Husband fatally stabs wife in kitchen quarrel in D.C.
In a southeast Washington home, butcher Harry Blaine stabbed his wife Ida Blaine to death after a years long troubled marriage. Blaine was mortally wounded when he was stabbed by Ida, who allegedly struck first during a kitchen confrontation. Two young boys witnessed the struggle and fled for help as neighbors found the dead wife and Blaine on the floor. Blaine died later at Casualty Hospital after surgery. Police say he had not lived with the family since Christmas and had prior convictions for housebreaking.

Six Billion Tax Debate Looms In House Action
The house debates a six billion tax plan set to take effect July 1 with prohibition. Projections show calendar year and fiscal year revenues near six billion with varying estimates from committees and Treasury experts. New rates keep existing relief provisions, adjust corporate and individual taxes, and set estate and inheritance levies with lowered maxima. A provision keeps the prohibition amendment in the District, creating a bone dry capital. Tax filing deadlines remain March 15 with 25 percent first payments due March 16 and provisions for estimated or supplementary filings. London talks yield a shoe and boot competition accord between British and American firms.
