 Act.

When Mrs. Arpad Ludvinsky, of 359 HubbeI1 avenue looked out of her window about o'clock this morning she noticed a woman descend from the railroad embankment near Tin bridge, and start to disrobe on the shore of Ash creek. Knowing that the middle of February is no time for a person to go in swimming, Mrs. Ludvinsky rushed outdoors and was just in time to see the strange woman, dressed only in a night gown, wade into the icy water of the creek.
 Mrs. Ludvinsky called for the wo- man to return to dry land, and she did so- She was then taken to the Ludvinsky residence, and Mrs Lud- vinsky notified Patrolman P. J. Tier ney of the woman's strange action The officer summoned the Emergency hospital ambulance and the woman was taken to the hospital.

To Adopt
 Report. Oll ESch Bill
Want Legislation on Statute Books Before
 March l. LITTLE OPPOSITION HAS DEVELOPED

Washington, Feb. 12, (By the A. P)-While some opposition to the railroad bill as finally agreed upon in conference has developed, Senate and House leaders predicted today that the conference report on the measure would be promptly adopted so that the-legislation would be on the statute books before the roads are returned to private control March 1.
 The final draft of the conference report is being made and it will be presented to the Senate Saturday or Monday. The house expects to take the report up Monday or Tuesday al the latest, and leaders said today fl would be disposed of in two days.
 Chairman Esch, of the House Inter state Commerce Committee, one o1 the authors of the railroad bill, and other leaders expressed confidenc that opposition by House Democrat: would not delay passage of the meas. ure. They based their prediction upor the fact that the bill as rewritten ir conference is substantially the sam. as the Esch bill recently passed by the House. Senate provisions to whicl there was objection, including th' anti-strike section, creation of a trans portation board, and compulsory con solidations, were stricken out in con ference. The essential addition to tn House bill was the fixing of guaran teed return of 5 1-2 per cent.

 Holland.

The Hague, Feb. 12.---It is declared in reliable quarters that former Crown Prince Frtdericll William was serious in making his offer to the entente governments to surrender himself iL place of Germans on the extradition list and that he is inclined to believe that the allies will accept his plan. It is learned here that former Emperor William is strong in his disapprovaa of his sons action.
 Nothing was known at Wieringen
 of the ex-crown princes intentions
 before his messages to the heads ot the various governments had been l dispatched, and the only notification given by Frederick William was one to the Dutch government when he sent the communications abroad. Newspaper reports that the grand duke of Hesse and his son and like l wise seven German generals named | on the extradition list had escaped l into Holland are discredited at the Dutch foreign office. That office de- 1 clared it did not consider it possible I for the men named to cross into | Dutch territory.

BOUGHT GOODS BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR STOCK
Receiver For Syndicate Brings Suit Against
 Katz.

Because he refused to pay for $500 worth of stock in the Bridgeport Grocers' Syndicate after the concern went into the hands of a receiver, David Katz, a West End grocer. had to appear in the common pleas court this morning to defend a suit brought against him by Attorney Irving Elson, receiver for the syndicate.
 It is claimed that when the syndi- cate was in the process of organiza- ton Katz subscribed for 1000 worth of stock. He paid s400 but when the concern became involved in financial difficulties Katz declined to pay the balance. Testimony was offered this morning to show that stockh olders were allowed to buy groceries at low prices and that Katz had purchased about $500 worth of goods from the concern which he afterward sold in his store. Judge Walsh reserved de. cision in the case.

 In making the announcement, Sec retary Tumulty said it had not beer decided which of the brotherhoods representatives would be invited ta the White House. This, he added will be left to MT. Hines.
 The union leaders will see tha

WARNS PEOPLE PROSPERITY MAY
 BE ARTIFICIAL
No Country Can Be Enrich ed By Increasing Prices
 of Products.

Washington, Feb. Warning that the prosperity and activity indicated by banking figures may become arti- ficial and deceptive was given today by John Skelton Williams in his an- nua1 report as comptroller of the cur rency.
 Remarking that in 1919 there was not a national bank failure involving loss to depositors and that the bank ing power of the country has increased 900 per cent. in the last 30 years, MT. Williams added:
 "A large volume of money canno; mean increase of real wealth while there is a decrease of production and the accumulation and movement o1 securities and currency represent aIb- normally inflated values put on df- unfinished supplies of essentials. l '1t is clear that no country can be enriched by merely increasing prices l of products produced and consum ec | by our own people. We might pros- 1 per for the moment. If we could sell our products abroad at the higher prices and take payment in gold or ir goods at normal prices; but we gain nothing when we sell and buy at cor responding abnormal prices
 All the gold in the world, aside frou $3, ,135, 900, 900 held by this country, Wal
 estimated by the comptroller at $6, Oo0, 900 GOO or only about 4 per cent. O the credit balance of this country il the last years. For that reason h.
 urged that this country should adop a policy of reasonable help and en
 couragement toward debtor countrie

WORKERS CAN FILE RETURNS IN TWO WAYS
Attention Called to Fact Automobile is Asset Not
 Expense.

According to information given out at the office of Collector of Internal Revenue J. J. Walsh in Hartford -to- day, regarding the income tax, in- comes of less than $5000 are to be turned in on Form 1040-A; incomes of more than $5O00 on Form 104O, corporation incomes on Form 1120, and partnership incomes on Form 1O55
 As regards professional workers who receive other than cash for their services it Is held that a fair market value shall determine the basis for their income tax. Professional work CTS who are employed by the state, city town in 8 professional capa- clay may deduct the amount of sal ary they receive for this from their taxable income. Any other income however Is subject to the income tax law.
 Professional workers may file re- turn on either of two plans, cash basis or accrual system. The cash basis is for those who do not keep a regular set of books or keep them in a haphazard manner. For instance when a doctor pays several visits to g i patient and receives but part of his bill and merely notes the amount oi ] CdSn TeC9lV6u ne IS SuDJeCC to Ine i cash basis of figuring up his income l The physician, however, who after /, several visits charges up the patien with the whole amount of the bil | whether he receives 1t all at once ol not, keeps books on the accrual sys | tenn and is entitled to charge of | against his taxable income, losses b! bad debts. Those who keep solallet
 leash basis" system are not allowed
 to charge off bad debts for the reason
 that they do not show them on thei
 books.
 Attention Is also called to the fac
 that the purchase of new automo
 bile is not an expense but an asset Depreciation may, however, b charged off against a machine eac year. Cost of supplies, repair of a
 automobile used for professional worl
 light telephone and office expense for professional work may be charge
 off against taxable income
 Where a professional man has a office and maintains home where h ] also sees some patrons, he canno charge off rent on the home offic against his income. Where his sol office, however, is in his home a pro portionate part of the rent for tn home may be charged off for off1c
 rent.
