News and Comment About Iowa People and Events

DBS MONIES, Sept. 5-On the 9th
day of May 1919, the post Office at
Osceola was robbed. Among the sew
eral valuables carried off was an en-
velope containing an army discharge
and government check for $4,000
belonging to Guy H. Smith, son OF
Harry A. Smith, of Des Moines, which
by mistake had been mailed by the
government to Guy Smiths birthplace
instead of his post office address In
.Des Moines. The contents Of the en-
velope proved Of double value to the
culprit who not only cashed the check
but assumed the name OF the honor
ably discharged soldier whose Gre
dentials were in his possession. AS
far as known the robber had clear
sailing for few days, but he could
not withstand the prosperity that had
come to him. He was arrested on the
charge of robbing a soldier by the
name of Copeland at Walnut, Iowa.
To this offense he pleaded guilty and
from the papers found in his posses.
sion, including discharge, it is assum-
ed that he is the man who robbed the
Osceola post office. With this clue
in the hands of the post office authori-
ties, Harry A. Smith, Of Des Moines,
was located and likewise his sons
address was made known. To make
matters more complicated the descrip-
ton of the thief resembled somewhat
those of the real Guy H. Smith who
is resident of the state Of Washing

out by the government in an effort to
locate D. J. Quinler. alias Guy H.
Smith, and Andrew Wright, somewhat
resembled the real Guy Smith.

Internal Revenue Collector Louis
Murphy OF Dubuque has made rul-
ing based upon the large number OF
land sales in recent months, which
provides that all the increase in value
from March 1, 1913, to the time of the
| sale, or from the time of the purchase
if it was bought after March 1, 1913,
to the time of the sale, shall be con-
sidered as income OF the year when
the sale was made, and is subject to
income tax The fact that the proceeds
Of the land are re-invested Immediate
ly in other land makes no difference.
The difference between the fair and
reasonable value at the beginning Of
the term and the fair and reasonable
value when the land was sold, less any
improvements which may have been
built on the land in the meantime is
the profit upon which tax must be
paid.

In view Of the fact that the laws Of
Iowa provide that among many other
exemptions accorded soldier, di-
vorce may not be granted from him
during the time he is in the army
service. In behalf of his client At
torney Hedrick will urge that the de-
fendant is not now, nor ever was in
the army service by his own voluntary
motion and that his case in no wise
comes under the Iowa statute provid-
ing the exemptions in question for the
patriotic soldiers. The case has in it
a technical point of the law and the
results of the hearing in the next term
of court is being awaited with more
than ordinary interest: Is William A.
Robinson in the army service or not
is the question.
Going courting in an airplane Is

Ceylon, Minn., to pick up a young
woman and flew to the dancing pavil-
ion at Interlaken Lake. After waltz
ing to the strains of "Home Sweet

left in the plane for their respective

Washington, July 17.-While
President Wilson today apparently
sought to get the upper hand in con-
gress. through winning leaders to MS
side by means of personal conferences
the administration influence was fac
ing bitter attack in both the SEN
ate and the house.
The league of nations was before
the senate, with Senator Sherman OF
Illinois and other opposition men,
bers ready to make verbal assaults
on it.
In the house, republicans were pre-
pared to defy Wilson by again passing
the daylight saving repeal law over
his veto.
Wilson's conferences with the first
of fifteen senators on the treaty and
league Of nations were to begin to-
day.
Result Uncertain.
Pending receipt Of the invitations
senators reserved their opinions as tc
the move, although republican lead
ers opposing the treaty in it's present
form did not hesitate to predict that
the White House talks would fail tt
lessen the opposition to unreserved
ratification. Democratic senators
supporting the president, however
declared his course undoubtedly
meant that he had convincing argu'
ments to offer.
