BLOW DUE
IN. INCOME
TAX UNIT
Three-Score Officials on List.
E. H. Batson and Mapes
Included.
The end of the scrapping of un
sympathetic bureau organizations
by the White House is not yet.
Three score officials of high and
low degree in the income tax sec
tion of the Treasury Department
were getting ready today to look
for new jobs.
President Harding has called for
a list of the deputy commissioners
and division heads in the Income
Tax Bureau and others with a
view to removing those who do not
qualify as "Harding Republicans."
E. H. Batson on List.
E. H. Batson, deputy commis
stoner of internal revenue, in charge
of the income tax unit, will be one
of the first to go. He will be suc
ceeded by E. W. Chatterton. assist.
tent in that unit, it was stated to
day by those in close touch with the
movement of the Harding resurfac
ing machine.
Chatterton was formerly a clerk
in the Postoffice Department, but
was taken to the Income Tax Bu
reau when Dan E. Roper was pro
moted from First Assistant Post
master General to Commissioner of
Internal Revenue.
On the same list of those slated
for discharge is Carl A. Mapes.
solicitor of the Bureau of Internal
levenue. Mapes was appointed by
President Harding a few days after
the inauguration. It was a hurry
up appointment, it is said, that has
never met. with general approval
by party leaders.
It was learned today that Presi
dent Harding has already tentative
ly agreed on a prominent Ohio Re
publican to succeed Mapes.
The income tax unit has given the
White House great concern, it is
said, because so many division heads
and subordinates there have failed
to give the Harding Administration
the "party support" that wat ex
pected. In fact some of them are
said to be so lukewarm in support of
the President's policies as to be
classed as "friends of the Demo
cratic Party."
White House Has Names.
Some time ago steps were taken
:o reorganize the Income Tax Unit
nd the names of several officers
Who could not be regarded as
*Harding Republicans" were sent
to the White House.
A high official of the Treasury
Department. in close touch with
he Administration, declared today
that Internal Revenue Commissioner
Blair would not be dropped. It
was futther stated that the Admin
htration felt that with sympathetic
Ifficials in charge he task of clean
ng up back work would be speeded
.p in a way that would reflect
treat credit on the Administration
and make good the pre-election
promises of the party of a business
policy.
Nine heads in the Income Tax Unit
are being carefully checked up and
dismissal or transfer faces each. In
some cases, it is said, their present
assistants will succeed them. In
three or more divisions, there will
be a clean sweep, both the division
head and his assistant being slated
for removal.
Those Now on List.
The nine division heads are: B. E.
Hunsinger, staff division; C. B. Al
len, administrative division; B. S.
Kimbrell. personal audit division; F.
R. Clute, corporation audit division;
C. M. Justice, field division; S. Alex
ander. special audit division: A. .
Ii'ay, natural resources division; W.
R. Campbell. review division; and
Edward White, statistical division.
The assistants who are being con
sidered for either dismissal or promo
tion are F. M. Woodward, administra
tion division: Oliver Kinsel, corpora
tion audit division; J. L. MctIreyr,
field division: P. F. Cain, special
kudit division; H. L. Sincoe, natural
-esources division; F. A. Urice, re
view division, and J. T. Jamison, sta
tistical division.
The nine division heads consti
lute what is known as the "execu
tive committee," with Deputy Bat
aon a. chairman. It was pointed
sut today that should the deputy
and a majority of the members of
the executive committee be out of
harmony with the policies of the
Administration their rulings would
completely demoralize tige work of
Sthe unit.
Under the direct supervision of the
nine division chiefs are two subordi
nates, whot In turn, direct a staff. A
dozen of these subchiefs, it is said.
are slated for removal.
"There is no cause for alarm," sairl
a leading Harding Republican today.
"To get the best results and to give
the country a thoroughgoing business
Administration, it is necessary to
have officials all along the line who
will work in harmony and keep an
eye on the wishies of the Chief Execu
tive."

tr. T. F. Murphy, chairman of
the Boy Scout bureau of the Wash
ington District Council of Catholic
Men, st a meeting last night, an
nounced it would be the aim of the
organization to establish a Boy
Scout troop in e'very parish.
SThere will be a meeting tonight

ATTACK CHARGE
FILED AGINST
FT, MYER YINK
Cavalryman Lodged in Jail
After Rescue From Mob
in Georgetown.
Threatened with lynching by an
enraged crowd of more than 100
Georgetown persons, Alfred Law
rence, thirty-seven years old, a
member of the Third cavalry,
stationed at Fort Myer, Va.,
was rescued by Patrolman Alvin
S. Bohrer, of the Seventh pre
cinct, after he had beetdragged
from a stable, where he had lured
a seven-year-old girl whom he is
alleged to have attempted to as
sault late yesterday afternoon.
Child Badly Shocked.
The girl, Rita Ryon, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar B. Ryon, 2618
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. was
taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where she was treated by Dr.
Daniel L. Borden, pollee surgeon.
and later removed to her home. She
is in a serious condition, suffering
from shock.
According to the police. Law
rence, who was rushed to a cell at
the Seventh precinct police station,
met little Rita while she was play
ing with several other children of
the neighborhood at Twenty-sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Promising the girl canly if she
would take a wilk with him, Law
rence is alleged to have taken her
to a nearby store, bought the qweets,
and then walked with her to a stable
of the (Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company in Rock Creek Park, south
of K street and near Water street,
within ten feet of the canal.
Soon after the girl had disappear
ed. her parents and neighbors start
ed a search for her. The Seven h
precinct police also were notified.
Pn trolmcan liohrer nit two boys wbo
had passed the stable, recently
abandoned.
"I think I heard the eries of a
girl in the statble," one of th"" hs
told 'oliceanun IHoher. As the lads
were talking to the policeman and
Mr. Ryon, the crowd increased and
rushed to the stable. The door was
locked, but in a few minutes it was
torn from its hinges. The mob
came face to face with Lawrence
and little Rita, who was we -ping
hysterically.
Felled by Blow.
Seizing the child in his arms. Mr.
Ryon embraced her. Realizing what
prohably had happened, he handed
the girl over to a woman neighbor
and rushed for Lawrence. striking
the trooper a blow which caused
him to fall.
"Lynch him'" shouted members of
the crowd. Someone had telephoned
to the Seventh precinct, and reserves
were rushed to the. scene. But
Patrolman Hiohrer had taken the
situation well in hand and asked
the mob to let the law take its
course and give him an opporttmity
to take Lawrence to the police sta
tion.
By this time the patrol arrived
and Lawrence was thrown into it
and rushed to the station.
Lawrence maintains that he did
not attempt to attack the girl, say
ing that she told him she wanted
to gee the canal and he, being off
duty, was glad to take her there.
The technical charge on which the
soldier is being held is criminal as
sault, which, in the District of Co
lumbia, is a capital offense if the
accused is convicted.

