the shooting Chancellor Day declar-
ed that it was the belief that Dean
Wharton died trying to prevent the
professor from committing suicide.
This was indicated in a note left
for Dean Wharton by Prof. Beck
with, said the chancellor, in which
he intimated that he was going to
kill himself, and referred to alleged
unjust treatment of himself, based
on the fact that he had been dis
missed, the dismissal to take effect
at the end Of the year. Dean Whar-
tons chair, stout one, was broken.
He evidently lea ed from 1t when
Beckwith tried to kill himself, and
the gun was turned on him, and the
| dean was shot through the head.

als6 stabbed himself to make death
| certain.

CATHOLIC PRIEST WAS CALLED
TO His Door and KilIed--Niurdcrer
and Motive Arc Unknown.

Detroit, Mich, April 2.-The iden-
tity Of the person who shot and kill
ed Rev. Leo Jarecki, rector Of Our
Lady Of Mt. Carmel church, at Wy
.'ndotte, near here, last night, and
the assailants motive, remained
shrouded in mystery early to-day.
Authorities had established, how
ever, that a person familiar with the
priests household was implicated in
the act.
Father Jarecki was at the rectory
with his housekeeper when he an
swered ring at the door and was
shot down, his assRlant fleeing in
an automobile. The authorities we're
told by the housekeeper that just
before the priest was summoned to
the door there had been knock at
the door Of her apartment in another
part Of the house.
Earlier in the evening an unidenti-
fed person called Father Jarecki on
the telephone and made an appoint
ment with him and was given direc-
tions by the priest by which to find
the rectory. Several boys told the
authorities they had observed q
small automobile driven aimlessly
about the neighborhood early in the
evening, but they were unable to de-
scribe the occupants Of the machine.
Father Jarecki was born in Mako,
Poland, In 1875. He was ordained
in Rome in 1900, and Immediately
came to Detroit and became a men,
Der Of the faculty Of the Polish Sem
mary at Orchard Lake, having been

The report of the commercial agencies fail- in this country in 1920 Is not nearly as bad as would have expected the beginning of the year if we could have foreseen the conditions that were shortly to arise. We knew of course that there must be a readjustment and we that readJustments of things generally, from the earths surface down to peanut stands are unattended by jolts and jars.
 But were yet in a sort of fools paradise. Prices were high; wages were high and predictions made that had not yet reached the top notch. Then there deflation, something that had all agreed upon. would have to come That disclosed to the country among other things, thing of which the large bankers already knew that there being held stocks of various commodities which were popularly supposed to be scarce. Manufacturers had overdone themselves in production, the while they accounting for high prices. by lack of production Jobbers perhaps de- ceived else feeling that the manufacturers would still be able to control the market, accumulated unusually heavy stocks. Retailers too for months misled by the cry of lack of production had been buying franticaIly and clamoring for Now that we look back, that could have been prepared for what was coming an overload of stocks, consequent unemployment until the reserves could be absorbed, along with the re- strction of credit in consequence of defation Con- sidering all these things. the country may congratu late itself on having come through nearly whole. and without degree of trepdation nearly approach ing panic.

SeIf-Detern1inotion
 For Women
Hy FREDERIC J. HAskIN


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The old theory that husband and wife are one person-and that one person is the man-is soon to be brought up to con- gress for scrutiny and revision.
 The American woman has the vote. barring an unexpected unfavorable de- cision of the supreme court, and she is now training her guns on other dis criminations against her sex. Tn this case the desired change is that an American woman who marries an alien shall remain an American citi- zen, instead of suddenly being trans formed into Q Swede, Italian or Turk, or whatever else her husband may be.
 For years it was an accepted fact that wife should go where her hus- band went, have no interests of any importance except his interests, auto- matically renounce her citizenship for his, and in every way become what the feminists like to call a submerged personality. The laws have upheld this creed and the courts have en- l forced it. It apparently worked smoothly enough so long as the grea' majority of women stuck to fancy l work, poodles and pies.
 | Occasionally a woman married to {; foreigner appealed to a state court fo l the right to regain her status as ar
 American. Sometimes the courts de
 cided in her favor, but general,
 against her Finally, in 1907. congress ended the uncertainty in this particula j matter by a federal law. The natur

 Nome has gone the way of scores of fitful placer camps. Its story is the tale in another setting of Orofino, Pierce City Warrens and Florence of the early sixties in Northern Idaho; of the North Fork placer camps the Occur d'Alenes in the early eighties; Central City and Leadville, in Colorado of wasted camps in Montana and Southern Idaho in British Columbia oregon and Nevada, to say noth- ing the wold days of the ffities in California.

THE LEss You MAKE rHE MORE rHEY rAkE

Secretary of the Treasury Houston advises congress make certain changes in the income tax law. He would wipe out the excess profits tax and some of the luxury The execution of this sug- geston would, of course, big hole in the in come tax receipts. At the time Houston, and other heads of federal departments asked for ap propriations larger than they receive.
 To make up a major part of the deficit caused by increased governmental expenditures and de- creased receipts Houston would increase the tax upon incomes of s50O0 and LESS by 50 per cent. That would reach about every wage earner not exempt under the present law. It would place added and heavy burden upon nearly every worker and his family.
 But this does not satisfy Houston He asks congress to tax every gallon of gasoline place heavier burdens upon automobile buyers, upon the atergoers, movies, and users of tobacco chewing gum, soaps, perfumes, and medicinal articles He suggests additional tax of $2.000,000 candy.
 A clear insight into Houston's idea may be gleaned from a comparison of his proposed tax in- creases. He asks congress to increase the small salary man (under $50oO) 50 per cent. but he asks that the larger salary ($500O S10 O00) increased but 5per cent Houston's idea being, supposes, that the smaller the wage the larger the proportion of the additional burden may be borne.
 The taxes proposed by Houston op- pressive. They imposed with no idea of placing the additional burdens upon shoulders most able to them, but those from whom it will be most easy for the governnNnt to collect. To Secretary Houston it doesn't appear matter if the burdens are equitably distributed or Jumped upon what tax collectors have labelled the easy marks that is the small income easily traced and easily taken.
