KANSAS DOING WELL.
But There's Still Chance For I'm,
provement in Tax Receipts.

While Kansas merchants In gen
eral are making an excellent show
ing In their returns to the govern
ment Of the war tax on their sales.
there is plenty of grounds for i'm
provement, according to Internal
Revenue Collector Pepperell, in
charge Of the Kansas district. Forty
five filed men are now engaged In
checking up the merchants war tax
In the larger cities Of the state.
1.-The man who received a single
cent as war tax and does not turn
1t over to the government Is an en-
bezzler." said Collector Pepperell
and there is surprising large num-
ber Of embezzlers among mer-
chants"
A Kansas merchant recently es-
caped prosecution under an embez-
lement charge by confessing to the
collector that he had been keeping
two sets Of books In order to evade
payment Of his full share Of war tax
on goods sold.
"Twenty-five per cent Of those de.
linquent In paying the luxury war
taxes which they have collected from !,
their customers when they sold the
goods, are purposely embezzlers from
the United States government" con.
tinued the collector. Seventy five
per cent Of the delinQuents do not
seem to know the law.
But despite all this, Kansas record
rs compared with that Of other
states, ranks high. The latest gov
'rnment statistics show Kansas right
It the top Of the list-either first or
'econd in the rating based on the
mount the states are expected to
urn in"
Reveue agents still are checking
lp revenue taxes at soda fountains
lere.

q. q. Huffman Has Returned From
Wichita This Mornuing.

Oliver Andrews, son law of G
G.. Huffman, Is In serious condi
tion as the. result Of his wounds re-
ceived at Wichita Tuesday when he
was mistaken for another man and
shot but has a chance for recovery
according to Mr. Huffman who re-
turned from there this morning.
A telephone message at noon from
the hospital said that Mr. Andrews
was conscious and recognized his
father who arrived this morning.
The nurse said. ''his condition Is ser
ious but he has hope for recovery. ="
w. c. ROsenstiel, Andrews as
sailant is held by the Wichita po-
lice and is said to express regret at
having wounded an innocent man.
Andrews was on his way back to
work from his lunch. The shoot
ing occurred in front Of ParrOtt
Brothers store, 127 North Market
street.
Only one shot was fired 1t struck
Andrews in the abdomen. but did not
knock him down. He walked into the
Hotel Lassen. DIR. Evans was sum
moned. The physician, after brief
examination of the wound. ordered
an ambulance to convey the wound
ed man to the st. Francis Hospital.
Then DR.. Evans said that Andrews
chance for living was about one in
ten.
Rosenstiel said that he mistook
Andrews for T.. A. Capen. IA travelling
man, who he declares is the cause
of separating him from his wife
This statement Is borne out by Mr..
who said that Rosenstiel
came up to him, called to him on the
street, and when he stopped, walked
up to within two or three feet and
said:
"You are the fellow l am looking
for."!
81 guess you must be mistaken, as
l do not remember ever to have seen /
YOU" Andrews replied.
At this. Rosenstiel said: "You are
the fellow who stole my wife" Then
he shot without removing the pistol
from his pocket.
Rosenstiel did not know until the
police had informed him. that it was i
not Capen he had shot.
Il know l wounded him. shot
once. wish had shot him six |
times" he told Detective Stuckey
who arrested him before he learned |
he had shot perfect stranger.
According to Rosensteil's state
ment to the police he found Capen
paying attention to Mrs. Rosensteil .
at the Hotel Lassen Inst September. !
At that time, he called Capen aside
and gave him licking" he said.
He thought all was well then, un
Ill in February, when his wife left
Wichita to visit relatives In New
York City. He said that Capen on
he same day Mrs. Rosenstiel left,
vent on the lnterurban to Newton
md there took the same train east
hat Mrs. Rosenstiel took.
The two stopped for two days at
Kansas City hotel, where they liv-
d as man and wife, he charged.
II have thought about this thing
light and day, and finally l decided
o end it by getting him out Of the
vay." Rosenstiel told the police. II I
