Until afflicted by sinus trouble,

the leading first-sacker of his day.

But Davis did pay off and

REVENUE BILL
IN SHAPE FOR
final ACTION
Income Tax Restored in
Conference; Levies on
j. Autos, Dues Retained;
Quick Vote Seen
fBy The Associated Press. a,

WARRINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20.-The
revenue bill, whipped into shade after
four months of constant work, provid-
ing for tax reduction of 1881 100000
this year, $343, 100000 thereafter, and
for changes in the administrative fea-
lures of the present income tax law,
is ready for its final trip through con-
gress.
Representing a compromise on many
provisions between the senate and
house, the bill will be taken before
each branch for ratification the first of
next week and if given approval will be
sent to the White House Tor the sigma
ture of President Coolidge
The measure will beco:..c law before
the end of next week under this pro-
gram, its managers believe, with many
of its provisions for widespread reduc-
tions in taxes becoming effective i'm
mediately.
The lowered income taxes will be eff
fective on incomes of last year on
which taxes are payable by March Is.
Taxes eliminated by the senate but
restored in conference on the insist
ence of the house conrerees, include
those on automobile passenger cars, adj
missions and dues and inheritances.
While the house gained its main
point, retention of the modified inher-
itance rates with provision for 80
per cent credit on account of payments
on state inheritance payments, it was
forced to yield to the senate's demand
for a retroactive cut in this tax where
by the increased rates in effect since
1924 would be eliminated in favor of
the lower rates applying in the 1871
law.
The inheritance tax, which proved to
be the main stumbling block in the
conferences, promises to be the subject
of renewed controversy in both the SEN
ate and house when the compromise
bill comes up for approval. Quick agree
ment on other provisions are looked
for.

Action Follows Investi-
CATION by Post Office
on Complaint Of St.
Louis Residents
(By The Associated Press.)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 20.--
Clarence Saunders Of Memphis,
Tenn, former president of the
Piggly Wiggly corporation ives
indicted by a federal grand jury
here today on a charge Of using
the mails to defraud in sale of
corporation stock in 1928. Bond
was fixed at $500. The in
dictment was returned after an
investigation made by postoffice
inspectors under section 215 Of
the federal penal code, covering
use Of the mails to further a
scheme to defraud, felony.
Twelve witnesses appeared before the
grand jury Thursday, including seven
residents Of Memphis who were Off
GERS or employees associated with Saun-
ders
The postoffice inquiry resulted from
complaints of some of the approximate
ly 1900 St. Louisans who bought Piggy
Wiggly stock and lost money.
The indictment contains six counts,
each of which carries a maximum pen
atty Of five years in prison and Sl0.-
600 fine or both.
Five of the counts were based prin-
cipally on testimony Of Charles A. Hall,
Calvin Bartlett, ]. d. Killoren, z. r..
Standard and p. w. Tierney all OF St..
Louis, that they received letters from
Saunders early in 1923 stating he was
glad they had bought stock in the COM
pany and urging them to get others
to invest. The sixth count was based
on a letter from Saunders to Hall in
cluding cancelled notes in payment for
stock.
The indictment charges that Saunders
made false and fraudulent repTesen-
tations" in newspaper advertisements,
| pamphlets, circulars and letters
These representations, the indict-
ment states, were that he had acquired
| $4,000 shares of common stock OF Pig
gly Wggly corporation, chain grocery
store system, which ne would sell in
| blocks of not more than 1000 shares
50 the public might participate in the
prosperity and profits Of the company.
and that the corporation was paying
and would continue to pay out Of earn
ings quarterly dividend of 81 a share.
Saunders, in fact, the Indictment
charges, had no intention that the pub
lie should participate in the company's
profit and converted the money obtain
ed from stock sales to his own uses.
namely, to purchase other stock to pro-
| feet himself IN MARGINAL stoen nst -
chases and to repay loans made to him
for purchase Of stocks. Further alle-
cations were that Saunders did not
limit public stock sales to 1000 shares
to person and that earnings weer in
sufficient to pay the dividends prom
ised
