No Information
Here In Regard
Desert Muir der

No information had been received
by the sheriff's office today, re-
garding the supposed killing Of Il
man near Blythe on November %,
to which Eddie Hammil, a World
War veteran, confessed to the police
of San Francisco yesterday.
According TO Hammil's story, he
killed an unknown man in q battle
aear Blythe when the two were camp
ed on the desert. He maintained
that he had justification for his act,
but had been haunted by the killing
until he was driven to surrender and
confession.
Due to the fact that the suppos
ed killing occurred near the imperial
county line, and might have hap
pened In this county, it was thought
that the Riverside authorities might
send the information when received
pv them, TO Sheriff Gillett.

CAN'T FIND ANY
TRAGEDY WHEN
MURDER FEARED

Following search of several
hours yesterday by Undersheriff
Bert Underwood and Deputy Sher-
IF Atkins, no trace of tragedy
could be found in the vicinity of
Mt. Signal, where il was report,
led Young woman had been shot
some time sunday afternoon.
The report was first brought to
George Campbell at Seelcv when 4
party which had been pickrickinS
near the mountain stated th.v had
observed Il roadster drive up to-
ward the mountain and q man and
woman alight and disappear from
sight. Later shot WIS heard, and
some time afterward the watchers
saw the man re-enter the car alone
and drive away.
Campbell headed 4 posse Monday
and searched the country near the
mountain without success. Eester-
day the sheriff 5 office was IN
formed of the case and the officers
visited the place described by
those who had observed the road
,ter. Although they found the
wheel marks of the car and search
ed the country for a wide radius,
nothing to indicate a tragedy could
be found
Underwood stated this morning
that he believes the woman possibly
re-entered the ear without being
seen by the picnickerS.

That the number of arrests was

Dairyman Farmer
Must Pay Income
Tax, Not Exempt

Collector of Internal Revenue
Rex Goodcell Yesterday corrected 4
report, which has gained wide cir
cula,ion, to the effect that South
crn California dairymen are not re-
CURED to file income tax returns.
Inquiries from many sections of
the district have reached Collector
Goodcell. Pasadena seems to be the
center Of the erroneous interpreta-
tion of the income tax law as re-
CARDS dairymen.
Collector Goodcell believes that
the report regarding the exemption
of dairymen originated in a ruling
Of the internal revenue bureau.
which in effect held that cooper
ative associations, acting as sales
agents for farmers. fruit growers
and dairymen, and turning back to
he producers the proceeds of tn,
sales Of their products, less the nee
ossary operating expenses, on the
basis of the produce furnished them,
aIe exempt from income tax and are
not required to file Il return.
This ruling does not exemp. the
individual dairymen or farmer. Ev-
cry dairvman who is married ana
whose net income was $1,000 OF
more, or if single, $1,000 or more,
rust file a return on Form l040, or
be liable 70 heavy penalty. If
he engages in farming he mast al
So file Form 1C40-F which is q

lense, with his 1910 return.
