RUSSIANS CARRY
OFF U. S. COLONY
Men Who Intended to Es-
tablish Title to Wrangell
Island Kidnapped.

Nome, Alaska.-A colony intended
to establish American title to Wran-
CELL island, in the Arctic ocean, north
of Siberia, was carried off by the Rus
sian armed transport Red October,
which raised the Russian flag there
August 20, it was learned here.
The news came from Whalen, by
which name Alaskans call that part
of Siberia extending inland and north
and south from Boring strait.
The Red October, which was sent to
claim Wrangell island for Russia,
bucked the ice 80 days to reach its
destination, to which the coast guard
cutter Bear and the gasoline schoon-
ers Herman and Silver Wave, three
American vessels, tried in vain to pen
citrate this summer.
The colony carried away by the Red
October is to be landed at Indian
point, in Whalen, or at Vladivostok,
1000 miles south, according to adj
vices from Whalen
This colony, consisting of ID Eski-
mos, with Charles Wells, an Ameri-
can of Nome, in charge of them, was
taken to Wrangell island by Harold
Noice of Seattle, who found that an
expedition led there in 1921 by Alan
Crawford of Toronto had persisted
with the exception of an Eskimo
seamstress, Ada Blackjack.
Officials aboard the Red October
confscated stores of furs, according
to the Whalen messages. This con-
sisted of 40 fox and 40 polar bear
skins
New York; ilhjalmur Stefansson,
who year ago founded the colony on
Wrangell island which is reported
from Nome to have been carried off
by Russian transport, said that the
colony comprised 13 Eskimos and
Charles Wells of Uniontown, Pa.
The colony was not founded in be-
half Of Great Britain, but Of the Unit
ed States, through an American cor
poration in Nome, Mr.. Stefansson de-
clared.
A cablegram from Nome giving the
Soviet governments version Of the af-
fair was received by Leonard 2. Bald
win, New York attorney and official
Of the Lomen Reindeer and Trading
corporation of Nome.
Mr.. Baldwin explained that respon-
sibility for the island colony was a
private venture undertaken by Carl
Lomen of Lomen Bros, Nome, at the
request of Mr.. Stefansson.
Washington.-W While official silence
remains unbroken with respect to re-
cent developments on Wrangell island,
there is little reason to believe the
connection of an American citizen with
the colonization plan will alter the
Washington governments attitude OF
noninterference in the question OF
the island.

INCOME TAX SHOWS
MANY CHANGES IN
ARIZONA FAMILIES

Changes wrought by births, deaths
and marriages during the last year
affect materially income tax returns
for 1928. Thousands of babies We're
added to family circles. For each,
the parents, in addition to the per-
sonal exemptions allowed married cou-
pies, are entitled to $400 credit for
dependent.
Boys and girls who became self
supporting, and whose parents allow
them the use of their earning without
restrictions, form a new class of tax
payer. Each must file an income tax
return on his or her net income, if
such income was in excess of 1000.
The earnings of dependent minor chill
dren who have not been "emancipat-
ed"-allowed the use of their earn
ings by their parents-must be in
cluded in the parents return of in
come.
Widows and widowers who lost their
spouses during the year 1928 are es-
pecially affected. Unless remarked
on or before December 81, 1923, or the
head of family they are allowed only
the $1,000 exemption granted a single
person..
Widows and widowers are not re-
quired to show on their Individual
returns the income of husband or wife
up to the time of death. The income
of decedent is considered separately
and return must be filed by the ex-
ecutor or administrator of the estate.
The executor or administrator who
makes a return for a decedent is en-
titled to claim for him his full per-
sonal exemption, according to his sta
tus as single or married person at
the time of his death.
In an individual return the taxpay-
er's status as of December 81, 1923,
determines the amount of his exemp-
tions and credits. If on that day the
taxpayer was married and living with
wife or husband, the exemption is ST.
