vides in such cases that a 'rea-
sonable allowance as compensa-
ton for personal services" shall

business in which both personal
services and capital are material
incon?e-pr0ducing factors, a net
profit Of $4,000. The IS per cent
credit is computed on 20 per cent
Of $4,000, or $4,000. The amount
payable is the tax on $4,000,

could institute an inquiry into the

GIRL WHO SLEW

NEW YORK, July 20 Q.N.S.l..-
The tragic case Of 13.year-old Cath.
crime Crawford. of Keyport. N. j.,
who shot and killed her father in
defense Of her henor. today evoked
widespread comment and no little
sympathy among social workers,
lawyers and police officials.
Sentiment seemed to be that the
girl had no alternative but to pro-
tect herself under the circumstances,
and that she should be dealt with
leniently by the law. And she prob
ably will be.
Today there were indications that
she may never be brought to trial.
CertainlNH not for murder, for the
charge OF murder already has been
changed to ''involuntary man
slaughter"
Freed From Jail
She was freed from Jail under a
nominal bail of $500 and was al
lowed to go to the farm of her
grandmother, near Princeton. n. j.
Catherine told her story with
simple, childlike directness, ever
varying In details. Her mother had
gone to work in a cloak factory
at Freehold and she was left alone
in bed with her sister and two
brothers. Her father, George H.
Crawford, a constable, called her TO
his bedroom.
Daddy had come home drunk
the night BEFORE" she explained.
Inside the room, she Indicated
her fear Of him and as he came
toward her she backed away. He
struck her, she said.
'I saw his gun on the bureau so
took it and fired" she added In
tremulous tones.
just Like q Child
She ran from the house, scream
ing. Her mother was notified,
rushed home from the factory and
connforted her. Catherine Is tiny
for her age and child-like in
denneanur. She threw her arms
about her mother and sobbed.
LAWYERS commenting on the case
today were not in agreement that
Catherine was justified in killing
her father. But they were agreed
she should be extended clemency
by New Jersey justice. Men, touched
by the child's poignant story, upheld
the girls fear-stricken action.
Women lawyers thought, however
that she should have told of preVi-
Gus attempts Of her father to at
tack her.

killing him." said Attorney Anton

that an indictment will be returned

from the same platform, and Page
in the general election Of Novem.
ber s.
The past week all have spoken
from the same platform; and Page
ana Mapp from the same platform
with Brown, In Lynchburg. which
was unusual In having the candidate
already nominated by two parties
set forth his views along with two
candidates from the same party de-
pendent upon q primary yet to be
held. Politicians claim that this had
never happened before in the history
Of Virginia politics.
However, where Mapp and Page
spoke on the same platform with
Brown, Mapp had little to say about
the Republican, but 1t turned out to
be q battle Of wits between Page
and Brown. Brown spoke first and
Page followed.
Brown Hits RaskOb
Browns attack In chief was on
Al Smith, Raskob, and Tammany,
and hit them ae the issue that would
be foremost in Virginia during the
coming campaign. He said that
the only reason the. Democrats
nominated AL Smith was that they
believed he was the only man that
could win in the presidential alec.
tion. He said his friends would
have him believe that Smith was
dead, but that he had heard Of no
funeral being held in which either
Smith or Raslob was the honoree.
"And this IL the Smith who. inn.
mediately after his nomination de.
fled the convention which had nom.
mated him on the question of pro-
hibition and chose as his lieutenant
Raskob. who said that he was Ieay.
ing the Republican party to use the
Democratic party as a tool in get.
ting rid OF that "damnable affl;a.
tion" prohibition, Brown declared.
II am not going to be used as
a tool by Smith, Raskob, or anyone
else. Raskob has thrown down the
gage Of battle, saying he would not
accept defeat. Smith and his pro.
tese are not dead---they are reactins
to the sting Of defeat and are
working to put the thing over in
1882"
Brown declared he had been writ.
ten out Of the Depocratic party
last August. but that he had not
been invited to return, and that he
would never return to the Demo
cratic party.
Turns Story on Brown
Page referred to an incident
when he and Browns father were
young attorneys in Danville. and
said that Browns father had to
appear before the council of Dan.
vile. which. at that time. was com.
posed of seven whites and five
negroes forced upon the people by
the Republican party and now he,
DIR. Brown. could not stand the
Democratic party because Of Smith
and Raskob. but that ne wants the
people OF Virginia to go over to
that same Republican party.
Since the Civil War, the Thir.
teenth. Fourteenth, and Fifteenth
Amendments have been added. Thev
are nails with which the South was
crucified. and. yet. DR.. Brown

the red of the clothes, the old WON
