TERRIER MOURNED
BY MANY FRIENDS
"Tax," Collector C. M. Tow
ers' Three-Legged Pet
Dog Succumbs.

TAX" the three-legged fox terrier
belonging to Tax Collector Chatham M.
Towers, died yesterday. mourned by a
host OF friends. He had been Ill for
about week.
The history of Tax is perhaps
unique in the annals of dogdom. He
first became known to history eight
years ago, when as a 3-day-old puppy
he was brought to the tax collector
office and exhibited by Poundmaster
Smith. Tax" owed his continued ex-
istence to the remarkable fact that he
had but three legs, all perfectly formed.
There wasn't the slightest trace OF a
fourth. He was an appealing little
figure and Mr.. Towers adopted him,
christened him and proceeded to bring
him up.
Deserted by Mother.
''Tax" was bottle baby, his natural
mother having cruelty deserted him, but
his foster parents more than made up
for this lack. He was the pride of the
Towers household particularly affec-
tionate toward Mr.. Towers two grand
children, Chatham and Betty Noting
ham.
His shortage in the matter Of legs
handicapped him not a whit in the pur-
suit of rats. cats and other fair game
for one of his breed. He could, and
frequently did, whip four-legged dogs

BY the Associated Press.


THE HAGUE, January 1.-THE
creditor powers at the second Hague

TO come to terms this morning after
days of argument about details. The
demand gave new life to the conference,
and Foreign Minister Curtis of Ger
many postponed his departure for the
League Council at Geneva to draw up
written proposals for further discussion.
Premier Tardieu of France and
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Snowden
of England discovered last night that
the work Of the subcommittee had
been held up because the German men,
bers had received no instruction. They
were not at all pleased at the prospect
of further delay, and in the course
of the most animated session of the
morning that the creditors could wait
no longer for them to take a definite
position.
The chief points at issue were
whether military sanctions as a guaran-
tee OF German payments under the
Young plan should continue as part OF
the allied reparations policy, the ques-
ton of an eventual moratorium ana
the maturity dates for installments o!
payments.
After considering the wri ten German
proposals on restricting assigned rev.

creditors tonight handed the German
delegation a revised proposal on thu
moratorium, which provides that tn,
interested parties shall discuss on the

article in which Adams was
quoted as saying that the officers

and wounding one, were mot

The North Carolinian said
such an utterance was unworthy

Adams had exercised his usual
propensity for saying the wrong

Coast Guard commandant, has

Official washington looked askance
last night at the statement credited In
a current popular publication to DR..
Clarence True Wilson, general secretary
to the Methodist Board of Temperance,
in which he was represented as con-
tending that Washington can never be-
come "a model of prohibition enforce
ment," in line with President Hoover's
wishes, as long as dry agents are barred
by the fourth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution from invading the
homes Of the Nation.
Treasury Department authorities in
sisted that DR.. Wilson's printed idea
that "a mans home is not any longer
his castle" is misconception, as
Secretary Melons department has fire.
quently ruled that homemade spirits
which are consumed personally by the
maker and are not placed in transport
tation, sale or given away, do not con-
travene the prohibition law.
The dictum of DR.. - Wilson that
Washington must be made bone-dry,
and Washington can be made bone

objected to the theory that dry agents
