$4,000 RANsIM ASKED ON PRIEST

Rev. Father Patrick HesIn Enticed
From Home On Plea OF Sickness
San Franclsco--A ransom of $780,
O00 was Friday asked for the return
Of Rev. Father E. Heslin of colmn,
in a letter to Archbishop Edward J.
Hanna, according to the police.
Rev. lIeslin. who had only been in
charge of the Colma parish for two
weeks, disappeared Tuesday after he
had supposedly gone to hear death
/ bed confession and administer last
/. rites.
Archbishop Hanna turned the letter
over to the authorities, who believed
that Rev. Heslin is being held in the
country somewhere between Colma
and Salada beach.
The letter stated that the exact con-
. ditions on which the priest would be
released would be made known last
night by telephone call, but no such
call was received
1t is thought possible the kidnappers
hoped to obtain a large ransom from
the Knights of Columbus, who have
been in session here.
1t is also considered possible by the
police that the demand for the ran
som was made by swindlers, and not
those having anything to do with Rev.
Heslin'S disappearance.

EVADERS Of TAXES
PAY S2O,0O0,0OO
ROUNDUP OF THOSE WHO TURN
ED IN FALSE INCOME RE-
TURNS.

Washington, July 19.-ApproXi-
mately $20,00O,000 was added to the
government revenues during the fis-
cal year just ended through recov-
cries from false and fraudulent in
come tax returns, Commissioner
Blair announced today.
Indictments have been returned
during the year in every section of
the county, he said, $zd many Jail
sentences have been imposed, rang
ing from 60 days to year, in addi-
tion to the fines and penalties, which
were also assessed.
Fraud up the revenue by way of
filing false and fraudulent tax re-
turns appears in many unique ways"
Mr.. Blair said, "some taxpayers are
extremely crude i'm their methods
and refuse their taxes by merely
emitting large items of income from
their returns. Thus, in one instance,
a prominent merchant in one of our
larger cities owned and operated two
stores. For three years straight he
omitted entirely from his returns the
income of one of the stores.
"In another instance a prominent
man received approximately one-half
of his incomes as salary from a cor
poration of which was president and
of which corporation he owned prac-
tically all the stock. The corpora
tion took this salary as a deduction
and a necessary expense: the man
himself omitted to report this sal
ary, never thinking that the corpor-
atoms return would be checked
against his individual return
"Manipulations of the inventory
are not infrequently found and these
can always be checked accurately by
the examiners and no business of
any size can keep accurate books and
at the same time manipulate inven-
tories"

STATES LEGAL MACHINERY SET
In MOTION.

Pierre, July 1.-TWO murders
charged to the /. w. w. in this state
in the past 48 hours, has started the
whole legal machine Of the state at
work to suppress this organization.
The departments of the state, sher-
iff and attorney general are being
called upon by local authorities for
assistance and vigorous action
against the members of the organi-
zation is under way, with rough
treatment. About three years ago
this organization was practically
ousted from the state until this year,
but they are coming in numbers again
and another campaign will be put in
effect.
Assistant Attorney General Sickel
declared sheriffs may require assist
ance to cope with the 1. w. w. men
ace under code section 1856, and
should enforce sections 1866 to 3647
relating to criminal syndicalism, and
1882 to 9724, prohibiting riding on
trains without payment Of full fares.
They should disarm the men and ar
rest all law violators, he says.
He further states tha tthe legal de-
partment of the state will be back of
any enforcement of laws to break up
"this criminal organization" and
that it is the duty of law officers to
provide protection to persons and
property, and that while this may en-
tail considerable initial expense a
proper enforcement of the laws from
the start will prevent continuance
of the work of the organization
throughout the summer.
