FAMOUS BANDIT
 PAR0LED FROM
 OKLAHOMA PEN
Henry Starr, Daring Leader
 Of Once Conspicuous Band Gets Freedom.

Oklahoma City, Okla., March IT, Henry Starr, bank robber and bandit, arrived in Oklahoma City today, pa- roled from the state penitentiary at McAlester by Governor Robertson.
 The parole was taken to Starr by William Tilghmah, former United States Marshal, and Starr's wife and 15 year old son, who have worked un- tiringly for h.s liberty.
 Starr has been in prison since 1915, when he was captured after series sas, and Arkansas that for boldness surpassed any of the many crimes at tributed to Jesse James.
 The capture of the bandit occurred at Stroud, Oklahoma in March, when the bank robber Paul Curry, 16 years old, shot Starr in the hip while the bank ro5ber and his gang were escap- ing after robbing bank
 Was Promised Parole.
 Starr pleaded guilty and was sen- tenced to 20 years in prison, with the agreement, Governor Robertson said, today, that he would be paroled in five years. The parole, the Governor expained in answer to many protests today, merely carrying out the terms of the trial
 Starr's robberies were daylight bank raids and for months he and his gang seemed to lead charmed lives.
 Before coming to Oklahoma, Starr served one term in the Ohio state penitentiary. He was sentenced for life term for robbing bank but was pardoned by President Mckinley and restored to citizenship by Presi- dent Roosevelt. He iS highly edu- cated Cherokee Indian and his rela- tives are said to be wealthy. Starr IS AS years old.
 "Pm through" he said today, eff for no other reason than know the game l can't ,be beaten. I'm going to prove to my son that I can go straight"
 Recalls Capture. Persons familiar with the case were recalling tonight the circum' stances surrounding the final cap. ture of Starr. The bandit and his men had robbed the bank of Strouc and were riding away when the bull let fired by the youth, Curry, from g short barrelled rifle, struck Starr 1T the hip and brought him down. l Curry had watched the bandits en | ter the bank and ran into butcher shop where he obtained a gun usec for killing hogs. As Starr fell, Cur ry shouted "Throw away you gun ol I'll kill you," Starr cast the weapon from his hands. In skirmish witt the townspeoples, Louis Estes, member of the gang, was wounded 1 but with the others escaped.
 It was his for son that he staged the robbery, which resulted so disas (Continued on page four)

RELATED INCOME TAX RETURNS MAY
 BE SUBMITTED
Sworn Statement of Delin- quency Necessary To
 Avoid Penalty.

Washington, Mar 17.-To avoid the penalty of 25 per cent in addi- tion to the regular tax, persons who failed to file income tax returns Saturday may now submit belated returns with sworn statement of the reason for delinquency. Without this, the penalty will be imposed.
 These policies, announced today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper are intended to grant a degree of leniency to those who for legiti- mate reason failed to file their re- turns when they were due. By law, however, the installment payment privilege is removed from all fail ing to make payments on time and the internal revenue bureeau has no authority to change this provision. A revenue bureeau statement in explan- ation follows:
 Will Accept Delinquents.
 Revenue collectors will accept all delinquent returns presented after march 18th an ddeposit any payment made herewith. Under law failure to make first payment by March 18th automatically makes the whole tax payable immediately. Taxpayers fil- ing income returns subsequent to March 10th therefore must pay in full but if the taxpayers submits a partial payment he will be notified of the balance due later in the regu- lar procedure of listing and sending notices. In reference to the penalty of 25 per cent additional of the tax to delinquents the policy will be to proceed sympathetically in accord ance with the regulations permitting the taxpayer if he desires to fill an affidavit within ten days explaining the cause of delinquency"
 The statement was taken to indi- cate that persons who paid their taxes later than Saturday may have as much as 60 days in which to pay the remaining three quarters. Use Own Discretion.
 Revenue collectors have been in- structed to use their own discretion in determining what constitutes a reasonable cause for failure to make returns or payments on time.
 lin some cities according to re- ports reaching Commissioner Roper today, collectors offices were unable to accomodate the last hour rush o1 of applicants and these returned to- day to file reutns in person and make payments. In some of these cases ' it is possible that the requirement that they pay all installments on de mand may not be enforced.
 Reports today showed that hun dreds of thousands of small taxpay CTS paid their entire taxes Saturday and failed to take advantage of tht installment privilege.

BREWERS
 WILL SELL BEER
 DESPITE RULING
Council Advises Sale Will Not Be Contrary To
 the Law.

