CABINET ORDERS BIG HUNT
FOR INCOME TAX DODGERS

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Income
tax dodgers we're the chief subjects
of discussion at yesterdays cabinet
meeting.
Secretary McAdOo laid his heart
open to his colleagues, and declared
if they would lend him their hearty
cooperation he would soon round up
all in the country who have lodged
the payment of part or all Of their
just income tax and would swell the
treasury balance to noble proportions
The cabinet promised assistance,
and the entire secret service of the
government including the investiga-
tors of the department of justice, the
special agents of the departments of
commerce. labor and agriculture,
postoffice inspectors and the 400 in
vestigators of the internal revenue
bureau, will be turned loose on the
tax dodgers.
Enough evidence of evasion has
been collected already, according to
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Osborne, to make up at least half of
the 100000 deficit in the income
tax receipts. Much of this has been
obtained from letters received by the
bureau pointing out the names of
dodgers and their incomes. Many OF
these letters we're anonymous 9th

HOLD Meeting and
DISCUSS The SITUATION

Owing to the fact that some of the
teachers of the public schools seemed
to be laboring under a misunderstand-
ing relative to the matter of obtain
ing an increase in their salary, a spe-
cial meeting of the teachers was call
ed yesterday afternoon by the COM
mittee which was appointed some time
ago for the purpose of waging a cam
paign for an increase in salary, in
order that they might report the re-
suit of their efforts.
The committee. which consists of
five teachers, told Of the efforts they
had made for the increase, and how
they had obtained an increase from
Council, explaining however. that the
increa- was not as large as they
had expected, owing to the fact that
Council could not lawfully grant a
larger appropriation. The committee
assured the teachers that they would
receive the full increase that Coun-
citl allowed them from the Board of
Education, and mentioned that they
had the assurance Of a further in
crease when the Legislature granted
/ permission for the increase to be
allowed
All the teachers, with the exception of
the High School teachers registered a

NAL yesterday afternoon was given
the information that the name of Vic
tor B. Woolley OF Wilmington, Del,
would in all probability be recon-
mended by Attorney General Mercy
nolds as Judge on the Third Circuit OF
Appeals and that following this rec
ommendation, Judge Woolley's name
would probably be forwarded In the
near future by President Wilson TO
the Senate for confirmation.
While White House officials would
give out no direct statement as to
the Presidents intentions I'm the mat
ter. It was tacitly admitted that Mr
Wilson had been much impressed by
the strong Endorsement given the Del
aware jurist and that furthermore his
failure to recognize the almost unani-
nous appeal of the citizens of Della
ware for the appointment of Woolley
would mean that the administration
did not see At to confer patronage on
that State.
