WINTER, CONQUEROR
OF NORTHWEST, is
COMING SOUTHWARK
~ Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Still holding the
northwest in chilling grip of sub-zero
temperatures, winter continued its be-
lated advance today into the southland,
causing marked drops in temperature
as far south as Texas and calling
forth predictions of colder weather in
the Lake region, the great Central val
leys and the east Gulf states.
In the upper Lake region, the zero
and sub-zero weather was accompanied
by 6o-mile wind driving before it a
snow storm that v9tually tied up ship
ping.
Reports indicated that the cold wave
still centered in North Dakota Havre
and Williston, n. D., recorded the cold
est temperatures in the country last
night, the mercury going past six be-
low zero.
The east did not suffer from the un-
usual cold prevalent in the northwest,
temperatures there ranging from 26
to 20 degrees above zero.
Real summer weather in Texas early
today gave way to the first breath OF
winter; the thermometer dropping sew
eral degrees throughout the state.
The cold wave still obtained in the
northern portion of the Rocky Noun
tain region with prediction of rain OF
snow and cooler weather supplanting
the mild weather that had prevailed in
the southern Rocky Mountain region
! for the mast few davs.

OF WEALTHY ITALIAN

contractor, was partly wrecked early

ing letters during the last ten days,

Robbers Use Truck
to Garry Off Loot
From Boston Store

BOSTON, Ind, Dec. 6.-Thieves
who entered the A. S. Nelson hard
ware store here securing between
$500 and $500 worth of loot early
Tuesday morning, certainly had no
fear of detection or being foiled in
their attempt ait robbery for they
backed up their auto truck, entered
the front door and left only when they
had about all their fancy dictated.
That the robbers felt no concern is
evidenced by facts pieced together
during the two days the authorities
have been working on the case. As
near as can be learned the men with
the truck made their visit to Mr.. Mel
sons store some time between and
3 O'Clock Tuesday morning, and when
they were ready to depart had gone

good-humoredly Wednesday in discus
sing his loss, "for they took IS rifles
and shotguns and about 10000 rounds
of ammunition In addition m fhic
they took about 100 pocket knives, a
large number of silver table spoons,
teaspoons and other fares, not forget
ting to make number of alarm
clocks part of their haul"
Entrance to the store was gained
by forcing the front door. The fact
that garage is located next door to
the hardware store is believed by Mr.
Nelson to account for the ability OF
the night marauders to run Their
truck about the neighborhood without
arousing the suspicion of citizens liv.
ing near the store. Persons living
close to the store say they heard an
engine running early Tuesday morn
ing but believed the noise to come
from the garage.
Mr.. Nelson's experience with thefts
is not limited to the one discussed
however, for he said Wednesday that
his store had been entered three times
before, the most recent of which was
about year ago when only small
amount OF goods was secured
Neither he nor local authorities an
nounce any clues likely to prove val
liable in apprehendfng the thieves.

ers for international control of the

who seem clearly Ear from being
agreed with the Turks as to how the
straits problem shall be solved. The
Turkish position is apparently under
going a change, possibly due to the
fact that it was realized that the Rus
sian plan for control by Turkish war
ships would make II imperative for
Turkey to build a navy.
The American position was present
ed by Ambassador Richard Washburn
Child, declaring for the freedom of
the straits and the Black Sea tc mer-
chant vessels and warships of all ma
tions both in peace and in war, and
opposing one power control.
Ambassador Child said after the
meeting that the statement of the
American position was worked out
quite independently of Lord Curzon's
statement which he never heard un-
til it was presented today. The am
bassador declared the foreign secre-
tarys statement impressed him as
quite liberal and not in conflict with
the American position.

NO ADDITIO,,AL U. S.
TAX TO BE NEEDED
IS MELONS REPORT
By JAMES T. koLeERT

~ SNfUGS IN0G0Eh
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon today inform
ed congress that no additional federal
taxes will be necessary during the COM
ing year, if a policy of rigid economy
is enforced.
In his annual report on the financial
operation of the government during
the last fiscal. year, the secretary
strongly urged one reduction in taxes
"a so per cent cut in the present sur
tax levies on big incomes. The pres
ent maximum surtax rate is so per
cent. which applies to incomes of $780,
900 year and over. Mellon suggested
that the maximum be fixed at 25 per
cent, and the other rates on incomes
below 100000 reduced accordingly.
Taking direct issue with the farm
bloc which was largely responsible for
the present rates, Mellon asserted that
the high levies are restricting business
expansion and that just as much reve-
nue. could be obtained by cutting them
in half.
Features of Report.
Other outstanding points of the sec
retary's report were:
1.-The country already is suffering
from a scarcity of labor, due to immi-
grafton restriction and the general re-
sumption of industrial activity, with
/ the consequence of higher wages than
| last year and greater manufacturing
costs.
2-The railroads are suffering from
undermaintenance and inadequate
equipment. and are unable to meet the
demands of business.
3-Farm products are selling too
low at the farm and too high at the
distributing centers.
4-The country has increased its
gold supply more than $1,000,O00,00C
during the last two years and this has
tended to inc ease speculation and un
natural expansion of business.
Foreign Markets Endangered.
5-The unsettled condition in Europe
is endangering the foreign markets fol-
many of our products, and business in
! this country cannot progress without
foreign markets.
6-The treasury believes by keeping
its house in order it can best aid Eur
ope at the present time.
Further issuance of tax-eXempt
securities, which now total approx
mately S1I 900 ,000,000 and are increas
ing at the rate of 81 1000, 600, 900 yeal

Foulke is Expected
to Urge Dry Agents
Under Civil Service
,ALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON, Dec. Cone of the
principal speakers at the annual con-
vention of the Civil Service Reform
League, to be held in Washington
Thursday and Friday, this week, will
be William Dudley Foulke of Rich
mond, Ind, civil service commissioner
during the Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Foulke will discuss the question
of prohibition enforcement. 1t is an
ticipated that he will advocate the ap-
pointment of enforcement officers un-
der the regulations of the civil service
commission.
1t is the contention of many govern
ment officials that the lax enforcement
of the prohibition law is due in large
measure to the irresponsibility and in
competency of large number of the
federal prohibition agents. The larger
number of these men. it is said, owe
their appointments to their political
activities.
Many Change System
The question of prohibition enforce
ment was thoroughly discussed at re-
cent cabinet meeting and it was re-
ported that the president expressed
concern over general and fragrant vio-
Iations of the Volstcad act No one
will be surprised if an executive order
is issued in the near future placing
the appointment of prohibition enforce
ment officers under the civil service.
1t will not be a popular order with
many politicians, however. They have
found these offices choice plums to
pass around as political rewards.
Two other major topics will be dis
eussed at the meeting of the Civil Ser
vice Reform League. They are:
The effect on governmental effici-
ency of appointment to positions in
| the federal service of veterans of the
! World war under the various soldier
| preference laws.
Urge Merit System.
| Means of securing the appointment
| of postmasters strictly on merit, to
the end that the post office department
may be taken entirely out of politics.
| A program of action to obtain adop-
! ton by congress of such amendments
| to laws dealing with these subjects as
are believed by the league to be neces-
sary will be formulated at the conven-
| ton, and campaign will be laid out
for the enactment of civil service laws
! in the 3S states, including Indiana,
still without legislation embodying the
merit principle.
