Honored Sir:
There has been so much said about
the extension of time for paying tax

have not, as yet, made their returns.
I seriously doubt if it will be possible
for all of them to get in their returns
by Feb'y Goth. I want to extend the
time for making returns until March
1st without adding the so per cent
penalty. would appreciate it if you
will allow me this privilege. 1t will
surely be great help to the people.
Please let me hear from you re-
garding this matter at an early date
at very greatly oblige,
Yours sincerely,

MANY WARRANTS
FOR BOOTLECGERS

Lynchburg, Va, Feb. 17.-Ninety-
three warrants had been issued today
at South Boston for the arrest of
persons charged with violating the
prohibition laws. Police Headquarters
was crowded this morning with ar
rested persons who desired bail, and
most Of the defendants were released
on bonds ranging from $500 to $4,000.
Many others of those wanted were
said to have left town.
The round up of alleged bootleggers
followed an investigation covering
more than three months, according to
information received here tonight.
Mayor j. B. Wilbourne and the< ="
council started their "clean up cam
paign' by employing a Knoxville de-
tectlva agency to send men TO South
Boston. which is tobacco town II
Halifax county, and check up on the
sales of liquor. Having collected
what they regard as sufficient cvi-
0encc, the officials have now begun
the issuance Of warrants.
The names of those for whom war
rants have been issued have not been
made public. Even the names of those
pleading guilty have been withheld.
Several who threw themselves upon
the mercy of the court are said to
have received the maximum penalty.

SANDS" OFFERS
HIS ASSISTANCE

Los Angeles, Feb. 17.-Immunity
Tor Edward =. Sands from prosecution
on a charge of embezzlement pre-.
ferred against him last August by
William Desmond Taylor, murdered
film director, was promised tonight by
Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attor-
ney, provided Sands can prove his in
rocence of the Staying of Taylor and
can "untangle this murder mystery"
Mr.. Woolwine's promise to the miss
ing former butler-secretary to Taylor
was made in letter he addressed to
Edward F. Sands through the pub
fishers" in answer to q letter he re-
ceived and which purported to have
been written by Sands.
The letter which was signed SE. F.
Sands" was dated February Ii. The
writer declared he was living in Los
Angeles and asked whether if he sur
rendered and established his innocence
of the murder of Taylor, he would be
freed of the embezzlement charges.
A copy Of the letter follows:
"Dear Sir: This letter will probably
surprise you when you read it. l am
taking this liberty to write to you to
make matters more easy for you. In
the first place, I am Sands, although
friend of mine is writing this letter
under my direction. Mr.. Woolwine,
you need not look all over the world
for me for I am living right here in
Los Angeles and am reading the pa
pers every day. Concerning the Tay-
lor murder I will be frank with you,
Mr.. Woolwine. I have not had any
peace of mind since the murder, and
l have come to the conclusion that
the quicker this thing is settled the
better off we will all be. Now, Mr..
Woolwine, in the first place, did not
murder Taylor, but know who did it,
but what assurance have l from you
to know that you will accept my
story? None.
Therefore, / want a guarantee
from you that if 1 surrender myself
into your hands and if I establish my
innocence of the crime you will set me
free.
"If you will do this, Mr.. Woolwine,
can untangle this murder mystery
for you. You may answer me in any
Of the Los Angeles papers.
"Thank you.

NO CHANGE IN
STRIKE SITUATION

}. u. Lawson, member Of the inter
national general executive board of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electrical Railway EN-
ployees, is in Columbia at the pres
ent time and when asked yesterday if
his visit to this city was in connection
with the strike Of the street car en-
ployees he replied in the affirmative.
II am investigating the situation
and will likely remain in Columbia
several days. l have had conferences
with representatives of the union"
f. II. Knox, president of the Co.
lumbia Railway, Gas and Electric COM
any, said last night that no develop
ments had occurred during the day.
There is little possibility of city
council taking hand in the situa-
ton. AS is generally known, the
streets of Columbia belong to the
state of South Carolina. w. A. Cole
man, member Of city council, pointed
out that there was an ordinance which
provided that persons operating street
cars must have had at least Is days'
training under competent instruc-
tor. This ordinance would seem to
make it necessary for the street cars
to be operated by men who operated
them before the strike or by men
who have had such experience else
where.
Members of the conciliation board
have been in Columbia during the past
few days, though there has apparent
ly been little actual change in the
situation since the strike west into
effect.
Walking was again popular yester-
day, although the busscs and transfers
did fair days business. Auto driv-
crs did a heavy pickup" business and
most clerks and stcnographers arrived
at their Offices on time.
The strike is Of course causing in
convenience and some hardship TO
people who depend upon the trollcys
for transportation. Prospects for an
early settlement of the differences be-
tween the company and it's employees
were not bright yesterday and indi-
cations pointed to a strike of consid-
cradle duration.-The State.

THOUGHT GIVEN
TO RATIFICATION

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The admin
istration moved to hasten ratification
Of the arms conference treaties today
' by bringing quickly to the surface all
the principal issues involved in their
consideration by the senate.
In the foreign relations committee
Republican leaders completed a pre-
liminary survey Of opinion on every
one of the eight conference agree
ments laid before the senate with
the result that it became apparent
against what particular points the
opposition was preparing to direct it's
heaviest fire.
At the same time President Hard
ring canvassed opinion in the Ameri-
can delegation regarding the senate
request for full information on the
four power treaty negotiations and
! let it be known that his reply to the
resolution of request would be sent
to the capitol not later than Monday
{ He is expected to tell the senate in a
brief message that no stenographic
record of the negotiations was kept
yor was practicable.
q The committee discussion develop
I'D few surprises in their disclosure
,pf senate sntiment. In the view Of
the Republican leaders they confirm
'ed the expectation that the four pow
'er treaty would encounter greatest
Opposition, that the naval limitation
treaty would be questioned by some
senators becouse of its provision
against further fortifcation of Guam
And the Philippines and that the gen.
{kral Far Eastern and Chinese tariff
treaties might have some opponents
mong those who had hoped to see
he conference give China greater
measure of independence from for
&ign interference.
" The treaties relating to the island
|$f zap and to submarines and poison
las now are expected by the leaders
e % meet with the least opposition of
Ill and some senators believe thew
hay go through without dissenting
S vote.
Il 1t is also the belief of those who
IRE plotting the treaties through the
enate that none of them faces oppo-
lion strong enough to menace seri-
busIy ratification or even to assure
uops1on OF -rrservations.
On the other hand, reservation to
revent use of armed forces under
be four power pact without the ex-
ress authorization of congress has
kained so much support in the COM
hittee that some Republican men,
ers think it will be adopted there.
@ A second reservation talked of in
discussions of the four power treatv
you'd provide for automatic termina-
ion Of the agreement should any sig
atorv power violate 1t. Several
rafts Of each of these proposals have
been prepared by individual senator's
Although neither has been formally
Bresented in the committee or def

I beg to acknowledge receipt Of
yours of the 11th, requesting an ex-
tension of time until March 1st for

any good in the long run.
