TREASURY GUNS
ON BACK TAXES
Mellon Sarts Intensive Campaign
to Receive Old Assessments.
MUNITIONS LEvIES ARE FIRST
Items OF 1917 Are Being Checked as
Statute Of Lii cations Is Involved
All Available Forces Of
Department on Job.

Washington, Nov. T.-All of the
available forces of the internal rev.
enue bureaus of the Treasury depart
ment have been thrown into an In
tensive campaign TO recover hundreds
OF millions OF back taxes due since
1917, before the statute of limitations
works on the claims involved.
A number of big corporations have
Just been brought TO book on claims
on tax arrears which represent under
payment OF munitions and excess
profits taxes or errors in tax returns.
Hundreds of such cases are still TO be
cleared up. Secretary Mellon said
that the settlements would have to be
made before 1923 or all the cases
would be taken to the courts In civil
actions TO protect the government.
Field forces OF the bureau have
been called Off frauds OF more recent
date so that all items of 1917 taxes
can be checked. the audits finally
completed and demands for payment
Of taxes due and penalties made
promptly.
Secretary Mellon said that 1t was
essential 10 clean up all munitions
taxes due before the beginning of
next year because OF the statute OF
limitations. All 1917 returns have
been canvassed and n big corps of
auditors is at work, many of them on
the books OF companies which made
millions in the boom days preceding
the entry Of the United States into
the World war. when Great Britain
and other European powers were buy
ing munitions OF every character as
fast as they could be loaded upon
ships.
Several cases are pending before
the tax revision board now, I'm each Of
which the amount claimed by the gov
eminent Is more than S1,OOO,000. The
claims run down 10 mere hundreds of
dollars. and while they have never
been tabulated. treasury officials say
the total will probably run into nine
figures.
No attempt has been made TO put
officials In jail for delinquency In tax
payments. No such course will be
taken unless deliberate frauds on the
government are shown. The board is
swamped with work and is putting
the oldest cases ahead.

REEVES Story Of Scandal
Of Many Years Ago.

There Is no necessity for any Sc

aristocratic quarter In London come
upon wealth of jewels and jewelry.
Some time ago this mansion was
bought by war proflteer after having
been the town house of landed fam
lily for many generations.
Somewhere within the walls of a
room which was the bOudoir of one
OF Its chateiaines lies not only a small
fortune In precious stones and gold
smiths work, but some heirlooms of a
ducal family. The chatelaine was very
lovely, but by no means strait-laced.
One afternoon, when visiting a friend.
she died suddenly. Her husband had
her boudoir shut up and refused to
have any search made for the Jewels,
which 1t then became known she had
been receiving from her ducal lover,
who was now much embarrassed by
reason Of certain of them being heir
looms In his family.
Not for three generations, and on a
distant branch of the aggrieved hus-
bands family succeeding to the prop.
erty, was the boudoir re-opened, and
though search was then instituted
nothing resulted. The fair lady's cache
remained undiscovered. If and when
the helrlooms come to light again 1t
Is certain the lawyers will profit by
the wrangling for possession Of them.

FEAT OF GIANT LOCOMOTIVE

These demonstrations represented

place Of firemen.
The following are details connected
with the largest demonstration train !:
The locomotive and tender weighed
449 tons and measured approximately
1915 feet in length. The train was COM

weighed 40 tons and measured 51h

Saving Power on RalIroada

Tests on the elevated roads and sub.

men by the installation of coasting-
clocks which indicated what part of
