INCOME TAX TO SHOW LOSS.
Decrease Of 20 to 80 Per Cent Is Due to
Trade Depression.

Washington, March "a survey OF
the income tax returns on file In the
treasury department indicates a fall
ing off from 20 to so per cent because
of the business depression.
Last year approximately $76,000,000
was collected from the individual in
come and corporation taxes. OF this
sum about $45.000,0O0 came from the
corporations and s31.Oo0,0O0 from in
divjduals.
The treasury department is making
its income tax assessments on returns
received during the months of January.
It will soon finish these and take up
those filed in February, up to and in
cluding March 1. Under the law, indi-
viduals and corporations are compelled
to make their returns prior to March 1.
Inasmuch as corporations are permitted
to file their schedules for their own fis-
cal years or for the calendar year, as
they choose, a great many corporation
returns were made in January.
Business thruout the country last
year was far below normal in practi-
cally every line except agriculture, ac-
cording to the returns. In great many
agricultural districts reverses were
suffered equal to those in the Industrial
centers.
A review Of last years returns shows
that little increase in taxes will be had
as a result Of the agricultural prosper
ity in certain sections, inasmuch as
:hs earnings Of the average farmer are
below the exemption mark of $4,000,
in the case Of married men and Of $3,-
900 in the case of most unmarried ag-
riculturists.
The great bulk OF the individual in
came tox came from the cities. Chicago
alone paid more income tax than the
entire cotton farming south. according
to statistics presented in the house
some weeks ago by Representative
Madam

New York, March 9. - 1t was an
nounced today by en- Official Of the
court that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw would
appear as witness in Harry Thaw's
behalf in his present trial. In his
previous trials Evelyn Nesbit has ap-
peared against him.
"A week ago a process server from

Mrs. Thaw with subpoena bidding
her appear for the trial for the prose

night he shot White and explained how

Two Methods For Release.
There were only .wo methods by
which Thaw could have heen released
from the asylum, ne said. The first
was by swearing out a writ Of habeas
corpus and the other way was upon the
recommendation Of the hospital super
intendent.
"Thaw did avail himself of these
methods" said Mr.. Kennedy. He sued
out various writs of haoeas corpus.
Had any of the numerols hospital su-
perintnedents held the belief that he
had recovered his sanity they could
have made Recommendation to a JUS

John B. Stanchfield, Thaw's chiea
counsel. said that should the jury find
his client not guilty he would imme-
diately sue out writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that his detention was
illegal because the jury would have
established his sanity.
