 1 The raSio report from the bitter
 cold of the stratosphere region
 said the temperature inside the sealed gondola was 46 degrees centigrade and added that theAcraft was being carried along eastward at a rate of about 55 miles an hour. With his balloon high up in the stratosphere, the commander and his aide, Major Chester Fordney engaged in radio conversation with Prof. Louis Alverez of the University of Chicago regarding the cosmic ray experiment.
 It was mans first radio conver- sation- from the stratosphere. The balloonists were no longer able to determine their position by observing the earth> due to the great height. Because of the tremendous wind that was raging in the upper re- gions, it was believed the balloon would be carried over the vicinity of Washington, D. c. weather re- ports for North Carolina were sent to the observers.
 Every detail of the flight was progressing successfully, After ob- taining technical reports as the results of the first observations, Alvarez said the experiments were proceeding splendidly and that much valuable data had been ob- tained already.
 While it was possible that the
 balloon might rise slightly higher, Settle believed it had reached the greatest altitude possible under ob- taining conditions.
 Commander Settle and Major Fordney in a radio conversation
 with Col Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News. and one of the sponsors of the flight, re- ported that the balloon was at an altitude of more than 53.000 feet.
 He said they expected to reach their actual ceiling" within half an hour. 2

PROTEST IMPORTING

before it a complaint of the Seamens

is importing 160 Chinese to New York
to become a crew for the steamship
President johnson, now out OF comis-

President Lincoln, now en- route from
San Francisco for New York, under the
guise of passengers.
The departments solicitor has been
asked to rule on what action can be
taken This. Furuseth said, is not the
first time a foreign crew has been
brought to the United States, but IS the
first time the matter has been taken
up officially.
These men cannot come as seamen
unless they have been signed" Furu-
seth said. "They cannot be signed un-
til captain is signed. The captain is
in the United States Therefore they
were sent as passengers in transit
through the United States. When they
reach New York their status will
change.
This IS palpable evasion of the
law. We took the matter to the De-
partment of Labor and asked ruling
Under the law, these people must
leave the country in the status they
entered it. If they are not passengers
in transit they are immigrants and
cannot enter. II not passengers they
cannot land
"The whole immigration system is at
stake. If these men are allowed to
change status en- route there would be
nothing to prevent importation of such
labor"

MILLS PREPARING
INCOME TAX RULING
Regulations to Determine
What Deductions Can Be
Made in Returns.
BY the Associated Press.


Regulations under which approxi-
mately 2,500,000 citizens will pay taxes
on March IS on their 1882 income are
being prepared by the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
The regulations will set forth just
what taxes paid by the taxpayer can be
deducted from gross income in making
out the returns and what taxes cannot
be deducted Until the regulations have
been approved by Secretary Mills, they
will not be made public.
Heretofore, the bureau has ruled that
a taxpayer can deduct only the taxes
collected from him by the State or
Government. Under this ruling. if con-
tinued in force, most of the excise taxes
levied under the billion dollar tax bill
cannot be deducted. Those taxes are
levied on the manufacturer In many
States the State gasoline tax can be
deducted from gross income for income
tax purposes, because it is levied upon
the consumer, but in those States where
manufacturer, the consumer cannot
deduct them.
The billion-dolla tax bill increases
income taxes from 1l2 per cent, per
cent and per cent to percent on the
first $4,000 of net income and per
cent on all income above that amount
The surtax starts at $4,000 of net in
come, whereas under the former law it
started at $4,000
Under the new law the exemptions
are lowered to $1,000 for single per-
son and $4,000 for a married person.
This lowering of the deductions is ex-
pected to add approximately 1,0OO, 900
persons to the income tax rolls.
In 1881 approximately 1,455 ,007 per-
sons paid income tax and Secretary
Mills recently said he expected the re-
turn for 1882 would increase this num-
ber to about 2,500,000

HELD VITAL LINKS
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM
Junior Highs and Colleges Bridge
Gaps Between Age Groups, West
ern Association Told.

Junior high schools and colleges we're
seen as bridging marked gaps between
different age units, solving disciplinary
problems and keeping students in school
when otherwise they would have stopped
their studies, by speakers last night at a
meeting of the Home and School Asso-
citation of Western High School in the
school library.
DR.. Stephen E. Kramer. assistant su-
perintendent of schools in the District
discussed "The Place of the Junior
High School" He said it keeps thou
sands of children in school two years
longer than would be the case if the
junior high school did not exist. Many
pupils in the Junior High School. he
said, ordinarily would stop school at
the end of the elementary grades.
Discipline is an easier matter, by rea-
son of the Junior high schools, DR.. Kra-
mer said, as they group together pupils
of the same age and give them courses
fitted to their ages, which the elemen-
tary schools could not do.
Dean Henry Grafton Doyle of the
Junior College of George Washington
University stressed similar points in ex-
planning the function of the Junior COL
lege.
Approximately 200 persons attended
the meeting.

DEMAND FOR RELIEF.
SEEN IN ELECTION
Col. H. W. Anderson Talks at
Washington and Lee U.
Founders Day Rites

LEXINGTON. Va. January 19-As-
serting that far reaching and funda-
mental readjustments are necessary in
the economic and social orders, Col
Henry w. Anderson today termed the
recent national election a clear indica-
ton and a warming to those in charge
OF Government that the people were
determined to have effective relief from
existing injustices and hardShipS.
If only palliative measures are pro-
posed, if the policy is adopted of treat
ing the symptoms and not the disease
the result may be disastrous" he said
ON the other hand. the necessary ad-
justments can be made without violence
under definite and courageous leader
ship, If the people are told the truth
and opportunity is afforded for the free
expression OF the popular will
Founders Day Orator.
Col Anderson, Virginia Republican
leader and member of the WickerSham
Commission, spoke as Founders day
orator at Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, selecting as his subject Facing the
Future"
The election of Roosevelt. he said,
SiiOulu Lldkt pOSSlD!e an early ana
equitable adjustment of war debts Ad-
vocating cancellation of pre-armistice
debts and collection at low interest and
over long period of post-armistice in
ternational loans. Mr.. Anderson said
Mr.. Roosevelt could draw the support of
the South and West to such a program.
Had it been attempted by the Repub-
licans the program would, however un-
justly, have been regarded as favorable
to banking interests, he added.
Expression for Repeal
The election is generally accepted as
a definite expression IN favor of repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment" he said.
Il do not so regard it. There is un-
doubtedly strong sentiment in favor
Of some change in the existing policy
with respect to the liquor problem, but
this was in no sense a controlling fac
tor in the election"
Mr.. Anderson said he felt it would
be most unfortunate to swing. in the
present unsettled state of public opin-
ion from the extreme of prohibition to
the extreme of repeal, asserting that
sound policy lay between the extremes.

lous This bill offers no protec-
ton and there is no possibility of any
real enforcement against admission to
dry States
will you protect the children and
the wOmen-two-thirds of your con-
stituents-or will you yield to the wet
clamors of brewers and self-interested
men, who would violate the Constitu-
ton on behalf of this matchmaking
drug? *You have no excuse if you
do this evil thing, as you know what
alcohol does to children and others.
