H|TSBUSNESS.
Losses Caused by Failure Of
Congress to Extend Tax
Act Clause.

Business men are up in arms over
q curious omission in the income
tax law as it was revised at the re-
cent session Of Congress.
In the original act provision was
made for the protection OF business
interests against losses that might
be caused by government pricercon.
troll or by sudden fluctuations In In
ventory values, etc, with the inser-
tion OF a clause that all "the losses
caused in this way. and determined
to the satisfaction OF the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue. could be
deducted from the income tax re-
turns OF the previous year
This proviso was placed In the law
by Congress because the Legislators
believed that the postwar deflation
and the heavy drop In prices would
come in the twelve months following
the armistice. For that reason the
clause expired on January OF the
present year and was not included In
the taxation measure for the curren;
fiscal year. The Finance Committee
apparently took II for granted that
the provision was no longer neces-
sary.
The real slump in prices has taken
place in the past eight months how
ever, and at the very time when the
met losses" section OF the income
tax law Is 80 vitality necessary to
business men II is not on the statute
books
Inventory values have been reduced
so materially since the price drop
opened that hundreds of millions OF dol
lars in tax returns could be deducted
from the quarterly instalments paid
by business interests IL II were now
in effect.
II is obvious from ell the testimony
on the subject that the original met
losses" clause was intended to pro-
vide for such a postwar situation as
has occurred since the Federal Re
serve Board began Tightening the
purse strings OF credit.

ing police and detectives for three
months George NJ. Terry, colored,
accused of attacking and threaten
ing the life of Mrs. Sadie Sibley, An
napolis avenue. Mount Winans, is
on trial in Criminal Court. Con-
viction means a penalty of death.
Angered because Sibiey had been
on the draft board that had drafted

robbed Sibley's house and then sent
note stating that more visits would
be made. Nearly a month afteu&the
warning, Terry made another visit
when Sibley had left the house, and
attacked his wife. Fearing for the
safety of her daughter who was
asleep, Mrs. Sibley kept quiet while
Terry brutality attacked her and
flung her against a table where she
was found later by her daughter.
Going to Grafton, Va, Terry is
said to have written more letters
telling that he would cut the throat
of the draft workers wife. Return
ing to Baltimore. he was arrested on
suspicion, and later identified by
Mrs. Sibley.

WOOD
FUND STOPPED
Marine Corps Support Of
Memorial Withdrawn When
Scrutiny Is Refused.

The United States Marine Corps
has withdrawn Its official sanction
and SUPPORT of privately-con-
Quoted enterprise TO raise a huge
fund for the erection OF a memorial
In France to the Marines killed in
action at Belleau Wood. 1t was
learned yesterday.
This announcement was coupled
with the statement that Mrs. e. E.
Thompson, of Washington. is no
longer officially empowered to raise
funds for the memorial. Mrs.
Thompson, II is understood, has
been making a tour of Marine Corps
posts and of large cities to put over
drive to secure s350.0o0 with which
to erect the Belleau Wood memorial.
As a result of the clash over rais-
ing this sum, Maj. Gen. John A. Le-
jeune. commandant Of the Marine
Corps. has written local post of
the American Legion Withdrawing
his endorsement.
This action was taken following
vigorous disapproval expressed by
officers of the Marine Corps of at
TENTS to "commercialize" the death
of the men killed in the Belleau
Wood action.
Officers of the Marine Corps said
today that repeated efforts to se-
cure from Mrs. Thompson an analy-
sis of her accounts had been un-
, availing. 1t was said that she had
carried on her trips a locked box,
in which subscriptions to the fund
had been deposited. The box was
taken to various Marine Corps pos,s
and later was sent to the Atlantic
fleet, to be passed aroung amongst
the officers and men for donations.
The original plan organized by
Mrs. Thompson was to raise a $4,000
fund for the erection of a simple
bronze tablet in Belleau Wood.
Later, It is said. this amount was
increased to $35o.000. 1t was this
unauthorized increase which brought
the action of Gen. Lejeune and
other officers. The Marine Corps,
It was learned, will erect its own
official memorial to its men who
made the supreme sacrifice in
France.
