Howell, head of one of the largest
transfer companies In this city. was
bound over to the district court tnis
afternoon by Justice ]. Harvey Smith,
following n preliminary trial in his
court. where he must face trial on
charge Of receiving stolen property.
Howell Immediately furnished bond
in the sum Of $1,000 for his ap-
pearance.
While searching Howell's home for
liquor. which they believed to have
been stored there. deputy sheriffs dis
covered a new auto casing concealed
in an out-of-the- place and COW
cred with n lap robe. The casing w.
later identified by T.. G. Cope of kie-
fer as one which had been stolen from
the rear OF his automobile.
Counsel for Howell demurred to tue
evidence introduced by the state on
the grounds that the county attorney
had failed to prove that the transfer
man had knowingly purchased n stoirI
casing. When the demurrer was over
ruled the attorney for the defense
asked that the amount of the bond bs
set as he would not introduce any evi-
dence until the end OF the trial.

Law May Be Amended to Open
Federal Records to State
Officials Seeking to Make
Assessments.
World Washington Bureau,
704 Metropplitan Bank Building.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 25.-
Congress will be asked to amend the
income tax law so that state officials
can have access to income returns of
individuals as made TO the treasury
department thru the international
from several states, including Okla
homa, and State Auditor Il. Il. How
ard, assistant Attorney General c.
w. King, and Charles Barrett have
been in Washington the last few days
in reference to this matter.
The present law provides that when
the governor of any state requests the
income figures, corporations, CO.
partnerships, associations companies
or life insurance companies the pres
ident shall grant the request, but the
law says nothing about individuals
and for that reason the states are
unable to get the figures for use in
estimating the state income tax OF
individuals.
The oklahoma men called on the
revenue department today in company
with congressman Ferris, McClintick
McCowen and Carter and officials as
sured them that an amendment would
be recommended at once.
The Oklahoma officials also called
on Secretary Lane and requested that
Game Parker be instructed to give
the state auditor the incomes of In
dians.
Heretofore Parker has not been al
lowed to divulge the income of the
Indians and the Indians have refused
on the grounds that the interior de-
partment was conducting their busi-
ness and that they did not know the
amount Order to withhold from the
Indians royalty money sufficient
amounts to meet the state income tax
pending the time when suits can be
brought In the Oklahoma courts tc
determine whether or not the state
income tax law is applicable to wards
of the government.
Mr.. King also made a rs1uest OF
President Wilson to furnish the state
with the cost figures of production OF
oil and gasoline in Oklahoma so tha'
the state could arrive at n basis fol
price control.
These figures were compiled by thu
federal trade commission, and the,
refused to permit Oklahoma to hav,
them without an order from the presi
dent.
Mr. King Indicated that the state in
tended to control the price OF fuel oi
thru the corporation commission.
Messrs. Howard and King left fol

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept 25.
Because of the fact that few lesu
than the 40 per cent of the men
drafted for the army in Oklahoma
were sent on September 10, Adjutant
General carp will send "A few more
than the % per cent called for on Cc-
tober 3. Probably this will amount to
100 men more than the 25 per cent.
misunderstanding of orders in the
counties probably accounted for the
fact that some counties did not sent.
any, and others not the full quota, on
September 10. 1t is said that one
county sent sixteen too many, and that
the surplus was sent back home by the
railroad company before the men hitu
reached destination. But with the
sending of the next 25 per cent this
will all be Strengthened out.
