IN INCOME TAX FRAUD
Collision With Outgoing
Aliens Is Charged.

Paul Anderson. special agent OF the
Internal Revenue Service. charged
Yesterday that aliens have been get
ting their income taxes reduced prior
TO receiving passports by collision
with those In authority.
AS a result United States Commis-
sioner Hitchcock held Isidore Levy,
n deputy collector of internal reve-
nue.. and Liuggiero Caramoa, Levy's
brother-in-law. in $500 and 5000 ball,
respectively. for hearing October 81
on a charge Of deirauding the Gov
eminent.
Anderson told Commissioner Hitch
cock that the scheme was for some
outside man" TO keep I'm touch with
outgoing aliens and promise to get
their income taxes reduced for n fee.
The law requires the filing of an In
como tax return before passports are
issued
The specific complaint against the
two men yesterday was that on Oc-
tober 8 Caramba made tax-dodgine

whereby Patsnlos received a passport
on return calling for only ss4 when
the tax should have been much higher.

PAYS 10000 FOR LAND
ASSESSED AT $685., 900
Syndicate Picks Up Excep-
tiondl Bargain at Zerega Sale.

On n bid Of $50 900 made at the sale
OF the Augustus Zerega estate In the
Real Estate Exchange at IA vesey
street yesterday w. l.. Thompson. as
the representative OF a syndicate, Sc
cured ia acres of properly in the
Bronx. assessed by the city for taxa
ticn purposes at s5S5.00o. The prop
erty. offered at auction by Joseph P.
Day comprised the greater portion of
the peninsula known as Old Ferry
Point, lying between ThroGgs Neck
and Classon Point, at the foot of Ferry
avenue. and bounded by the East River
and Westchester and Bakers creeks
The assessment value placed on the
property is regarded by Mr. Day and
other experts familiar with realty
values in the neighborhood as highly
exorbitant. Nevertheless Mr.. Thomp-
sons purchase is considered one of the
most remarkable bargains ever picked
up In the real estate field. There Is
little doubt that the buying syndicate
will be able to dispose OF its new hold
ings for a sum well in excess OF the
knockdown figure.
Out of the bid Of 100000 there is to
be paid by the Zerega heirs approx
mately $4,000 for back taxes and as
sessments. Before the sale Auctioneer
Day announced that arrangements had
been made to allow up to 60 per cent.
of the purchase price to remain after
deducting taxes. &c. There were only
two other BIDS for the tract. Mr..
Thompson's opening offer of $4,000
and SIS, 900 increase by another bidder.
The property comprises upland and
waterfront and embraces the entire
peninsula with the exception of about
six acres owned by the Lorillard family
and now tenanted by the Morrisania
Yacht Club The property was acquired
by the elder Zerega in 1854, and the
stone and shingle house still standing
was occupied by the family as country
home until 1908.

CUBA APPEALS FOR
UNITED STATES AID
Officials Try to Work Out
Plan for Financial Assist
ance of Island.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.--Cuba has APP
pealed to the American Government for
aid in its present financial difficulties.
The appeal has been taken under con-
sideration by officials to see II some plan
OF assistance can be worked out.
The message from the Cuban Govern
ment was referred by the State Depart
ment to the Commerce and Treasury
departments, and IL was understood that
officials OF those Government agencies
were comforting with view to deter
mining what action, II any, to assist
Cuba could be taken. President Menocal
OF Cuba has suggested to the department
that American sugar refners cooperate
TO fix a price for the coming sugar crop
in Cuba.
HAVANA. Oct 14.--Efforts to find a
practical solution of Cuba's financial
difficulties continued to-day with no
definite plan decided upon. Opinion Is
general that steps must soon be taken
looking TO a modification of the mora
torlum decree. as banking operations are
virtually at standstill and commerce
and industry OF all kinds are beginning
to feel the effects of lack of available
funds.
Factories and sugar centrals have
already started TO reduce FORCES Decduse
OF inability to obtain payroll funds.
Fear is expressed that an INDEFINITE
continuation Of present conditions would
probably lead to general movement
in that direction.
Several millions of dollars consigned
to banking firms reached Havana to-
day and more Is said to be coming,
which in n measure has tended to re-
store the confidence of the public.
Government experts to-day began en-
animation of the books of the lnterna-
tlonal Bank of Cuba and the Banco
Espanol Bankers are hopeful that
banking institutions in the United States
VIII aid in restoring confidence In Cuba s
credit. while much is looked for from
President Menocars efforts to arrange
for the sale of the remnant Of the sugar
crop to the United States at a price. re-
ports say, of 10 cents a pound.
Certain bankers are said to be urg-
ing a bank Of emission for Cuba, where
the only paper money in circulation
would be in the form of United States
bills. but there is considerable opposition
to this plan

FISHER IN CUSTODY
 ON INSANITY PLEA
lBY United pressl ]


 Hamilton, Ont, Sept. IT. Mental telepathy was today of fered as the explanation of the means by which Edward Fish CT, arrested here this morning upon his arrival from Niagra Falls, was enabled to give warn ing of the explosion which yes terday shook New York's fin ancial district. Robert Pope, brother-in-law of Fisher, made the statement that it was by mental telephathy. He also had Fisher arrested upon a charge of insanity.
 Pope said that Fisher predict led the disaster three weeks ago land wrote friends in New York to leave the city.
 New York officials have been notified of Fishers arrest, and he probably will be taken there for examination by the secret service and private detectives.

FULL PROBE STARTED
 BY SECRET SERVICE
(By United Press)

Washington, Sept. 17.-All the forces of the secret service today con- verged on New York, to aid municipal authorities in tracking down those re- sponsible for yesterdays explosion. Chief William J. Flynn of the service was the first to leave for the metro polls, and was followed by the pick of federal operatives.
 It is generally held that the eY- plosion was the result of bomb plot. This theory is based upon the char acter of the explosion and the frag- mentary warning given officials some time ago that some such attempt would be made to institute a regin ot terror.
 The department of justice today en- tered the case by setting it's agents to checking up the list of radicals in all parts of the United Staes. The pro cess will eliminate the unlikely, anC will enable the secret service to bend its efforts toward the investigation and conviction of suspects.
