Pete Herman of New Orleans, former
bamtamwcight champion of the world.
in Albert Hall, London, last week, de-
cisively defeated Jimmy Wilde, long the
British idol. -.
The end came in the 18th round when
the referee interrcrrcd and stopped the
bout to save the little Welshman from
4 knockout.
Although in the last round Wilde three
times had been knocked through the
ropes, he still was coming back for
punishment when the referee caught
him in his arms, ended the battle and
gave the decision to the American lac.
The fight had been advertised as be-
ing the bantamweight championship OF
the world.
The men had agreed to weigh in 11S
pounds, but Herman was II IL pouncs
over the stipulated weight The first
first five rounds were in favor Of Wilde.
Then the advantage alternated until the
fifteenth, when Herman's weight began
to- tell on the Wclshrian =. -:
Early in the seventeenth q right to
| the jaw sent Wilde through the ropes.
This was twice repeated and the referee
ended the contest. sE: =
Herman surprised the crowd by his
boxing, which discounted Wilde's ag-
gressivcncss. The American fought a
sportsmanlike contest throughout and
was well received by the spectators.

sans, $1,000.

Heads of Families, $2,C0C; Single PcT-
sans, $1,000.
Single persons, though required to
file return il their net income for
1920 was $1,000 or moro, are, if they
arc the heads Of families, granted 4
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such a person is defined by
treasury regulations as "a person who

relationship. relationship by marriage.
or: by adoption, and whose right to eX-
ercise family control andi provide fo:

Such persons are allowed the cxemp-
tion of $4,000 granted a married per-
son. In addition, they are, allowed q
credit Of $500 for each dependent under
1S years OF age or incapable Of SELF
support because mentally or physically
defective.
Husband and Wife.
A married person living with hus-
band and wife cannot claim an addi-
tional $4,000 exemption as the head Of
a family. His or her exemption is
based upon the marital status, irrespec-
tive Of the support Of others living In
the same household. The additional
5000 for dependents does not apply to
the husband Or wife of a taxpayer. For
example, if married man supports a
father who Is incapable of self-support
he is entitled to the 5000 credit for such
person. If through force Of circum-
stances he supports his wife away
from home he is. entitled to the $4,000
exemption allowed Il married person,

BURKE roR INDIAN COMMISSIONER.

The appointment OF Charles H. Burke of
South Dakota, TO be commissioner OF Indian af-
fairs was disappointing to those who had hoped
that Oklahoma repubcanism, after Its demon
stra,ion last November. had at last reached tho
point where It would receive national recognl-
tion. Tho republican organization OF tho state
was solidly behind j. George Wright for the
place. And until few hours before the ap-
polntmcnt actually made. MIR. Wright ap-
peared certain to secure the plum
That no did not Is no reflection on him nor
those who espousod his cause. Rather is II
a result OF the old, old disease peculiar to this
state-faCtlonal Joaousles that prevent Okla
homnns from standing behind any organization
and strengthening 1t, and too willingness on
the part OF national leaders to listen to factloual
leaders, an unwilungncss to accord the existing
political organization the namo respect in Okla
homa that It is universally accorded in other
state, where such organization exists.
None OF which observations can he construed
