Washington, Feb. 1.-Business de-

At some plants where considerable

for the country as a whole. >
Prices in many lines have now gone
lower than the level which had been
established at the close of 1920.
Banking conditions have material

'There are signs of a distinct i'm

Ebert Refuses to Accept His Res
iqnation--Germans Look to v.
S. to Avert Catastrophe.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-The 22S,000,0 200
gold mark bomb which the supreme
council in Paris fired at Berlin set
the German cabinet rocking when it
landed. 1t is reliably stated from par
liamentary sources that when Foreign
Minister Simons finished reading the
translated document he left the for
eign office and went to the office of
the President and expressed to PreSi-
dent Ebert his warmest desire to re-
tire from his post.
President Ebert, it Is said, declined
to consider the wish of Minister Sim
ons. He prevailed upon his patriot
ism in the interest of Germany to de-
fer any such action until more COM
prehensive view can be had of the
critical situation created by the al
lied premiers..
Refused to Sign Treaty.
Simons, who as secretary general of
the German peace delegation headed
by Rantzau at Versailles refused to
sign the treaty and resigned with
Rantzau at the time, later took up
the titanic task as foreign minister to
carry out the very treaty he had re-
fused to sign.
The cabinet convened for a short
session at noon. The meeting was re-
garded as so important that Ebert
himself attended, which is very I'M
usual for the President.
At four o'clock the cabinet entered
second session. Word then came out
of the cabinet room that the question
of the entire cabinet resigning was
touched upon, but no decision was
taken.
Minister Simons presented the al
lied note to the cabinet and dwelt at
length upon its import. He made
clear to the cabinet the appalling sig
nificance of it's contents.
After long debate as to what Ger
many's attitude should be on the note
an agreement was finally arrived at
to delay action until Minister Simons

ernment's views

Turns to United States.
The government is today in contact
with specialists in financial ana in
dustrial circles all of whom are said
to have reported that the allied de-
mands are beyond all possibility of
compliance.
In WelhelSmstrasse the very small
pro-American group which has hither-
to been the butt of the much larger
pro-British section. is having its in
ming today.
Although America is still at war
with Germany and England and
France have been at peace with her
for almost two years. it is to the
United States that Germany is again
turning. America must provide the
restraining influence upon Paris and
London that will avert the economic
catastrophe in Germany and Europe.

IS HARVEY HUNT stated, his
first suspicion in the case of
the Cat Prints" vas that the marks
on Turmyne's table really had been
left by Red Schotter's pet, and that
Schotter was the yegg who had
cracked Turmyne's safe.
Then, as stated, the prints did not
seem to be the right distance apart,
and in back of one of them was a
straight line which shaded off toward
the front of the print, The only
explanation that Harvey Hunt could
find for this was that they were
made with rubber stamps and not
by the animal itself. The straight
line was the edge of one of these
stamps carelessly pressed down.
Clearly the man who had cracked
the safe made the marks for the
purpose of throwing suspicion on
Red Schotter and turning attention
away from the manner in which he
had handled the safe. The work
of individual crooks is often recog-
mixed by detectives.
This was why Harvey Hunt called
on Red Schotter. As Mangold was
the only person who had visited
Schotter, the obvious deduction was

Careful Check MADE.
The Bureau Of Internal Revenue
has at its command innumerable ave
nues OF information for checking up
delinQuents. One Of these is the
information at source" provision
Of the revenue act, requiring re-
ports Of payments to others Of
$1,000 or more during the calendar
year 1920. These reports are care
fully checked with the individual
return of the taxpayer to whom
such payments were made.
The Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue and his assistants, whose
duty it is to see that the internal
revenue laws are properly complied
with, have authority to examine all
books, papers, and memoranda OF
taxpayers. and to examine under
oath persons having information
in the premises. AS soon as prac-
tiCable after March Is there is post
ed in the Offices OF collectors of in
ternaI revenue, branch Offices. and
postoffices a list giving the names
and addresses of persons in the COL
lectors districts who have filed re-
turns.
Prompt Action Urged.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
urges taxpayers not to delay in the
filing of their returns. and to pay
the tax, if possible. in full at the
date of filing. or in as few INSTALL
ments as possible. BY far the
greater number of taxpayers whose
income for the year 1919 was less
than $1,000 paid in full when filing
their returns in 1920 The number
OF such taxpayers was approximate
ly 100000, while only 10000 took
advantage Of the installment plan.
The number Of taxpayers with in
comes in excess of $1,000 paying in
full at the time OF filing their re-
turns in 1920 was approximately
$4,000, and the number making
payments under the instaIlment
plan was approximately $4,000
Payment of the tax may be made
by cash, money order or check.
Checks and money orders should be
made out to collector Of Internal
Revenue" The bureau advises that
payment be made by either check or
money order, as this method saves
a trip to the collectors office and
insures avoidance of congestion
during the closing days Of the tax
filing period.
