OFFENSE OF BRIDE

Police Court-scene Of pathos, COM

the setting for the concluding act of
a romantic drama today when Judge

Ewers. nineteen-year-o old bride of one
day, from its portals to liberty with
an expunged record.
Assistant District Attorney Ralph

on forgery of checks Of small

ready to be sent to the grand jury,
and asked the Eourt--in view Of the
action OF Justice Bailey yesterday in
permitting the young bride to change
plea OF guilty to not guilty so as
to be placed on probation-to take
similar action, and to place her on
probation for a period of one year.
but not to make her name one of
record among probationers.
The court responded favorably. The
oath was administered. The bride
went to her husband. Fred H. Ewers
who took her from jail yesterday to
be married. and the couple left the
courtroom to embark on the matri-
monial voyage. The court did not
make the name of the girl one OF

served the right to have one of the

Higher Incomes Fewer.

Relatively few people in the United
States pay taxes on incomes higher
than the foregoing tables. There are
only $50 persons paying taxes on in
comes above 100000 a year and only
$50 on incomes above $500, 900. The
persons with an income Of a million
dollars year or more are only fhir-
ty in number and this represents a
decrease in 1921 over previous years,
due. 1t is believed, to the fact that
the wealthier people are able legally
to evade taxes on a large part Of
their incomes by purchasing tax
exempt securities issued by states
and municipalities and by the federal
government itself for the farm land
bank system.
Already the attack has begun on the
idea Of reducing surtaxes for persons
Of high income, but the Treasury view
is that the government today Is los
ing millions of dollars in revenue be-
cause rich people are keeping their
capital from productive channels. In
other words, as the Treasury sees It,
the railroads today must pay q high
rate of interest in order to borrow
money. They must pay high interest
rates because people with money to
invest compare the income they will
get from one source with the income

BERLIN DESERTS RUHR.

BERLIN, November 14.-Political
leaders were discussing today the ap-
parent decision of the central govern
ment to withdraw all federal support
from the Ruhr and Rhineland prov
ances, leaving those territories to
their own devices or to the pleasure
of France and Belgium.
The impression grew that the cab
hnet ministers, state premiers and
spokesmen of the occupied regions in
their secret conference here yester-
Iiay had concluded upon the abandon
ment of federal jurisdiction over
those areas as means Of saving the
rest of the country. The fact that

Apparently authentic reports were
in circulation yesterday that the gov
eminent was to proclaim an autono-
nous Rhineland, and considerable
surprise was manifest last nigh,

1t was in. this statement, issued al
euce, that the government explained
anew the seriousness of the unem
ployment problem and Of the general
social and industrial conditions in the
Ruhr and Rhineland, giving the i'm.
preston that the reich could nj
longer consider itself responsible TO,

ence was strengthened when it was
learned in official quarters that the
government considered such a re.
vision Of its policy to be the only

several shots, but could not see ex-
actly what happened.
Persons on the street, however, saw
the robbers snatch up the bag, jump
into an automobile and disappear.
Pedestrians were unable to get the
license number, for the robbers had
adopted the latest bandit device OF
burning some compound which emits
a smoke screen through the exhaust.
Twenty-fOur Hours of Crime.
The murder of the bank messengers
was the climax of hour
period of sensational criminal ac-
tivity.
Late last night a bandit shot and
mortally wounded Jacob Bankhoff

in the cash register. The robber es-
capped.
Early today, two young men en-
tered a down town subway station

cash box of $3.50. They kicked the
cashier under a shelf and escaped.

cred, half an hour later by motor
cycle policemen. Two men were ar

HASTEN HANDLING OF CLAIMS
Decentralization of Legion Service
Work Will Be Carried Out on
Joe Sparks Plan.

Decentralization of service work
undertaken by the American Legion
will be carried out by the use of a
plan put into effect by Joe Sparks, ma
tional chairman of the committee Of
the Legion. This plan, Mr.: Sparks be-
lieves, will expedite the handling Of
claims referred to the Legion, and will
draw quick action on the part Of the
veterans bureau.
Under the new system, all claims
coming to the attention of the nation
al service division will be forwarded
direct to the Legion department serv-
ice office in the state in which the
claim originates.
Contact with the subdistrict offices
Of the United States veterans bureau
will be maintained by these officers
and the offices which have jurisdic-
tion over the claims presented will be
regularly visited. Any inattention or
lack of cooperation by veterans bu-
reau heads will be reported to the
national service division.
If for any reason a claim Is not set
tied satisfactorily by the subdistrict
Office, the department head will refer
to the liaison representative of the
American Legion at the district office
Of the veterans bureau. Files in the
majority of the cases are in the office
