Record In Ford Tax

WASHINGTON, March P---The

100000 additional taxes from former
minority stockholders of the Ford
Motor company promises to produce
a valuable library of information and
precedents for future tar litigation.
The record of the hearings con-
Quoted by the United States board
of tax appeals, here ana Mt De-

and, in the opinion Of the score of
attorneys engaged in the fight, con-
tains a mass of information not
heretofore available in such con-
venient form relating to corporation
stock evaluation.
The knowledge, contributed by
legal authorities, taxation experts
and economists, is expected to go
far toward clarifying the nebulous
conception of how common stock
in a close corporation is to be ap-
praised, which has prevailed since
the federal income tax law went In

Prohibition Agents Go TO School in Washington
After 40 Years, Son Finds
Mother in Old Folks Home
In Blanchard Wis.

CHICAGO, March 5.LOver the hill
to the old folks home in the valley
near Blanchardville, Wis, went Mrs.
Sarah Hoisngton.
She had fought the good fight Now,
with the white hair of her SO years
tucked under a poke bonnet, and the
memories of unavailing toll and moth
erhood strung out into the past, she
bowed her head in resignation as if to
fate.
They took her in and gave her an
old folks homes comforts. Her hands
were gnarled with service for others.
There was a wistful look in her dim
ming eyes.
Those at the home knew. little about
her, because she told them nothing.
Life had tossed her UP. She was some
body's mother. But whose, no one
knew.
AS for Mrs. Hoisington, she thought
of the husband who had left her 40
years before to wander away, never
more to be heard from. She thought
Of the two children with whom she
had made her home, and who now
were dead
But most of all she thought of Willie,
cher Wullie'--the boy whom her hus-
band had taken with him almost half
a century before. Was he dead, too?
She wondered.

Meanwhile, Willie Hoisington had

He had married and moved to Chica-

fascinated him. Where was his moth

There came two daughters and then
a son. These grew up. They were
Willie's children. The past, the lost
legend of Willie's boyhood, mystified
his own children just as it did him.
One of Willie's daughters married
and two grand children came. The ma

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Picked
prohibition agents are going to school
herewith classrooms, teachers, desks,
blackboards, ink wells and every
thing.
They're being taught good man
ners, with special emphasis on the
constitutional sanctity of the home
though the home be humble one.
They're being taught too, to get
the "higher-ups' in big liquor-making
and liquor selling conspiracies.
General Lincoln g. Andrews and
his aids started the school. Andrews
wants it's graduates to rate 100
per cent in both capability and gentle-
manliness.
The students are being schooled
particularly to avoid all highhanded
and illegal tactics of which prohibit
tion officers have been accused in
the past.
Looking to more adequate punish
ment for the big boys behind
liquor vending plots, the school will
endeavor to turn out experts at both
to do with such cases.
With it's first semester just opened,
the prohibition inspectors school will
have 80 students for each period
of three weeks. During the next
eight or nine months, 800 men prob
ably will be trained.
The chief of the training division,
as this school is officially designated
is Webster Spates, a lawyer with
seven years experience in the attor-
ney generals office, six years private
practice in Miami, Fla, and now
legal adviser to Colonel James G..
Waddell supervisor of alcohol and
brewery control.
Schooling will be confined for the
present to Waddell's. alcohol and
brewery division, which handles per-
haps the two most important phases
of prohibition enforcement. Later
the idea of educating prohibition
agents probably will spread.
Inspectors will be brought here for
schooling from all over the United
States. They viii be taught prin-
cipally the intricacies Of alcohol and
brewery supervision but will be
tutored in all-round prohibition work,
also.
They will be taught to conduct
raids with polish and poise.
The faculty, selected by Spates and
Waddell, comprises the best experts
under General Andrews, who ap-
proved the school after Colonel Wad
dell had conceived the idea. The

FOES OF DUELLING
WIN TEST in COURT

BERLIN, April (R.-Opponents of
duelling with sabers among students
of German universities are continuing
their fight against what they call a
"barbarous survival of the middle
ages"
In the most famous test case of
recent years the Berlin court Of ap-
peals sustained a district court which
sentenced Paul Kruschko, Berlin
University law student to five months
in Jail. Kruschko was convicted of
manslaughter after the death of his
friendly opponent in duel
The students counsel argued that
"duelling with sabers is one of the
least dangerous forms of sport, less
dangerous than boxing Since 1864,
counsel pointed out, only nine students
died as a result of duelling. All pos
sible precautions, such as body shields,
sterilized sabers and the attendance
Of physician were taken, he said
and the fact that Kruschos opponent
died as a result of blood poisoning
from wound in the chest must be
considered an unavoidable accident

Beethoven Rewarded
With Glass Diamond

BERLIN, Apr. 2 1Cz0)-The world
wide celebration of the centenary of
the death of Ludwig Won Beethoven
recalls to German admirers of the
great composer the little known story
of the famous Ninth Symphony"
masterpiece which a king rewarded
with fake diamond ring.
The symphony was dedicated to
King Frederick William III of Prus-
STA about 90 years ago Beethoven was
in his customary financial straits, and
he expected a substantial reward. The
King sent n letter of praise and a
diamond ring, which Beethoven show
ed to a friend with the remark How
can live off that?' He cherished the
gift however, until a few years be-
fore his death when he was on the
point of starvation and offered it for
sale to jeweler. Beethoven was
stunned to learn that the supposed
costly ring contained only glass stones
and was virtually valueless. At that
time King Frederick was obtaining
grants of $7,00O,OOO a year from the
people for personal expenditures.

BOWLERS NOW FIGHT

BY thu Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEORIA, ILL.,, March 1.-THE pro-
fessional-amateur fight now has en-
tered the sport of bowling.
What constitutes professionalism in
the bowling world was a question be-
fore a secret conclave of the executive
committee of the American Bowling
Congress today.
Efforts of promoters of a worlds
classic tournament at Detroit to de-
termine a tenpin champion, who
would defend his title every two
months, will be contested by American
Bowling Congress officials. headed by
Secretary A. l.. Langtry of the inter
national organization.
Langtry plans to ask that all com
petitors in the Detroit event be bar
red from taking part in future Amer
lean Bowling Congress tournaments
on the ground that they would be
professionals.
Alley managers are pushing the
world classic, contending that a
legitimate champion is not decided
at the American Bowling Congress
meet because of the limited number of
games rolled.
