MARKER IS UNDER
ARREST At Upton
Former Assistant Cashier Charged
With Taking Bank Funds Ap-
pears at His Home.

Upton, Ind, July 31.-Noah Mar
ker, assistant cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, was arrested here yester-
day afternoon by a deputy United
States marshal, accompanied by sew
eral secret agents of the treasury de-
partment on the charge Of having
"fraudulently taken a sum of money
from the funds of the bank"
Marker. who has been missing
since Saturday. appeared at his home
here early yesterday He said he had
been III st. Louis. On advice Of his
attorneys, he would not discuss the
charges against him. He was taken
to Muncie later in the day for a hear
ing before a United States commits
sioner.
AS soon as it was learned that Mar
ker had returned, crowd gathered
about his house. Many of his friends
and acquaintances shook hands with
him and assured him of their sym
pathy and support. So far as could
be learned, Marker did not offer a
solution of the mystery of the disap-
pearance of 100000 in cash, which
was in the vault of the bank few
hours before his disappearance and
which he has been charged with hav-
ing taken with him.
His brother, William H. Marker,
former cashier of the bank, who first
reported the disappearance of Noah
Marker and the banks cash, said this
afternoon that he had no idea where
the money was or whether or not 1t
had been hidden in Upton.
The examination OF the books of
the bank by Miller Weir of the treas
ury department has SO far shown
shortage of s105,O0O, which. he says,
has been abstracted from the banks
funds in varying amounts through a
period of several months.

NEW AMENDMENT
Copy Received Of Proposed Amend
ment to the Federal constitu-
tion Providing for Tax.

Guthrie, Okla, July Ex-Governor
Haskell is in receipt of communica-
ton from p. c. Knox, secretary Of
state, Washington, d, c., in which he
sends a certified copy of Article XVI
to the Constitution of the United
States, and which will become effec-
tive as soon as ratified by three
fourths of the states legislatures It
is generally known as the income tax
amendment and this state is already
on record as favoring it, the legisla-
ture having already passed a similar
resolution.
Some years ago congress enacted
law which provided for taxes on
incomes but which was knocked out
by the supreme court on account of
being unconstitutional. The article
as proposed is as follows:
Article XVI. The congress- shall.
have power to lay and collect taxes
on incomes from whatever source de-
rived, without apportionment among
several states, and without regard to
any census or enumeration"
Governor Haskell acknowledges re-
ceipt of the article in question in the
following letter.
