That there are many Pine Blufflans who class themselves among those In the prosperous list is indicated by the fact that the postoffice departmeE> through Postmaster John D. Will bourne has given out over TO income tax blanks, and there have been enough demands for them to run the list up to over 25O blanks. March l is given by the United States govern ment as the time limit on which the schedule of income of persons and corporations coming under the provl- sions of the law, can file blanks. AS the first day of the month falls on Sunday Saturday was in reality the last day.
 As the local postoffice has not a sufficient number of blanks, it is ex- pected that those who come within the scope of the law and who have not received them will be allowed to file their schedules when the blanks arrive.

STAR ANTI BECKER
 WITNESS VANISHED
~an SEinps. Ex-Gamhler, Has DiS- appeared From New York
 his. Becker fc Testify.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Sam Shipps. the dapper little sporting man whose testimony helped more than any thing else to convict Charles Becker ot the murder of Herman Rosenthal. has vanished. Five days ago when announced of the Court of Appeals made iii the newspapers, Shipps, who had been selling jewelry. called up bis attorney. Bernard l.. Sander and made an appointment to talk over the new turn of affairs. He did not keep and since that time he has not been seen in any of his favorite haunts in New York.
 Shir.ss two brothers profess to know his whereabouts but declare they will turn over their information to no one but the district attorney. Attorney Sander believes his client has gone 10 South America. In ad- Giton to the announcement that Becker will take the stand at the new trial which probably will begin on April IA or 15, more interest is added by the fact that Mrs. Becker will testify. She will deny the story Of Jack Rose that he was constant visitor at her home and will attempt 10 discredit much of the story Ships told of his visits there. She will tell of the two cablegrams she received from Shipps while he was in Paris offering for a consideration, to tell her something that would save Charley's life.
