London. March 1.-THE British
government has decided to release
the Irish political prisoners. Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer Bonar-Law
announced In the house OF commons
today.
The action is regarded by poilti-
cal observers as a dexterous coup
on the part of the British govern
mont since 1t deprives the Slim
Feiners Of one of their chief weap-
ons in the bitter agitation they have
carried on since the conviction of
the Irish parliament. The prison
ers include some of the men chosen
by that body to represent the re-
public of Ireland at the peace con-
ference.
Both viscount French. the gov
ernor-general. and. Chief Secretary
Edward Short have been favoring
the release of the Irish prisoners as
disarming and pacifying move.
but heretofore the British govern
mcnt has been adamaut.
Professor De Valera. one of the
prisoners, and a peace delegate"
who recently escaped mysteriously
from Lincoln prison. is now expect
ed to emerge from his hiding.

BE Returned Separately.

Washington. March s,---A lcophnit
whereby families of large income may
avoid higher rates OF taxation by de-
claring their incomes separately. was
discovered In the new revenue Law
today. Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper issued ruling which
gives to husbands and wives having
separate incomes the advantage o.
the lower rates, as follows:
I'm figuring up their income
taxes this year. a husband and
wife who have income from sep
arate sources NAV each apply the
lower rate, namely 6 per cent.
TO the first $4,000 of income sub
ject to normal tax The higher
rate of 10 per cent applies to the
balance. In each case.
The net income of husband and
wife have always been consid-
cred separately when figuring the
surtax. Under the new revenue
law. the normal tax rates. as well
as the surtax rates. are applicable
separately to the net income OF
each Individual"
