drunk charge against Dennis
Chavez, jr., 38-year-old son of
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of
New Mexico, opened in Airing
ton County Court this morning as

waited on Lee boulevard to make
a left turn into North Columbus
street. Mr.. Winslow identified
Mr.. Chavez as the driver of the
other car.
Also on the stand were County
Policemen Creighton Marshall
and Truman Adams.
Mr.. Adams said some details
of the accident investigation are
mot clear" now because this
case has been continued too many
times" The trial has been con-
tinued three times.
Mr.. Adams testified that Mr..
Chavez speech was impaired and
that "he couldn't give me a CO.
herent description of the accident
except he said he didn't see the
other car -..
Mr.. Marshall told the court he
saw Mr.. Chavez at the scene and
that che appeared to me to be
drunk"
After the accident, Mrs. Imelda
E. Chavez, So, the Senator's wife
was charged with being drunk in
public. She was a passenger in
the car driven by her son. She
had forfeited collateral and costs

SOS reopened the charge against
Mrs. Chavez and dropped the
case. Mr.. Varoutscs said he had
been told that Mrs. Chavez does

Alexandra Ends
Cigarette Tax,
Cuts Realty Rate
Council Votes Record
$4,831,322 Budget
After SIushes

A 1851 budget that allows a 15-
cent reduction in the real estate
tax rate and elimination of the
city's cigarette tax was adopted
by the Alexandria City Council
last night.
The new budget, which takes
effect the first of the year. calls
for expenditures of $4,831 ,322-a
new high for the city.
The budget is about S15O,0O0
below the original amount pro-
posed by City Manager w. Guy
Ancell, but some proposed expen-
ditures were cut after Mr.. Ancel1
and councilmen needed merchants
pleas for repeal of the cigarette
tax.
The 1851 real estate tax rate
is $3.50 per 500 of assessed
valuation. The council also ap-
proved lower professional license
fees. reducing last years rate Of
81 .03 to so cents on each S100 Of
gross receipts.
A spokesman for the Alexandria
League of Women Voters asked
the council to retain the present
real estate tax rate of S2.75.
Councilmen were asked how they
could justify a real estate tax
reduction when it would be neces-
sary to borrow about 100000 for
an incinerator.
Mr.. Ancell replied that origin
ally it was proposed to borrow the
entire $500.000 necessary for the
incinerator, but council had de-
cided to provide part of the cost
from current revenues. About
$125,000 will be supplied from
current revenues in 1851, and
about 100000 will be borrowed,
he said. The rest will be financed
in 1852. he added.
Mr.. Ancell said he favored the
tax reduction because most real
estate tax bills went up last year
after a reassessment.
The 1851 budget is about $780,
600 above that of the current
year.

and William H. Blackburne, first
head keeper.
The Zoos first lion came from
West Virginia blacksmith's wife
whose pet cat" outgrew her quar-
ters. The woman had obtained
the animal from a circus that ran
out of cages. Two years later, in
1898. the Zoo got its first tiger, a
14-year-old with mango which was
donated to the Government by
circus. With sweet oil and sulphur
treatments. Mr.. Blackburne kept
the beast living until it died at
the old tiger age of 80.
The Zoos first bird, a cockatoo
from the Smithsonian collection,
had to wait 38 years for a bird
house. At first, all animals that
needed artificial heat were kept in
one building.
Received Leopard in 1894.
A consul in the Congo sent the
Zoo its first leopard in 1894. 1t
had a deformed tail. The tail
curled against the leopard's right
hind leg in a hoop and could not
be Strengthened. Often the leopard
got his hind leg tangled in the
curve.
Another donation from an ami
NAL show gave the Zoo its first
elephants, Dunk and Gold Dust.
Mr. Blackburne herded them
through Washington streets to-
their new home, where they were
chained to a tree. Their 80 GAL
Ions of water consumption had to
be hauled from Rock Creek in
barrels because the Zoo had no
running water then.
Dunk's trunk became paralyzed
in 1917 and he had to sleep stand
ing up. One night he lost his
balance and fell, breaking his
shoulder because his trunk could
not prevent the fall. The bone
went through his hide and he died.

District Court
Tightens Control
On Bondsmen
New Rules in Effect
July ! to Require
Records on Premiums
By John w. Stepp

The operations OF District
bondsmen will be held under
tighter District Court rein begin
ming next July l.
Judges of the court sitting in
criminal division yesterday an
nounced a sweeping new set OF
rules looking toward that end.
Among the chief provisions is a
requirement that bondsmen keep
records, at all times available to
judges, showing who puts up the
bond premiums for their custom
ers
This rule has been widely eX-
pected since a House District sub
committee investigating crime last
January encountered certai n
bondsmen who were vague in
identifying angels" who had paid
bond premiums for accused gam
blerS.
A considerable part Of the new
code, which supersedes rules .ef-
fective since 1888, has been
adopted from Municipal Court
rules passed several years ago.
Precautionary Move.
A high District Court official
said yesterday that the new code
is precautionary, since the bond
ing fraternity has in District Court
closely adhered to the Municipal
Court rules over the years, and
that little difficulty consequently
has been experienced.
These are some of the other new
provisions:
l. Bondsmen's record must be
checked periodically by the Dis
trict Court auditor.
2. On pain of immediate sus-
pension, bondmen may not rep
resent a customer in any capa-
city other than that of their
calling. and may not arrange for
defense lawyers.
3. At similar risk, they may not
'loiter" in the courts or police
stations for the purpose of drum
ming up business.
4. Bondsmen's commitments in
bonds posted may not exceed
three times the assessed value Of
the real estate which all bonds
men list as security for their busi-
ness. In Municipal Court, this
ratio is two-to-one, giving the
bondsmen a total operating mar
gin of ive-to-one.
To Be Fingerprinted.
5. BondsInen must also list only
unencumbered real estate as their
security and must swear under
oath that after they have been
granted. a business application
they will not sell or. .encumber
this real estate without court
permission.
The new rules also require
bondsmen to reveal whether they
have ever been arrested, charged
or convicted of a criminal offense.
Heretofore. they had only to men
ton convictions, if any. Bonds
men must also be fingerprinted.
as in Municipal Court.
The court further ordered that
bondsmen must reiterate their
pledges every two years before
their practice privileges may be
renewed.
And to bar any Telephone
booth Indian" operations, the
court decreed that bondsmen
must have an Office and tele-
phone to be readily accessible to
the il1dpeS
