j. S. COLLECTORS
BRANDED AS THIEF
Efficient Deputy Attempts
Suicide When Caught.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The most eff
fcient deputy income tax collector
who ever worked in the Chicago col
lector's Office was under arrest here
today charged with embezzling be-
tween $12, 900 and $4,000 Of Govern
ment funds. He is Edward Selb-
mann, chief deputy field collector.
He confessed his theft and tried to
commit suicide in the office of Col
lector Mabel Reinecke. Deputy
United States Marshal Hal Carr
wrested his revolver from his hand
after the Safety catch had caught
when Selbmann pulled the trigger.
Selbmann, who is Ga, once was an
officer in the Prussian Guard, and
his major passion in life was eff
cheney. During his two years as
chief field collector he had reduced
his pay roll 35 per cent and increased
the efficiency rating in his depart
ment 100 per cent, according to Mrs.
Reinecke.
Selbmann's allied method Of de-
frauding the Government was the
diversion of delinquent income taxes
to his own use. Deficits were made
up by further appropriation of funds
when discovery seemed imminent.
Last week. however, his efficiency
lapsed when a 5000 check should
lave been covered up, his appropria-
ms were discovered, and he was
called before Mrs. Reinecke and in.
telligence officers.

THE perpetual cry of some of our

We are the richest of the great ma

belief this nation has been built.
Your professional pacifist is contin-

at our modest army and navy. He
demands that we dishand them, that
we tear down the national defense.
His theory is perhaps that because
every one else owes us money, every

Before the marriage his name was

Marriage is civil contract, ana
the proper person to tie the knot is
