Lawrence 'Mystery" Dis
solves-Widow Sued
for Conspiracy.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 15.-The
Lawrence murder mystery case.
which grew up around the, death Of
Richard S. Lawrence. killed by a
railroad train on March Il, 1913,
was reported without foundation
by a special investigating commits
tee of the Dane county court today.
The report was based on examinar
ton of the body by DR.. c. II. Bunt-.
ing, University of Wisconsin path
ologist, and DIR. W. F. Lorenz, head
Of the Mendoza Psychiatric insti-
tute. -
The doctors said the character
of the wounds preclude possibility
of murder, and that there was no
unknown examination OF the body
after it was buried.
Official action in the case has
been dropped by both the district
attorney and county officials.
Claim had been made by the wild
ow of. Lawrence that he had BEEN
! murdered for his supposed fortune.
which was said to include a noted
diamond. She declared that an nm
/ known man had been killed by the
train and his body switched at the
grave with that of her husband,
supporting her contention with the
statement that examination OF the
i that of her former husband with
only a cash on the head.
Doctors Report.
The report Of the doctors said
that bits of coal and even pebbles
were ground into many parts OF
the body, which may serve to indi-
cate that the body was dragged
heavily over the roadbed of rail-
road.
DR.. Bunting. in . separate report.
stated:
Il do not believe there was any
4 tampering with the body after II
was buried, to the extent at least
of attempting to produce wounds
similar to those that might be
. caused by. railroad accident"
Coincident with the report Of the
investigating committee, simmons
were issued in .. conspiracy suit
started by E. J. Lawrence, nephew
Of the dead man, against Mrs. r. 8

EXCESS PROFIT
TAX MAY NOT BE
KNOWN BYJULY
Much Legislation De.
layed by Congress
sional jam.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

washington, D. c., Feb. A.
Legislative plans for a definite
understanding by July / OF the
taxes that business men must pay
for this year seem to be going by
the boards on account Of the inabil-
ity Of congress- to get much done at
the present session which ends in
q fortnight.
So much legislation Of general
character will be left over for the
special session to be called by Mr..
Harding that the plan of getting
revenue legislation out Of the way
by the end of June is obviously i'm
possible. During the campaign it
was whispered by the knowing ones
that every business man in the
United States would be advised by
July just how much Of the in
come of the year 1921 must 60 to
the government. The date was ten
tatively fixed as q goal because
many business houses keep their
books from July l to July ! and it
was considered valuable to know
for example just how much buying
to do and at what margin business
could be conlucted for the ensuing
year. Moreover, concerns which
had failed to do very much business
in the first six months Of the year
1921 were to be benefited by the
knowledge that they wouldn't bt
troubled with the excess profits tai
either for the first or last si1
| months Of 1921. Indeed whil'
there has been much talk Of repeal
ing the excess profits tax, business
cannot proceed on that assumption
until action to that effect has beel
taken and some idea II given as t
the character Of the substitute tax.
| Until the present congress 30
into . legislative jam. it was as
sumed that March would see tn
passage OF all the important appro
priation bills as we'll as the passag
of some general legislation 10
which the agricultural interests Q
the country, had been pressing.
The danger that some appropria
ton bills may go over until the mel
session and that the farmers OF
ganization will continue their figh
early in the next session if fo
example the bill to control tn
packers fails to get through make
: it likely that the first months OF th
new session will be slow moving.
Extra Session.
Il Mr.. Harding is being urged I'd ca.
the extra session as early as Marc
Is though April Is was the date ths
previously had been mentioned as
, tentative date. The date Of the extr
. session is Of double importance t
