WASHINGTON. May 3l.-Rcprcsenta-

tion Bill. asked Chairman Dent OF the
Military Committee whether It was true
that there were 100000 American SOL
diers abroad. as announced yesterday In
speech at Chicago by Senator Lewis
OF Illinois. Mr.. Dent replied that be-
cause of the request OF the War De-
partment that the exact number OF
troops abroad be kept secret he was un-
able to answer.
THE Senator from Illinois is at least
believed to be one OF tho principal
spokesmen for the Administration. and
therefore think II proper to ask II the
figures he quotes are correct" replied
Mr.. Longworth.

rect?" asked Representative Shcrley OF

WASHINGTON, May s1.-secretary
McAdoo to-day laid out a dragnet
for 5oo.ooo,O 900 Stacker dollars.
Scores OF agents OF the Internal
Revenue Department arc searching
the nation for tax dodgers and per-
sons whose income tax returns were
incorrectly computed. Startling dis
closures have come with the fling OF
more than 5,SOo.OOc tax reports and
evidence OF fagrant disregard OF tax
laws and lack OF patriotism is at
hand. In thousands OF returns also
there is apparent ignorance OF ex-
emptions and methods Of computing
incomes and profits.
Preliminary reports OF revenue
agents show:
That at least 100000 persons failed
to make returns who should, and
these will net Ss0,OOO,OOO in addi-
tional taxes.
That Investigations into three
groups OF trades-coal, oil and wool
Unsatisfactory need OF applying in

That the total number OF Stacker
dollars out, as computed from those
already uncovered, will reach half a
billion.
The greatest problem facing the
revenue experts is obtaining exact fig.
ures on Incomes of large corporation,
from their subsidiaries. In severa
cases It has been discovered that great
corporations show tax returns only
half as great as they should, and man,

The British press and public were

ical superiority OF the enemy forces
and the Gallantry and coolhcadcdncss
OF the French defenders are fully ap-
preciated here. Likewise, Gen. Foch's

NEW YORK LOSES
100000 TAXoN
/. HARKNESS ESTATE
Appellate Division Reverses
Surrogate and Holds He
Did Not Live Here.

The Appellate Division OF the Su.
preme Court to-day reversed the de.
clsion OF Surrogate John p. Cohaiar
in the matter Of the transfer tax upon
the estate OF Lamon v. Harkncss
valued at 500, 900. 900.
Harkness died in California at the
home OF his daughter, Mrs. Myrtle II.
Macomber. on Jan. II, 1915. The SUR
rogate held that no was resident OF
this city. The Appellate Division in
reversing this holds that the decedent
at the time OF his death was a resi-
dent OF Walnut Hall. at Donersil, Ky.
Hardness was one OF the Standard Oil
magnates, and for twenty-three years
had maintained home in Donerail, as
well as having a house in New York.
The Hardness estate, under the rui-
ing OF the Surrogate, would have had
to pay transfer tax of about $1,000,
900 to this state. The decision OF the
Appellate Division. which was unani-
illOuos AAit NoAhNc liOHi pay llk
any tax in New York except for $1,000
on property here.
Kentucky will not have the benefit
of the transfer tax. as the dece1ent
held little property in that State. Three
States-New York. California and
Kentucky-contended for the resi-
dence. The Supreme Court OF the
state Of California held that the de-
cedent was not a resident OF that
state and New York now holds that lie
was not a resident Of this State.
The principal heirs of Harkness are
his three children. Harry s. Harkness
OF No. 3jS Fifth Avenue, this city:
Mrs Leila II. Edwards OF Pittsburgh
and Mrs. Macomber of California.
Among his assets, besides consider
able real estate, were valuable
yacht and about $50, 100000 in serur-
tiles in vaults in this city.
