MORE REGULATIONS
FOR INCOME TAX
Treasury Department Explains Exemp'
ton for Payments by Wife
and Husband.

Washington, Dec. 3l.-Further regula-
lions for payment of the income tax is
sued yesterday provide that husband and
wife living together shall be entitled to
an exemption of $4,000 from the aggre-
gate net income of both, but when sep
arated and living apart permanently,
each shall be entitled to a $4,000 ex-
emption,
Where husband and wife living to-
gether have separate estates, their in
come may be made on one return but
the amount of the income of each, with
the full names and addresses must be
shown.
The husband the regulation says,
should make the return as the head and
legal representative of the .sehold.
Where wife has an estate managed
by herself from which she receives an
income more than $1,000 she may make
her own return, and if the husband, in
such eases, has an income which brings
the total above $4,000 the wife's return
should be attached to that of her hus-
band or vice versa.
Where either husband or wife has an
income of $4,000 or more return is re-
quired under the law, no matter wheth-
err the combined incomes of both be less
than $4,000. When the joint income ex-
eeeds $4,000 husband and wife are joint

BRATTLEBoRo,s MANAGER.
E. L. Breckenridge Again to Direct the
Baseball Team.

Brattleboro, Dec. BE. L. Brecken
ridge, Brattleboro's baseball manager foi
1911 and 1918, has been engaged TO pi.
lot the local team through the Twin
State league season of 1914 This ac.
tion was taken by the directors OF the
Brattleboro Baseball association at q
meeting held Monday night. For some
time past it has been known that a
majority of the directors were strongly
in favor of hiring "Breck" again, and
their final decision in the matter will
not come as surprise. His engage
ment frees the directors from all I'M
easiness about the outcome Of next sea
son financially, and the fact that prae-
tically all of the players who finished
last season with him have expressed
wish to play under him again gives
him good nucleus on which TO build
a 1914 pennant winner.
Under "Breck's" management Brattle-
boro's 1911 team not only won the Twin
State league pennaht, but was put
through the season at an expense that
made it necessary to use less than $50
from the associations guargatee fund.
After the disastrous season in 1912
"Breck" was put at the helm again last
spring. Starting under the impression
that the league salary limit was a thing
to be respected, he soon learned that
honesty could not be made winning
policy. Toward the end of the season,
however, "Breck" got together team
that made all of its competitors trav-
ell, one of its accomplishments being to
take six straight games from the club
that eventually won the pennant. Finan-
cially last season came out better
than was generally expected, it being
necessary to take from the guarantee
fund less than $3.50. This left a bal
ance large enough to wipe out the 1919
debt and carry forward between 5000
and 81 900 for next year.
Among the players who have written
''Breck" that they would like to play
under him next season are BeTan, Solo
mon, Dixie, Light and Proux of last
years team. Berran and Solomon, of
course, have signed with teams in organ
lied ball, but their feeling toward the
management means no doubt
that they could be induced to come here
IN case they did not make good in their
new berths. "Breck's" plans for 1914
have not taken definite shape, but he
has already made up his mind to get to-
yether a team that viii be in the pen
lant race from the first inning of the
first game in the schedule.

Edward Reed, Jr., Confesses
to Peru Murder of
Nov. "a
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
JOHN WAITE
Mistaking Him for a Bird,
When Hunting in
the Woods

