last Saturday that they had oeen
making moonshine and departed lot
their homes in the hills to bring their
stills into court when an aged minis
ter arose in the crowded court room
and prayed that lawIessness IN the
mountains cease. Women ano men
broke down and sobbed while the
minister PRAYED for an end or tne
lawlessness in Clay county. The hrst
confession in the investigation pelng
made by Circuit Judge Hiram j. John-
son came from Mrs. Frank Smltn'
who began crying when she took the
witness stand and asked that the min
lister offer prayer. Mrs. Smith CON

band that last week ambushed ana

the death of their little daughter some
time before had been sent as warn
ing for him to cease lawlessness. she

Secretary Mellon has ordered
withdrawn, pending further CONSIDER
alton, the ruling of the. intsrna! rey-
enue bureau that contributions to. the
woodrow Wilson foundation were not
exempt from income taxes. An
nouncement of Mr.. Melons action
was made in letter to Senator Glass

the treasury. The letter was MADE
nublic following a conference of Mr..
Mellon, with Assistant Commissioner
Smith of the revenue bureau, actlng
in the absence of Commissioner Blair.
The letter to Senator, Glass said: The
question of whether the contributions
to the woodrow Wilson foundation
were exempt from the federal income
tax has only come to my attention
since the publicity given to the ruling
was made. While the case differs es-
sentially from the Mckinley Memorial
association it seems to me that IN the
present ruling due consideration mas
not been given to the effect or the
congressional Interpretation as 10
what constitutes an exclusively edu-
cational purpose in the incorporation
of the Roosevelt Memorial associa-
tion. 81 have accordingly asked Com
missioner Blair to have the ruling
heretofore made reviewed with view
to determining whether the contribu-
tions for the Woodrow Wilson foun-
dation should not be treated IN the
same WAY as those made TO the RooSe-
yelt Memorial association. Under
tho circumstances. it seemed to- me
preper that l should advise you OF
this action and the ruling Will DE

man, under the guidance of Professor

Biological institute, is confirmed by
DIR, Walter p. Davenport of Chicago,
acting head of the medical department
of the American relief administration
in Russia. DIR. Kritch is director OF
the laboratory of Sokolnichiesky hos
pital at Moscow, where she has been
engaged for two years in searching
for the germ. Announcement OF the
discovery was made before confer
enee of 25 Moscow doctors. so far
as 1T has gone, II seems to be one OF
tine most important medical discover
les" of the century" said DR.. Daven-
port today. "Dr. Kritch has sue
ceeded in isolating the typhuscoccus
which is biscuit shaped and in ap-
pearance much like the pneumonia
germ of pnesumococcus. The germ
was found in the brain tissue of II out
of II patients who had died of typhus
The organism was then grown in the
tissus of the human spleen from
which later a culture was taken and
infection into guinea pigs, producing
typhus symptoms. So far no vaccine
or curative serum has been developed
