CASHIER WILLARD
HAS Shown Up
Missing From the Bank of
Pink Hill Since March 3
George Willard Returned
Yesterday.

Kinston, March 19.-George S.
Willard, cashier of the Bank of
Pink Hill, absent since March 3rd.
returned here yesterday. Willard said
he intended to leave for a business
trip March 5th but that developments
caused him to leave ahead of that
date. He did not conceal his move
ments. He said he visited Baltimore
and Washington and other points.
Willard declared the supposition
that the Pink Hill bank was financ-
ing the embarrassed Willard Smith
Company, operating chain of
stores, was unfounded. The company
employs capital of more than $780,
900, he said, while banks deposits
do not exceed 100000. He asserted
confidence that "disinterested" aud
it of the banks books will show the
institution to be all right and that
the Willard Smith Company will ov-
ercome it's present conditions.

GOVERNMENT MAY
REFUND CERTAIN TAX
Court of Claims Holds That
Amount Must Be Deducted
From the Federal Estate
Tax.

Washington, March 19.-The feder-
al government yesterday lost an i'm
portant income tax suit when the
United States court of claims held
that every estate, the net amount
of which exceeds $4,000 and which
has been or will be hereafter COM
PEELED to pay the federal estates tax,
is entitled to deduct the amount SO
paid from it's income tax return.
The effect of the decision, should
it be sustained by the Supreme court
to which the government noted an
appeal will be that the government
will not only be compelled to re-
fund all taxes already collected from
estates under such circumstances but
will be unable to collect similar
amounts from estates in the future.
The court awarded a judgment for
$165, ,075 in favor of Senator Under
wood, of Alabama, Alan H. Wood
ward, and Reginald Barrister, as exc
cutors of Joseph H. Woodward, in a
suit to reverse the action of the
commissioner of internal revenue in
refusing to allow as a deduction un-
der the income tax law the sum of
$4S9,834 paid by the executors as
federal estates tax.

From California to Other

itators.
MINISTER'S STATEMENT

Toxic, March 19.-Japan will
stand firmly on her mandate on the
Island of zap viscount Uchida the
foreign minister declared at a meet
ing of the budget committee of the
diet today in reply to a question by
Representative Uharaha.
The letter asked whether the at
titude of Great britain and the coun-
sci of the League of Nations and the
counsel of the United States did not
affect Japan's interests and whether
Japan intended to insist on her
rights under the zap mandate. Rep
resentative Uharaha said aEti-Japan
agitation in the United States was
spreading to other states besides
California which he said was proba =,
bly, due to the fact that California
agitators were communicating with
persons similarly disposed in other
states.
He also charged John S. Stephen
of Chicago as carrying ON an anti
Japanese movement.

ABOUT 10000 NAMES

Washington, March ia last
opportunity for select1ve service
law evaders t. escape broadcast pub
lication of their names as deserters
during the world war, has been given
by Adjutant General Harris, of the
Army. Persons who have reason to
believe that they will be charged
with evading the draft but who did
not actually do SO, the Adjutant Cen
eral announced may e. 'pe the odium
of being publicly branded as a de-
serter unjustly by communicating all
the facts of the case to him without
delay.
The final check of the draft evader
lists is now being completed by for
mer members Of the local draft
boards. By the end of the month the
War Department expects to begin
making the lists public through the
newspapers and by furnishing
copies to city, State and federal po-
Legion and other patriotic societies.
In addition, Secretary Weeks will
ask Congress when it reconvenes to
provide funds to enable the War De
partment to pay a reward of fifty
dollars to any person who delivers
to the military authorities a deserter
from the draft. Funds on hand now
do not permit paying the full re-
ward.
The departments list of draft
tevaders which as originally reported
to the Provost Marshal General num-
bered nearly 100000 names, has
been reduced by careful checking and
by the apprehension of evaders to
approximately 10000 names. The
final lists by draft districts are now
being tabulated by the Adjutant
/ Generals Office.
