D. c. F|REMEN AND
POLICE LOSE BONUS
Excluded From $24O as Ap.
preparation Measure for
1922 Now Stands.

The police and firemen Of the Dis
trict are specifically excluded from re.
cefving the $240 a year bonus as legis-
lation now stands. Last year the po.
lice and firemen received one-half OF
the bonus. or 1920. under a provision
in the District appropriation bill
which corrected a specific exemption
againt them in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill for
the current fiscal year. When the Dis
trict appropriation bill was up this
year, carrying provisions for the fiscal
year 1922. the $12O bonus for the Dis
trict police and firemen was stricken
out. At that time Chairman Davis, in
charge of the District appropriation
bill, said that the police and firemen
would receive at least $12O and pos
sibly $240 in the legislative appropria-
tion bill.
Provisions Left Unchanged.
The legislative appropriation bill
reported to the House yesterday con-
tinues the $240 bonus on the same
provision as obtained in the legisla-
tive bill for 1921, which specifically
excluded the police and firemen, so
that in the present stage of legisla-
tion the District police and firemen
are excluded.
The question was discussed in the
full appropriations committee yester-
day morning before the legislative
appropriation bill was reported out.
Representative Wood, of Indiana,
chairman of the subcommittee in
charge of the legislative appropria-
tion bill. explained that the increase
in pay granted to the firemen last
year removed them from the need
which Influenced the granting of the
$24O bonus to other government en-
ployes.
An effort is being made among
prominent men in Congress to have
the $240 bonus extended to the police
and firemen. Chairman Good of the
enlarged appropriations committee
said today that. of course, if the pay
of the police and f1remen Is not ade-
quate some adjustment may have to
be made. but that the full committee
had depended upon the statement of
Representative Wood in this rgard.

CASE
BRINGS CONFLICT
State and Labor Depart.
ments at Odds-Secretary
Wilson to Decide Monday.

Conflict between the State and Labor
departments over admission to this
country of Lord Mayor O'Callaghan of
Cork came to the surface today, when
formal denial was made by the Labor
Department of an earlier statement by
Assistant Secretary Merle Smith that
the case had been referred TO Under
secretary Of State Davis by Secretary
Wilson.
Labor Department officials said no
decision made by the State Department
under the apprehension that the case
had been referred to it would he ac-
had taken the question under advise
ment.
The labor Secretary is en- route to
Philadelphia and it was said he would
not take the case up until Monday.
upon his return.
Statement Of Mr. Smith.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Smith told
newspaper men at the State Depart.
ment. that the OCallaghan case had
been referred by the Labor DEPART
ment to the State Department as was
customary where the matter Of waiv-
ing the passport restrictions was in
volved.
Labor officials said the only way in
which the O'Callaghan case could
have reached the State Department
was through action of the inspector
in charge Of immigration at Norfolk.
by mistake" The Labor Department
they said. did not recognize transfer
OF jurisdiction to the State Depart. -.
ment by this act of the inspector.
When Mr.. O'Callaghan arrived In
spector Edwin b. Schmucker at Nor
folk was said to have called the De-
partment of State by telephone and
later to have sent a letter Of expIana
tion which labor officials thought
Assistant Secretary Smith must have
had in mind in saying that the Depart
ment of Labor had referred the case TO
the State Department.
Will Not Consider Case,
Undersecretary Davis of the State
Department has said that he would
not take the case under adyisement
until brought formally to his at
tention through proper channels /"
When Secretary Wilson ordered release
of the Irish official on parole, however,
Mr. Davis is understood to have con.
c,uded that he might take the case up
on the basis of its report from the i'm
migration inspector.
Should the Department of Labor In
sist upon full Jurisdiction, it is known
that the State Department is consid :
ering the advisability of asking the
Department of Justice for an indict :
ment against Mayor O'callaghan for
violation of criminal statute pro-
hibiting entering the United States
without a passport.

VAST SUM IN TAXES
At STAKE IN COURT
Arguments Begin in Case
Which May Force U. S. Re-
turn of Income Levies.

Arguments were begun today in the
Supreme Court in the Invested capi-
tai CASE characterized by Solicitor
General Frierson as 'the most i'm
portant legal suit from the stand
point of government finances in a
decade" Whether the government
will be forced to return hundreds of
millions of dollars paid as income
taxes depends on the outcome.
The immediate cause at issue before
the court is the appeal of the La Belle
iron works from a ruling of the bu-
reau of internal revenue refusing to
allow it to treat as invested capital
the value of ore lands which it had
purchased in 1904 for $19O,OO0, and
which by 1917 had increased to $780,
100000.
Paid Tax Under Protest.
The government agents maintained
that the increase in realty was
profit" and should be taxed as such.
its capital invested and claimed the
normal deduction of per cent, pay
ing under protest the additional tax of
S1.0S1, 600.
The question as to whether stock
dividend is taxable arose in a new
form in the present case the in
creased value of the ore lands hav-
ing been represented on the books of
the corporation, according to tine gov
ernments brief, since 1912 by stock
issued as a stock dividend"
The wide interest displayed in the
case in the business world was illus
trated by the number of requests for
permission to appear as friends of
the court" Those granted permis-
sion to file briefs included the Long
Bell Lumber Company of Kansas City.
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association and the Kansas City
Structural Steel Company.
"Like Herd Of Cattle"
Increased value of the ore lands is
comparable to the increase which oc-
ours in the value of herd of cattle,
which, when purchased, included a
number of calves, the appellant ar
gued. Profits" was defined to the
court as the actual net amount of
gain made by a business between any
two dates
The appellants theory is that the
capital invested in it's ore lands is
not what it paid for them, but is to
be measured by the present value of
the lands" Mr.. Frierson said, but the
government contends on the other
hand that the act clearly defines the
invested capital as the amount re-
ceived in exchange for it's shares Of
stock plus any paid in or earned sur
plus used in the business"

MYSTERY IN BRANDING.
Alabama Students Who Suffered
Known Only to Physicians,

TUSCALOOSA. Ala. January T.
Mystery surrounding the reported
branding of two University of Ala
bama students Wednesday deepened
today when preliminary investiga-
ton by college authorities failed to
reveal the identity or whereabouts of
the injured men, according toNa state-
ment from the presidents office.
A physician who was called to treat
the students after they were branded.
late in the night. refused to divuIge
the names of his patients and the
student body appeared without knowl-
edge concerning the affair." The
physician admitted that each man had
been branded with a hot instrument
on the hip and that painful wounds
had been inflicted.
College authorities stated that It
had been impossible for them to de-
termine so far whether the men were
branded by a fraternity "or some
other society,"" The authorities held
to the belief that the injuries, If in
ficted as reported, were caused by an
accident incident to some kind Of an
