POSTMASTER AT
PUNTA CORDA Is
FACING TROUBLE
Government Inspectors Charge
Him With Shortage Of More
Than $4,000

Punta Gorda, Aug. S.-George ID.
Rhode, postmaster here for seven
wears. was dismissed Saturday night
following a report of postoffice in
spector disclosing an alleged short
age totaling $4,000. Arlie M. Hatch
was installed as acting postmaster.
upon order of the first assistant post
master general. Meanwhile the in
spector is continuing his investiga-
tion of the accounts of the Office to-
day, assisted by the acting postmaster
and the Office force here.
The alleged shortage covers pc
riod of year, according to the in
spector, who arrived from Tampa on
Wednesday, and who has been busy
on the books since. 1t is understood
a surety bond with the American
Surety Company. New York, will pro
tect the government fully.
The question of criminal action
rests entirely with the United States
attorney, according to the postoflice
inspector. and probably will await the
final untangling of the affairs of the
Office, which it is stated will take two
or three days longer. l7a -i
Rhode was unable to give a salts
factory explanation for the alleged
shortage, 1t was said, and street gos-
sip assigns theories that are unsup
ported by positive evidence.
Rhode has family here.

DISPUTE OVER A
HOG FARM RESULTS
In MURDER SUNDAY
Ira ]. Sims Of Midway Jailed
Charged With Killing Of
Burnell Kimpel

RumorS were current in Lakeland
Sunday afternoon that a man had
been shot at Plant City during the
morning. No details We're then avail
able but the Tampa Tribune prints
the following account Of the tragedy:
A dispute over shares in hog farm
resulted in the murder Sunday morn
ing of Burnell Kimpel, aged twenty
one years, and the failing of Ira j.
Sims, aged sixty-four years, charged
with the crime.
The shooting occurred between 10
o'clock and 10: 80 at the settlement of
midway. about three miles north of
Plant City.
The farm on which the Kimpels live,
it seems, at one time belonged to Mr.
Sims, who sold it to man named De-
Vane. John Kimpel, father of the
murdered youth, was raising hogs on
the. farm on shares for Mr.. Sims.
When Mr.. Sims came to the farm Sun
day, for n settlement, he had with
him a man named Neasmith and his
two sons. 1t is understood that Nea-
smith and his family were to replace
the Kimpels on the farm.
According TO the story oDtaneu Dy
the slieriff's office, there was dis
pute over the division of the shares
and harsh words arose. Young Kem-
pei, a hot-headed youth, walked to-
ward Mr. Sims, carrying number of
sticks in his hand. His air was threat
ening, it is said, and Mr.. Sims drew
his revolver, IA caliber weapon
loaded with bird shot, and fired. The
boy,- it is said, was only three feet
from him when the shot was fired and
the fragments landed in the hollow
of his neck.
Mr. Sims was brought to the Hills
boro county Jail at Tampa by Deputy
Sheriff J. W. Kirkland who immedi-
ately went back to the scene of the
shooting for further investigation.
Sims, in his story. declares that
young Kimpel besides having the
sticks in his hand, reached behind
him as though for a pistol. KimpePs
mother and sister were walking
through the orange grove at the time,
it is stated and were on the scene OF
the shooting when it occurred. They
begged Sims not to shoot, but the old
man did not heed them and fired, he
claims in self defense. .-.

BEGIN WORK
ON REVISING
REVENUE Law
Expect To Have New
Bill Ready for House
of Representatives At
End Of Next Week

