CLEARWATER, Fla. June 10
With probably only one more de-
fenSe witness to be heard, the case
OF Frank Mcdowell, nineteen-year-
old confessed slayer of his mother
and father, being tried for the sec
ond time for the murder OF ms

fore it closed its case yesterday in
an effort to disprove the defense
contention that the youth was men,
tally irresponsible at the time.
witnesses for the state testified that
Mcdowell purchased drugs under
forged prescription the day before
the crime was committed. Their tes-
timony was interpreted as an effort
by the prosecution to substantiate
charges of previous witnesses that
the couple had been drugged before
they were shot to death in their bed.
The youths mental condition, as
we'll as the mental history of his
family, were described by witnesses
for the defense. DR.. w. H. Spier,
mental disease specialist, asserted
that Mcdowell was suffering from
dementia praecox at the time OF the
tragedy and that the present condi-
tion of the faculties is such that he
cannot live more than five years
longer.

MORE INCOME TAX

$7,072, 1924 Collections for Second
Quarter of 1924 in Baltimore
y District.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 19.--Income tax
collection in the Maryland district for
the second quarter will exceed what
was estimated. according to officials
OF tho collectors office here. The in
crease is due. it is said, to the fact
that many persons paid their taxes
In full for the year after deducting
the 25 per cent deduction recently al
lowed by Congress.
1t was estimated that the coll
lions for the quarter would be close
to $1,000 600, but receipts so far total
$7,072,324.14 and this is expected to
be added to by schedules yet to be re-
cefved in the mail.
Despite all the recent publicity
given the passage of the new internal
revenue act and the cut of 25 per
cent over the old rates for income
taxes, a great many taxpayers ig-
nored the reduction in sending in
their schedules, according to Frank
Il. Benson, chief of the income tax di-
vision
Mr.. Benson said that probably
10000 taxpayers, in addition to about
10000 who. paid in full in March, re-
smitted their balances without deduct
ing the 25 per cent. This, he said, will
impose upon the collector an added
burden, inasmuch as checks will have
to be.sent to all who have overpaid.

REVERSAL OF PUBLIC OPINION

AS illustrative of the sudden and violent
changes in public opinion the Christian Sci
ence Monitor cites the vote of amnesty granted
by the French Chamber, few days ago, to
Joseph Canlaux, for premier and his lieutenant,
Louis Malvy.
During the war both were condemned by the
senate, sitting as high court, for acts that
seemed to border on treason, and condemned by
loyal war supporters as traitors to their coun-
try. Many men of humber rank were executed.
Now Mr.. -Malvy has been elected to the senate
and Caillaux, in view of the recent vote of am
nesty, may be expected back in active political
life in short time

A SWEET PAIR OF TRAITORS

There were two volcanic OutburSts IN the
ranks of the Democrats OF Montana last week.
The first came when the announcement was
published that the Hon. Burton K. Wheeler,
Junior United States Senator for the state OF
Montana, elected on the Democratic ticket,
would not support the nominees of the Madison
Square convention.
The next explosion occurred early Saturday
morning when the news came first over private
wires, that Mr. Wheeler, the aforesaid Demo
crat, was going to accept second place on the
LaFollette ticket.
What had been a murmer of growing ours
es then swelled into a torrent of profanity and
execration which could be heard from Wibaux
to Thompson Falls.
Four years ago the aforesaid Mr. Wheeler
ran for governor against Joseph M. Dixon. His
war record was then fresh in the memory of the
people as was also the record of the class Of peo
pie with whom he. had associated during the
war period. Loyal American Democrats the
state over turned against the man Wheeler and
he was ingloriously defeated, showed under,
buried
Two years later he ran for u S. Senator the
nomination on the Democratic ticket over
large field of rally decent loyal Democratic. It
seemed to the outsider that the Democrats
painted and pushed to apologize for showing
Wheeler under two years before, for they rush
ed to his standard, bearing gifts and votes
One man, an outstanding character in the
Democratic party, who came out openly and OPP
posed Wheeler in his governors race was Hon.
Henry L. Meyer, at that time United States Sen
ator. A large number of the rank and file of
the party listened to Senator Meyers words and
did not support Wheeler
In the senatorship campaign the old line
democrats preached loud and valiantly for
Wheeler and denounced Meyer and all others
who failed to support Wheeler, before They
rushed his candidacy and managed to get most
of the members of their party back in line for
him. Senator Meyers name was anathema in
their mouths.
Now comes lot of the biggest leaders of the
party in the state and acknowledge that Sena-
tor Meyer was right That he was a better
judge of real character than they were
Wheeler now has left them, body and bag
gage He has joined up with the Benedict Arm
old of the Republican party La Toilette 1t is
amusing to hear these two birds say they can
not support such men as Coolidge and Davis
either of whom, in honesty of purpose, integri-
ty without hope or care for political reward, are
as far above La Toilette and Wheeler as the an
gels in heaven are above the minions of hell.
