Walsh, collector of inter- nal revenue, Hartford, relative te the decision of United States district court of Connecticut in the Brewster case, in which it was held that gains and profits realized from the sale of capital assets is not taxable income The United States attorney for Con- necticut has been authorized to per- feet an appeal to the supreme court of the United States for review 6f the decision. Since congress, under the provisions of the income tax actz of 1918, 1916 and 1918, has directdd the taxation as income of such gains and profits the bureau will continue to collect the tax thereon. unless ard until the supreme court shall hola that provision of law to be unconsti~ tutional. /< E.

Black-Walnut Trees as Memorials

Planting of black-walnut trees as memorials to soldiers is recom- mended by the United States De- partment of Agriculture. It is pointed out that the black walnut played a valiant part in the World War. The wood was used for gun stocks and airplane propellers, and the nut-shells contributed carbon for gas masks, while the kernels were used in many delicacies for the boys in the trenches. Demand for the wood for war purposes depleted the number of fine old trees, and this method is suggested for filling their places.

FUGITIVE PRESIDENT
Is TRACED TO MEXICO

Chicago, Aug. 2.--warren G.
Spurgin, fugitive president Of the
defunct Michigan Avenue Trust
company. has been traced to Mex
leo, it was announced by the state S
attorneys office tonight. He is
believed to be in Chihuahua city
A report Of the pank examiner,
who has been working on the
books of the bank today, indicated
that the loss may total $1,124,36S.
1t was hoped, however, that this
amount may be reduced by the de-
termination of the value of loans,
bonds and stocks now listed as
doubtful.
At the close Of business, July 20,
according to the examiners re-
port, Spurgin had the banks books
in balance. In his showing of as
sets, however, he mad included
items totaling s1,595,495, which
the examiners now lists as doubt
full, or actually worthless. This
sum was reduced py the discovery
of assets.
Spurgin. it was said, kept the
books in apparent balance by sub
shutting forged or dubious secur-
tiles for one of undoubted value
and by memoranda which indi-
Gated certain securities were in the
bank vaults when he had confis-
Gated them.

SYDNEY CHAPLIN is
AT THE "B" THEATER IN
"KING, QUEEN, JOKER

Costumes of gorgeous colors
worn by the King and his attend
ants and made in his own factory,
the Sassy Jane Manufacturing
company, will be one of the fea-
lures of Sydney Chaplin's Para
mount picture, King, Queen,
Joker" which Is at the "B" thea
ter today and tomorrow.
Mr.. Chaplin is interested in
many business propositions, and
an enthusiastic booster for his in
dustries. The Sassy Jane estab-
lishment is owned by him and
therefore is pretty close to home.
The Sassy Jane company was
the idea of a young woman, and
Mr.. Chaplin was quick to see mon
ey making advantages In the dress
factory. The business Is growing
by leaps and bounds. Starting
with sixty machines, the company
now has double that number
working early and late to supply
the demand.
Believing that he could secure
exactly what he desired in the way
of costumes for his first comedy
production from his own factory,
Mr.. Chaplin placed his order and
surveyed with pride the work
turned out. Due to the rush of
business at the plant, 1t was neces-
sary for the operators to work
overtime in getting out the cos
tune order, but the results justi-
fled the extra trouble and expense.
