REVERSESOR3E
OF L0NERGOUR
Tucker County Constable
Not to Pay Money
to Daughter

CHARLESTON, March 14-The
supreme court today reversed the
judgment Of the circuit court in
Tucker County ordering Jesse
Constable to pay Sc a month for
support Of his daughter, Mary
Elizabeth Constable. on the
ground that 1t had not been shown
in the trial at which Constable
was found guilty Of nou-support
that the child was in destitute
and necessltious circumstances"
The finding Of the court was
that the little girls mother had
been granted a divorce. had re-
married and that the child had
been taken into the home Of the
step-father and cared for there.
The case was remanded to the
lower court.
A judgment returned In Miner
al County for S104 against the
Emmons Coal Mining Co., and in
favor OF L. w. Myers was affirm
ed. The lower court had awarded
this amount to Myers in payment
for two $50 Liberty bonds depos-
tied In the company's safe after Its
superintendent, John Summeryille
had signed a 500 bond required
by a justice OF the peace, before
whom Myers appeared. According
to the evidence tho Liberty bonds
were missing when Myers sought
their return on discharge OF his
obligation, and the court held that
since Summerville acted as Atfrety
not from perGonal reasons, but
because Myers was employed as a
blacksmith by the company at a
time In 1918 when mine employees
were hard to obtain, the RESPONSE
bility fell righttully on the COM
pany.
Other decisions handed down by
the court today follow:
Homer Roush against Rosa
Roush, Tucker County, reversed
and decree entered for defendant;
State against John Golden, Miner
al County, verdict set aside and
new trial awarded; Duquesne
Lumber Co., against Keystone
Manufacturing Co. verdict set
aside and new trial awarded the
defendant; Martha Buick. admin
istratrix against P. L. Milkint and
another, reversed and decree for
defendants; John-Thayer against
James A. Holley, Kanawha Coun-
ty, affirmed; G. J. Taylor against
Strum Lumber Co., reversed and
remanded; Peters Mashuawas
against A. r. Bennett, Tucker
County affirmed. |

Mamie Smith Expected
to Set New Record Here

Box office receipts only rlvalled
by AL Jolson have been the result
of Mamie Smiths appearance in
the cities throughout the, country.
In one city alone, Mamie drew over
,$9,000.00 In one night. Her re.
ceipts have reached $4,000 and
$4,000 on many occasions and have
been limited only by the capacity
Of the houses. It Sis5doubtful II any
colored star has ever drawn audi.
ences night after night OF these pro.
portions, the interesting feature
being that a large percentage OF the
audiences are composed Of white
people.
The advance sale OF tickets at
the Hippodrome Theater. where
Mamie Smith and her Jazz revue
will be the attraction tonight and
tomorrow afternoon and evening,
also indicates record; breaking re.
ceipts in Fairmont, AT 3 o'clock
this afternoon, there were only a
few choice seats left in the lower
floor OF the theater for the perform:
ance tonight, and the advance sale
for the two shows tomorrow was
far greater than usual for special
attractions at the local theater.

incomes themselves arc averaging
far less than last year.
Though this will mean a con-
siderable decline in the total
amount of income tax collected"
said Mr.. Teeter, II am not in a pc.
sition at present to state what pc:
cent Of decrease there will be.
Since I did not serve in this ca
pacity last year, I am not as ia.
miliar as l might wish to be with
the 1920 tax return figures"
That the amount and number OF
returns being filed are lower in
nearby sections Is evidenced by u
statement issued recently by G. D.
Tanner, deputy collector for Nor
ongalia and Preston counties, iE
which he estimated that q 10 per
cent. decrease In his district was
expected. Mr.. Tanner gave the
general business depression anC
unemployment as the reason for
the state Of affairs.
Extension Granted.
While March is is the last daS
allowed for the filing OF Individual
returns, an extension OF time until
June Is has been granted all per.
sons who file corporation returns.
This period OF grace was grantee
by the government on account OF
the delay In printing and distribut,
ing the corporation return blanks
All internal revenue offices have
not yet received complete supply
of the blanks.
This ruling requires, however,
that the corporation must file ten.
tatiVe return, stating the estimated
tax, and sending a check for at
least one-fourth OF that amount.
No formal application for this ex.
tension need be need, said Mr..
Teeter, though he added that a let.
ter should accompany the returned
blank. 3,
The usual eleventh hour rush has
already started at the local office,
and tomorrow one may expect t.
see the lines Of would.be taxpayers
extend far out into the corridors
OF the court house. There was a
heavy rush in filing today, which
continued 10 grow greater as the
