10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREI
FL Paso, Tex. Feb. What is be-
lieved to be a widespread plot of Mex
lean border guards TO smuggle their
countrymen into the United States was
unearthed today at the hearing of
Rafael Garcia, charged with plotting
party of MeXicans across the Rio
Grande on the night of January 81.
A number of these Mexicans, testi-
flying before the commissioner ex-
pressed surprise at being interfered
with by the United States officers,
saying they had paid fee of 81 a
piece to the Mexican border guards
and were given to understand that the
American guards were to share in the
money.

can guards told their prospective GUS
toners, "and the American guards do
things with them by mutual agree
ment and division OF the fees

Warner and W. L. Sawyer, who testi-
fled in the hearing, told of capturing
ten men and a woman on the night of
January 81. They said many MeXi-
cans had paid the 81 fee only to find
upon reaching the American shore
that the Meixcans did not control both
sides of the Rio Grande.

New York. Feb. 1.-The govern
ment rested its case today in the trial
of Paul c. Henng, accused of tam
rering with gyroscope parts for naval
torpedoes, and Hennig's lawyer A. X.
Wing, argued one hour on a motion
for dismissal of the indictment, Judge
Chatfield said he would hold this un-
der advisement, meanwhile, hearing
the case of the defendant.
Mr.. Wing, in his argument, de-
clared the government had produced
no evidence to prove Hennig's guilt.
Il know that there is public clamor
for this mans conviction" Wing said.
"If I thought he was guilty I would
join in the clamor, but fortunately
for him--and he can thank God that
he is in this country-we do not con-
yict men because of public clamor"
Many Witnesses Called.
Many expert witnesses, it is said
will be called by the defense, to prove
that the defects in the horoscopes
were only normal and that even if
those parts had been used they would
have had no bad effect either in dis

effort will be made to show that Hen
mig incurred the enmty of the sixty

Jassy, Rumania, Sunday, Jan. 81
Odessa was captured by the Bolshevi-
Hi Saturday night. The Bolsheviki
troops are in full control of that city.
Kishinev, capital of Bessarabia and
the scene of Jewish massacres fifteen
years ago, was taken today by Ru-
manian forces who were sent there
in response to an appeal for aid from
the local Bessarabian government.
Odessa is the most important city

the fourth city of the empire in pop

Kherson, short distance east of the
mouth of the Dnieper river, ninety
miles southwest of Kherson, and
about 400 miles northeast of Con-

third were Jews.
Kishinev, with a population in 1897
of about 100000, is the chief center
OF Bessarabia for trade in grain, wool.

miles northwest of Odessa and thirty
miles from the Rumanian border.
The city presents little of interest out
side of the motley composition of, its
population, which consists of Ruman-
ians, Russians, Jews, Bulgarians,
Germans, Tartars and gypsies. Wine
culture and the growing of tobacco
are the chief industries

REGULATIONS
Of INCOME TAX
READY NEXT WEEK
Dividends Paid Out of DepIe-

sidered Return of Capital
and Not Taxable,
rsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED vrpe1

Washington Feb. Regulations
governing administration of the per-
sonal and corporation income tax
were completed today by the bureau
of internal revenue and will be ready
for distribution early next week Most
of the provisions are the same as those
covering the old income tax. The
question of inventories is left open to
he covered by a special regulation
later.
Among the more important new
regulations are those relating to div
fdends, depletion in the case of oil, gas
and mining properties, and payments
from depreciation and depletion re-
.servcs.
Ruling on Dividends.
"The ruling on dividends in sub
stance" says an official memorandum
on the regulation, 'is that dividends
paid during 1917 will be deemed to
have been paid from 1917 earnings if
such earnings during the year were
greater than the dividends distribut.
led, unless the corporations show that
at the time Of distribution of any par
ticular dividends the earnings were
mot sufficient to cover.
"a new ruling as an alternative to
the existing one has been provided
for computing the amount necessary
to return capital invested in oil and
gas wells the rule being based upon
an estimate of the units contained in
the property. and fee owners and
lessees are placed upon the same
basis insofar as bonuses haye actually

with regard to mining corpora
tions, it is stated that in passing on
values set up as of March I, 1915, as
Iva basis for depletion, the department
will give due weight to market quota
tions of ca pital' stock as of that date
and to values stated by the corpora
/ tions in their capital stock returns
"It is held that dividends paid out
of depletion or depreciation reserves
are in the nature of liquidation divi-
dend and are a return Of capital to
the stockholders and not taxable as
income. Such dividends will not be
SO regarded, however, unless the in
come and surplus have been first dis
tributed and the fact that their capt.
tai has been reduced or partly return
ed is made public in their published
statements.
| 'Provsion has also been made re-
versng a previous ruling and holding
as to stock returned to corporations
upon reorganization for purposes OF
resale to raise working capital, that
the proceeds when sold shall not b.
treated as income.

Washington, Feb. Fearing seri-

ment railroad administration today
rushed empty cars westward from the
eastern congestion area to provide for
an emergency movement of corn to
elevators and cotton to southern sea-
ports for trans-shipmen to New Eng
land mills, engaged on government
orders.
Owing to the absence of new snow
and the steady work of clearing tracks
of accumulated ice, the movement of
coal was slightly better today and Of
ficials predicted slight improvement
for the next few days
Warm Weather Feared.
The danger of floods loomed large,
however, with forecasts of warmer
weather tomorrow for the middle west
ana the gradual eastward movement
of the thawng area. The Ohio river
Is nearing a serious flood stage, and
Other streams in the middle west and
south have already overflowed and

The action was taken after con-

Imho explained that many cotton mills

PMr McAdoo announced, to furnish ad-
Iditional vessels to carry cotton now
accumulated at Galveston, New Or

Satisfactory progress was reported
today in the movement of export ship
ments of food for the allies to south
ern ports, to which they were diverted
several days ago to avoid the eastern
rail and harbor congestion.
