31,5OO,OO i'm Income
Tax Paid State to Date
Returns in From 775,OOO, and
Comptroller Expects to Col
lect So. 500. 600 More

ALBANY, May 7.-Income tax re-
ceipts for 1920 up TO the close of bust
ness yesterday totalled $31,50oO00 and
represented payments by 775,oo0 per-
sons. Comptroller James A. Wendell
announced to-day. The Comptroller
said that it WAS expected that $4,000 900
additional would be collected through
the audit of returns, the activities Of
the Investigating division in rounding
up delinquents and payments after the
expiration of extensions Of time granted
in which to make returns.
Receipts in payment Of the 1919 tax
totaled s37.00o,000. There were 6I2,-
600 taxpayers.
Poor business conditions in 1920
account for the falling off in income
receipts" said Comptroller Wendell.
s'The large increase in the number of
taxpayers is attributed to the thousands
of railroad employees who were exempt
under Federal control of the railroads,
but who paid this year, and the further
fact that wages in the labor group
reached the peak in 1920. Municipal
employees, including thousands of
school teachers. received increases in
salaries which brought them for the
first time into the taxpaying class.
"The large number of returns indi-
Gates not only healthy financial con-
dition throughout the state but a wider
distribution among the people of the
tax burden"

troubles of Fred r. Levee, Los Angeles
attorney and clubman, and his wife,
Mrs. Matilda Levee, who shot and
killed him in New Orleans TODAY.
have been recounted in the newspapers
here at various times in the last two
years.
Publicity was first given their affairs
when Mrs. Levee publicly horsewhipped
woman in one of the leading Los
Angeles hotels. The last published
account of their troubles came only a
few months ago, when Mrs. Levee was
freed from a charge OF insanity after
a hearing before the lunacy commits
sion, and admonished by the presiding
judge to cease her violent tactics and
leave her husband alone"
AT the time of the horsewhipping
Mrs. Levee was said also to have
beaten still another woman and to
have shot her husband in the arm.
She followed this with the filing of
suit for separate maintenance, charg-
ing. Levee with infidelity and with
squandering her money on other
women. She asserted she had fur
nished the funds to send him through
law school and to obtain for him mem
bership in number of leading clubs.
Levee went to New Orleans January
ii, shortly after Mrs. Levee cleared
herself Of the insanity charge.

Senator Harrison Attack Z
Measure as Wrong Means
of Giving Farmers Aid

WASHINGTON, May Further con-
sideration of the emergency tariff bill
to-day by the Senate was marked by
the introduction of two additional
amendments and an attack on the meas
ure by Senator Harrison, Democrat, Of
Mississippi.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Of Ari-
zona, proposed that the duty Of seven
cents pound on long staple cotton be
increased to 90 cents, while Senator
Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico, moved
for tariff of Is per cent ad valorem
on all importations of hides. The
amendments will be taken up later.
{ In his attack on the bill Senator
Harrison told the Senate Congress was
pursuing the worst course in seeking
to remedy the country's economic ills
by use OF "cure-all" tariff. He de-
clared that the average farmer desired
the government 60 make "more avail
able" such agencies for his aid as it
now has rather than TO waste further
time on such questions as the tariff
Chairman Fordney of the House
Ways and Means Committee announced
to-day that subcommittee of mis- COM
mittee were practically through with
their work on the permanent tariff
bill, and that the whole committee
probably would begin consideration Of
the permanent schedules within week.

Plans for New Federal
Judges To BE Discussed
Daugherty and House Sub-C Cong

her and Distribution

fro'n The 1'Tfbmae's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May THE number
and distribution of new Federal Judge
ships will be taken up by Attorney
General Daugherty and subcommittee
OF the House Judiciary Committee,
headed by Chairman Andrew J. Vol
stead, of Minnesota, next Wednesday.
More than score of bills have been
introduced to create new judgeships.
Congress and the Department. of Jus
tice agree that there are not suf-
ficient number Of district judges now
TO handle business expeditiously in all
of the districts
Three proposals for meeting the de-
ficieney in judges will be discussed at
the Wednesday conference. They are;
Flrst--The appointmenr or an addi-
tional Judge in fifteen or twenty of
the most congested districts.
Second-The appointment Of about
hfteen judges to be assigned to duty
by the Attorney General ,.or the Su-
preme Court in districts where their
services Are most needed.
Third-The creation of 8 number Of
United States commissions to try mis-
demeanor cases, which would include
all cases where the penalty on convic-
ton would be less than q year in JAIL.
Those backing the third plan say
the commissions could handle the bulk
OF the prohibition cases which now are
contributing largely to congesting the
calendars of many Federal courts.

Republicans for Whitman
AS Successor TO Swami
Party Leaders Consider Tender
Of Nomination and Possible
Tammany Endorsement

Republican leaders are seriously con-
sidering the tender to Ex-Governor
Charles S. Whitman of nomination
for District Attorney of New York
County TO succeed District Attorney
Swami.
Mr. Whitman has not given the move
ment any encouragement, merely say
ing to all inquiries that he is not q
candidate for any Office.
The possibility of naming the former
Governor the chief prosecuting officer
of the county, OF a platform pledging
a. thorough house cleaning, appeals
strongly to the Republican rank and
file.
1t is probable that if Mr.. Whitman
is the candidate Of the Republicans for
his old place, Tammany will indorse
him. This happened in 1913 when the
Tammany managers, realizing that Mr..
Whitman would win any way, decided
to take their medicine gracefully.

MADRID, May - Vicente Tlasco

where, he declared, Spain and things
Spanish. occupied more attention than
in the countries Of Europe, where the
majority Of the people were indifferent
to them.
Senior Ibahes gave his impressions of
Mexico, which, he said. should be left
to work out It's own destiny. Latent
anarchy existed among the Indians
there, he said. while the worst feature
of all was the militaristic spirit under
illsterate generals. The novelist de-
clared he intended to refrain from
publishing his complete novel concern
ing Mexican customs, "The Eagle and
the Serpent" because he did not desire
to throw oil on the flames.
Senior Ibahez intends to devote him
self Immediately to writing. He also
will organize literary gatherings in his
house in Madrid, where men can ex-
change views with women, the novelist
being Of the opinion that the separa-
ton of sexes in Spain is most harm
full, creating false conceptions of life.

Annapolis 1922 Class
To Be Graduated i'm June
DENLY Rescinds Order Which
Fixed December as Date and
Was Opposed i'm Congress

WASHINGTON, May THE 1922
class of the Naval Academy at Annap-
oils. will not be graduated next De-
cernber, as previously directed by Sec
rotary of the Navy DENLY, but will con-
tinue its studies until June next year,
the regular time for graduation, &C
cording to an order issued to-day by
the Secretary.
This last order rescinds the previous
one, which Mr.. DENLY said was based
on the theory that the need for COM
missioned personnel was such that JUS
tlfication. existed for advancing the
graduation date six months. This con-
tention has been resisted in Congress.
where members Of the House charged
that the advancement Of the date was
for the purpose of preventing loss In
grade by numerous officers now holding
temporary rank, which under the law
would cease December 81.
Secretary Denby's decision to have the
1922 class continue it's studies will re-
suit in the navy being undermanned
for at least six months, he said.
