with less than fifteen percent of the

to do so without waiting a day" said
Collector of Internal Revenue James
NJ. Cathcart, today, in speaking of the
returns received. II realize that the
business man who has to make out a
corporation return with perhaps a
large payment to accompany same, has
waited until the last month so as to
have the use of the money as long
as possible; also, the salaried man.
who has TO pay income tax. was wait
ing for mis- February salary from which
to pay his tax; then others have been
waiting for various reasons. to file
! their return"
II want to suggest to the foregoing
classes, that you submit your return
at the earliest possible date, for the
return may contain an easily detected
error which the deputy may catch
upon examination, which would cause
you to rewrite same, thus taking time
! and before you are ready again the
! time limit has expired and you are
penalized for delinquency I do not
want to see anyone penaliZed, and as
| it viii be a physical impossibility for
any kind of an examination by the re-
ceiving deputies for each of the un-
! filed 10000 returns, vet to be- received
| those who do submit same without
delay may possibly be saved money
and time. and that is why I am giving
you this information.
| Il fully appreciate the fact that the
field work has not yet been completed
and will not be until the last week
but as information bureaus have been
open during the entire time at four
widely divergent and larger cities of
the state, and majority of the coun-
ties have already been visited by
deputy collectors, 1 want to acquaint
the income tax payer with the facts so
that if he is delinquent it will be en-

about $50 persons were killed. II was
asserted that these included many
small children, but inquiries have only
been able to establish the death of
one boy under 10 and four under Is.
Martial law was proclaimed at Am
ritsar on April Is. and its administra
ton seems to have provoked a series
of complaints, against which the Pun
jab government has found it neces-
sary TO defend itself
The first charge is that relating to
the Kucha Tawarian, a street in which
Miss Sherwood, an English woman
doctor. was nearly beaten to death bv
Infatuated natives. The general officer
commanding the British troops in Am
ritsar closed the street TO public traf-
fic placing picket at each end and
ordered that anyone passing it would
have to do so on his hands and knees.
II was clearly understood by every
one that it did not apply 10 women.
The order was actually in force be-
tween April 10 and "A. and in al
about fifty persons complied with the
directions to go through on all-fours.
The sergeant in charge of the picket
subsequently stated that one man
crawled through three times, and had
to be stopped from giving further ex-
hibitions.
A number of triangles (for flogging)
We're erected in the city and % men

men who were flogged in the street
in which Miss Sherwood was assaulted.
These men We're implicated in the at
tack on Miss Sherwood. Others were
whipped at area headquarters, at the
police or in private,
The major charges arising out of
the disorder were tried by the Martial
