Governor Allen editoriHlly urges

Income tax agents have given in
side tips regarding tax returns. by
which principals rcapcd millions oil

ury and taxpayers. The conspiracy IS
known TO exist in many places IN the
middle west and Is believed to be
nation wide in its scope.
Taxpayers have been approached by

EXPERTS" These so-cnllcd experts
have claimed to possess underground
influence with the United States
treasury officials ny which taxpayers
can secure great reductions in what
seem 10 hc eXorbitant taxes.
High Fees Paid Experts.
Taxpayers paid from 35 to so per
cent. of the alleged reduction to the
so-callcd experts. The fees in some
cases have run as high rs $4,000 and
moro.
Solicitors have approached tax
payers and in some cases have FORE

The Reacnn has secured evidence

(By a Staff Corrcspondcnt.)

4 number Of noted reiisinlis york
crs are scheduled to address the con-
ycntion tomorrow and the programme
promises to be the most interesting
one of the convention.
Examination of the register shows
that the great majority of the dele
gates in attendance upon the conven-
tion are either superintendent OF
Sunday schools or teachers. There
are 2,400 Sunday schools in South
Carolina at the present time, accord
ing to Leon c. Palmer, general super
intendent of the South Carolina Sun
day school convention. While all OF
these are not represented there is n
sufficient representation 10 provide in

spiration for all of them and it is the
belief Of all that this is what the con-
vention now in session will do.
Two Meetings in Progress.

Two Meetings in Progress.
There are two big gatherings going
on ut Winthrop college just now.
Members of the Woman's Home Dem
onstration Clubs and Girls Canning
Clubs from over the state are in ten
day sessions here. They are also
erincing lively interest in the Sum-
day school convention and are in at
tendance whenever they can find op-
portunity to get away from their own
work. There are $50 of them.
The great auditorium of Winthrop
and the other college accommodations
are large enough to accommodate a
third convention. Both the Demon
stration forces and the Sunday school
delegates are housed in Winthrop dor
nitories. There is so much room that
hardly anybody hears anybody. else
snore. Both take their meals in the
huge dining room at the same time.
There is room to spare and enough
good, wholesome food lefc after each
meal to take. care of all the real hun
cry folks in South Carolina.
Many of the delegates in attendance
on the Sunday School convention have
come by automobile One may sit
around the spacious campus between
convention sessions with them and get
q lot of interesting information re-
garding the general crop situation and
other situations over the state.
1t has not been determined yet as
to which county has the largest rep
resentation at the convention. Dele
gates were still coming in today by
train and automobile.
There are many ministers in atten-
dance-ministers of all denominations.
Denominationalism has no place in
this convention but the idea is to en-
list everybody in Sunday school work
regardless of isns.
The leaders say that good progress
is being made in that direction.

short while last Tuesday afternoon
en- route for the state Sunday school
convention at Winthrop college. Mr..

In this state Of mind Mrs. Raiscn
returned to New York by boat last Fri
day morning. Without notifying her
husband or any member Of her family
she went to The Hotel Breslin. Manhat-
tan. and registered under her own
name. Friday night she scwed up the
fur scarf, which she later used as a
muff to hide the revolver in her hand,
and on Saturday afternoon started for
Dr. Glicksecin's 8 home.
She sat for few moments in the
phys'cian'H reception room until he
opened The door from the consultation
room and saw her. She arose and
walked toward him. She does not re-
cali that they had any conversation
when he closed the consulting room
door. She remembers only that she
walked toward him, placed the muzzle
of her hidden weapon against his heart
and pulled the trigger. When the first
cartridge failed to explode she pulled
it again. This time the gun fired.
Leaving the physician standing where
he had been shot, she stepped quickly
tc the door leading to the hall. which
does not give on the reception room,
and passed to the street.

turned to the Rreslin. 1t was said
there last night, however, that she had
not been seen in the hotel since Sat

Points Far From Ocean Will
Decide Future Of Country
on Seas, Chairman Tells
Milwaukee Trade Meeting
Prairie Towns Must Help
Secretary Davis Pleads for
Disarmament as Means
of Ending Industrial War

MILWAUKEE, Dec. Is. - In the
prairie towns and farms of the inland
states the future of America on the
seas will be decided, Albert D. Lasker,
chairman Of the Shipping Board, de-
clared in an address to-day before the
Milwaukee Association of Commerce.
The points farthest from the ocean
hold the fate Of the merchant marine
in their hands, he said.
''The claims for an American mer-
chant marine must rest on its economic
necessity to the American people as n
whole" Mr.. Lasker continued
"We should remember that if we
enter a ten-year naval holiday, and if
we fail to establish q merchant marine.
American shipyards will be largely
closed and the art of shipbuilding will
practically be lost to u.s." Mr. Lasker
continued. "Should again the day come
when in the national defense VIC must
make use of our. navy we would be
lacking in the yards and the trained
workers to renew its strength; and the
nations which during the holiday pc
riod had kept their yards alive with
merchant marine work would have an
unmatchable advantage over US.
"The farmers direct and overwhelm-
ing interest in the overseas trade was
proved not a great while ago in his
pressure on Congress, which resulted
in the passage of bill over Presi-
dent Wilson's veto directing the re-
sumption of the War Finance Corpora
tion, with authority to issue a billion
dollars in credit for the purpose of
aiding him in exporting agricultural
and other products.
s'The very life of foreign commerce is
that the exporting nation should have
regular, constant and uninterrupted
communication with the importing ma
tion. America, with its vastly in
creased need for export business, must
insure that export business b. insur-
ing that it owns ard controls the ships
to carry its trade"
Secretary OF Labor Davis, also a
speaker at the meeting, made plea
for disarmament in industrial strife in
order to get the country on q full-pro-
duction basis.
"We can have, we must have, more
peace in industry" said Mr.. Davis, VIII 0
asked employer and employee to drop
their grouches and go to it," He called
for "better work and more Of it," and a
Saving wage" rather than living
wage for workers.
"In the past the strike may have
been the only means to gain right
Mr.. Davis. "Now the strike is becom-
