Collins Cross Examined.
Brides insistance led to cross-ex.
animation of Assistant District Attor-
ney Collins by Nal Davidson, presiding
officer Of the board. Davidson demanded
to know II there WIZ any reason why
the District attorneys Office could not
serve Mrs. Blalock with a subpoena TO
insure her presence here Wednesday.
Collins replied that he doubted
whether any such right was invested in
the District attorneys Office and also
doubted whether the necessary expense
would be justified Davidson then asked
him If he thought Mrs. Blalock could
be kept here until next Tuesday morn
ing. The assistant District attorney
replied that Mrs. Blalock now holds a
position in Chicago and that she is
anxious to get back to her work, but
told the board he would do all in his
power to keep her here. MIR. Bride re-
piled that this was not satisfactory to
him and that he would have to have
some more definite assurance before
consenting to the continuance.
When this definite assurance" was
not forthcoming the board held con-
sultation and decided to override the
request for q continuance, and Mrs
Blalock was called to the stand as the
prosecution began its case.
Attorney Rebuked.
Early in the argument Mr. Mackey
was rebuked by the board for statements
during the argument for continuance.
After opposing the suggested con-
tinuance, Mr. Mackey told the board
that he was going to prove Burlingame
had improper relations with Mrs.
Blalock.
Defense Attorney Leahy jumped to his
bid Mr.. Mackey from INDUCING In these
abusive TRADES calculated to poison the
character of the defendant In the eyes
OF the board" Maj Davidson on this
objection, ordered Mr. Mackey to con-
fine himself to arguments proper at this
stage Of the case.
Mr.. Blanton, who was present at the
opening OF the hearing left the room
when he was given assurance by de-
tense counsel that they were going to
admit the origin of the disputed let
tiers as charged by the prosecution and
that his presence would not be neceS-
sary.
Asked About Guarantee.
Before the decision to proceed was
reached, Mai. Dawson asked Assistant
United States Attorney Collins If he
would guarantee Mrs. Blalock's appear
ance before the Trial Board Tuesday

Washington Day Program
Ends in Death.

JACKSONVILLE ILL.,, February 3D.
The stately minuet, being danced at
a Washington day program in the Illi-
nois woman's College gymnasium last
night, turned into frenzied rush for
exits when fire broke out on the GYM
nasium stage.
Miss Eugenia Van Norman Of Jasper,
Ind, was killed when she leaped from
a second story window. Miss Winifred
Wackerle, college matron, was burned,
probably fatally. Fifteen others were
burned or injured enough to require
hospital attention, among them being
Mrs. Clarence P. McClelland, wife of the
college president Her right leg was
fractured when she jumped from a
window.
Many of the 200 women in the GYM
naSium wore the petticoated, wide skirt

frantically toward the doors.
Miss Wackerle was one of the few
to remain unexcited. She was near the
stage. close to the fire. and begged the
others to take their time, assuring them
there was no danger.
Damage to the gymnasium was Slight,
and except for the frenzied rush there
need have been no dead or injured,
fire officials said.
The program was almost over. The
stage had been turned over to a pho
tographer while costumed girls exhibited
Colonial dances on the main floor. The
photographer had taken one fiashlight
picture and was getting instructions for
another.
He had just left the stage when the
curtains, which he closed to keep the
flash powder from the auditorium burst
into flames. The fire quickly enveloped
the other scenery. but was extinguished

NAT|ONAL|STS WIN
DECISIVE VICTORY
1000 Chinese RevoIters Are
Taken-Two Large Retreat
+ ing Groups Surrounded.

