materially different from the law at

lose its half interest IN the New Or,

leaving the Southern railway in sole

CYCLONE DESTROYS TWO TOWNS
MAUD AND REDWATER, IN BOWIE
COUNTY, SWEPT AWAY.
Several Persons Were Killed and
Many Were Seriously Injured.
Damage Is Great.

Two small towns in Northeast Tex
as, Maud and Redwater, in Bowie
County, were literally swept out OF ex'
istence on Monday morning, four per-
sons were killed, many were seriously
injured, and property damage amount
ing to hundreds of dollars done by a
storm of cyclonic proportions that
swept across East Texas from the VI
cinity of Cleburne to the Texas state
line.
The dead, all at Maud, are:
Mrs. Pearl White, William Morgan,
Adam Shelton and an unidentified ne
gro.
About thirty persons were seriously
injured, some thought to be fatally
hurt.
At Redwater no deaths were report
ed, but the list of injured includes
about twenty-five, some Of whom will
die
The storm was Of marked severity
in the northeastern part of the state
and the damage widespread. In add,
ton to the two towns that were wiped
out Of existence, the rural communi'
ties in that part of the state were hard
hit and many farm houses were de-
stroyed
Considerable damage was done
north of Cleburne. Several persons
were hurt, some seriously. Waxa'
hachie, Ennis, Midlothian, Ferris,
Paris, Greenville, Pittsburg, Texar,
kama and other East Texas towns re.
port the passage of the storm. All
these towns report considerable dam
age resulting from wind and light
ming. Houses were blown down, plate
glass windows blown in, and in sew
eral towns many persons were injured
by flying timbers.
The storm was accompanied by al
most unprecedented rains, the rain
belt extending for many miles on
either side of the path of the greatest
severity of the storm. Streams are
reported again out of banks and dam
age to growing and planted crops will
be great. Many of the streams were
not within banks from the recent
heavy rains and the present downpour
will cause severe overflows.
Railway and interurban traffic in
the path of the storm was badly Grip,
pied. A number of poles have blown
down on the Dallas Waxahachie branch
of the interurban.

GOOD ADVICE FOR
TAX OEL|NQUENTS
WARNED TO MAKE RETURNS AND
PAY THEIR INCOME TAX
WITHOUT MORE DELAY.
ysnan,r Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-J. Y. Fauntleroy, Col
lector of Internal Revnue, in response
to inquiries asking information as to
the policy which will be adopted this
year by the government with regard to
delayed income tax returns of corpo-
rations and individuals, made the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is evident that many corporations
and individuals. subject to the pay
ment of an income tax, have failed to
make returns. The attention Of all who
are in this class is called to the fact
that the government will make yigor-
Gus efforts to ascertain who the delin-
quents are.
THE provisions of the law are that
failure to make return, when due,
subjects the delinquent to an increase
of so per ceRt in the amount Of tax,
and, in addition, penalty Of rot less
than 500 or more than 81 900, in the
case of individuals, and of not more
than $4,000 in the case Of corpora
tons, is imposed.
"The statute is mandatory, and will
be invoked against all individuals and
corporations who failed to file return
by March / last or within such ex-
tended time as may have been granted
by the Collector Of Internal Revenue,
in accordance with authority vested in
him.
THE Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue, however, with the advice and
consent Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, may compromise any civil or
criminal case arising under the intern.
al revenue laws, instead of commence
ing suit thereon. AS it Is undoubtedly
true that the delinquency in many
cases has been due to misunG
ing or negligence, and not to any
intent to evade the requirements of
the law, or to escape taxation, It is
suggested that all those in Louisiana
in this class should voluntarily file re,
turns at once, addressed to the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue, this city. The
necessary form will be furnished upon
application.
Attached to the return, there should
be an affidavit affirming that there
was no intention to violate the law,
and setting forth concisely and clearly
the reasons for the delay. The affida-
Wit should be accompanied by an offer
to compromise for not less than $40,
if individuals, or $50, e corporations,
which are the lowest amounts that will
be accepted by the government when
there has been no intent to violate the
law.
/ "The advantage to come from volun.
tarily submitting a return, instead OF
waiting for the Government to demand
it, is obvious, in that such course
might cause the minimum instead OF
the maximum amount of penalty to be
imposed"

Assurances or even q strong belief that
reorganization plan had been perfected
by which sufficient new capital would be
raised by the Rock Island stockholders
and collateral trust bondholders would
easily account for the sharp rise in the
debenture bonds OF the railway company.
1t has been held all along by experts that
the bonds OF the parent company were
perfectly good. no matter how things
turned out. But in the prolonged asita-
tion over Rock Island affairs the prices
OF these issues had been allowed to de-
cline to unreasonably low levels. Ger
tainly II 1t was to be conceded that the
interest on the debentures was reasonably
safe a price OF 10 for n per cent bond
was low. even considered as a speculation.
This disparity could not have long been
overlooked and the manner In which It
was rectned indicated plainly that the
supply OF bonds anywhere near that price
was small. Tho traders quickly caught
on to the speculative possibilities in this
quarter and the big dealings and rapid
fluctuations were due to heavy purchases
and sales for the account OF this element.
