 Such was the remarkable statement of Judge Harsh, of the Criminal court, here, when arguments were concluded by lawyers in the case of Bessie Lee Sisk. a young woman tried for the alleged murder of Herbert Bingham, musician.
 The jurors, nodding assent to the Courts remarks. did not leave the jury box to return their verdict.

 Judge Harsh continued by declar- ing that he dad no believe there was a chance for conviction Of the young woman on the evidence prese. .~1 and that there was slight chance that the Appellate court would permit a yer dict to stand against her. It would ceed with the case, he declared, add ing that if no member of the jury felt to the contrary a verdict of &C., quittaI might be returned.

 Labor Zs Decreasiza0

London. May 3EBritish labor has come upon hard times. UnionisIn i'll Great Britain now is undergoing a period of severe test. due largely to after effects of the war and conse- quent unemployment. Organized la bCr was hard hit in Great Britain dur ing the war and after the war the great unSubsiding wave of unem- ployment came along.
 The coffers of the unions were not full at the end of the war, and during the past four years there have not been great rep1enishments of the union funds, despite the fact that there have been very heavy drains up- On the treasuries of organized labor. unemployment relief has depleted the treasurieS of some of the unions, and there Is now great struggle to keep he organizations alive.
 Labor leaders are inclined to inti- mate that this state of affairs is pleasing to capital, and they even hint that capital is helping the un- employment situation along in order that unionism may be crushed.
 The labor movement in politics is also under stress. Every election re- turn in the past six months has shown a tendency to decrease the strength of the labor party. This weakening is in a large measure due to the communist movement, which has linked itself with the labor m ovement in many districts and has brought about a. combination of op- position parties to fight communism.

INCOME TAX BLANK
GOES TO PRINTER
For Incomes Not Above Five Thousand
Dollars. Million OF Copies.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Drafting of the
now 1921 income tax return form for
Incomes OF $4,000 or less has been
completed by the tax simplification
board, Of which J. III. Beal, Of Pitts
burgh Is chairman, 1t was said tonight
at the treasury.
The new forms, which are regarded
as much more simple and less con-
fusing than those in use last year,
have gone to the printers and proDa..
bly, will BIO ready for distribution about
January Is. From 100000 to 20,-
100000 copies OF the new forms are
being printed and 1t is estimated that
80 freight cars will be required to
send them to internal revenue collec-
tors throughout the country. Efforts
to simplify Form 1040--which Ia the
form used by the average Taxpayer
has resulted in reducing the number
OF pages from six to four and in elm
mating the block system Of return
utilized in 1920, which was said to be
confusing to the great majority of
taxpayers who had income from only
one or two sources. The internal rev.
enue bureau estimated 70 per cent.
or the persons using the $4,000 form
have income from only salaries and
wages and possibly interest and have
| few deductions to make from that in
come.
The new form will require taxpay-
ers to list ON tho first page the
amount OF income received from a
number OF sources and then form the
total OF these amounts to deduct tho
amounts to which they arc legally en-
titled, tho balance being the taxable
net income.
Tho second page will require GER
tain information from Persons re-
ceiving income from specified sources,
such as a business carried on by the
taxpayer, and the third and fourth
pages are devoted to Instructions.
BY reducing the form to four pages
tho board has eliminated the dupn-
cate or work sheet" o. the 1920 form
but 1t was explained ifj taxpayers wish
to keep a copy OF thei- returns suffi-
cient forms will be Available for dup
licates to be obtained.t i, a3 LUX

Contracts Disclose that American Fer.
tilizer Makers Agree to Buy rs Per
Cont Of Needs From Germany.
Washington, Dec. ga copy Of a
contract entered into by 34 American
manufacturers OF fertilizers with the
potash syndicate Of Germany by which
the former bind themselves to pur-
chase Is per cent Of their potash re-
duircmcnts from the latter was read
today in the record Of tho tariff hear
ings OF the senate finance committee
The contracts were produced by 8.
ID. Crcnshaw, vice president of the
lVlrginia-Carolina Chemical company
OF IGchmond, Va, and in ordering it
placed in the record Senator Smoot
(Republican) Of Utah, said he wanted
to show to senator's that it not only
cvaded all anti ?dumping laws passed
by congress but also all American
anti-trust laws.
IF that contract can stand" Scna-
tor Smoot declared, Germany will see
that the potash industry in the Unit
ed States will cnver be developed"
Mr.. Crcnshaw, whose company is a
member of the party to the contract,
said the instrument is so drawn
that the American manufacturers
could buy 20 per cent Of their
supply from French or domestic sourc
es. 1t d '"lopcd, however, that the
Ameican firm would got lower rate
per ton if they bought their entire sup
ply from the German syndicate than
If they bought only IS per cent from
that source.
Arguments against a tariff on pot
ash were presented also by Represun-
tative Benham (Republican) of In
diana, spokesman for New Jersey
farmers, and S. A. Houston OF New
York city, representing the German
potash syndicate. Representatives Of
the industry will be heard tomorrow.
Mr. Benham, who said that before
he was elected to congress his prin-
cipal vocation was 'thc doctoling OF
sick FARMS" told the committee that
nc '" ttS IL HlBu pTOlcCllOnlSt Tor any
promising American industry but that
he had been unable to find any official
or other evidence that the American
potash producing industry was "a
promising one"
Spokesman for the New Jersey farm
crs and Mr. Houston emphasized what
they said would be the cost to the
American farmers and finally to the
consumers Of a duty on potash. The
New Jersey men estimated that the
duty would add cost Of 81 an acre
to the production Of potatoes in their
state and they argued that In the pres
ent condition Of agriculture no addi-
tional burdens should be placed on
thc farmers.
Mr.. Houston told the committee that
the German law prohibiting the sale
Of German potash abroad at a price
lower than obtaining in Germany Of
fectually prevented the dumping of
potash into the United States or any
other country.
