PRACTICALLY ALL HOPE FOR
MINERS GIVEN UP

Eccles, w. Va, April 2e.-Practi-
cally all hope that any of the 1876 men
entombed by an explosion. in mine No.
of the New River Galleries Com
pany here are alive was abandoned
early today. Frantic efforts at rescue
are still progressing.
The death toll of one of West Vir-
ginia's worst mine disasters will
reach 201, according to conservative
estimates today. Three men are still
unaccounted for in mine No. 6,
wrecked by an explosion shortly fol-
lowing that which brought death far
underground to the men in No. 5.
Twelve bodies have been taken from
this shaft and sixty men rescued
alive, a score of them horribly burned.
These mines are owned by the
Guggenheim interests and figured in
the recent coal strike war which was
investigated by a special congress
sional committee.

SALT LAKE MAY GET
". P. GENERAL OFFICES

B. F. Bush, president of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande
and Western Pacific, is said to be
considering a plan for the removal
Of the general offices of the Denver
& Rio Grande from Denver to Salt
Lake, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican. 1t is believed that
such move would effect a large
annual saving in expenses.
The Western Pacific is being
supervised by the Rio Grande
officials and as the general Offices
of the operating department are
1900 miles away from the coast
terminus Of the line difficulty, it
is said, has been experienced in
getting quick results.
1t was stated yesterday by a
Denver & Rio Grande official that
the removal Of the general offices
from Denver to Salt Lake is being
seriouls considered and that esti-
mates are being made at this time
as to the cost of operating the COM
bined Offices in Salt Lake. Suitable
quarters are being looked over. It
is said that President Bush thinks
that great'r eff cie% cys q be OBJ
tanned by having the general Offices

INCOME TAX

We have received the following
from Joseph J.. Scott, collector Of
Internal Revenue for the First Dis
trict of California, which includes
this State, with the request that it
be published. 1t should be read
by every citizen:
To All C0ncerned:
! desire to call the attention Of
every person liable to the Federal
Income Tax to the necessity Of
making a sworn return Of his or
her income to the Collector Of In
ternal Revenue on or before the
first day of March.
This is a liabili y that attaches 10
every person. man or woman, citi-
zen of the United States or alien
resident # the country. with a net
annual income of $4,000 or more:
and what is more, it is a liability
that attaches under severe penalties
for refusal to comply with the law
by making such report. The forms
for returns are now available for
distribution and will be sent to all
who apply for them. They will
also be placed in the hands of the
bank from which they IAN be OBJ
tanned by individuals.
1t will not do for a person with
taxable income to wait until an
invitation is extended by this office
before taking steps to obey the law
by obtaining a blank form and pre-
pairing the required report. While
everything possible will be done by
my deputies and my elf to COM
municate directly with those sub
ject to the tax during the next few
weeks, those enjoying Sufficient in
come to be taxable are expected to
cooperate and file returns without
demand being made on them to do
so.
These persons with taxable in
come who neglect this responsibility
will subject themselves to the pen
allies of the law. and it will not be
o.
in order for them subsequently to
plead that they we're not asked to
file returns. My deputies will care
fully canvass the territory under
my jurisdiction, comprising all that
part Of California north Of Kern
County and the entire state of Ne
vada. They will keep up the can
vass even after tn first of March
and they will have ample authority
to get the information they. seek.
Those taxable persons located after
that date will have failed to obey
the law and will be liable to it's
pen tiles.
Let me mention these penalties
for the information Of the public.
The penalty for failure TO file the
return of income within the time
specified by law is from $50 to ST.
600. In the case of refusal oe ne
glect to render the return within
the required time. so per cent will
be added to the amount OF the tax
assessed. In the a of a false
or fraudulent return, 100 per cent
will be added to the tax and any
person found guilty of such fraud
with intent to defeat or evade the
tax will be liable to a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or imprisonment moi
exceeding one year, or may be both
fined and imprisoned.
I request the cooperation of the
public and nave called attention to
the penalties provided by the law.

evade the statute, but that all may
