MAY ASK CONGRESS ID REFUND MONEY
Decision in SchWab Case May Cause Government to
 Return Taxes
Fly Associated Press

Washington, May 14.-Congress may be asked for an appropriation to enable the internal revenue bureau to make refunds of approximately s20,- 900 900 as a result of the recent de : cision of the supreme court in the Schwab case, Commissioner Blair an- nouneed tonight.
 The decision in that case, he OK plained, was to the effect that a transfer made in contemplation of death prior to September s, 1916, was not to be included in the gross rev. enue estate under the provisions of the revenue act of 1916.
 There has been much speculation. Mir. Blair declared, as to the amount of money the government will have to refund as result of the decision and one New York attorney was quoted in a published statement as placing the estimate between $f01,- 900, GOO and $200, 000,000.
 However he stated, 1t has been determined by careful survey that the amount to be refunded was ap- proximately $20000.o00, and while it is found necessary to do so Congress will be asked for an appropriation to permit the bureau to make the re- funds, it will not be necessary for estates to file claims, as the refunds will be made automatically as soon as funds are available.

On entering the administration building the public schools in the old Tutwiler home on Sark avenue the eye is focused automatically on a portrait of little Chrltobel Powell, great grand niece of the late James Powell, founder of Birmingham. It ia the work of Mir, Kate ogan Luke, the eminent Birmi. .gham artist, wife of John W. Luke Of the Southern rail- way.
 The child, who is 10 years of age, sits on mahogal.y table, her barred legs dangling and toes barely touch ing the floor. A dark blue kirt of short dimensions furnis..es delft con- trast for the flesh tints wondrously reproduced by Mrs. Luke. The back ground is another shade of blue. The dark brown eyes of the little girl har- monize with the exquisite coloring of the limbs, the skirt and the hair. She seems just to have returned fresh and joyous from play, the spirit of youth.
 Another portrait ts that of Gladys Powell. another niece of tn, founder. She is young woman. Here, instead of the usual set portrait with severe background. Mrs. Luke again pre- sents every detail of color In the beautiful flimsy things that women wear. The golden yellow of a scarf draped about the shoulders and the richness of color in the neck orna- ments and other pretty things with which a young woman decks herself are brought out with prodigal use of pigments that impart not only sug- gestion of life, but 2, life that is pulsiRg and awake to the world about.

 The officers ordered Lawson to un- button his shirt. and upon his doing so, it was disclosed that he had a chicken snake about five feet long coiled around his waist.
 Consternation reigned supreme in the warden's office when the officers and the prisoners arrived, and it was learned that Lawson's enlarged waist line was due to snake. The officers felt that the Jail was no place for a snake, and yet none of them wanted the task of removing it from the person of the prisoner. Finally Law son was commanded to remove lis strange pet. which he reluctantly did, and it was placed in a box, with q number of heavy weight on the top to safeguard it's escape.
 Lawson refused to state his reason for carrying the snake around wi.h him.

mure pictures of young women, one sitting in a bower of blooming shrub bery and another placing flowers in a vase. Mrs. Luke no only paints the woman. but she makes the dresses they wear seem alive by sprinklins them with suggestions of sun rays, and her surroundings are silyery, blue and golden combinations in keeping with the loveliness of woman.
 Her several still life pictures might not suit the realis,, because they are So intense, but they stir and they provoke admiration of the art with which the painter mas injected some of the painters soul--that which the artist imagination sees.
 None is surprised at the excellence of Mrs. Luke's work. Her paintings have been accepted Tn the leading ars exhibits in Philadeipnia, New York and San Francisco, and she has won many scholarships in eastern art leagues for excellence of her work One of these scholarships was a trip to Europe last year
 Many regard Mrs. Luke's miniature worl<Tfor which she has been long fa- nous, as among her st. Artists have pronounced that perfect. CT por- traits, such as that of the Powell girls, have provoked special interest on account of their departure from thN formal type. Their outstanding charm is that they seem real human beings.

real live interest going with several thousand sheep where We have none today.
 We have live little place here and are now prepared to say that we will have approximately TO- 900 breed ing ewes by August 1 here in very small territory"
 Mir, Beeler is an experienced sheep man. He ran sheep on the western range and has bought and sold sheep, bought and sold wool for more than ] 8 years and is experienced in every phase of the production and market ing of sheep. His associates In or- ganization of the state association include breeders and sheep showmen of experience.
 Mir. Beeler calls attention to the large decrease in sheep following de- mand for mutton during the war. In Montana the sheep industry has de- creased by 50 per cent. Mir. Beeler believes that Alabama can be made "the biggest sheep paradise on the face of the earth" Among his req sons for this conviction is this:
 Lambs Grow Eat
 There is natural foliage and Of lasting quality that makes a grazing proposition for almost an entire year compared with feeding enormous amounts of hay and grain in winters In the colder states"
 He says: T have seen lambs grown here, born after the st of January, and weighing so pounds by April 10, that had no care whatever other than tho privilege of running with the mother in the pasture, without shel- ter, and what feed the mother could find in the grass"
 Fine Quality of Wool
 MT. Beeier further says:
 Wool grown here is equal to or better than wool grown in the north west. for I have made a personal in- vestigation and know 1t to be a fact by making comparison of the wools."
 MT. Beeler refers with emphasis to the lamb crop as cash spring crop tiding over until the cash cotton crop in the late fall.
 BusinessIike Methods
 The association intends to pursue businessllke policies in securing loans and cooperative marketing and will mako a special effort to encourage interest in sheep culture throughout the state
 Statistics of the sheep industry in Alabama show that there were 347,- 900 sheep in 1880. S17,0oo in 1900, 143,000 in 1910 and 32,000 in 1921. The wandering dog has been charged with decrease in sheep raising. That evil does not exist in neighborhoods where sheep raising is a community affair. The stray dog automatically disappears through use of the shot gun.
 It is understood that the new as- sociation will make a speciality of de- veloping the sheep industry in com munities with the end in view of producing n community interest in it and thus insuring it's protection by common consent and without neces- sity of statutory laws.
