Heretofore taxpayers have been urged to file their income tax re- turns early. The filing of returns this year is delayed, according to Burns Poe, Collector of Internal Revenue, pending the enactment of the new revenue act now before the Senate, which, as it passed the House, contains changed in regard to rates and other features. How ever, there is nothing to prevent taxpayer at this time from closing his books and computing his net in come Such computations will not be affected by any provisions of the new act. The actual preparation of the return itself, after the com putation, requires, in a majority c cases, but few minutes. There fore, it is advised that all figures and data be assembled, pending receipt of blanks by txpayers. When released, blanks will be sent to tax payers and also may be obtained at the office of Collector Poe.
 Forms 1899 and 1096 for making information returns are now avail able at offices of collec+ ors of in- ternal revenue and branch offices. Such returns are required of per sons ''in whatever capacity acting" who made to a single person during the year 1925 a payment of $1,000 or more, or to a married person payment of $2,500 or more. Such payments include salaries, rent, in- terest, 'or other fixed or determin- able gains, profits and income"

Wedding Bells at St. Philips Church


 The marriage of MT. Sydney Ma thewson Young and Miss Queenie Sumption took place at St. Philips church Monday evening, January 18th.
 The bride is one of our most pop ular young ladies. and though her family has not been here long in Wrangell, she has made a host of friends.
 Mr. Young is connected with the United States Bureau of Fisheries. and though perhaps not as we'll known in Wrangell as the bride, is most highly thought of by all those who have been fortunate enough to make his acquaintance.
 The newly married couple left on the Victoria for their honeymoon trip.
 The Sentinel extends to them hearty congratulations and it's best wishes for their future success.
 Miss Dorothy Johnson, the church organist, was at the piano, and the service used was of course the very impressive one of the prayer book.

AS the unavailing search

Mellett, crusading Canton
publisher slain at the door
Of his garage July 16, lag
ged through the ninth day,
Mayor S. NJ. Swartz, dis
satisfied with law enforce
ment in Canton late today
ordered the suspension Of
S. A. Lengel, chief of police.
Mayor Swartz said he suspended
Lengel because the chief was lax in
the enforcement of law and rendered
his department inefficient because he
had no control over his men.
Safety Director Earl Hexamer was
appointed acting head of the police
department. Lengers suspension was
effective Immediately. He will be
given hearing before the civil serv-
ice commission.
Lengel has been openly accused of
being derelict in his search for the
murderer and with failure to "clean
up the city" Within the last few
weeks he was reinstated as police
chief following a hearing before the
civil service commission on charges
of corruptness made largely by NAL
lett The chief at present has a libel
suit pending against the Canton Daily
News of which Mallett was resident
publisher.
Ora Slater Cincinnati detective who
came into the investigation of the
Mellett murder week ago tonight,

investigation and responsible to Pros
ecutor C. B. McClintock, is acting as

they are jettied along by other de-
tectives in the case.
More than a score of detectives, 70
Canton policemen and regular and
special Investigators, grilling scores
of underworld leaders here and else
where and travelling hundreds OF miles
in the dead of night and the glare OF
day to follow up vague leads in many
directions, have all proved unavaillng
in the hunt for the slayer.
Likewise, a reward of nearly $780,
coo, promises of protection and GER
tain degree of immunity to informants,
pleas to patriotism and justice and
hundreds of thousands of words OF
newspaper publicity have failed to un-
ravel the mystery which surrounds the
shooting of the publisher Theories
have been woven around individuals
and gangs" sometimes with evidence
that sounded promising, but could not
be clinched. Alleged bootleg kings
have been gril1ed; women drug addicts
have been questioned, suspected
higher ups have been interviewed

C CARS LICENSED

A total of 64,165 automobiles wers
registered in Arizona during the first
six months of 1925, the number repre-
senting an increase of 1856 over the
corresponding period of 1925, said
James H. Kerby, secretary of state,
in Douglas Saturday.
Total fees collected for the registra-
tion of automobiles in this period
amount to $3S9,62O, the report shows
as compared to a total of 1911, 1895

Two counties in the state, he de-
clares, already have exceeded their
total registrations for the entire 1926
year. They are Maricopa and Apache
counties. The number of cars regis
tered in Maricopa county on June 80
was 25,6SO. as compared with 1925

Kerby said. "My office mailed out
more than 211,OOO pieces Of mail dur
ing the year 1925. The office Of the
secretary of state is the largest de-
partment in the state operating with
but one executive, and for that reason,

DALLAS, Texas, JUS Ex-Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson tonight trailed
behind Dan Moody, youthful state at
torney general, in the race for the
democratic nomination for governor,
on the face of incomplete returns from
today's Texas primary.
Returns from 1873 out of 252 counties
in the state compiled by the Texas
election bureau gave Moody lead of
more than $4,000 votes over the
woman governor whom he seeks to
succeed and a majority over all OPP
ponents of more than 1900.
A majority of the total vote cast
is necessary for nomination with the
alternative of a run-off primary be-
highest votes. The figures for 1888
counties gave Moody 1OS,857; Mrs.
Ferguson 71,155.
Lynch Davidson. Houston lumber
man, had polled 3S.67S votes.
Moody's majority over all opponents
had gone above 5000 votes earlier to-
night. Later returns reduced it to a
little more than 1900, although his
lead still was regarded as substantial.
Should todays balloting not return
a majority for the leading candidate,
run-off primary will be held next
month, with the two highest candi-
dates contesting.
Precincts unheard from included
rural districts where Mrs. Ferguson
and her husband, former Governor
James E. Ferguson, always have been
strong, and some of thel arge city
precincts which Moody has claimed
