Handles Tax
Would Be
Doubled

A typographical error in ths
Times single tax story last night
made 1t appear that the George
Handles shack pays $13.16 taxes.
This should have been $31.15--
a difference in detail rather than
principle.
The fact remains that Handle
keeps the old shack there be-
cause the rents are good and the
taxes low, and other people are
increasing his values by building
up the street while he sits and
takes the benefit. His tar on the
lot alone is $623. Under the sim
gle tax the lot would be taxed at
about twice this. and the $3.50
for the shack would be taken off.

discovering the escape, turned off
the power. Then the body fell
outside the prison wallis.
Escape Well Planned.

was enabled to plan his escape
with more certainty OF success.

thought out. The prisoner had
fashioned a pair OF trousers out

stripes. For weapons he had
manufactured an imitation pistol

After leaving Mrs. Frank Os-
wald practically to starve with her
six little ones until the Times
aroused the public in the case, J..
H. Watkins, county charity COM
missioner, is now using the county
funds for her relief in an attempt
to get him to shield him from fur
ther criticism.
Mrs. Oswald came to the Times
office this morning to tell the
story Watkins had fixed UP for
her.
"I wrote to Mr.. Watkins Friday
but he says he did not get the let
ter until yesterday and so he came
down and gave me an order for $5
worth of groceries," said Mrs. Os-
wald. She said she wanted some
thing put in the paper to fix 1t up
for Mr.. Watkins.
Real Story Come Out.
It finally came out after much
close questioning that Watkins
had taken the order to her yes
terday and demanded that she re-
pudiate the Times story.
"YOu go up to the paper and
have that corrected or you Will
never get anything more," Wat
kins told Mrs. Oswald, she says.
And the mother of six hungry lit
tile mouths declared she wanted
be careful what was said and to
protect Mr.. Watkins. For / have
to depend on him, you know,
said the little woman.
$50 you please fix 1t up for
him; for he said II I didn't get
lit corrected he would go to the
papers and put in big piece him
self and would tell that l left my
husband two years ago and a lot
of things"
And with starvation staring her
and her little ones in the face the
distracted little woman pleaded to
have it fixed up for Mr. Wat
kins."
"Well, did he look after you be-
fore he was exposed by the
Times she was asked.
Family Was Starving.
"Oh, he gave me dollar once
and $1.70 once, but We were starv-
Il ing Saturday. We did not have
thing In the house and had not
had for some time. l was sitting
there crying Saturday night when
a little girl came and knocked at
the door and asked If l was the
woman who needed help. l said
I was and needed it badly.
"She then brought me some
things and we had something to
eat. Mr.. Watkins said he thought
this SIS should last us until the
10th of next month. That is when
my husband will get his pay.
She Wants Work.
"If could only get some work
to take home I could get along but
with the children and a little one
six weeks old l cannot go out TO
work. Can't you put something
in the paper so I can get some
work to do at homer"
And Mrs. Oswald, starvation on
one side, a charity commissioner
demanding protection from criti-
cism on the other, was about
ready to collapse from nervous
break down.
Frank Oswald was once BAR
tender. He and his wife could
not agree and she left. He got
out of the business and wanted to
do better and she went back.
"And he has been doing the
best he could ever SINCE" said the
wife and mother today. 81 think
