New York, Dec. 15.-(Special.)
Its hard shedding for oriental
princesses in this democratic city
When the thrill has worn off the
| faded New Yorker yawns looks for
another object of interest and pro-
ceeds to forget his visions of the
orient.
Consider for instance. the woeful
experience of Princess Fatima of
| Afghanistant, who came here three
months ago with her three sons,
Hashim, Azic and Akber, was re-
ceived by Mayor Hylan at the city
hall, dazzled New Workers for a
while and then went into oblivion.
But the limelight is again upon
her. For the Sultana Is broke,
busted, cleaned out.
The princess who came from the
land of Arabian Nights, where her
brother is absolute ruler of the
kingdom of Afghanistan and
where fantastic Afghanistan is
Iregnant. finds herself today facing
the grim specter of want.
Tricked, She Says.
And all because, she says, she
lent a willing ear to the seductive
words Of the character known as
CDR. Clifford Sterling Weyman,
who tricked her out of a pretty
penny, according to her assertions.
CDR. Weyman" burst into the
public prints some time ago, when
he bamboozled DR.. Adolf Lorenz,
the Viennese surgeon, into the be-
lief that he had been commissioned
by DIR. Royal s. Copeland. health
commissioner of New York. 10
guide him in his work of charity.
His status was unearthed, however,
after an investigation had been
made by DR.. Copeland and he was
fired as secretary of the sur
geon.
Using a pleasant exterior and a
great deal of diplomatic skill, CDR.
Weyman" talked himself into the
confidence Of the oriental princess
and so separated her from her
wealth, she claims.
Pawned Gem.
Since that time her fortune has
been going down, down, down. To
halt the iuggernaut of her reverses,
the princess was forced to pawn
her rare "Duryainoor" diamond
and the $4,000 raised on that gem
has since evaporated.
| Arrayed with Jewels which were
valued at that time at millions of
dollars, the princess arrived in
America three months ago and
was very much taken with the
charm and hospitality of the
Americans.
Fair-skinned, with keen, intelli-
get eyes, the Sultana was soon
the object of considerable atten-
ton. She wore her picturesque
native costume and went about
her face only thinly yelled.
She said at that time that her
three sons, Prince Mohammed
Hashim, 10; Mohammed Azin
Khan, IT, and Mohammed Akber.
-, would remain in the United
States to attend school.
| Then bobbed up CDR. Clifford
Sterling Weyman." He told the
Sultana that he had been sent by
the state department to look after
her affairs.
1T costs money to pay the re-
porters and photographers" he
said. The princess thought he
was charming, and she showered
money on him for that purpose.
He kept 1t, she says now.

NEW METHOD Of
CORRECTING TAX
CLA|MSAD0PTED
Claims Against Govern
ment for 0ver-Assess-.
ments viii Be Handled
Without Filing Claim.

The following announcement Is
made by B. c. Hernandez. collec"
Tor OF internal revenue for the as
trict of New Mexico:
Tmnortant changes in income
+ay procedure directed by com
missioner David H. Blair are en-
bodied in a treasury tax decision
affective December 16 which pro
vides for the prompt adjustment
of claims for refund and abate-
znent of federal taxes.
Heretofore when an over-assess
ynent or overpayment was dis
closed by the audit of an income
fax return the taxpayer was tnvlt-
ed to file a claim for the aoate-
,nent of the over assessment or the
refund of the overpayment. When
received the claim was registered
and filed away until reached In
due course for consideration. Be-
cause of the large number of such
claims filed delay In adjustment
necessarily resulted.
After December is taxpayers
will not be advised of their priv
ilege of filing claim for the re-
fund of taxes which have been paid
I'm excess Of amounts legally due
but instead will receive certifi-
cate of over-assessment and a
check in correction Of the error, or
if any assessment is outstanding
against the taxpayer for income or
excess profits tax the overpay-
ment will be applied as a credit
against the assessment and the
balance Immediately refunded.
This method will be OF distinct
financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the government. IL
will do away with the necessity foc
the taxpayer filing claim for re-
fund and will greatly reduce the
amount of work to be done by the
bureau In the adjustment OF claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund
but 1t is expected that the num-
Der of such claims filed each
month will be greatly reduced.
Efforts are being made by the
bureau to adjust within six months
all claims now pending and there
after to keep the work current
The revenue act of 1921 provides
that under certain conditions in
terest shall be paid upon
claims from the date OF the
payment Of the tax to the date
of the allowance of the claim. The
new procedure should greatly re-
duce the amount of interest which
the government must Of necessity
pay upon claims for refund.

MIDNIGHT FIRE RACES
LARGE BRICK BUILDING
Ice Manufacturing Co., Pullman En-
gineering Co. and College Cream
cry Losers in Big Blaze

Pullman suffered another disas-
trous fire about midnight Saturday
when the brick building on Alder
and Paradise streets, owned by the
Pullman Ice Manufacturing company,
a corporation, and occupied by the
Ice company the Pullman Engineer
ing company and the State College
Creamery, was completely Quilted.
The fire was discovered about 1880
Saturday night and little Roadway
could be made against the flames by
the fire department, due to the many
frame partitions and the quantity of
inflammable material stored in the
building.
The building was owned by the
Pullman Ice Manufacturing COM
pany, incorporated, and was valued,
with the ice manufacturing machin-
cry, at $4,000. The insurance on
the building and ice making machin-
cry was only $500. The building is
entirely Quilted. but in all probability
tho walls can he salvaged. The ice
machinery and equipment is not serl-
ously damaged. The company own

building is 100 feet square
The equipment Of the Pullman En-
cheering company was valued at
$12, 200, but it is thought that much
OF the machinery can be salvaged.
The insurance was $4,000. The loss
to the College creamery, which was
practically total, Is approximately
$4,000, with no insurance.
Three tractors were in the Engin-
eering company work room for re-
pairs, but it is believed that the dam
age to these machines will be slight,
streams of water having been played
on them throughout the fire The
tractors are owned by w. D. Bark
huff, l.. Il. Hall and Harry Haynes.
Three automobiles, two owned by
the Engineering company and the
third by J. II. T. Smith, were badly
damaged.
Two theories are advanced as to
the origin of the blaze. J. r. Griffith,
instructor in civil engineering at the
State College and a fire expert Of
much experience, advances the the
DRY, after a full investigation, that
the blaze started from the boiler of
