BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, March T. The
body of blonde woman, believed to be
so to 60 years old, was found today in
side one of two trunks taken to the
morgue from a rooming house at 824
North Fifth street.
She is believed to have been beaten
to death by slayer, who took we'll
planned precautions that her body
should not be discovered until he had
chance to get away.
The discovery came after the pro-
prietor of the lodging house, suspicious
of the actions of man who engaged a
room there last Saturday, called police.
Detectives broke a new, heavy pad
locked trunk Inside they found an
other trunk, also locked. The odor
which came from it was such that they
decided to move the two trunks to the
morgue Immediately.
Apparel on Smaller Trunk.
On top of the smaller trunk was a
neatly folded, freshly Numbered wom-
ans nightgown, piece of underwear
and black and white sweater. Other
women's wearing apparel, including
underwear and some dresses had been
stuffed around the inner trunk, ap-
parently to keep it from rattling The
entire trunk was covered with black
oilcloth.
AS the lid of the smaller trunk was
opened, detectives saw the body. It
was well clothed in a black figured
dress, shoes and stockings, but no hat
On a finger was a diamond ring, and
on one arm a bracelet, which detectives
said was of good quality. On the left
arm was wrist watch which had run
down. Police said the time it stopped
had not been noted, but that they be-
lieved the woman had been dead about
week.
Trunks Unusually Heavy.
The woman apparently weighed about
$50 pounds. Her body was left in the
trunk pending arrival at the morgue of
DR.. William W. Wadsworth, coroner's
physician, and other investigators from
the coroner's Office.
The proprietor of the rooming house
said the man who engaged the room
Saturday had been seen but twice since.
Detectives said the inside of the other
trunk contained a label which indi-
Gated locksmith in Atlantic City had
done repair job on it. The outside
trunk was equipped with a new clasp.
The two trunks were so heavy 1t took
three detectives to carry them to a
patrol wagon.
Detectives in Atlantic City immediate
ly were notified and are conducting an
investigation at the seashore to see if
the owner Of the trunk could be estab-
lished.

Your Income Tax
No. 7
Returns of Husband and
Wife.

If husband and wife should each
have a net income in excess Of $4,000,
but neither a net income in excess of
So 900, it is to their interest, in filing
separate income tax returns for the
year 1881 to divide the personal ex-
emption of $500 between them, as
shown by the following Illustration, in
which the husband claims $4,000 and
the wife $500:
Net income. husband. d................ $1,000
Personal exemption. n.................. 5000
Taxable at Ia per cent ...... $4,000
Net income. wife fe............ $4,500
Personal exemption n.......,. 500
Taxable at Ia per cent ............ $4,000
Total for husband and wife. 5 100
The normal tax rate being l p per
cent on the first $4,000 Of net income
in excess of the personal exemption
and other credits, 3 per cent on the
next $4,000 and per cent on the bal
ance, any other division of the per-
sonal exemption would have subjected
part of the husbands or wife's income
W IIlc pei CeIlI ldtc 1iC COllputo-
tions do not include the rs per cent
credit on earned incomes.
Aside from dividing the personal ex-
emption, husband and wife often may
further decrease the amount of their
total taxes by filing separate returns
and reporting their separate incomes
therein providing their Joint income is
sufficiently large to be subject to the
surtax, which applies to net incomes
in excess of $4,000.
To avoid error, taxpayers should note
carefully the provision OF the revenue
act which relates to the personal ex-
emption of persons married during the
taxable year. The act provides that
If the marital status Of a taxpayer
changes dL.ing the year his personal
exemption shall be determined by ap-
portionment in accordance with the
number of months he was single and
married The fractional part of
month is disregarded, unless it amounts
to more than half month, in which
case it is considered a month.
For example, a couple married on
July 90 1881, may file joint return
and CLAIM: a personal exemption of
S3,208.33, which is 7-l2 of $500 for
the husband while single plus 7-12
of 500 for the wife while single plus
5-12 of $500 for the period during
which they were married. If separate
returns are made. each may claim a
personal exemption of $1,604.17, which
is TIP of $1,000, plus p of 5-12 of
$500.
The provision relates also to the head
of family. A taxpayer, for example,
who on October IA ceased to be the
head of family-the support in one
household of one or more relatives hav-
ing been discontinued-is entitled to an
exemption of $4,000, which is 9-l2 of
$500, plus 3-12 Of $500.
The taxpayers status on the last day
of the taxable year determines his
status with respect to the S40O credit
for a dependent. If his support of
such dependent ceased during the year,
he is not entitled to this credit,

A ANNOUNCEMENT that the
n Democrats are planning an
elaborate ceremony for the inaugu-
ration of Paul V. McNutt has been
greeted with much interest by poll
ticians of the state.
1t has been many, many years
since a Governor was inaugurated
with anything resembling a cere-
mony.
The last three or four chief ex-
ecutives took the oath of office I'M
der the dome of the statehouse
standing on a hurriedly constructed
platform.
In fact, it has been rumored
here and there, that they usually
carried their coats and hats along
to the ceremony so that they would
not have to cause delay for the
bailiff who brought the warrant
But that is unkind.
McNutt, however, will assume his
duties following what is planned as
an impressive ceremony.
To make sure that he gets off to
a good start, representatives of the
three predominating sects of the ma
ton have been asked by the ar
rangements committee to intercede
and a band and trumpeters, to-
gether with massed flags, will give
the affair Jan. 9 an impressive air
of pageantry.
THE Inauguration is planned as
4 means of giving the tri-
umphant Democrats a chance to
blow off little steam after six
teen years of continuous defeats,
the chronicling of which became
boring and tireSome.
Observers are recalling the
elaborate plans made eight years
ago, when Ed jackson was to be
sworn in.
1t is remembered that as a re-
ward for the excellent services of
Willis Dye of Kokomo, in raising
funds for the campaign he was
named as chairman of the in
augural committee.
For some reason or other, Dive
took Jackson seriously and thought
that a Governors Inauguration was
very important affair.
So, as the first step in the pro-
gram, he had made enormous solid
gold badges to be issued to Repub-
lican dignitaries of the state. The
occasion is aforementioned bv
newspapermen, because Dye made
the gracious error of ranking them
as dignitaries and provided gold
badges for the reporters.
Each medal bore the engraved
name and address of the recipient
and was beautiful example of the
badge and ribbon makers art.
DUT the state committee discov-
- cred that it was without any
appreciation of the beautiful when
it received a bill for several thou
SAND dollars for the medals on the
eve of the inaugural.