Washington, Aug. S.-The real work
Of revising the 1918 revenue law was
begun today by Republicans Of the
Ways and Means committee with the
expectation that they would have the
new bill ready for the house of rep
re@entatives at the end of next week.
The big problem was said to be the
determination of cuts to lie made in
present taxes. There are almost as
many views, at least on some parts of
the subject. as there are members OF
the committee and it was believed
that the harmonizing of these would
require some little time.
One difference revolves around the
transportation tax. Some committee
men favor immediate repeal of this
levy while others believe it will be the
part of wisdom to follow the treas
ury suggestion that one half be cut
off now and the remainder next year.
Treasury suggestions for new taxes,
except possibly an increased levy on
cigarettes and tobacco products ap-
pear to have few supporters. 1t had
Leen explained, however, that to re-
wise or repeal some of the taxes re-
garded as particularly Objectionable
or burdensome it might be necessary
to impose scme new or additional
leyies.
These suggestions together with
that of whether the excess profits tax
is to be repealed as of last January or
next January /, remain to be worked
cut. Irrespective of the effective date
of the excess profits repeal and the
substitution Of any additional five per
cent tax on corporation income, treas
TRY experts have estimated that the
corporations will pay approximately
$150000.000 less during the next fiscal
year under this revision than they
would under the present law.
Allowing expected shrinkage in cor
poration returns as a result of busi-
ness depression treasury, officers have
figured that the corporations would
pay 5000 100000 in the fiscal year 1928
under the present law and approx
mately $750,000, 600 under the prOpos-
cd revision. With the revision ef-
fective as of last January /, it is es-
timated that the. return would lie
$74S,000,000 all as income tax, and
with it effective is of next January 1,
it would be $754,000,O00, Of which
$562, 100000 would be income tax and
9S,500.000 excess profits tax. The
estimated returns from the corpora
tions for this fiscal year is $1,125,000.
900 so that it is figured that there will
be a natural shrinkage of nearly a
quarter of a million dollars.

set an example to workers IN other
industries which would induce them

ALLIED COUNCIL
WORKING ON THE
FATE OF SILESIA
Ambassador C eorg e
Harvey Is Representing
the United States In the
Consideration Of the
Problem

Paris, Aug. s. S.-Consultation rcla-
tive to the Upper Sileslan question
took place here today between the
heads of various government delega-
tions to the meeting of the supreme
allied council, preliminary to the first
session of the council this afternoon
1t was hoped to present at the first
meeting OF the body the views OF
France, Great Britain and Italy. which
have been divergent thus far.
Prime Minister Lloyd George. of
Great Britain. took dinner with Pre-
mier BRAND last night and later the
two statesmen had a long confer
ence 1t was assumed that an at
tempt was made by them to adjust
the conflicting positions of their GOV
ernments relative to Upper Silesia So
that the work of the supreme council
might be expedited This morning 3
meeting of the council was not held
as was planned because Premier
Bonomi, of Italy, had not arrived in
time to participate in it.
1t is understood that Great Britain
would solve the Silesian question by
awarding the districts of Pless and
Rybnik to Poland and it is under
stood that Premier Lloyd George has
expressed apprehension that any 9th
er solution of the question would Gre
ate in Upper Silesia new Alsace~
Lorraine.
France, on the other hand would
draw the frontier between Poland
and Germany along the Oder river, ii
being asserted by the French experts
that such an award to Poland would
be in line with the result Of the pleb
iscite held in Upper Silesia. Italy rep
resents what might be called mid
die ground, suggesting that the from
tier be placed east of the Oder river.
but giving to Poland more than the
small portion of the mining district
in the southeastern quarter of the
country where the Poles established
more than clear majority in the
plebiscite.
Interest in the present meeting of
the council was intensified by the
presence of George Harvey. the Unit

ain, who came to Paris to act as
American representative. When Pre-

The first subject on the program for
the councils meeting this afternoon
was the question whether reinforce
ments would lie sent to Silesia. Am
bassador Harvey had Il long consul
tation this forenoon with the repara-
tions committee and Col. James A.
Logan, Jr., who has represented the
United States in various reparations
matters. Afterwards Col. Harvey
called on Sir Robert Horne, chancel
lor, of the British eXchequer, who viii,
represent great Britain at the fnan-
cial conference of the powers which
meets tomorrow.
Premier BRAND had long confer
ence this morning with Marshal Foch;
General Lerond, head of the Inter Al

FEAR LYNCHINC
IN CONNECTION
WITH Lee MURDER
State Guardsmen Thrown Around
Duval County Jail To Pro-

Jacksonville, Aug. S.-A detach-
ment of state guardsmen still hold the
Armory here today as the result of
threats of mob violence against Henry
Hamilton, the negro held in connec-
tion with the murder of Mrs. j. b.
Lee, who was killed at her home
late Saturday night, supposedly by a
burglar. The annual encampment of
the First Florida Infantry was in prog
ress at Camp Johnson and when Sher-

reports that an attempt would be
made to lynch Hamilton, he asked for
troops to guard the prisoner A strong
guard was. thrown about the county
