Scott Inquest Delayed
By Witness Injury,
! Macdonald Declares

An inquest in the death of Charles
w. Scott has been delayed indefl-
nitely because of injuries suffered
by one of the prospective witnesses
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
said today.
Scott, "a, colored, died in the Dis
trict Jail infirmary SO hours after
his arrest November 2. He was
driving a stolen car to which Detec-
tive Harry E. Hamilton and Detec-
tive Sergt. Clyde o. Rouse were
clinging when it struck a truck,
killing Mr.. Hamilton.
DR.. Macdonald said it was the
inability of Sergt. Rouse to leave his
bed that has delayed the inquest.
1t was not made clear what con-
nection Sergt. Rouse has with the
events which led to SCOTS death.
Sergt. Rouse never saw. Scott after
the crash. Scott, apparently in
jured only slightly in the crash, died
Of shock following an intitetamus
injection administered at the jail, a
postmortem revealed.
Sergt. Rouse, who suffered a COM
pound leg fracture, may be bedrid-
den for an indefinite period, accord
ing to Inspector Robert j. Barrett,
chief of detectives. First treated at
Casualty Hospital, Sergt. Rouse
later was transferred to Providence
and eventually sent home. There,
Inspector Barrett said, an infection
set in and the detective was sent>to
Emergency Hospital for further
treatment. - j
The injured detective now is con-
fined to his bed at home and there
appears to be no prospect of COM
plete recovery soon, Inspector Bar
rett declared.

2,930 Properties Put
On Sale for Taxes,
Setting Low Mark

About 80 persons were on hand
today as a record low of 1880 m-
paid real estate tax accounts went
on sale in the Office of Tax Col
lector Guy Pearson.
The 4,70O accounts which went
on sale at this time last year were
the lowest number before today, Mr.
Pearson said.
The tax collector estimated also
that only about half the number
placed on sale would be bought by
private individuals. The remainder
he explained, are considered dead
property or poor risks and will re-
main in the hands of the city gov
ernment.
The bidders buy the unpaid ac-
counts for the amount of delinquent
tax, plus interest in penalties to
date. They are then entitled to
the penalty of one per cent month
for delinquency which ordinarily
would go to the city.
At the end of the first hour Mr.
Pearson estimated 400 accounts had
been bought by the group which
he said included about a dozen reg
ulars who attend the sales annually
Once the unpaid account has been
bought, the property owner has two
years within which to redeem his
property from the District. If he
fails to do so within the allotted
time, the holder of the unpaid ac-
count may apply for deed to the
property. Henceforth the property
owner must deal directly with the
holder to redeem the property.
Mr.. Pearson estimated the buyers
averaged 10 per cent on their in
vestment over the twoayear period
The sale was conducted by Samue
J. Kidd and Elmon Morris of tn
Tax Collectors Office.

Fourth Neighborhood Concert
Draws ! 500 to Mckinley High

The National Symphony Orches-
ira paid a visit to the neighbor-
hood of Second and T streets NE.
last night and the neighbors-some
1,5o0 of them gathered in the audi
torium of Mckinley High School
loved it.
Last nights Neighborhood Con-
cert was the fourth of series
sponsored by The Evening Star.
It drew bobby soxers and gray,
|dignified matrons; spindly- legged
youths and somewhat corpulent old
sters. Their interests were OBJ
viously divergent in many things,
but united in this-an appreciation
of good music.
Some Wait for Hour.
Members of the High School Cadet
Corps-15 of them-ushered the
audience in, then found seats for
themselves. Some people, fearful
they would not find seats, filed into
the auditorium at 7:45 pm, an
hour and Is minutes before the
scheduled start of the concert.
They were well rewarded for their
wait when the melodious notes OF
the overture and procession from
Mozart,S Marriage of Figaro" rose
from under the baton of DR.. Hans
Kinder.
In music appreciation, the audi
ence ranged from Frank G. Daniel,
principal of Mckinley, whose father,
Joseph H. Daniel, was the first
musical instructor in Washington
public schools, to little miss, about
3 years old, named Geraldine.
Principal Daniel, at work in his
office, caught the concert over the
public address system there. He
thought it was excellent and COM
mented on the beauty of music and
how an appreciation for 1t could be
acquired if one only took the
trouble.
Geraldine Likes the Bee.
Geraldine, whose mother and
father did not want their names in
the paper, liked the noise of the
humble bee-a reference to the or
chestra,s rendition of Rimsky-Kor-
sakov's Flight of the Bundle Bee" :"
"It buzzed," she said.
High light of the musical hour
was the playing of Beethoven's
symphony No. in c Minor" Ap-
plause of the audience was pro-
longed and loud at the conclusion
of the piece, the first four notes OF
which-three short and one long
spell in Morse code the v for Vic

World War II.

Commissioners Void
wartime Hours Rule
For Liquor Stores

Dropping Of wartime regulations
governing District liquor stores was
approved today by the Commission
ers opening the way for longer
working hours for dealers.
A check of dealers in varioua sec
tions of the city indicated, however
that many stores will continue te
operate from 10 am. to pm. in
stead of following the prewar Gus
tom of opening at am. and closing
at midnight.
Many dealers said they have be-
come accustomed to the shorter
wartime hours and find them ade-
quate for their business.
One dealer who has been in the
business for many years predicted
that some of the smaller liquor
stores may increase their working
hours in an attempt to recoup a
drop in sales since the end of the
war.
ice-Cutting Charged.
He said business had fallen from
the wartime peak and that some
dealers, in an attempt to maintain
their volume, are resorting to price
cutting. .....
During the war, Saturday hours
were from 10 am. to midnight.
Under Alcoholics Beverage Control
regulations the proposed g changes
must be advertised officially by the
District and become effective five
days thereafter.
Other requirements to be elimi-
mated are:
ID That wholesalers and solicit
ors not exceed OPA prices.
(2) That retailers supply the Al
coholic Beverage Control Board a
duplicate of the sales slip on each
sale of more than IL bottles.
90 That one twenty-fifth of
whisky stock of retailers be on dis
play.
In the restoong Of prewar open
ing and closing hours, the Com
missioners overruled the ACB Board,
which asked continuance of the
wartime schedule.
Advertising Proposal.
The city heads also turned down
an ABC Board proposal to prohibit
Joint advertising by any two OF
more retail licensees or joint use OF
any trade name, slogan or emblem
by any two or more licensees
Cooperative groceries would have
been excepted from the latter recon-
mendation. d.
Inclosing sample of joint ad-
vertising in a local newspaper, the
ABC Board pointed out that the
local law prohibits any person, part
nership or corporation from holding
any more than one retail outlet. The
members said such joint advertising
or use of similar names tended to
be confusing to the public and
suggested the existence OF chain
management.
