IS IT MAINTENANCE OR INCOME?

Mrs. Howard H. SpauIding, Jr., formerly Miss Catherine Barker, "the $30,O0O,OOO heiress," through her for mer guardian, James B. Forgan, has brought suit against Julius F. Smie- tanka, collector of internal revenue in Chicago, for a refund of $4,472.37 paid as income tax and for $10,OO0 addi- tional.
 The suit dates back to 1916, when the internal revenue office "by duress" collected $4,472.37 from the First Trust and Savings bank, which holds in trust the estate left by her father. MT. Forgan is seeking the re- fund on the ground that Mrs. Spauld- Ing does not derive an income from her fathers estate until she becomes twenty-six years old.
 The trust fund stipulates, 1t is as- serted that she be paid certain sums as maintenance, and these sums, 1t Is cOntended, cannot be classed as in- come. The income of the estate, the bill recites, is paid back into the trust cipal, and is therefore not subject to
 The additional $10,OOO asked for f to cover costs. Mrs. Spaulding's fathe CT of Michigan City, Ind.

MISSOURI FARMER ROBBED
Bandits Tie Aged Man in Blanket Near
Joplin and Take s., 800
in Cash.

Joplin, Mo-, Feb. 2O.-Edward W.
Frerer, "a years old, residing at Duen-
veg, six miles east Of here, was at
tackled by three masked bandits in his
home last night, tied in a blanket,
forced to give the combination to his
private safe, beaten into insensibility
and robbed of $4,000 in cash.
Frerer lives alone. The first he
knew of the presence of the robbers
was when they began tieing him in a
blanket on which he slept When he
refused to give the safe combination
they beat him with revolvers. Then
they dragged him to a position on the
floor in front of the safe, and ex-
hibiting a bottle which they said con-
tanned nitro-glycerin, the robbers said
if the old man did not give them the
combination they would blow the safe
and him with it. Then he yielded. He
was found an hour later by a neigh
Dor who heard his cries for help. His
wounds are considered serious.
The bandits overlooked $1,000 in
Liberty bonds.

SENATE ARMY BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Sets Limit of IT'S, 600
With One Year of Service
for the Men.
ADD NUMEROUS AMENDMENTS
Bill Now Goes to Conference for Final
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Appropri-
alton of 5000, ooo, 900.

Washington, Feb 19-Legislation
providing for temporary military es-
adjustment of about $4,000 officers
and men during the fiscal year begin
ming next July 1 was eliminated from
the annual army appropriation bill to-
night in the house after passage of
the Senate bill for resumption of vol
untary enlistments in the peace time
army, which would be restricted to
the maximum of 175,OOO men author
lied in the national defense act Of
1916.
The Senate measure now goes to
conference and will become effective
upon its approval by President Viii
son. The army bill also was adopted
by the house without a record vote
and now goes to the Senate with its
completion there at this session re-
garded by many leaders as doubtful.
It carries total of $1,O70, 100000 for
the War Department for the twelve
months after June 80.
1t was explained by members of the
House that the Senate bill did not af-
feet the present war time army,
which, under the selective service
act, must be demobilized within four
months after peace is formally de-
clared by presidential proclamation.
Decision of the house to consider the
Senate measure was by a vote of 172
to 1872, Chairman Dent, by Direction
Of the house military committee, had
asked for a rule to make the tempo
rary army legislation in the regular
appropriation bill in order, but the
rules committee took no formal action
on the request
Instead, it voted z to to report
resolution giving the Senate meas
ure the right of way. Ten Republi-
cans joined with 1872 Democrats in
voting for the resolution in the House
after a sharp debate. Before adopt
ing the Senate bill the House amend
ed it to provide that recruits should
be enrolled in the regular army for
only one year without further service
in the reserve. Their pay was fixed
by another amendment at $50 month,
the wartime basis in the army.

MINERS PETITION
FOR PROTECTION
Organizations in Kansas Coal
Fields Ask for More Res
cue Equipment.
BARBECUE FOR LEGISLATORS
Negro Industrial and Educational In
stitute at Topeka Entertains Mem
bers of House and Senate.

Miners organizations throughout
the Kansas coal field have submitted
petitions to the state legislature for
additional mine rescue equipment,
claiming that the present equipment
Is by far inadequate to meet the
needs. 1t is pointed out that at pres
ent there are but fifteen sets Of mine
rescue apparatus in the state. They
claim that this number is about a
third of the number actually needed.
The last legislature appropriated ST.
500 for the mine rescue department,
but, it is claimed, this amount scarce
ly covered the initial cost of conduct
ing the work and the purchase of a
small amount of equipment.
A bill in the legislature by Senator
J. W. Montee and one by DR.. A. C.
Graves in the house, ask an appro-
priation OF $38,500 for maintenance
and new equipment for the mine res
cue department Another bill asks
for $4,000 with which to erect a mine
rescue station on the grounds of the
state normal school at Pittsburg.
Through lack of appropriation by the
last legislature, it is claimed that the
work Of instructing men in first aid
work has been badly handicapped,
but, mostly without funds, Ill men
were given instruction during the past
two years.
