the pickpockets have taken to the
RESCUE Game" As eNcmplified at
a Bronx subway station at 4 o'clock
I'm the morning a few days ago, the
game is played in this wise
Surrounded by a group, easily rec
ognizable to the trained eye as con-
sisting of half dozen pickpockets
or gangsters, was an intoxicated in
dividual, who wore good clothes. a
diamond ring and suspicious watch
chain. Riding uptown, the gang had
surrounded him and one had applied
n vile epithet TO him. when he re-
sented the insult and wanted TO fight
his insulter, the latter disclaimed
applying the eplthet TO him, saying
he had meant II for one of bis COM
panions. This served the purpose OF
the gang, however, for II started an
argument, which they took pains to
Keep Just short Of blows. that lasted
until this passenger got off they
following aud renewing II on tho
station platform.
How the Trick Is Played.
They closed around him, appar-
emily TO beat him up. AT "A moment
when the first blow seemed about TO
fall a newcomer strolled up. appar-
emily casually, and asked what the
trouble was To the initiated eye he,
too, had all the marks of the under
world. when explanations started
he at once took the part of the vic
tim. lie eeemed to awe the gang
and when he took the inebriate by
the arm to lead him away, explain
ing TO that individual that he would
take care Of him, not a dissenting
voice was heard This, to one who
knows New York criminal gangs,
revealed the trick. for had the new
conner not been one OF their number,
they would have attac6ed him.
Bat the prey refused to be res
cued.
II en- take care Of m'self,' he an
nounCed in belliCose tones I'm an
American n en- lick tn bunch"
He shook off the OBTAINING arm
lurched toward the group OF silent
gangstors. There was no response TO
his challenge. Tho rescuer followed
and again taking his arm told him
there was no doubt he could clean
up the gang" but the best thing TO
do was 10 come come long with
him. FINALLY convinced that he had
sufficiently demonstrated his cour-
age and invincibility, the rescued
victim staggered away with his pro-
teCtor.
Later In the day he was richer In
experlence and poorer in pocket,
and the gang divided the 'iswag.'

Income Tax Collector Announces Chances

Special TO The World
OKLAHOMA CITY. - Acel G..
Alexander, collector OF internal rev.
enue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
announces important changes in in
come tax procedure directed by
Commissioner David II. Blair are
embodied in a treasury decision. ef-
fective December 16, which provides
for the prompt adjustment of claims
for refund and abatement OF feder-
al taxes. Heretofore. when an over
assessment or oYerpayment was dis
closed by the audit of an income
tax return, the taxpayer was inyit-
ed to file "a claim for the abatement
OF the overassessment oi the refund
of the overpayment; when received
the claim was registered and filed
away until reached in due course
for consideration. Because of the
large number OF such claims filed
delay in adjustment necessarily re-
suited.
After December IS. taxpayers will
not be advised of their privilege OF
filing claim for the refund OF taxes
which have been paid in excess N
amounts legally due but instead will
receive certificate OF oyerassess-
ment and q check in correction Of
the error or II an assessment Is
outstanding against the taxpayer, for
income or excess profits tax. the
overpayment will be applied as a
credit against the assessment and
the balance Immediately refunded
This will be OF distinct financial ad-
vantage TO both the taxpayer and
the government; II will do away
with the necessity for the taxpayer
filing claim for refund and will
greatly reduce the amount OF work
to be done by the bureau in the ad-