New York March 1.-The Lager Beer Breker's Board of Trade New York, representing AZ brewing con- cerns in New York and New Jersey, announced today that in advice of counsel, it's members woud resume at once sale of beer containing 3-4 per cent aichoholic contents.
 This was forbidden by ruling of the Internal Revenue Department which interpreted President Wilson's proclamation effective December 1st last.
 Upon representation by the board to Elihu Root and William D.Guthrie counsel for the organization that beer of the alcoholic strength specified was not intOxication, the attorney advised the organzation today that sale of the two and three1fourth per cent pro- duct would not be contrary to law.
 Acted Without Authority.
 The opinion held that the internal revenue department had acted with out authority in decreeing that sale 'of beer containing more than one-half of ono per cent of alcholOl was con- trary to the presidents proclamation forbidding the use of foodstuffs in brewed products except those which were non-toxicating.
 The brewers action anticipating en- forcement May 1st, next, of the regu- lation limiting use of cereals to mon intoxicants" containing Cne-half of one per cent of alchohol, was taken under the internal revenue rule, un- til the date, manufacture of 3-4 per cent beer, but requiring that the pro- duct be de-alcholized to one per hali of one per cent before being shipped for sale from the breweries As the brewers have been making a 3-4 pei cent brew since December 1st when the anto-brewing clause of the food conservation law went into force, nc change in manufacturing methods will be necessary, it was stated, to carry out the plan decided upon.
 Assuming that the government 'may summarily attempt or threater tn enforce" the revenue departments interpretation, Mesrs. Root and Guth rie advised the brewers in this even that suit in equity be brought "to en 1 join any wrongful interference witt ,, your business or arrest of paur em 1 ployes"

NEW MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION
 IS ADVOCATED
Sir Eric Geddes Says Lives of Country Are Semi
 Paralyzed.

London, March 17--Sir Eric Deddes, minister without portfolio, in introducing in the house of commons today a bill to establish ministry of transportation, said that with the ex- ception of the street railways, the transportation system of the country financially was in emi-paralyzed state.
 Only the municipal street railways day there was loss of from to |3 per cent. Before the war canals were earning 1-2 per cent, while to- day they were worked at loss, and were heavily subsidized.
 Roads which cost the country twen- ty millions pounds year were earn ing practically np income; while har- bors and docks were earning per cent.
 If transportation was not to con- tinue to run at the cost of this tax payers, there must be real trans portation policy and the government had cometo the conclusion that some measure of unified control was nec- essary. There must. be somebody which should be responsible for the transportation policy. It was only the government, the minister declar- ed, which could take over the posi- l tiOn.
 Opposes Old System. | In the present conditions, the min- ister said, it would be criminal to permit the old system on competi- tion. This would be bad news for some interests, but it was cold bath, which the country must take. l The government must in some 1 form or other be given advice on the conditions under which labor worked and with regard to the di- cipline to be expected in trade unions. The state must step in at once and make possible an economic balance, which was impossible in the present condition of things.
 Naturalization of railways might care forthe present conditions, he did not know. He looked upon national ization as means to an end, which might have to be adopted finally.

BILL PROPOSES MILITARY
TRAINING FOR YOUTH
OF 70
Secretary Baker Estimates That Co.,
900 Would be Called to the
Colors Annually.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4.-Plans
for a permanent peace-time army OF
$4,000 officers and men and system
of universal military training. were
transmitted to Congress today by
Secretary Baker. .
The plans were embodied in bill
which represents the policy of the
War Department with respect to the
peace-time military establishment.
Maintenance of one field army with
war strength of 100000 men is
proposed in the bill establishing a
permanent military policy.
Under the measure all special SER
vices built up during the war would
be maintained as separate branches
except the Chemical Warfare Ser
vice, which would be merged with
the Engineers Corps.
Three months militia training for
youths of 10 would be made compul
sorry and promotion of officers by
seniority would be abolished, Secre-
tary Baker said the war had shown
this system of promotion to be de-
fective. 49,.
Under the armys plan, youths
would be subject to military service
for two years after completing the
course of military training, and in
the event of war the selective act in
force during the great war would be-
come operative.
The plan for registering youths of
10 years is the same, with slight mod
ifications, as applied during the war
under the selective service act. The
bill provides for the appointment of
local and appeal boards, compensa-
ton at the rate of $40 for every day
of actual service by board officials be-
ing rescribed.
Exemption from training would be
given only to members of the regu-
lar army and navy, honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors and
members of the coast guard, mariners
actually employed in sea service and |
persons permanently physically, |
or morally unfit for any
service whatever"

Field Searchlight On
5000 Mile Mobility Test

Ths recently completed 5000 mile
journey OF the three-ton searchl ght
equipment from Lynn, Mass. 70
Carlstron Field, Fla. and Nreturn, is
a remarkable new record for motor
transportation.
Mounted on a Cadillac chassis, the
great searchlight was carried over
every possible form OF trail and road
way. Streams and swamps which
seemed impossible were either ford
ed or bridged. The overall height Of
the unit, eleven feet. made the clear
snce a matter OF inches only, where
low bridges were encountered.
The weight OF car and equipment
300 pounds, represented a ton and
half overload. which the Cadillac
was not designed to carry. No signs
of weakness developed In the chassis
and upon its return to Lynn. Mass.
il was disassemhled under the eyes
OF General Electric and Cadillac men
and zach part was carefully in
spected.
The engine also WAS found in first
class condition at the end Of the long
trip.
The searchIiGht Itself was in work
ing order throughout the journey.
and after its arrival at Carlstrom
Field it was Immediately available
for every military purpose The
searchlight was developed by the
General Electric Company.
