St. Clair Country Club Fipds
Postur IS in New Steps
Require Firm Veto.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 29.-Scandal-
lied by the introduction of sugges-
tive pastures on the ballroom floor.
the Social Committee of the fash.
ionable st. Clair Country Club has
issued a formal edict prohibiting all
forms of dancing that offend good
taste and declaring that violators
will be stopped on the floor"
The club, whose membership is
composed largely of social leaders in
the South Hills District, holds regU-
lar Saturday night dances, and these
have been especially popular with
the younger members and their sons
and daughters. The club has always
prided itself on it's high moral tone
and it's exclusion of vulgarities. On
this account mothers permitted
daughters unusual freedom in at
tending the dances. So secure did
the management feel that there was
some relaxation in the rigidness of
supervisionS
1t seems that daring devotees OF
modern dances took advantage OF
this let-up in surveillance, and in,
diligence in questionable gyrations
spread rapidly. This situation came
as a shock to the social committee
when they personally confirmed the
reports.

1900 WEALTHY
FACE PROBE ON
/ INCOME TAXES
Government Has CulIed 1918
1eturns and Wants Promi-
nent Men to Explain.

Officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau are interesting themselves in
the income tax returns for 1918 Of
about 1000 of the most prominent and
supposedly wealthiest men in the
united States. These returns have
been culled from about 700, 900 which
have aroused the suspicious of the
revenue commissioners.
A sample instance mentioned is that
Of an eminent business and profess
sional man-whose name is not dis
closed-who is now in a prominent
Government position, who paid less
than IS, 900 income tax in 1918, but in
1913 acknowledged having an income
in excess OF 100000.
So far as the income tax division
has been able to ascertain, he was in
the same business during these two
years and for many years previously.
The Federal law prohibits the making
public of tax returns from individuals
and corporations unless the individual
or corporation personally gives out the
information, and for that reason 1t Is
not possible to obtain accurate in
formation or the names of the men
whose returns are being investigated.
Unofficial information, however, Is
that many of these men who from pub
lie statements and from information
gathered by Government agents from
various sources had incomes ranging
from 100000 up to $1,000,0o0 paid
amounts of less than $4,000 to the
Government for the last year of the
war.
In culling this number from the
zoe. 900 or more that are being re-
viewed, the bureau does not intend to
forget the others, but these are con-
sidered to be giaring instances of
either a deliberate attempt to defraud
the Government of the amount prop
erly due under the income tax law or
else the makers have enormous sums
tied up in tax exempt securities and
things of that kind which were not in
cluded in the tax returns.
Many of the returns that are being
scrutinized show a remarkable in
crease in income in 1919 over 1918 that
are not accounted for in the tax re-
turns

NEW FRENCH LOAN
GATHERS IMPETUS
Distributing Syndicate Larger
Than It's Managers Had
Counted On.

The syndicate managers for the new

to-day, complete word regarding ac-
ceptances by members of the distribut-
ing syndicate. The result of the COM
pilation was larger distributing syndi-
cate than the bankers had counted on.
Not only was there an exceedingly high
percentage of acceptance of the invi-
tatlons to be members of the distribut-
ing body, but some requested an in
creased percentage and several dealers
who had received no invitation requested
a participation.
1t was stated at the close OF business
yesterday that subscriptions received 70
the new French loan were as large pro-
portionately as those submitted at a
similar period in the offering of s230,-
600, 900 OF Great Northern-Northern Pa
cific 8 " per cent bonds Consequently
the progress OF the new French loan dis
tribution is highly satisfactory. running
at least equal to and probably well in
excess Of an estimated schedule. Pres
ent plans call for the closing of the
books on Friday, but reports last night
were that the loan was gathering inn
petus and that the virtual settlement of
the Silesian imbroglio should have a
beneficial effect on salesmen's efforts to-
day and Thursday.
