QUESTION Gan unmarried
individual receives during the ytar
sainry amounting to $500, dividends
5000 and insurance from his faith.
.er's death OF $1,000. Should he
file a return?
A. The insurance is not taxable
and ned not appear on the return,
His net income, however, Is $1,000
and he must file a return. As the
dividends are not subject to normal
tax this leaves only 5000 subject to
normal tax and his personal exemp,
ton is $1,000, therefore he has no
tax to pay.

AIRPLANES CAPTURE
WHISKY SCHOONER
Crew of Fl Offers No Fiqht
in Initial Sky Raid on
Liquor SmuggIers

Miami, Fla.-The British schooner
Annabelle was seized off Jewish
Creek about 40 miles south of Miami
with cargo of II 800 cases of whisky
aboard, by airplanes of the prohibi-
tion squadron operating out of Miami
and adjacent coastal towns, it was
learned from officials here
The entire crew of 21 men was cap
tured and is now being held under
surveillance, while the confscated
liquor is under guard aboard the
schooner, which is anchored off Jew
fish. The crew offered no resistance
when the flying machines, with their
machine guns pointing at the schoon-
er from all directions, swooped down
on the vessel
Eleven airplanes, painted a battle
ship grey, gradually made their way
down the coast, it became known
here, one of them under the command
of Captain Rogers, stopping at Miami.
Some of the others stopped at St.
Augustine, Jacksonville, Charleston,
and other points
Advance information was furnished
by scouts aboard sub -chasers, which
got the location of the Annabelle. A
number of the planes gathered near
Jewish and at a signal swooped sim
ultaneously upon the alleged whisky
carrier
A Captain Johnson, who brought
the report here, stated the prohibi-
tion squadron was equipped with a
new code which no other wireless ap-
paratus could interpret and this is
used exclusively in the sending and
receiving of official messages In the
stern of each airplane is a Browning
machine gun, manned by expert gun

OPIUM DENS RAIDED
IN N. Y. CHINATOWN
Federal Agents and Police Seize
Quantity of Drugs After
Thrilling Battle

New York.-Rudely disturbed in the
peace that for years has brooded over
its crooked streets and mysterious
dwellings, Chinatown awoke to the
sound of pistol volleys and the rend
ing crash of barricaded doors as po
lice raiders stormed a succession OF
long-suspected opium dens
Eight persons were arrested, includ-
ing a woman, whose back was thought
to have been broken in a leap from a
second-story window. A man, whose
plunge for freedom she initiated, was
only slightly injured
Two of the storming party had mar
row escapes from injury. Bullets
fired by unseen defenders passed
through the hat of a detective and
grazed the shoe of federal narcotic
agent
Large quantities of opium, with
pipes and other paraphernalia were
confiscated
Under command of Ralph Oyler
chief of the federal narcotic division,
a score of police and government
agents first surrounded a suspected
den on Mott street, in the heart CT the
Oriental quarter.
Two Of the party were stationed on
the roof. with others on guard at fire
escapes and other means of egress,
while the main squad, led by Oyler,
launched sudden onslaught on the
front door. WELDING heavy axes,
they chopped their way through the
door, which was strongly barred and
studded with iron.
AS the barricade yielded and crash
ed to the floor there was a Shrek
from within. With the first blows by
the attacking party those inside had
made for the fire escapes and John
Duff, aged II, and the woman, Ethel
Kelly, 40, had leaped from the railing,
striking on stone pavement 20 feet
below. Both were taken to Bellevue
hospital under guard.
The apartment, police reported.
was a typical opium Joint" equip
ped with tiers of wooden hunks
around the walls, and with empty or
half-flled drug tins strewn about, the
pungent fumes of cooking pellets ris-
ing from tiny alcohol burners.

Cigar Loaded With Llouor

Santa Barbara, Cal. - The "anti-
Volstead smoke" or alcoholic cigar"
has made it's appearance here. It's
producer, a Del Caro- cigar maker,
paid a fine OF $3.50 in police court,
following a plea of guilty to the
charge of having liquor in his posses
sion contrary to law The tobacco
leaves were saturated with liquor be-
fore rolling and wrapping. The cigar
thus treated does not contain a

although it was conceded that it car