CLEN-UP WEEK
GETS OFF WITH
SPIRITED START
Extra Trash Wagons Put in
Service to Aid Busy
Housewives.
The greatest caravan of ash carts
and trash wlone ever in service in
the District at one time was moving
through the streets today loaded
with refuse, much of which has ac
cumulated in various homes during
the winter.
Clean-up and paint-up week, which
began today, got under way with a
good start. All agencies of the Dis
trict government were asked by
Commissioner James F. Oyster to aid
wherever possible.
Police captains and the men in
their respective commands are co
operating with householders in their
precincts and the refuse department
under the direction of Morris Hack
er is furnishing wagons for the
hauling.
Mr. Hacker today detailed an
extra wagon to follow each of the
trash wagons. The extra wagon will
pick up old furniture and derhis of
all kinds which is of no further use
and can be sent to the dump.
George S. Watson. chief of the fire
department, is urging that house
holders throw out all rubbish that,
if permitted to remain in their homes,
may be the cause of disastrous fires.
The motion picture theaters are
cooperating in the clean-up campaign
by flashing slides on their screens
calling on the public to join in the
spirit of the week.
VIRINIA SEEKS
EXTRAITION OF
'REDS' JACKSON
Witnesses Assert Suspect Was
in Fairfax on Day of
Hawken Attack.
The net of circumstantial evidence
which has been woven around Rich
ard "Reds" Jackson, thirty-year-old
negro, in connection with the as
sault recently on Miss Agnes M.
llawken, in Jackson, Va., tightened
today when Wilson M. Farr, as
sistant Commonwealth attorney of
Fairfax county, announced he had
witnesses to prove that Jackson was
in the county on the day of the
crime.
Attorney Farr declared he believed
Jackson's story that he was in Btal
timore on March 23-the night of
the attack-was a "frame-up.' and
said his witnesses were willing "
swear they saw Jackson at noon
and later on that date.
Jackson's declaration that he was
in Baltimore, however, is being run
down. The negro declared that from
March 22 to 28 he was at the home
of Mary Johnson, colored, of 613
Jasper street. Baltimore.
In the meantime, Attorney Farr
began extradition proceedings to
take Jackson to Fairfax county jail.
The removal of Jackson is being
sought to take the negro to Virginia
to answer a charge of housebreak
ing,. Virginia authotities declaring
he entered a bungalow near Miss
Hawken's home.
Jackson, since taken into custody.
has made several conflicting state
ments. He denies the charge that
he stole a pair of shoes from a
hunglaw near Miss Hawken's home.
The shoes we found in Washing
ton at the ome of Jackson's
brother, James Jackson. 1623 0
street northwest.
Miss Hawken faced the negro
Saturday in the office of Inspector
Clifford L. Grant. chief of detec
tivese. She was unable to identify
him, saying that she did not believe
her assailant was as tall as Jack
son. She stated that his features
somewhat resembled the man who
attacked her.
Miss Hawken declared her assail
ant was wearing black shoes. Jack
son last Satwday wore brown and
white sport shoes. Questioned, he
declared he threw away another
pair of shoes in Virginia and bought
the sport shoes. Investigation later
disclosed that the shoes claimed to
have been thrown away were in the
home of Jackson's brother.
Detective Murphy, of the central
office in Baltimore, today is investi
gating Jackson's story. The negro
declares he went to Baltimore at the
suggestion of George Wimby, 432
New street, Baltimore, searching for
work.

RTMENT
BiLLOU PLEADS
FOR BETTER PAY
IN DI. GSCHOOLS
Tells Senate District Commit
tee System of Rewarding
Teachers Needs Revision.
A plea for higher salaries for Dis
trict school teachers is being made
by Superintendent of Schools Ballou
in the Senate District Committee
this afternoon.
A comprehensive plan of new sal
ary lgislation was urged by Mr. Bal
lou. Among the major features of
his presentation were the following:
The salaries of the employes of
the Board of Education should be
legalized. The present salaries are
subject to point of order, since they
are not established by law and are
carried entirely in appropriation
bills.
There is no legal authorization for
a salary schedule for teachers in the
junior high schools.
Aministrative principals in ele
mentary schools have been created,
but there is no salary schedule for
such principals.
The community center department
is recognized by law, but no salary
schedule has been legally established
for these employes.
Session room pay, as a means of
paying for the services of principals
of elementary schools should be
abolished.
The system is difficult to admin
