HEARST URGES LUNN
 FOR GOTERNORSHIP
Publisher Attacks Al Smith As
 A ReactiOnary

NEW YORK, July 20.-Attacking Gov. Al Smith as reactionary and declaring the democratic party must act to prevent progressive democrats from going over to LaFollette, William Randolph Hearst addressed letter to the Sunday New York American, urg- ing Lieutenant Governor Lunn as the logical democratic candidate for gover- nor of New York in the coming cam paign.
 Hearst declares Lunn is not sub ject to the influences of the big fi- nancial interests" and says that if he develops any strength as a candidate, i've shall probably see Governor Smith once more ready to make the personal sacrifice of his private business and run again for the protection of the wa ter power exploiters and his other friends among the big interests" Only by the candidacy of an honest progress sive," according to Hearst, can progress sive democrats be prevented from "de- serting in droves to the LaFollette banner"

APPEALS BOARD
 TO CHECK LISTS
 OF TAX COUNSEL
Only Accredited Account ants And Attorneys
 To Plead Cases

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The new 1y-formed board of tax appeals today announced its regulations governing cases which the treasury has been un- able to settle with the taxpayers. The regulations include rigid code of rules for persons admitted to practice be- fore the board. The board expects to be- gin hearings within two weeks.
 Under the rules any taxpayer, dis satisfied with the determination of tax liability by the bureau of internal rev enue, may initiate an appeal by filing with the board petition of his claims. It must include the following general in- formation:
 The Requirements
 Clear and concise assignments of error, alleged by the taxpayer to have been committed by the commissioner of internal revenue in determining the tax liability of the petitioner.
 ''A clear and concise statement of the facts upon which the taxpayer relies as constituting the basis of his appeal.
 "The petition shall as far as possible be complete in itself so as to fully, but briefly inform the board of the issues to be presented.
 Five clear copies, either typewritten or printed shall be filed. The original shall be signed and duly verified by the taxpayer.
 "The appeal is filed automatically upon receipt of the petition by the board, one copy being served on the commissioner of internal revenue"
 To Keep Registry
 In regard to the admission of persons to practice before it, the board said a registry of those admitted would be kept, although any individual taxpay- CT or any officer of a corporation may appear in his own or his corporation s behalf. Generally, the board will admit to practice attorneys who are admitted to practice before the supreme court of the United States or the highest court of their state or territory or the Dis trict of Columbia, or certified public accountants duly qualified under the laws of any state or territory.
 'The board" the regulations provide, "may in its discretion deny admission, suspend or disbar any attorney or cer- tified public accountant. It shall have the right at any time to inquire under oath into the terms and circumstances of any contract of employment of any attorney or accountant by the taxpayer he represents"

WEIRD STORIES FOLLOW DISPLAY
 OF STRANGE GUN

" VIVID and weird tales of Cap
 tain Kidd and his sturdy buc-
 cancers were only a part of the wild imaginary yarns related during the past week to various members of the law Enforcement bodies around Birmingham by some member of their own group after inspection of an ancient pistol be- longing to Fred J. Cain, state law enforcement officer.
 So ancient in design that no Bir- mingham gunsmith has been able to identify its make or age, and so peculiar in operation as to make it q truly remarkable relic, this pis- tol has been the center of animated conversation among officers during the entire week.
 According to some experts in the firearm world of Birmingham, the gun probably is one of old Spanish make. In most instances it is agreed that the pistol is of q type that became popular. soon after the wane of the old blunderbuss.

they would not leave the debatable de- lights of the city?
 Some will. One of the finest jour nalists in America slept on a park bench not many years ago.
 PMany a morning I've been awakened by the nightstick on the soles of my feet" he told me.
 And the. Salvation Army says that there is no longer the gruesome poverty to which New York was once accus- toned. No one knows where these park loungers work, and yet they must work more or less. They certainly do not beg in the city. There never were fewer pan-handlrs. But it is indis- putable that the benches are filled, night and day. The park patrol is a careful one, but restless persons with money and watches are ill-advised to wander there late at night.
 For all New York's hatred of the word, there are still slums. A friend told me a most illuminative tale today. Uptown there is a charming young wo- man, pretty, serious, rich, who loves children.
 ''She worships them," said my friend.
 Through a social worker she set about work in the slums. She found one home which was hideously dirty. The pretty rich girl brought from her own home soaps and bug powders and instructions. A week later she returned, to find the children secured until they glistened and their scanty clothing clean. But on the floor scampered the ancient army of bugs.
 'Why did you not put out the pow der for the bugsY she asked.
 'I dasn't, lady" said the poor moth- CT. You said it was poisoned-and the baby eats the bugs"

It's only uptown that the difference is felt. Last night I wandered into what used to be called the slums, though New York resents the word. In some forgotten storm the under pining of one narrow street had been washed so that the street surface sag ged in a great bowl.
 An inventive boy-or, who knows but policeman-had set a board across the outlet to the stormwater sewer. Then the hydrant had been turned on, and in the impromptu tank thus form ed a dozen little naked boys were splashing and rowling, boy-fashion, and trying to swim on their round lit- tie dummies. They could not be any more completely naked in Naples.
 'It's against the law" said my elbow mate. But he said it with a grin. At. the end of the street policeman was carefully facing the other way.
 There are fewer great cars on the street. Yet there are still so many that one ventures into the current at the very present risk of life. The ho- tels are by comparison empty. In one which in the fashionable season houses perhaps 5000, a fellow and his girl held hands in the darkened tea room yesterday. A solitary waiter gazed dismally out of the window upon the glaring asphalt. All day and all night the park benches are filled with listless loafers.
 This week Westchester county man offered three dollars a day for young women to hoe in his fields. That work is not fit for American women, ac- cording to American ideas. Wonder why he did not sack the park benches for hoe hands? Or had he tried it before, as so many have, and found
