CANDLER SUES FOR TAX REFUND
 OF OVER $2S7,O0O
Coca Cola Magnate Says Payments Made Un-
 der DuresS

ATLANTA, Nov. 1.-Allesing that S53S, ,362. .13 which the government cQ- lected from him as income tax in l9lI, was excessive, Asa G. Candler, ST., this afternoon filed suit against J. T. Rose. collector of Internal Revenue for Georgia, and A. 0. Blalock. former col lector. in which Mir. Candler seeks re- funds ranging from $117 ,666.27 to $2S7 ,692.24.
 The suit sets forth that February 9, 1921, MT. Candler was notified that au additional tax of 74,629.9l was due on account of the allocation o. certain dividends received by him. Soon afterward an assessment in that sum was made and April ,. 1921, fr. Candler paid S143,700.79 to Mir. Bla- lock and filed claim for rebate ot S23O ,292.12. On October 27, 1921, Mir. Candler was notified that abatement in the sum of S19,647.75 had been allowed, but his plea for abatement of $211,- 2S1.37 had been rejected. Subsequently he received demands from the govern ment for the sums assessed plus interest and March 24, 1923, was advised that the tax already assessed for 1917 had been increased by $S9,005.52. He pro- tested and this last figure was reduced to S4S,007. 7.15.
 On January II. 1924, Collector Rose again demanded payment of the S211,- 2S1.37 with added interest of $34.S;1.- I3 and Mir. Candler recites in his suit that under protest and duress' he paid both sums and the additional sum of $4S,007 15, the amount of the last assessment. He filed claims for refund and August 27 received notice from the department of internal revenue that reaudit Of his tax showed an over assessment of $76, ,457.71.
 The suit also recites the action of the board of directors of the Coca Cola company of Georgia in voting and dis trbuting $3,O00 dividends on each share of stock in 1917. It is stated that Mr. Candler owned 391 of the 800 shares of stock and in the distribution of these dividends he received $1,173,000. ..-

German Fisher Folk Suffer
 From Middle Ages Malady
Villages Threatened With Extinction-Physi
 clans Baffled

Germany's foremost medical men formed a commission to investigate the disease and it's causes. They have dis covered nothing new to the villagers. The government sponsored the investiga- tion. It was finally announced that the malady has occurred in previous cen turies and the scientists have pen etrated no further into the mystery.
 Hot Bee Cure
 In the archives of the city of koe- nigsberg was discovered the diary of a Pomeranian nobleman wso observed the why's and manners of the people during the sixteenth century. In 1529 the parsonage set down that "myster- ious malady" had befallen the fisher folk of the Half. The symptoms as described in the Pomeranian's diary are similar to some of those now exhibited by modern sufferers of the Half.
 During the middle ages science did not so readily admit ignorance as now. The Pomeranian nobleman mentions a cure for the disease. Hot beer mixed with butter" proved efficacious, the nobleman wrote. -Four weeks treatment with copious quantities of the med icine; bounteous table but without surfeit of food" restored the sufferers to health.
 The virulence of the disease or the quality of east Prussian beer has alter ed since 1929. The potion is futile now.

BROAD UPSWING
 BEGINS N STOCKS
Wall Street To Welcome RemOv
 al Of Election Uncertainty

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Pre-election dullness characterized the securities market in the early part of this week, but broad upward swing in stock prices was under way in the closing sessions with standard industrials lead ing the advance. Bond prices displayed firm tone in reflection of easy money rates, the $30,000.000' Swedish govern ment offering this week bringing the total of foreign financing this year to above $1,000, 100000.
 While there is a difference of opinion as to just what extent next Tuesdays s presidential election has been dis counted by the stock market, Wall Street generally will welcome the re- moval of uncertainty which it has en- gendered, as it undoubtedly has had a restraining influence on certain lines of business. With the election out of the way, business men and bankers state that they will be able to get a more definite line on the trend of fall and winter business.

(Leased Wire ot The Az. .Herald)

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-An ancient sourge, whose origin is lost in the ob' scure medical history of centuries, long past, has descended on the tiny fishing villages along the curving shores of the Half. Modern medical science has failed to diagnose the sickness. The fisher folk are starving and entire villages are threatened with extinction because the Brawny sailors who haul the nets have lost control of their bodies. E The disease is form of paralysis. In the legends of the cold east Prus. sian coast it is known as the Half malady." Once stricken the fishers no longer can go out in their boats. Fish, ing is the only support along the shores of Half bay, an inland arm of the Baltic
 Several weeks ago., the disease ap- peared along the shores of the Half. Since then it has spread all along the coast and in some instances has pierced inland. The scourge struck suddenly and boldly, with symptoms heretofore un- known.
 Misery and want such as the fisher men and women never knew even dur ing the lean years of the war has fol- lowed the trail of illness. Petitions have been sent to the government in Berlin demanding that long term credits be granted the Half villagers to carry them through the winter.
