general police search is on for
Fay, who left the house on September
2l. after telling Mrs. c.. I. Hughes,
wife of the owner, that he had sent
his wife to hospital.
Mrs. l.. R. Boulanger, who with her
husband, a marine engineer, had room
across the hall from the Fays, was
found in Montreal last night, but could
throw no light on the murder. She said
she had last seen Mrs. Fay about Sep
tember 10, and later was told by the
housekeeper that Fay had informed her
pital. Mrs. Boulanger said she knew
Mrs. Fay but slightly, and was under
the impression that Fay belonged to the
merchant marine service.
At the time of her acquaintance with
Mrs. Fay Mrs. Boulanger had come here
to be with her husband between
voyages. He is now at sea, and when
he departed she returned to their home
in Montreal
The body of Mrs Fay had been in
its place of concealment among the
rafters week before it was found.
Mrs Hughes last saw Mrs. Fay alive
on September 21, when Fay remarked
that his wife had not been we'll and
ne wanted TO put her IN nOSpltal.
Next day, just before he left, he told
Mrs. Hughes this had been done.
The police did not make public the
letter pieced together from the frag-
ments found beside the body of the
victim. 1t was said. however, that it
urged Mrs. Fay not to worry since ait
will all be over in few months" De-
tectives believe the letter came from
a brother of the dead woman.
When found, the body was clad only
in nightgown. Nothing of any value

INCO M ES
OF $500
NOT TAXED

For the information and assist
ance of taxpayers in preparing
their income tax returns for the
year 1921, Clyde G. Huntley, col
lector of internal revenue, today
gave out statement in which he
briefly discusses the material pro-
visions of the new revenue act and
points out wherein those provis-
ions differ from the act under
which last years returns were
made.
"The exemption allowed for a
dependent is increased from. $500
to $400," explains Collector Hunt
ley. Married persons living with
husband or wife, and heads Of
families are allowed personal ex-
emption of $500 (instead of
$4,000 unless the net income is in
excess Of $4,000, in which case the
personal exemption is only $4,000.
The act provides that in no case
shall the reduction of the personal
exemption from $25O0 to $4,000
operate to increase the tax which
would be payable II the exemption
were $2500 by more than the
amount of the net income in ex-
cess of $4,000. This is to overcome
the disparity in the case of two
taxpayers, one of whom is Just
within the lower $4,000 exemption
and the other just within the
higher $25O0 exemption.
Exemption Permitted.
Single persons, and married
persons not living with HUSBAND
or wife, are allowed an exemption
Of $1,000. Persons having gross
incomes for 1921 Of $4,000 or over
are required to make return, re-
gardless of the amount of net in
come.
"The excess profits tax is re-
pealed as of January /, 1922. Thel
rates for 1921 are unchanged.
The surtax rates for the calen-
dar year 1921 are unchanged, ana
range from l per cent on the
amount of net income between
$4,000 and $4,000 to 65 per cent of
the amount Of net income in ex-
cess of $1,000,000. For the cal
endar year 1922 the surtax rates
range from / per cent on the
amount of net income between
$4,000 and $4,000 to so per cen,
on the amount by which the net
income exceeds 100000.
"Provision is made for the re-
