Illegal Killing Of Chickens
For Sale in D. {. CHARGED
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROANOKE, Va, July 3.-Charges
of illegal slaughter and sale in
Washington of chickens ordered
frozen" under a War Food order
were filed in United States District
Court here yesterday against Leon
ard C. Ellis of Frederick County.
The charges were contained in a
f1ve-count information filed by
Frank S. Travenner, jr., United
States district attorney, based on
testimony given by Oscar w. Cordle,
special agent of the War Food Ad-
ministration. A capias was issued
for Ellis and bond set at $4,000.
The information charged that
Ellis had permission to buy and
slaughter so chickens each week for
sale in civilian channels. Mr.
Cordle testified he watched opera
tions at a farm where Ellis slaugh-
tered the fowls and on one night
saw approximately % barrels, each
containing so chickens, packed and
shipped by truck to Washington
Mr.. Cordle said he marked the bar
rels. followed the truck to Wash
ington and bought two of the
chickens. They were sold within
ceiling prices, he said.
War Food order 119, which Ellis
is charged with violating, requires
that the chickens in freeze" areas
must first be offered to the Army.

81 Refund 10 Be Made
To Dog Owners Who
Paid s. License Fee

Order appeared restored today to
the Collector of Taxes Office, which
was in an uproar most Of yesterday
over whether dog tags should be
sold for 50 or SO.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for refunding 81 to those
who have paid SO perior to the
signing of the rabies control bill by
the President.
The trouble started early yester-
day when Tax Collector Guy w
Pearson decided to charge S3-the
price Of the dog tag in the control
measure-instead of the usual 81
because, according to his best in
formation" the bill had been signed.
The bill, however, had not been
signed and Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech ruled the Dis
trict could only legally collect So.
He also held that persons paying
the 50 would be entitled to have
their dogs vaccinated free If the
Commissioners order compulsory
vaccination under the powers Of the
bill.
Those entitled to refund
should write the collectors Office at
the District Building for a voucher,
which will be sent to the auditors
office.
About 1870 pm. yesterday Mr..
Pearson estimated that 1000 tags
had been sold for So, but later in
the day the figure was shaved down
1t was decided that 1900 persons
had paid over the counter for tags
and an additional 500 had paid So
by mail. About 200 tags were sold
for 50 after the Commissioners or
dered the price reduced.
Mr.. Pearson said If the bill had
been signed yesterday the SO pay
ment would be correct for fees paid
that day.
