and her receipts
for money taken in. Mrs. Small,
declaring that she didn't know a
thing about it, after they left my
hands," testified that after the slips
left her desk and her drawer, she
does not know what happened to
them.
Mrs. Small's age was the subject
of court inquiry during yesterday
afternoons session Official Govern
ment records produced in evidence
showed that she is SO years old, but
Mrs. Small herself testified that she
was born in 1868 and is now 70
years old. Her counsel, Attorneys
Tracy L. Jeffords and Gerald M
johnson, told Justice F. Dickinson
Let's, presiding at the trial, that
the defendant Is 70 years old.

!. Australia:
President Quezon and members
Of the war cabinet of the Philip
pines Commonwealth govern
ment have joined Gen. Mac
Arthur in Australia. Since the
beginning of the war President
Quezon has occupied joint head
quarters with Gen Macarthur
and has carried on the functions
of the government of the COM
monwealth in close cooperation
with the general with the ap-
proval of the American and Aus
tralian governments. These ar
rangements are being continued.
2. Philippine theater:
During the past "a hours
enemy bombers made seven sue
cessive attacks on Corregidor On
March 26, the fortified highland
was bombed almost continuously
from early morning until mid
night. A short lull occurred about
sunset. The raids in the after
noon and at night decreased in
intensity. Most of the bombs fell
in the bay. Those that struck
the island did little damage. Our
anti-aircraft fire is believed TO
have hit several enemy planes.
Early today the aerial attacks on
our fortifications were resumed.
In Bataan there were a num-
Der of sharp clashes between pa
trolls. There were troop and truck
movements behind the enemy
lines, which indicated that in
creased activity may be expected.
One of our patrols successfully
raided a strong enemy position.
Japanese dive bombers attacked
our rear areas, but without sue
cess.

and will Of God shall win out over
all
The need for more personal re-
ligion and more persons with re-
llgion was stressed by the Rev. DR..
Seth R. Brooks, pastor Of Universal
ist National Memorial Church,
speaking yesterday at the Penn
Theater.
The pSalmist made an interest
ing observation which Is psychology
lcally correct: oh taste and see
that the Lord Is good Many per-
sons do not know there is an Eternal
Goodness because they do not taste
and see," DR.. Brooks said.
The man with a personal religion
and spiritual certainty has learned
patient faith against cynicism and
despair. Like Jacob of old wrestling
with the angel, the religious person
can say to handicap, disappointment
or defeat: I will not let thee go
until thous bless mel For the reli-
gious person every experience of life
can bring its blessings in some
FORM"
DIR. Mumper's Theme.
The Rev. DR.. j. Harold Mumper,
pastor of Keller Memorial Lutheran
Church, speaking at services last
night, used as his text, Are You One
of This Mans Diciples?" He said
Those who answer this question fall
into one Of four groups: Those who
answer yes and are hypocrites and
do not belong; those who answer no
and really do not want to be Chris
tlans; those who answer no and
should be saying yes because they
are Christians but are timid, and
those who answer yes and are
Christians, truthfully and humbly.' y
The Rev. DR.. Horace E. Cromer,
superintendent Of the East Wash
ington district of the Methodist
Church, speaking at evening services
at Foundry Methodist Church yes
terday, said: The sharpest criticism
OF the church is that it wears the
name of Christ, but contradicts His
life. 1t claims a peace that passes
all understanding and yet it is in
chaos. 1t claims a Christ that says.
Let not your heart be troubled and
yet there is no peace.
There is entirely too much mix
ing in us Of the conflicting forces
OF life. We must find a new COM
pleteness in and a new closeness to
God"

Forde announced today that all
of the Australian Imperial Force
which the government intended
to bring back for defense OF this
continent already has returned,
and that Gen. Sir Thomas
Blamey has been appointed
commander in chief of all Allied
land forces in Australia under
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Gen. Blamey has arrived from the
Near East. where he was in charge
of Australian forces.
Maj. Gen. Sir Leslie James Mors-
head, who was knighted for his bril-
liant defense of Tobruk, succeeded
Gen. Blamey in the Near East.
Appointment Hailed.
Gen. Blamey, who said Austria
lians must be prepared to expect in
vasion and to do everything to pre-
vent it, will meet Gen. Macarthur
at the first possible moment
He hailed Gen. MacArthurs ap-
pointment as Allied supreme COM
mander as the only workable ar
rangement.
Il am very delighted that the
whole Anzac (AuStralian-New Zea-
land command has been given to
one man. he said, thus giving
united direction to the whole STRAIT
egy of the situation"
Mr.. Forde appraised Gen Mac
Arthur's analysis of this dominions
plight as a keen insight into the
fundamentals of defense and pledged
Australia's wholehearted response
to his leadership.
Macarthur Speech Praised.
In statement rejecting the pro-
foundly favorable impression Gen.
Macarthur has made on the whole
commonwealth, Mr.. Forde said the
speech by the supreme commander
last night would remain forever as
