These guys that go along the

have a great graft and know the
tricks of their trade.
Have you ever noticed what

pin your ear to the air wave you
can't tell whether they are spout
ing about the baseball score, or
some other big diamond robbery.
Might as well be selling q murder
extra or q mural painting for all
you can get.

trying to make out whether there
had been another earthquake

He was selling FRESH Flowers,

NEW LUNCHEON
TIME RECORD
IS SET
Woman Suffragists Disband
After Four and One-half
Hours at Tables

The National American Woman
Suffrage Association, after setting
many records during the thirty-four
years Of it's existence, has just set
another record as the last official
act of it's career before disbanding.
The association now claims the
record of having held the longest
luncheon meeting for many long
moon. At / o'clock yesterday after
noon members of the executive
council assembled for a looking
backward luncheon in the Hotel
washington. They became thor
oughly engrossed in their remi-
niScenceS.
Twenty-eight young women, COM
posing the drill team of the Daugh-
tiers Of Job, all in uniform, reported
at the hotel at o'clock to escort
them to the Shoreham Hotel, where
they were to view a painting of
Susan B. Anthony.
All drawn up in line as BELTS an
escort Of honor, the Daughters OF
Job waited patiently for ten min.
utes-fifteen enthusiastically min
utes. The patience of the Daughg
tiers of Job began to lag. There
were murmurs of resentment in the
ranks. Twenty enthusiastically
five minutes-the flow of recollec-
ton went on unchecked. Thirty
minutes-the Daughters Of JOB,
grooming under their afflictiop, de-
cided that, while patience might
have been all right for their Illus
trious forebear, they craved action.
So they disbanded, disgruntled, and
went. home all in their bright, now
uniforms.
On and on and on and on dragged
the luncheon until $50, when, con-
fident Of a new record. the women
adjourned.

IN TAX PAYING
BAT TIE
Refunds Amount to More
Than Collections From
Delinquent Payers
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

In the first round of nation
wide battle between taxpayers and
the Federal Government, by which
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
hopes to put 10000, 900 or more tax
dodgers on the books, the Treas
ury took a bad beating.
Figures for August, made public
today, showed that $4,162.998 had
been collected in delinquent taxes
against $11 ,137, 900 refunded to tax.
payers because of illegal assess
ment.
From June 80 to October /, the
Treasury made tax refunds Of over
$48, 00O, 900, compared to $39.SI6,n00
for the same period last year.
At that rate the proceeds from
all foreign debts this year will not
make the refunds authorized TO
taxpayers by the Bureau OF Internal
Revenue. Some of the refunds
have been approved at the Treasury
and others ordered by the United
States Board of Tax Appeals and
the Federal Courts.
Probe Delinquency
AS the result of a survey show
ing that out of lie, 900, 900 popula-
ton slightly over 100000 make
income tax returns and only f.
100000 pay Federal taxes, the
Treasury has started an investiga-
ton to determine the cause for
delinquency.
In view Of the fact that the
census reports 100000 wage
earners and 10000, 900 engaged in
'gainful occupation" officials feel
that millions are violating the law
by failure to make tax returns.
An effort is also to be made. to
exercise more care in making tax
assessments. The annual report
to Congress disclosing in detail the
refunds during the year invariably
starts a battle against the Bureau
Of Internal Revenue.
These facts are expected to be
presented to the Couzens Senatorial
committee, investigating the Blu
reau Of Internal Revenue, as soon
as members get back to Washing
ton next month.
Figures Are Studied
Members Of the committee are
already making an informal study
Of the relationship between census
figures on age-earners and the
number which files income tax re-
turns. 1t was expected that Com.
missioner Of Internal Revenue d.
N. Blair would be asked to explain
the emergency in figures

ISSUE
Raiah of Peonch in Asking
Crown Promises
Reforms
By international News Service

EIMLA, India, Oct. Sir Hari
Singh, handsome target Of world
wide notoriety, today found a new
obstacle in his none too smooth
path to the begemmed throne Of
Kashmir and Jammu.
The Rajah Of Peonch,- adopted
SON and spiritual heir" of the
late Maharajah of Kashmir and
Jammu, placed his claim to the
throne, its $4,000, 900 annual in
come and control over 5000, 900
people before the Secretary Of the
Political Department Of India, ac-
cording to exclusive information re-
ceived by international News Serv-
ice.
Sir Harris real troubles started
when he was the victim of q black
mail plot which cost him $750.000
as the result Of his indiscretions in
Paris and London with Mrs. Maude
Robinson. Trouble added to trou-
BILE when he returned to India, and
was forced to undergo humiliating
ceremoniaIs to regain the good will
Of his uncle, the Maharajah. and
retain his right Of succession to
the throne.
There was talk at that time, and
later when Sir Harris escapades
were aired In the London courts,
that the adopted son might be named
the heir to the rich throne, the old
Maharajah having the right to
choose his successor.
The Ratah Of Peonch's claim was
based on his official adoption by
the Maharajah and what he charged
was Sir Harris failure to carry out
reforms promised by the Maharajah
four years ago. During the old
monarch's latter months, most of
the executive duties were in young
Singh's hands.
The reforms named included the
formation of an elective popular
assembly, the establishment Of q
high court, the raising of state en-
ployes' salaries and state aid OF
industries
Announcement of the projected
reforms. according to the Rajah,
was coincident with the appoint
ment OF Sir Hari as president of
the council of the regency, but due
20 Sir Harris desire to retain. full
control of the Maharajah's ship OF
state. his rival charged, the reforms
were never started.
The final say will rest with the
british government which must ap-
prove the successor to the throne.
Indian nationalists are said to
favor the Rajah, who also has the
support OF his brother, the Mahara-
jah of Peonch.
But the viceroy Of India, who
VIM speak Great Britain's will, is
said to favor Sir Hari.
Reforms He Promises
To further his chances Of success
sion, it was learned, Sir Hari has
Informed the India office that If
he becomes maharajah he will:
ALLOW Great Britain to con-
struct the first railway in Kashmir,
from Rawalpindi to Srinagar.
ALLOW Europeans to own prop
erty in Kashmir, revoking the old
prohibitory statute.
Appoint British officials to Inn
portant offices in the state service.
