lars were blocked today by a deci-
sion of the United States board of
tax appeals denying the Indiana
Rubber and Insulated Wire Com
pany of Jonesboro the right to de-
duct certain special salaries paid to
officers during the war boom era in
1918.
The decision turned upon whether
the board of directors of the cor
poration would deduct from 1918
income some $4,000 in bonus sal
aries awarded out of 1918 income
to two ranking officers of the COM
pany at a board meeting in jan

the court, that inasmuch as the spe-
cial salaries were not actually voted
in 1918 they could not be deducted
from 1918 income.
The bonus was not allowed by the
corporation in 1919, since it had
been resorted to merely to absorb
some of the unusual wartime profits.

OGDEN MOVES
TO PUNISH IN
MOB KILLINGS
Attorney General Not to
Let Marion Jury'S
No-Action Stand.
STATUTE PROVIDES WAY
Sheriff'S Impeachment Is
Possible Through Mere
Fact of LynChing.
STATUTE PROVIDES WAY

Sheriff Jacob Campbell of Grant
county is not yet through with the
Marion lynching case although a
grand jury there praised and ex-
onerated him for his conduct in
permitting a mob to break into his
Jail and lynch two Negroes in the
courthouse square
For the state of Indiana, through
its encouragement, is to take a
hand, as the law provides when
local government fails to function.
Although combining himself to the
cryptic statement that he will give
due consideration and immediate
attention" to the Marion matter,
Attorney-General James M. Ogden
is known to be preparing to proceed
against Campbell and perhaps GER
tain leaders of the mob.
Waiting on Jury
Up to this time, Ogden had de-
clared he was waiting to give the
grand jury an opportunity to act.
After months investigation the
grand jury adjourned Thursday
without indicting a single member
of the mob and giving high praise
for CampbellS conduct.
An Indiana statute provides that
when this occurs, the attorney-gen-
eral shall proceed to file affidavit
for impeachment against the sheriff
and that the lynching shall be
prima facie evidence he has been
derelict in his duty.
Campbell would be tried on these
charges in Grant county, where
there is believed small hope for
conviction. But should he be found
guilty, he will be ousted from Office
and fined $1,000.
On Leslie Probe Group
Even if ousted as sheriff, he still
might retain the post of Grant
county Republican chairman, which
he now holds. He also is a member
of Governor Harry G. Leslie's crime
commission.
The Governor has punished him to
the extent that he publicly an
nounced Campbell no longer is con-
sidered as among the candidates for
the Indiana state reformatory
superintendency
Action from Ogden is expected
within the next twenty-four or
forty-eight hours. He refused today
to disclose its exact nature.
But following the grand jury in
action Thursday, he had this to say
when asked if action by his office
would be delayed until after the
November election:
This is not a political matter. 1t
is entirely too important to be con-
sidered in political light.
Sent His Deputies
Immediately after the lynching,
Ogden sent Merl M. Wall and Earl
E. Stroup, deputy attorneys general,
to Marion to aid the investigation.
They procured five af1davits against
the mob leaders but Judge o. D.
Clawson refused to acknowledge
them.
They may return again to Marion
and make all effort to get citizen
to sign the affidavit against Camp
bell, it was said.
Ogden has huge file of informa-
ton on the Marion case. 1t in
cludeS the names of numerous mob
leaders and letters and newspaper
clippings decrying mob rule in Hoo

SANTANA DO LIVRAMENTO
Brazil, Oct. 10.-The "gauchos" OF
southern Brazil, hard riding and
fighting men of great cattle coun-
try, have changed their picturesque
costumes for soldiers khaki. They
have left the ranges for the battle
front, and hundreds of them are
boarding troop trains here, bound
for action which the RevolutionistS
hope will lead them to Sac Paulo
and Rio De Janeiro.
Accompanied by General Miguel
Luis De Cunha, chief of the rebel
frontier forces, 1 watched several
cavalry troops entrain for the state
of Parana. The majority were vol
unteerS ranging between the ages OF
18 and Is. They we're well equipped

Trains have been carrying forces
northward to join General Miguel

night, it is understood, to avoid the
danger of attack by federal air.

Streets Almost Deserted
The streets of SAINT Ana, frontier
town on the Uruguayan border in
SouthernmoSt brazil, practically were
deserted today. Most of the men in
the town and the vicinity have al
ready gone north in the forces
which the RevolutioniSts plan to
send against the federal strong
holds.
Revolutionary leaders claimed
steady progress. Francisco Flores
Da Cunha, a rebel leader, told the
correspondent that forces advanc-
ing southwark on Sac Paulo from
the state of Minas GeraeS had cap
tured the town of Lorena, in the
state of Sac Paulo, containing one
of the principal federal ammunition
factories. The capture of Lorena
cut off railway communication be-
tween Sac Paulo and Rio De Janeiro
Da Cunha said.
He declared that Lorianapolis,
island capital of the state of Santa
Catharina, was the only important
city in southern Brazil not held by
revolutionists, but that it was ex-
pected to fall before a heavy siege
soon.

A British spokesman stated his gov
ernment'S position:
Great Britain is anxious and willing
to do everything she can for peace and
for improving the machinery for keep
ing the peace, and thus giving security
against war, but any further military
commitments are absolutely impossible.
For Great Britain to attempt any
more of these would be tantamount to
tying her down to engage in military
operations without being able to con-
troll the situation from which they have
arisen. No British government could
undertake such commitments. 1t would
be contrary to the feeling of the whole
British people,"
The statement, observers commented,
left the conference just where it was
until week ago, when it was on the
verge OF breakdown as a flve-power par
ley. The American delegation then is
sued statement declaring willingness
to consider, with an entirely open

Great Britain, even with this offer as
inducement, has not been able to sat-
iSfy France on security. Italy's de-

Britain, whose policy has been to be as
strong on the sea as the two principal
European powers, may have to build up

With imminent failure of agreement
