ROBBERIES ARE NEW
INCOME TAX ALIBIS
EvasiOns This Year, Displac-
ing Wall Street Losses,
May Smash Record.

In the spring some peoples fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of beating
Uncle Sam out of the true amount OF
income tax due him. So it is said,
anyway. by the busy income tax Off
cials down in the Custom House.
Deputy Collector Charles. with many
ways of acquiring information. says that
the newest dodge in avoiding full pay
ment is TO include in the return a state
ment ee loss by burglary or foldup, and
that the number OF such evasions bids
fair this year to break all records. Last
year stock market losses was the
favorite alibi of those who could not
bring themselves to play fair with the
Government
1--WE understand that the police are
being beseged by people who want to
get the exact dates and circumstances
of roboeries." Mr. Charles said yester-
day. The information bureau at Po-
lice Headquarters and individual sta
tions are being requested in an as
tonishing number of cases to look ur
the dates of burglaries and holdups
Now we assume that almost all OF these
requests for information are bona fide
requests, made by citizens that have
actually suffered loss from thieves. Or
the other hand, there is no use blinking
the fact that a good many persons will
be tempted TO invent holdups or burg
laries TO reduce the amount of theiI
gross income in their returns to the
Government.
IT should like to disseminate this hint
Uncle Sam is very likely to ask such
persons to substantiate their claim, and
unless they can do so convincinsly the
l. @f.Ax+
show that they suffered a loss in cash
or in property, well and good. The Gov
ernment is no Shylock. In fact. it rakes
very broad minded attitude in these
matters. For example. If you have lost
clothing or jewery or any other prop
erty. other than cash. you have a right
to include such loss in your return. Only
be careful to get the facts straight
Last year an astonishing number oi
people seemed to have been punctSred
in Wall street. Thousands Of returns
claimed heavy loss in the stock market
The wheels of the Federal Treasury
move slowly because they carry tre-
mendous burden, but any one submitting
stock market losses as reason for re-
duced income may have to answer ques-
tions. The questions may be delayed q
good while-but they will be put even
tually.
1--WE estimate that about S500,oo0.OOc
will be collected in New York this year
That means a falling off'of more thar
Sl0O, 600, 900 from last year.
'aIost people are scrupuicusly honest
Those who will seek to evade honest
payment are, after all, only small pro-
portion of the number who will step Ut
70 the desk and pay every dollar they
owe. Americans are an honest people

cigar store between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets. on the west side OF
the street SO he could get some cigars
Russell had received a postcard signed
Gus apd dated February II. telling
him that on his next trip he must stor
in at the store and get a box of cigars
which would be left there for him. The
detectives declare the handwriting on

At any rate Mario stopped the truck,
but pulled around the corner into Nine

The bag was handed to him. He took

The messengers and the driver were
questioned as TO why they did not make
an outcry or pursue the touring car in
stead of going TO the police station. The
police have description of the lone
bandit. who was about feet inches
in height and about 2S years old, and
of the machine in which he and the two
men who joined him escaped.

Psychology Test
for Hens Ownership

CADIZ, Ohio, Feb 2s.-Ex service men
who had experience with nut" tests in
the Army will be interested in the an
nouncement that psychological tests for
hens have been devised here. Prosecutor
B. w Moore, ex-service man, is author
ity for the statement.
Earl Carter, negro, was arrested on a
charge of stealing three White Rock
chickens from John Mansfeld's coop.
Sheriff o. X. Martin found three White
Rocks in Carter's coop along with four
Plymouth Rocks.
Martin had been told that chickens
will have nothing to do with a strange
flock, or roost. He tied strings to the
legs Of the three feathered bipeds and
turned them into Mansfield's yard. They
liked 1t for the drinking pan, imbibed
and then calmly proceeded to the roost.
The sheriff, convinced that the method
of determining where the chickens came
from Is o. K, plans on taking the four
Plymouth Rocks to A. J. ClifforG's coops
to test whether they once belonged to
the Clifford flock.
Meanwhile, a charge Of chicken steal
ing has been filed against Carter.

American Relief Workers Tell
Of Armenians Plight.

How a group Of American relief work
ers in the streets Of Erivan, Armenia,
discovered q dozen children tearing az
the body OF dead horse and devouring
it with ghoulish cries, is one Of the
stories which have reached the Indiana
committee Of Near East Relief Of which
Ed Jackson is chairman.
Hundreds Of children, diseased, starv-
ing and uncared for, were roaming the
streets like little animals" says a cable
gram. "Within a week three children
were found dead on the streets dead from
sheer starvation"
The cablegram said when the children
were given orphanage admission tickets
they kissed the bits Of paper, actually
smiled and tried to kiss the hands of the
relief workers. More than 1000 children
have been rescued from the streets OF
Erivan in the last month.

Clergymen Oppose
Baptismal Order

With only one dissenting vote, the In
dianapolis Christian Ministers Associa-
ton, went on record yesterday as opposed
to the recent action of the board of man
ayers Of the United Christian Missionary
Society in ordering Its missionaries to
receive into membership only those who
were immersed in baptism.
The resolution declared the board of
managers by its action had departed
from the province of missionary admins
tration and had entered the field Of
scriptural Interpretation. 1t was stated
further the unusual success Of the mis-
sionaries of the church was due to the
fact they had been left free to exalt the
New Testament as their sole rule OF faith
and practice.
The Rev. Homer Dale pastor Of the
Hillside Christian Church, was the only
one of twenty five ministers to vote
against the resolution.
