Difficulties Of Supply Have HeI ped To Stop
 BOIShevik Advance
ATTACHMENTS REPORTED TO HAVE REACHED CHINESE FRONTIER SOUTHEAST OF BI4AISK ION EASTERN FRONT REDS ADVANCE
 IS CHECKED

London, Jan. 29-DincultieS of supply have probably stopped the ad- vance of Bolshevik troops along the Trans-Siberien railroad west of Irk- utsk, according to advices to the war office. All resistance to the Soviet army seems to have disappeared. Bol- shevik attachments are reported to have reached the Chinese frontier southeast of Blaisk.
 An outline of the difficulties en- countered by allied missions is given F1n reports received here. Arnored trains under the command of Gen eral Semenoff bombarded Irkutsk on December 30, at which time the city was partially in possession of in- surgents. Then Semenoff troops at- tackled and captured the railway station, but were later forced to re- tire. The allied missions were in the station but were unable to induce Semenoff's men to postpone their at- tack. although they violated the agreement that the railroad should De considered neutral territory. Ere Quent breakages in the line prevent ed the departure of the missions TOT some days, but they were assured o1 their safety by the ultimate arriVa. of a. Japanese battalion which occu- pied the station.
 Representatives of Admiral kol- chak's government asked on Jan that the Allied officers mediate Wlth the insurgents in an effort to secure an armistice of 36 hours. This was done by members of the mission, who at the same time announced that AL lied troops would not intervene in the

 TENTATIVE RETURN
 SAYS COLLECTOR

Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh made the announce ment today that the acceptance or tentative returns and the use of forms 1O4O-T and 1031-T will not be per mitted in the case of taxpayers filing or for a fiscal year ending in 1920, returns for the calendar year of 1919 except in extraordinary cases upon the specific authorization of the com missioner.

 In cases of sickness or absence, Col lector Walsh has authority to grant extensions of time not to exceed 30 day.
 In meritorious cases the collector may extend the privilege of filing tentative income and profits tax re- turns on forms 1O40-T and 1031-T to taxpayers reporting a fiscal year end ing prior to Dec. S1, 1919, on condi- tion that one-fourth the estimated q tax is paid at the time of filing such returns. In these cases a reasonable extension of time for filing the com pleted returns will be granted by the Commissioner upon request of the taxpayerN showing the reasons why completed returns could not be filed on time.

HAMBY KEEPS HIS NERVE TO
 LAST MINUTE

Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 30-The body of Gordon Fawcett Hamby, notorious murderer and bandit, who was cleo trocuted in Sing Sing prison late last night for the murder of two officials of a Brooklyn Savings bank in De- cember 1918, will be buried in a local cem etery today. No one claimed the body and the mystery surrounding his percentage, which he had studiously guarded, remained unsolved.
 An autopsy disclosed that the brain
 of the youthful criminal was "nor- maP' and well developed.
 Hamby maintained his composure
 to the last, smiling as he was strap
 ped to the chair and making a brief oral statement to the warden and
 witnesses just before life was snuff
 ed out.
 As he left the death house he call ed out to his companions Good bye, fellows! I always liked to try everything once."
 The murderer gave three letters to the warden, asking him to mail them and keep the addresses secret. Gordon Fawcett Hamby, the bandit ] who yesterday expiated his crimes in the death chair, was arrested in l Tacoma, Wash, last June under the name of Jay B. Allan" after killing a man there in revolver fight. He was later identified as one of the two robbers who, on Dec. 23, 1918, held up the East Brooklyn Savings bank and, after killing two of it's employees, escaped in an automobile with $1S,- l 900.
 Extradited to New York and tried l for this crime Hamby stood revealed
 as a self-confessed participant in the l robbery of 13 banks and two trains
 and many killings. He steadily re- 1 fused to tell anything about his fam ] fly. He said he preferred to be known as Allan and that he was born in 1893 in Alberta, Canada. He declared 1 his parents were dead and that he 1 had two brothers whom he had no: seen for five years. He said he was
 a college graduate and had specfaliz- l ed in psychology.
 1 After Hamby's conviction here, his attorney, against the prisoners wishes, appealed his case. He ob. ttained the appointment of a commis sion to determine the bandits sanity

 q was surprised the California po- lice did not get me-" he said, shortly after being brought East. ''Then in Tacoma I got in that political row with Bob Davis and killed him. Bob was a game fellow and I'm sorry shot him but was afraid he was going to get me. After that I was all ready to beat it to Shanghai, China, and now here I am.'
 "I expected to get $50.00O out of the Brooklyn 'job'," he conf1ded, "and was greatly disappointed at the lit tie we did get. This was because my partner did not carry out my instruc- tions. I had ordered him to jump
 over the rail the minute We entered the place but he was an amateur and
 wasted too much time. It took him
 about four minutes to pick up what
 money we did get when it should not have taken more than minute.'' "Who was your partner in the
 Brooklyn robbery?" he was asked. q don't care to say. I don't want to duplicate him. He is married and

AIR BILL GETS SETBACK

Washington, Jan. 50-Senator News Independent Air Department Bill suffered its first serious altera- ton in the Senate yesterday when the proposal to make the director of the service a Cabinet officer was eli- minated on the motion of Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah)- A second amendment by the Utah Senator, re- nucing the directors salary from S12,000 to $8,0oo a year failed of ac- ton for lack of a quorum
 Sharp opposition to the bill devel- oped during the debate. Senator Borah (Rep-, Idaho1 contended 1t would increase Air Service expendi- lures and Senator Gerry Dern, R. I.) asserted that it would foster red tape, while Chairman wadsHorth of the Military Committee, which re- ported the measure, argued that ii would increase efficiency and cut ex- penditure from s5o,o00,o0O to $6O,- OOO,oO0 a year on the air services as at present constituted.

 Latest reports seem to show thai relations between the new govern ment and the Czecho-S -Slovaks have become worse and that Bolsh evism appears to be gaining ground as a re- suit of the arrival of Red agents working in front of the Bolshevik army. Encounters between Semen. offs troops and Czech detachm ents are reported, and 1t is stated Admiral Kolchak and his staff have been in prison at Irkutsk.
 In south Russia the Bolshevih have eral Denikine. On the west half of the front the main effort of the Soviet troops appears to be directed south- ward against Crimea, and southwest ward against the Kherson-Nikolaieff Odessa area In the former sector they have reached the northern end of the tsthmus and captured Geni- chesk and Perekop, but further prog ress across the narrow and easily de- tended neck of land has been stayed mom entarily. In the latter area, the Reds have pushed forward down the railway toward Nikolaieff after occu. pying Elizabethgrad, but still are about 50 miles from Nikolaieff.
 On the eastern half of the front the threatening Red advance along the western shores of the Caspian Sea has been checked and thrown back. Tn the center, General Denikine's units have fallen back, but In the Don re- zion the anti Bo1sheviki are main taining their positions.
 All reports concur in saying tht Russian retreat is being carried ou in an orderly manner and that thu pursuing soviet cavalry is gaining ground only step by step and is losins severely. The fighting spirit of Gen eral Denikine's men has revived, it il said
