TREASURY DEPT. REVERSES TAX
 RULING

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary of the Treasury Mellon on Saturday wrote Senator Glass of Virginia, in- forming him that upon reconsidera- tion, the Treasury Department had reached the same conclusion as held by Commissioner Blair of the Internal Revenue Department regarding con tributions to the Woodrow Wilson Me- morial Fund Commissioner Blair had ruled, contrary to expressed opin- ion of the Treasury Department, that such contribution were not exempt from income tax. Blair's opinion pre- cipitated the controversy into the Senate where Democratic members charged discrimination in that the de- partment had ruled that contributions to the Roosevelt Memorial Fund were exempt from such tax.

ATTEMPT TO BURN JAIL

CHICAGO, May S.-The riot in the Cook County jail started by the pris- oners as protest against the new rule regulating visitors was com menced by the prisoners on the fourth and topmost tier of cells. They set fire to their blankets and threw them below, the dense smoke arising from the burning wool nearly suffocating the inmates in the lower tiers. The prisoners then beat the doors of their cells with strips of steel torn from their iron hunks, raising tremendous din, and making the jail sound like a steel rolling mill operating at high speed The noise became so great that it could be heard for great dis tance beyond the jail, causing an immense throng to assemble outside of the prison gates. This crowd of sightseers became boisterous and threatened to storm the jail so that the police reserves had to be called out to disperse the mob.

PRISONERS IN
 COUNTY JAIL
 START A RIOT

CHICAGO, May 8.-A riot among the prisoners confined in the Cook County jail broke out last night, which forced the warden and his guards to use strenuous efforts be- fore the disturbing element among the prisoners could be quelled. The disturbance lasted four hours, and while it was in progress the jail was a bedlam, with shouts, shrieks, curses, rattlings and bangings. The men seemed to have gone insane with fury. The immediate cause of the trouble was an order just issued by the warden limiting the prison- CTS to one day each week in which to receive visitors. This morning the warden accompanied by thirty guards opened the cells containing the ringleaders of the disturbance and removed them. The jailers were armed with clubs and blackjacks, and in each case a vicious fight en- dragged out of the cell, many of them having to be beaten into un- consciousness before yielding to the officers.

struction camp. Parker entered the kitchen to wash his hands, and some few minutes later, Mrs. Wichsell followed him, with a 38 calibre re- volver in her hands, with which she shot Parker in the back.
 The findings of the coroner's jury were that Parker met his death by gun shot wound fired from the the pistol in the hands of Mrs. Wich- sell. The woman was given her lib- erty at the insistence of the dis trict attorney, who refused to allow her to be bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
 The dead mans superior officers conducted an investigation into the case, Major Donaldson of Fort Lis cum leaving for the scene of the tragedy on learning of the killing, and it is believed that the prescott tion and present arrest of the woman is the result of the demand of the military authorities.

} GENOA, May S.-The fifth week of the Economic Conference is op- ening today, and it is generally be- lieved that before the week is out the conference will have abruptly terminated without useful accomplish ment. The atmosphere sof gloom
 which prevades all the delegates from Premier Facta down is thick CT and more, impenetrable than ever Nobody has the hardihood to publicity express much hope that the Russian imbroglio will be strengthened out amicably. The Rus sian point of view might not be impossible of reconciliation, but the chief difficulty is the varying posi- tions taken by the representatives of France, England, and Belgium, as to the proper course to pursue
 with respect to the Moscow gov ernment. Lloyd Georges tact, affabil- ity, good nature, and gentle chaf- fling, has carried the conference over many perilous situations in the early weeks of the meeting, particularly on the opening day when there was a spectacular oracular contest between Tchitcherin the Russian and Barthou, the French foreign minister. How ever, even the most sanguine among the observers here cannot feel hope

 CONTEMPLATING

DETROIT, May 8. - Secret Service men of the Treasury Department to- day arrested in this city seven men charged with counterfeiting by raising the, denominations of Federal Re- serve notes.

Barthou declared in the strongest language that if no arrangement is made with Russia binding Lenin and Trotsky to a policy of non-ag- ression against their neighbors, that a commercial agreement, or trade relations, were absolutely impossible,
