BROKER ARRESTED
AS EYADER OF TAX
Seymour L. Rau Pleads That
He Never Heard of
the Law.

Seymour Ia Rau OF 21s West Seventy
FIRST street, q broker in securities. con-
nected with tho firm OF w. r. Gray 4
Co.. SOL Fifth avenue. was arraisned
yesterday before Samuel NJ. Hitchcock,
United States Commissioner. charged
with failing to pay his income tax. He
was held In 5000 bail for hearing
on October s.
The arrest Of Rau disclosed that the
Government has been conducting a thor
ouEh search for income tax delinauents
William H. Edwards Collector OF Inter-
nal Revenue, who laid the complaint
against Rau. said that his agents have
been investigating other cases and that
more arrests are probable.
Rau Is accused in the first case Of its
kind In this city OF having failed will
fully to file a report On his income for
the Ave years from 1913 to 1918. In
several Of these years II 10 alleged that
his income ran as high as $4,000 above
the sum exempted under the law.
When arraigned. Rau asserted that he
had heard OF the corporation tax law
but not of an income tax law apply
ing to individuals. He explained that
w. F. Gray & CO. filled Its return In
Chicago.
II Rau Ia convicted Of evading the
payment OF income tax he will be liable
to imprisonment for hve years and
IS. 900 fine.
Collector Edwards said that the Gov
eminent Is determined to make ex-
amples Of men who have failed to file
income tax returns and that prosecu-
lions will be pushed vigorously.
Every Stacker Will be uncovered" said
Mr. Edwards Here we are raising a
great fourth Liberty Loan and the Gov
eminent requires every cent II can get.
can't believe that there are a great
many persons who have deliberately
failed to pay their income tax, but
wherever We decide that case Is one
OF wilful evasion We will push It to the
limit. no matter who the offender may
be.
"On different occasions I have pointed
out how foolish It Is for any one to try
to escape the payment of the obligation
to the Federal Government Nobody
can get away with It. Uncle Sam has
many effective ways of finding out who
are liable and who are not. This ONCE
| has given every one an opportunity to
pay his taxes. We have been as lem
| lent as the law will allow with those
who were embarrassed by lack OF
| money. but in the case of deliberate
slackors We will show no mercy.
"Rau said that ne did not know he
was subject to the tax. Ignorance Is
| no excuse. II is difficult to believe
that with all the publicity the law has
had anybody could have been without
| out knowledge OF Its requirements"

When Mrs. Margaret Boardman OF 279

customed sound and cav a man attempt
Ing to force her bedroom window. ST.
iently she slipped out from between the
sheets, picked out a pair of scissors from
the sewing basket and jumped back In
bed again. As the man dropped from
the window sill to the floor she sat UP,
pointed the cleaning shears at him and
cried sternly:
Halt. or I'll shoot.
please don't. Mrs. Boardman," pleaded
the intruder.
Mrs. Boardman's daughter ran for the
police and when the latter arrived they
found the man rigid with fear, his hands
thrown above his head and his eyes fixed
on the scissors levelled at his heart. The
intruder proved to be John Lindman
who occupies an apartment on the same
moor with Mrs Boardman. In the
Gates avenue police court yesterday he
said that he was out OF work and that he
had no money to support his wife and
two children. He waived examination
and was held without bail for the Grand

euch industry II did not cover the field
known as organic chemistry.
when you recall the great wealth OF
this country In petroleum and asphalt,
in all varieties of coal. In vegetable and
animal oil and fats, In cereals of all
kinds and IN ibers OF indispensab BILE

point Of attendance and ideas supplied
