SEEK SPANIARD
AND ARTIST WIFE

CHICAGO, Jan. THE eternal
triangle became a parallelogram to-
day when police of the nation were
asked to search for Pierre Paul
Auther, Chicago, and Mrs. Charlotte
Franzen, Madison, Wis. Both have
been missing from their respective
homes for several days.
Detectives were first called in by
Mrs. Auther, who suspected that
her husband, descendant of a noble
Spanish family, war hero and globe
trotter, had eloped with "one OF the
other women"
Telltale letters to Auther from
Mrs. Charlotte .Franzen were un-
earthed and turned over to the po-
lice. Mrs. Auther followed this by
obtaining a warrant charging Au-
ther with abandonment
Phillip NJ. Franzen, decorator for
the University of Wisconsin, next
swore out a warrant charging Au-
ther with grand larceny. He said
Auther appeared ut his home and,
at the point of, gun, stole Mrs
Franzsn. after forcing the husband
to write out a check for 500.

MISS WELLERSON
WELL LIKED In.
CELLO PROGRAM
Youthful Virtuoso Plays
Own Composition
AS Encore.

Advance notices of the merits OF
concert artists ofttimes contain
slight exaggerations. But in the
case of Mildred Wellerson, the 10
year-old 'cellist, who appeared for
tne hrst time in Washington at the
New National Theater yesterday
afternoon, the press notices failed
70 describe adequately the wonder
ful ability OF the child.
This young musician is large for
her age, and her appearance shows
that her parents, who travel with
her, have taken as good care OF
her physical welfare as they have
or her musical development Her
marvellous playing is a credit to her
iather, who was her accompanist,
and to her mother. who has been,
so it. is said, her only instructor.
The rendition OF the entire program
was given with an ease and an ap-
parent lack OF concern that would
have done credit to a more mature
player.
Miss Wellerson's first number was
Marcello's Sonata No. 4. This was
followed by Goltermann's Concerto
In A minor, Peppers Hungarian
Rhapsodie" and Chopin's "Nocturne.' -
A dainty number that the 'celIist
was obliged to repeat was The
Cranky Baby" composed by herself.
The concluding program number was
Peppers "Efentanz." This caused
such enthusiastic applause that the
solotst responded with several en-
cores, among them being Kreisler's
'Liebesfreud."
Patrick Kelly. an Irish tenor, gave
a number Of vocal selections which
appeared to please a portion OF the
audience. His accompanist was
Mortimer Browning. The concert
deserved a much larger audience
than was present.

GENERAL SALES TAX
INTRODUCED TUESDAY
BY SENATOR SMO0T

WASHINGTON, April IA gen.
eral sales tax was advocated In a
statement by Senator Smoot of Utah,
Republican MEMBER of the senate
finance committee, who announced
, formally he would introduce a bill to
that end in the senate Tuesday, the
second day Of the extraordinary ses-
sion of the sixty-seventh American
! congress, called by President Harding
a few weeks ago.
| The congressional program tomor-
row is expected to be limited to the
usual opening formalities, including
the adoption Of resolutions providing
for joint session on Tuesday to hear
the presidents address and to organi-
cation work. Committees of leaders
also will be appointed tomorrow to
notify the president of the assembling
of congress.
| Senator Shoots measure, which he
estimates would yield approximately
81 800 100000 in revenue annually,
would place flat tax of / per cent on
gross sales above $4,000 annually of
virtually all commodities, both raw
materials and finished products. The
bill carries few exemptions, but ap-
'pl1cation of the tax would be stayed
practically only on such commodities
as now bear a higher levy
Early consideration of the Smoot
proposal is planned by the Senate fin
ance committee in it's study of the tax
alton question. Tentative arrange
ments contemplate the opening of
hearings on this phase before the end
of the week
Simple in Application
In discussing his proposed sales tax,
Mr.. Smoot said it would be simple in
application and easy to compute. He
declared it properly would distribute
the burden Of taxation. compelling
each citizen to bear a share proper.
tionate to his ability to pay, as mea.
sured by his buying or producing

IF the sales tax becomes a part o.
the revenue laws of our country" the
statement continued, Congress can re

FORMS new COMPANY
TO MARKET CASINOS

Notice was received in this city Sat
urday night that charter has been
issued to the Monarch Casing Supply
company of Indiana and that the Indi-
ana security commission has approved
plan of organization i.
Considerable local interest attaches
to this announcement because of the
fact that the founder of the company
Richmond boy. who has been in the
casing business for himself for the
last two years in the Breckenridge oil
Fields of Texas and who served in tho
navy during the war, was cited by
Secretary Daniels for his part in the
rescue of the crew of a sub-chaser in
which he was shipwrecked.
Mr. Monarch said Monday, That it
is not an oil company, but a merchan-
dising company to sell and trade cas-
ing to independent producers in the
Breckenridge oil field. This same ser
vice has been carried on by individ-
uals for sometime, but l believe it is
tne HTSt time the same service mas
been rendered by company . Strictly
speaking it is a service company. The
plan on which the company operates
is that of furnishing casing to indi-
viduals or companies drilling oil wells.
in return for an interest in the well.
Attorneys Advise.
Mr.. Monarch sair further, that in
the organization of the company I
have taken every precaution to elm
mate as far as possible the chance of
loss. The plan he said was prepared
by the best attorneys in Chicago and
Indianapolis and has been passed and
approved by some of the largest fnan-
citl interests in Chicago. He said fur
Their that this is not promotion coul-
pany and no stock is given away and
none will be sold below par
Fred Sims, former head of the state
tax board, will act as counsel for the
company.

arch during his stay in Texas, showing
some of the 'gusher5" in the Breckin
ridge district are on display in the
show windows of the Lichtenfels cloth
ing store and the Wilson Cleaning
