GARNER ACQUITTED
Of BRIDE: CHARGE;
DEPUTY CONVICTED

Deputy Sheriff J. NJ. Bernard, Of
Gwinnetr county, was found guilty
by a jury in United States district
court Wednesday afternoon on a
charge of conspiring to violate the
federal prohibition act and was sem
fenced by Judge Robert T. Erwin
to serve two years in the federal
penitentiary. Sheriff Z. S. Garner,
of Gwinnett county, co-defendant,
was found not guilty.
Attorney William Schley Howard,
who, with Attorney James A. Branch
and Attorney Len B. Guillebeau
and the law firm of Oaks & Nix, of
Lawrenceville, Ca, represented the
defendants, stated they would file a
motion for a new trial on behalf of
their convicted client. Judge Erwin
assessed bond in the sum Of $4,000.
The bond was made.
Judge Erwin first sentenced Ben
nard to serve two and a half years
in prison, but when reminded that
the law did not provide such d
sentence he changed it to two years
Imprisonment.
Ehe jury which took the case at
1870 p. N. was out less than 20
minutes. Only one ballot was taken,
it was understood,
The jury was given the case near
the close of the regular court day
which was taken up by three hours
of argument and short charge by
Judge Robert 7. Erwin, of Mobile,
who is presiding during the absence
Of Judge Samuel II. Sibley.
Judge Erwin, in his charge, de-
scribed the case "as the most re-
markable l have ever seen in all my
years on the bench" He told the
jury the case was important to the
defendants, to the nation and to the
jurors themselves, and that if the
jurors thought the evidence showed
u conspiracy they should return Z
verdict of guilty against Que or both
OF the defendants.
He again pointed out that How
ard Garner, the son Of the sheriff
who went on trial Monday with his
father and Bernard was no longer
on trial, explaining that he had dis
charged Howard Garner because he
did not think the evidence against
him was sufficient to bother the jury
with it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The

Teapot Dome scandal has struck
Washington. Old line leaders like

case of practical politics of which
no one has d better appreciation
than Harry Daugherty himself.
Mr.. Coolidge, however, has felt
that no man should be convicted
without a hearing. The attorney gen.
eral has asked for an investigation
and chance to refute the charges
that have been made. Can anybody
be refused hearing and be con-
demne0 on public accusations which
have not been proved? Mr.. Daugh.

HIGHER TAX RATE
ON STOCK PROFITS
IS VOTED IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb 2O.-Stock
dividend profits would be made sub
ject to regular income rates rather
than the capital asset tax Of 1912
per cent under an amendment to
the revenue bill adopted today by
the house.
The amendment was proposed by
Representative Garner, Democrat,
Texas, and received practically
unanimous support of the Demo
Gratis, who were Joined by about six
teen Republican insurgents. The
vote was 1872 to 112.
Representative Rainey, Democrat,
Illinois, in arguing for its adoption,
declared it would bring enough ad-
ditional revenue to permit the re
peal of all automobile excise taxes.
1t would subject the profits to much
hillher taxes than II IL per cent as
provided now
Representative Mills, Republican,
New York. opposed the proposal as
a gesture" and not possible Of eff
fective administration The amend.
ment is subject to another vote.
The house pressed on with con
sideration of the bill today, leaders
hoping for speedy action in view of
the disposal yesterday of the income
tax section through the adoption of
the Democratic substitute for the
Mellon schedule
The rates adopted provide for a
maximum SurtaX of A per cent on
incomes of 1872, 900 and over and for
normal tax rates of two per cent on
incomes Of $1,000 and under, four
per cent on incomes between IS 1000
and $4,000 and per cent on incomes
above $4,000. Personal tax eXemp.
tons also were increased to, allow
$4,000 exemption for single persons
and $4,000 for heads of families.
This action, brought about by the
combined votes of the Democrat and
Republican insurgents, settled the
main controversial point of the bill
as far as amendments to separate
sections are concerned. a vote must
yet be taken on the entire measure,
however, and Republican leaders
have indicated they will seek at that
time to nave it recommitted to com
mittee and new income rates adopt
ed.
The Garner rates were adopted in
i the face of a compromise offer by
Representative LongWorth, Repub
lican, floor leader, to submit an
amendment to make the maximum
surtax rate 81 IL per cent instead
of 25 per cent as carried in the bill
Republican insurgents refused the
offer, II voting with the 203 Demo
Gratis for the Garner amendment
Two other proposals had been reject
ed, one by Chairman Madden, of the
appropriations committee, providing
for the Mellon rates except for a sur
tax maximum rate. of &c per cent in
stead Of 25 per cent, and the other by
representative F'rear, Wisconsin
Republican insurgent, calling, for 8
maximum surtax Of so per cent or
incomes of 100000 and over and fol
SO per cent cut in normal taxes
rates.

CHICAGO (Thursday), Feb. I'll
Trade in wheat today was Of a pre-
holiday character. Few OF the
traders were inclined to enter into
new commitments, and the bulk of
the trading was in the way of even
ing. Price changes were of little
Importance, but most Of the session
values were above tne previous close.
Local shorts took profits, and COM
mission houses mad wheat for sale
on the bulges. Liverpool weakness
was attributed to the prospect for
the early settlement OF the dock
workers strike. A little demand for
Manitoba wheat was reported from
abroad. Milling demand was quiet.
Primary receipts show some reduc-
ton, but this may be a reflection
Of the recent storm.
