tance from the border, and not q
great distance from Chihuahua, Mexico
Goldsby's alleged desertion from the
army might have been followed by his.
affiliation with Mexicans in that section
of the country, and, due to his several
years ofexperience in the army--part OF
it as an officer--it would have been easy
for him to become a leader Of GER
tain class OF Mexicans, and, later OF am
army.
Inquiries made by newspapers in
Texas and Arizona seek Information
from Tennessee to verify assertions that
Villa and Goldsby are the same, and that
be deserted the United States army in
the eighties and became Mexican ma
rauder. Thus far efforts have been un-
successful. There are negroes in Mem
phis named Goldsby, but no one has
been found that remembers George
Goldsby definitely. Negroes have been
found that say they knew Goldsby
negro who joined the army many years
ago, but they know nothing about him.
Thus far no effort has been made to
refute the allegations made by Western
and certain Mexican newspapers, and it
appears that Tennessee is getting credit
for furnishing rebel leader to the
Mexican mess.
EARLY HISTORY VAGUE.
Since Villas sensational rise into
prominence as an outlaw and rebel lead
er, Investigations have been made with
a view to getting his earlier history.
Such efforts, however, have been futile,
and little or nothing has been positively
ascertained that would discredit the
allegations that he did come from Mem
phis. A story gained circulation that
he was member OF prominent family
10 Northern Mexico, who tired OF the
life OF a Mexican gentleman and became
an outlaw. This, however, has been
discredited, and the earliest positive
knowledge Of his activities was the kill
ing OF an army officer in an adobe sa-
loon in chihuahua several years ago,
after which he escaped to the hills OF
Northern Mexico, and soon became
known as desperate bandit. The muir
der Of the army officer in the Chihuahua
saloon occurred about the time that
Goldsby is said to have deserted from
the United States army, few miles
across The border. The scant details 81
Villas record tend tolend color to the
allegation that he comes from Memphis.

VOLUNTEER STATE.
Agricultural Bill Carries Items OF
Interest.
By JESSE $. corrRELL.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The agricul-
turaI appropriation bill, which has gone
to the House for early consideration
embodies a number OF items which are
OF interest to Tennessee. Representa-
tive J. w. Byrns went over the bill care
fully, in view OF bis membership Of the
General Committee on Appropriations,
and finds that the sum Of $400, 900 is
proposed generally for the eradication
Of the cattle tick, OF which Tennessee
is now free, but a part Of which sum
will be used in Tennessee in the event
such is needed. A recent resolution OF
Congress appropriated $500, 900 for the
eradication Of hog cholera and Tennes-
see is now receiving her share OF this
sum.
The agricultural bill carries $25, 600
for the investigation and improvement
OF tobacco and the method Of tobacco
production and handling The work
will be along the line Of special agent
whom Mr.. Byrns had sent TO Clarks-
vile last year to make an investigation
and which Investigations are to continue
in the tobacco belts OF Tennessee and
Kentucky. For the prosecution Of in-
secticide work in tobacco and Southern
crops the sum Of s49, 600 is set aside.
It is thought that these sums will go
through as set out 10 the bill. n
Representative Byrns has been advised
that an additional SIC. 900 has been APP
or allowed BY the Depart
ment OF Agriculture for government
aid to public roads 10 Montgomery
County, for which baiIiwick like sum

nual depreciation in the value of such
machinery. For example, If machine
cost 500 and is regarded as good for
ten years OF service, the annual depreci-
alton would be 10 per cent. and de-
duetion OF $40 each year could be made
on this account, as part Of the expense
of operating the farm.
The expense OF supporting the fam
lily, however, can not be deducted from
the gross income. Among items for
which credit is not allowed are expenses
for medical attendance, life insurance,
insurance on dwelling, store accounts,
family supplies, wages of domestic
servants, and cost OF board, room or
house rent for family or personal use.
In case an individual owns his residence
he cannot deduct the estimated value OF
his rent, but tenant operating a rent
ed farm as proprietor may deduct the
rent Of the farm as part OF the expense
of his business.
Farmers are not required to include
in their income the produce taken from
the farm and consumed by the family.
Only produce sold off the farm is to be
included A farmer is not entitled to a
deduction for his own labor, or for ex-
pense Of feeding live stock. He may,
however, deduct such items as cost Of
fertilizer and other supplies and ma
terials which are used up in the course
OF his operations.
The law provides that for the year
1918 the tax shall be computed only on
the net income for the ten months from
March l to December 81, and that re-
turns shall be made on the basis OF five-
sixths OF the year. Therefore, il the
NET INCOME for the last ten months Of
1913 amounts to $1,000 or more re-
turn on form 1040 is required. For the
ten months OF 1918 every single person
is allowed $1,000 exemption and in the
case OF husband and wife, living to-
gether, SO, 333. 33 exemption. In COM
putting the net income for this period
deductions should be made for only
five-sixths OF the amounts properly al
lowable for the whole year. Returns
for 1913 must be made by March /,
1914.
Blanks for making returns for the
income tax may be obtained from the
collectors OF revenue throughout the
country, or from the Bureau Of Inter
nal Revenue OF the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, d. G. In case Of
failure on the part Of any one who is
subject to the tax to file the return by
the first of March, the law fixes a pen
atty OF so per cent. of the amount OF
the tax assessed and $40 to 81 900 fine.
In case OF false or fraudulent return
there is penalty OF 100 per cent. and
$50 to $4,000 fine and one years i'm
prisonment or both.
The Bureau OF Internal Revenue is
preparing regulations which may be
obtained by interested persons on appli-
cation to Collector OF Internal Revenue
for the applieant's district.

Representative McKellar, of Tennes-
see, Thursday afternoon occupied the
attention OF the House for an hour in
the discussion OF his military reserve
bill, which calls for an appropriation
by Congress to educate young men for
military duty. The Government ~
asked to appropriate $240, 900 annually
and the several States each $120, 900 to
maintain military school in each State
where 800 young men shall be kept in
school on the proviso that they hold
themselves in readiness for military
duty OF three years. He said his pro-
posed law would educate 5000 young
men annually who would not otherwise
get an education; second, that within
seven years there would be created an
army reserve of $4,000 OF the best
trained men in this country, who would
be lawfully required to respond and who
would respond instantly to the call to
arms of their county. The proposed
schools are to be under the direction OF
West Point graduates.

had already been allowed. The county
will be expected to meet this sum with
another 500, 900, work in the amount
Of $4,000 to be done in Montgomery
County under government supervision.

Concord, N. If !, Marcn 27-The final
brief on behalf of Harry K. Thaw, on
his petition for writ Of habeas cor
pus and for admission to bail pending
a decision on the question Of extradi-
ton. was filed in the United States
district court by counsel today
The document lays stress on the
claim that the statute under which
Thaw originally was committed to the
insane asylum at Matteawan is un-
constitutional and therefore it was not
a crime for him to escape from Gus
tody; that an insane person cannot
commit crime and accordingly can
not be extradited on a charge Of com
mitting a crime; that Thaw's sanity
or insanity must be decided before 1t
can be determined that there is juris-
diction to extradite him; and that he
lis not fugitive from Justice within
the meaning Of the federal law.
AS to bail, counsel maintains that

"The purpose Of the state Of New
