CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE
AND ST. PAUL UNDER
FIRE OF PROBERS
Serious Irregularities in Accounting
of Railroad and Subsidiaries,
Is Charged

Washington, d. c., March 6.-"Seri-.
Gus irregularities" in the accounting of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad and its subsidiary, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound,
were charged in the report of an In
terstate Commerce Commission inves-
ugation to-day by Commissioner Har-
Ian, which makes the direct allega-
tion that irregularities in reports of
operations submitted to the commits
sion were made for the purpose of in
fiuencing, favorably, disposition of st.
Paul Railway securities.
The irregularities disclosed by this
inquiry, Commissioner Harlan points
out, are similar to those disclosed by
the commissions investigation into the
financial operations of the New Haven
and the Frisco system. 1t is asserted
that the income of the Puget Sound
was greatly overstated, variety of
expedients being resorted to for this
purpose" and that the fictitious
showing of income was used by the
officers of the Puget Sound Company
to aid in the sale of it's bonds"
In the language of Commissioner
Harlan, such serious delinquencies
merit the strongest condemnation"
No reflection is made by the report
upon the financial condition of the two
roads, as the results of their opera
ton must be regarded as very favor
able; but the report says that the
accounts of these companies have not
correctly shown the facts, a condition
of affairs not creditable to the st.
Paul lines or to their officers"

WHAT GOOD ROADS DO

iohh NCchty.1
In Missouri two farmers living at
separate counties, but at an equal dis
tance from the cotton market, learned
by telephone that cotton had gone up
in price 81 a bale. One farmer lived on
a very bad road. He could haul Just
one bale of cotton. The other farmer,
living on an improved road, hauled four
bales. The rise in price gained the first
farmer 81, and the second farmer 81.
farmer in Sullivan county, Tenn, a
few miles from Bristol. had 100 bushels
of potatoes which he intended to mar
ket during the winter. But the roads
were so bad that he was unable to do
any hauling whatever and the potatoes
rotted in his cellar. In the meantime
the price of potatoes in Bristol went up
to $1.40 a bushel. During the winter
ten carloads of farm produce, including
wheat and potatoes, were s. ipped into
Bristol daily to feed not only 1t but the
only the farmer, but the town dweller
as well was interested in rural roads.

dead.
Bellboy's Story
Rogers says that after the girl re-
tired he thought it strange that she
should act as she did. as she showed
no signs of having been drinking.
About O'Clock he sent young Miller,
the bellboy, to the room to see if any,
thing had happened.
In the room. the boy says he heard
noise, and from a gleam coming
from under the door he saw that the
light had been left burning. He says
the noise frightened him, and he re-
ported to the clerk. Another bellboy
was sent with him and they opened
the door, which they found unlocked.
They saw the girl lying quietly in
bed with her hands folded on her
breast. She was completely undressed
and there was no sign of a disturb
ance in the room.
The house physician, DR.. NJ l.. VOL

dead. AS soon as Coroner Eckinger
arrived he began an investigation.
Torn Envelope Found
Two small pocketbooks lying to-
gether on the table in the room con-
tanned only forty cents. The girl had
paid $3.50 for a room. An envelope
torn into small bits was found scatter

the pieces together and found the en-
velope addressed to Alex Swartz, gen.

INCOME TAX
 DECLARATION
 OF S2O,OOO Greenwich Man Leads Resi- dents of Fairfield
 County WEALTHY BRIDGEPORTERS ARE BACKWARD, so FAR Those Who Delay Beyond March 1 Are Liable to Penalty of $1, 900

Income tax returns demanded by the Federal Government under an act approved October, 1913, are being made in large numbers to the Inter nal Revenue department at Bridge port. About 250 returns from Fair field county have been made to the Bridgeport office alone and it is be- Ieved that an almost equally large number have been made.to Hartford.
 The largest declaration of personal income noted is $20,oe0 made by a resident of Greenwich. while the ayer- age is 5000 and $6,000. From the figures so far obtainable it would appear that many of Bridgeport's re- puted n1dllionaires, after exemptions and privileges have been removed have net incomes of less than $2o,00o per year.
 All declarations have to be made voluntarily and are sworn to before a notary public under oath A fine for the failure to have returns filed be- fore March list of from $20 to $1,000 is prescribed in the act. and will be en- forced by the special agent. Albert G. Ry1e appointed for this district.
 On incomes less than $20, 900 there is an exemption of s2,5oo for single men and married men are exempted one-third of the net. After deduc- tions and exemptions the tax is 1 per cent. On incomes of $50. 1000 and not exceeding $76.o0O there is a. tax of 2 per cent.
 Forms for the returns may be se- cured from the office of the Internal Revenue. post-office building, where William I. Davis, field deputy, and J. F. Clancy, office deputy, have charge of the collections.

Concord, N. H., Feb. 21-The last hearing in the United States court for the district of New Hampshire in the matter of Harry K. Thaw was con cluded today, William T.

 / The court also instructed that the further question of the right to bail of a non-dangerous man under habeas corpus proceedings be discussed.
