pearance one of the features of the
week during which the Cony High
party and many other similar groups
will be in Washington. A letter ten
tatively suggesting such an arrange
ment was dispatched to the manager
of the Washington Keith's Theatre,
who replied most favorably. The
theater manager proposed that the
boys appear at the theatre for a try
out on the afternoon of their arrival
here, Saturday, May 1.
1t is of course not at all certain
that the project will carry through
to an appearance of the Augusta boys
on the regular vaudeville program of
the Keith house, but it has been point
ed out that with so many. student
groups in the National Capital at that
time the act would have a real box
office appeal.
Charles p. Kinsman, loyal alumnus
Of Cony High School and long time
assistant in organizing Chizzle Wiz
Ae minstrel shows, helped to con-
ceive, rehearse and stage the Yiddish

| working with Haskell and Burke pre-
pairing an act which will include rep
artee and provide opportunity for the
two boys to show their wares as in
strumentalists.
Haskell is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.

sored at the Y. NJ. C. A. by the
Knights of the Round Table will be
run off today and very keen compe-
tition is looked for. Not all of the
matches were completed last evening
so that it was not possible to say
who would be in the semi-finals, but
it looked then as If the Overlook
family would be represented by
three contestants, Royal Overlook,
Elwood Overlook and Francis Over
lock still being in the race. The fl
nails will be for 100 points instead of
80 points as have been the other
games. The winner will be the guest
of honor at a meeting and banquet
of the Knights of the Round Table
and will receive a beautiful loving
cup. This meeting will be open TO
the boys and to the girls as well and
it is expected that it will be largely
attended.

The fame Of Cony High Schools
student entertainers has spread. and
there is a good possibility that when
the high school senior party makes
its trip to the National Capital the
first week in May an adaptation Of
one of the acts from the recent sue
cessful 35th annual Chizzle WHILE
minstrels will be presented on the
stage of the Washington Is, +. Keith
Theatre.
One Of the best splendid group of
acts in the second part of the min
strel show of this year was that billed
as THE Hebrew Tiumvir ate" in
which Kenneth Haskell, Arthur Burke
and Lauren Bagley appeared in &C.
centric costumes and makeup and
gave clever line of patter and mu-
steal selections. "Yiddish Yokels
and Yodels' was the program desig-
nation of the number, and some real
entertainment was provided. At
that time many in the audience re-
marked that the presentation was of
vaudeville caliber.
But two of the original trio will
appear in the act which is being
adadpted with view to possible
presentation in Washington. Ken"
Harkell and Farmer" Burke being
the pair which will make that trip
the first of May. Both of these boys
besides their participation in the min
strels second part, were among the
six black face end-men in the min
strel show. Yo' ng Haskell scored
one of the individual hits of the show
by his rendition of II Wish't Was in
Peoria" and Burke brought down the
house with He Left Her Behind Be-

GAME COMMISSION BRINGS AT
 LANTA HUNTER BEFORE THE ' COURT

Appearing by attorney, Mr. s. c. Dobbs of Atlanta, Georgia plead guil- ty in the district court for having hunted in Southeastern Alaska in May 1925 without having obtained a non- resident hunting license.
 Mr. Walker of the Biological survey states that Dobbs and MT. Won Len gerke of New York were guests of MT. J. H. Cam of Lisianski, and while MT. Won Lengerke obtained his license in the proper manner, Dobbs evaded the obtaining of one, and that the trophy which Dobbs killed had been snug gled out of the Territory. He also states that when it became known that the wild life protective officers were working on the case, MT. Len gerke endeavored to straighten up the matter by taking out license for Dobbs. This method of settlement was refused, and when all available information was at hand the case was filed by information in the district court.
 MT. Dobb, through his attorney, H. L Faulkner paid the fifty dollar non- resident hunting license fee and was fined fifty dollars and costs.

EXCESS PROFIT TAX
METHOD APPROVED
Senate Adopts Amendment
Authorizing Computation
Plan Treasury Used.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Quietly and almost without attract
ing anN attention. the Treasury De
partment has made move which will
save the corporations and business
world generally about SIS 100000 in
taxes and mary times that in imam
ciai emba assnent. For the Senate
has adopted. at the suggestion OF the
Treas ury an amendment to the reve-
nue. bill whereby the existing reeula
ton on which virtually all the excess
profits tax cases of previous years
were settled will not he dist urbed.
1t all resulted from decision Of
the Supreme Court Of the United
States in respect to a munition tax
case. Lawyers and experts promptly
drew the inference that Ill excess
profits tax cases were affected. and
the Treasury shared the view to such
an extent that the amendment was
promptly inserted.
The point at issue was whether the
payment of income taxes on March
IL OF subsequent inslallment dates In
any year permitted the corporal ton
to regard the payments az coming out
Of surplus for the year in which
taxes were paid or the preceding
year: 1t was important because ex-
cess profits taxes were computed on
the relationship of earnings to in
vested capital. If the surplus for the
year 1918, for instance. were $lo,0oo,-
600, and a tax payment of 81 .2ho,-
600 We're made in March, 1919. the
question was whether the surplus for
1918 was $3.50. 900 or f10.000.0oo.
The Treasury has always figured
that it came out of the surplus OF
the year on which the tax returns
were computed. namely 1913 In the
illustration given. And that ruling
now will lie written into law ana vail
