mtted suicide and not been murdered.
but had died of carbon monoxide gas
generated by gas heaters. This theory;
formulated by the police, was accepted
by the Coroner of Westchester county.
The gas in the cooking oven and in the
coiled heater attached to the hot water
tank was burning when the bodies We're
found. The Investigators declare that
the flame did not consume all of the
gas, and that a portion of II seeped into
the other rooms and destroyed the oxy-
gen in the air The result was that
Cohen and his wife were suffocated. The
autopsy did not show any sign of vio-
lence or any indications that they had
swallowed poison.
Mrs. Samuel Cohen of 129 Vinyard
avenue, Yonkers, mother of the dead
man, declared last night that the death
of her con and his wife were due to
their inability to buy anthracite coal
for their range. They tried soft coal.

bought gas heaters and gas water

Mayor Hylan issued a statement yes

Fifteen thousand dollar year Hark-
ness and sixty thousand dollar year
Shearn have been brought up from the
rear by Cen McAneny to continue to
lombard the city with political propa-
ganda on behalf of the traction ring

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to-
day ordered a cleanup of pending tax
claims. This is expected to bring $780,
900, 900 into the Treasury and reduce
by that sum the deficit of s700,VO0, 600
for the fiscal year.
The Internal Revenue Bureau will
start settling a great mass of claims
which have clogged up the activities
of the tax appeals board The claims
involve hundreds of millions of dollars
in taxes assessed by the Government
against individuals and corporations
Commissioner Blair has recommended
to Secretary Mellon that the Govern
ment adjust all contested cases wher-
ever compromise is possible to end legal
procedure and stimulate revenues for
the Treasury.
Mr. Blair is satisfied that under pres
sure by the Government sufficient back
taxes can be collected to bring sub
stantial reduction In the deficit. Nearly
81 900 900, 900 is due the Government in
taxes. large amount is in additional
taxes levied by the Government after the
audits of the revenue bureau showed
that taxpayers had underestimated their
liability in returns filed with collectors
If Internal revenue.
Some of the Treasury experts declared
the war on tax evaders and new meas
ures TO clear tax cases long pending will
enrich the Treasury by perhaps $780,
600 900 before the close of the fiscal year.
1t is not improbable that the Govern
ment will find it necessary to make con-
cessions in some cases where the right
of collection has been stubbornly con-
tested. A number of large corporations
whose tax payments run into eight
figures each year are expected to well
come settlement rather than go to trial
on the issues involved. The bureau
never discloses details of such tax af-
fairs, but 1t Is said large enterprises are
expected to contribute a big share of the
back taxes counted on under the cleanup
program

That the ore movement for 1922
will show a marked increase over
last season, when the fleet moved
only %, 500, 1926 tons, is certain,
but the start will be slow and
chartering will not be active as a
large amount of ore will be carried
by boats having long time con

ment for all the freighters at the
opening, and if work at the coal
mines is suspended April /, ships
will be held in port until they can
get cargoes at the lower end of the
route.
The ore shippers are figuring on
a cut in lake carrying charges as
well as rail rates and handling
charges, and a reduction in prices
will be made. 1t will probably be
some time, however, before sales
are made and action taken in regard
to lake freights. With a good
supply of GREAT Lake Erie ports and
at furnace yards, there will not
be much demand for early cargoes
and late start is looked for.

May Close Beaver Season.

That the beaver season may be
closed by the Conservation Com
mission as a result of violations of
the law is probability, according
to W. L. Barber, chairman of the
Conservation Commission.
Because of the heavy SHOWS that
have made travel by automobile
impossible for our wardens we have
had an unusual number OF vic la
tons of the trapping law, said
Mr.. Barber. The situation in this
respect in Ashland and Douglas
counties is especially bad. We
have had numerous complaints Of
beaver houses being destroyed
contrary to the law and a sense Of
good craftsmanship as well.
When spring comes our wardens
will investigate the beaver situation
III these northern counties where
the season was opened this year.
II il appears that much damage
has been done by the lawlesness we
shall probably close the season for
the future.
Some 972 trapping licenses for
beaver and otter have been issued
by the Conservation Commission
this year. In addition close to
/ 9 900 pelt tags have been sold.
< The season will close the last of
this month.