Peru, Dec. 3l.-Edward Reed, lr, tht
I4-year-old son of local farmer, con
fessed to local authorities yesterday that
it was through the accidental discharge
of his rife that John Wait, farmer
was killed in his woodlot near here or
Nov "a.
Waits body was found with a bullet
hole through the head.
Reed admitted firing the shot at what
he thought was bird, but which pene,
trated Waits head under the left ear
and came out through his right temple,
causing death in few minutes. After
the shooting the boy went directly
away from the scene and for fear OF
being arrested denied everything until
| Yesterday. The case has attracted much
attention in the southern part OF the
state.
Reed probably will be given hear
| ing soon and it is understood States
Attorney Meagher has warrant for his
arrest.
Detectives, when first put on the case,
experienced much difficulty for the rea-
son that everyone was reticent and no
one would admit being in the woods on
the day Wait was killed
II was first learned of hunting party
that stopped at the house of Charles
Reed, three miles north of Peru, and
about a half -mile from the place where
Waits body was discovered. Then sus-
picion was directed towards several per-
soas, but young Reed was rot suspect
ed uati, t was learned he went out
alone on TIE afternoon OF Nov. q about
4 o'clock.
The officers then bore down ON the
boy and finally secured his story. Reed
said he left the house on the afternoon
in question and with his rifle went
through the woods to the north of the
farmhouse and circled around to the
south. When he approached the clear
ing near the Reed sugar house he heard
noise, but thought nothing Of it.
At the edge of the clearing he fred,
he supposed at a bird. With the crack
of the rife he saw two horses leap in
the air and heard the cry of a man.
Realizing he had shot someone he be-
came afraid and left the scene at once.
He then took a course through the
woods and approached the farmhouse
from the opposite direction. As he went
away he could hear the means and cries
of Wait. Some time after his arrival
at the Reed house the boy said he re-
marked someone was injured down near
the sugarhouse.
About that time, Ira Wait. father of
the dead man, went to the house and
said his son had been shot while load
ing wood in the wood lot. When asked
il he was dead he replied that he was.
1t is the opinion of most of the people
in the vicinity OF Peru that the boy is
telling the truth in his statement that
the shooting was accidental, as he had
no reason for animosity toward Wait.

FEAR UPRISING
IN CALUMET
Holiday Gatherings in Churches and
Halls Closely Guarded by Deputy
Sheriffs-Inquest Goes On.

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 3l.-under sur
face mutterings rather than actual de-
velopments marked the copper mine
strike situation yesterday. Fears OF
radical action have caused some extra
ordinary precautions to be taken, but
so far as could be learned there was nc
good foundation for such fear.
As a result of this feeling, however,
the usual holiday gatherings in churches
and halls have been closely guarded by
deputy sheriffs. Children of members of
the citizens alliance who attended en-
tertainments under the leadership of
ministers who have cast their Let with
that organization did 50 with armed Of
fieers stationed at approaches to the
buildings.
The eoroner's inquest into the Christ
mas eve panic developed slowly this
morning One woman swore she heard
two shots fired in the height of the
panic, but her hearing was more acute
than that of others who told only of
the cries of "frel" and the sound of the
rushing of feet, punctuated by overturn-
ing chairs and screams of frightened
women and children.
O. II. Hilton, chief of counsel for the
western federation of miners, again at
tended the inquest, thus making it ap.
pear that the attempt to bring the
Meyer case before the Houghton county
grand jury will not be undertaken i'm
mediately, as had been expected.
The grand jury resumed its sessions
in Houghton, giving no intima ton as
to what subjects it intended to take up
yesterday.

DESPERATE MAKES GOOD ESCAPE.
Man Who Terrorized Village Evades the
Sheriff's Posse in Hills

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 3l.---All trace was
lost yesterday of Henry Rokowski, the
22-year-old desperate who terorized
West Homestead on Sunday, killing Con-
stable Martin Windt and shooting and
beating several other persons. While a
desultory search in the hills is con-
tinued, the officials banked most upon
the possibility of the youths return
home and posted themselves about the
house.
Rokowsd set out to end the lives of
eight persons, according to the police,
but succeeded in killing only one and in
iiicting injuries which probably will
prove fatal upon two others.

Capt. Adrian G. Arson, who has lodged
in and out OF the baseball calcium light

is room a-plenty for the Federal league,
but that those at the head of the new

"There's plenty of room for the Fed
eral leaguers, but to succeed they'll have
to change their tactics" said the old
leader OF the Colts. "The league will
last as long as its money side holds
out, and the quickest way to spend what
money there is behind the project is
to keep on bidding on contracts as they
did in the Tinker case. have been told
by men pretty high up in baseball that
there is a very fair amount of money
behind the Federal league, but a few
more men at the price they paid for
Tinker will tie up lot of capital. What.
the Federals should do is to go after
young material not in the big leagues
and build up. 1t would take several
years, of course, to develop these men,
and in that time it would take lot of
money to swing the losing clubs, but
that IS Z better way tLl&.. taking ove-
disgruat!ed men o. waning stars at fab

length OF time to develop material to 60
with these high-priced men, so the drag