By the Associated Press.
CHEFOO, China, February 23.-Na-
tienalist China struck hard at the first
revolt of consequence against its au-
thority, officers returning here today
from yesterdays battle with the forces
of Chang Tsung Chang, former Shan
tung war lord, revealed. The victory
appeared TO have been much more COM
plete than was at first indicated.
Gen. Liu Chen-Nien, Nationalist
commander. returning to Chefoo today,
said that his forces had taken more
than, 900 prisoners. He said large
party of the revolters were surrounded
at Kusien, IS miles west of Chefoo.
Another large party retrcating toward
Tenschow has been surrounded and is
expected TO surrender momentariy.
The Nationalist commander said 1t
had been established reliably that Gen.
Chang TSung- Chang was directing per-
sonally the movements OF the reVoitlng
Nationalist soldiers, although his exact
location in the area affected by the
flghting was not known. A Russian
general Nachaeff. who commanded his
armored trains when Chang was war
lord OF Shantung, is assisting him.
Ammunition Captured.
A considerable quantity of ammuni-
ton and arms was taken by the Nation
alists in the battle yesterday. This was
augmented today with arrival OF 10000
rounds of ammunition on the Nationalist
Cl,nboat Chuyu, which also brought
$4,000 (MexicanJ for the use OF the
troops.
The battle. although firing was heard
here only Friday, lasted two days. and
apparently has dealt telling blow at
the incipient revolt by which Chang
hoped to regain his former overlordship
of Shantung.
Chang Tsung-Chang tried two ave-
nues of approach in his efforts to invest
the city and both failed. He nrst sent
en1isssries to Gen. Leu Chen Men, COM
manding the Chefoo garrison, and at
tempted to persuade MIN to join the
revolt. but Lieu Chen-Nien remained
loyal to the Marking government. Spies
sent to recruit other supporters were
captured
200 Revoiters Killed.
A battle. with lines ranging from 10
TO 20 miles west OF Cne1oo, was begun
then, this ending. temporarily at least,
with defeat for the revolters. who lost
200 dead, 800 prisoners and consider
able arms and ammunition. One hun
dred Nationalist were killed.
Part of the Nationalist strategy to-
day seemed to be concentration of a
part of their forces at Ninghaichow, 20
miles southeast of Chefoo. in an effort
to draw attack there from the city itself
Although Chefoo was outwardly quiet
there was an atmosphere of apprehen-
sion and precautions against looting In
event of the city's capture were being
taken. Martial law was declared yes
terday after arrest Of two Of Chang's
spies.
Three japanese and one British de-
stroyer are off Chefoo now, while the
United States cruiser is expected Sum
day night from Manila.

NEW YORK, February 23.--Give a
moment to the story of taxi driver
who disarmed a holdup man, picked up
the thugs gun and later learned that
the letter OF the law can spell j-a-i-l
even for an honest, well meaning citi-
zen.
To get the proper background. go back
about three weeks and see Oliver Dear
dorff of Brooklyn jubilant over the taxi
plotting job he's just landed after three
monthS of searching for work. Mrs.
Deardorff and the two youngsters are
iubilant. also. for It's no fun trying to
live in New York with all the money
going out and none coming In.
Well. the taxi business was going
pretty well. 1t was good last night and
early this morning, too. after the sea-
sons heaviest fall OF snow. But then
Oliver Dearborn got his bad break.
He was cruising through the Bronx
looking for fares when man hailed
him. Dearborn stopped and the man
poked a revolver into his face.
Captures Revolver.
ooh, no, you don't" said Dearborn
striking the thugs wrist blow that
sent the weapon to the pavement. The
bandit fed. and the chauffeur picked
up the gun. He looked around for q po-
liceman, but none was in sight, so he
put the revolver on the seat and stepped
on the gas.
A few hours later he spied Patrolman
George Zeigers, to whom he told his
story. The tale didn't sound just right
to the officer apparently. for he arrested
Dearborn and took him to the station
ON charge Of possessing firearms with
out q permit.
In court yesterday morning Dearborn
again told his story. This time to Mag
istrats bayfield,.
"You admit having the gun in your
possession?" queried the magistrate.
Sure, your honor" said Dearborn IT
had it, but was trying to get rid OF II
by giving 1t to the policeman"

YOUR INCOME TAX.
No. 20. So.

If property was acquired by

when II was worth Sl20. and
then gave it TO his son, who, in
1895, gave 1t to his wife, the
stock then being worth $3.50 a
share. If In 1928 the wife sold
the stock for $500 a share, the
taxable gain is not $50 but 500
a share. the gain over the cost TO
the preceding owner who did not
acquire the stock by gift.
In computing the gain or loss
from the sale or other disposition
of property acquired by gift or
transfer In trust ON or before
December 81. 1920. the basis is
the fair market value OF such
property at the time of acquiSi-

estate having q fair market value
Of $4,000: he sold II in 1923
for $4,000. The original cost to
the donor was $4,000. The tax
