SALISBURY, Md, Jan. 81
Easy come-eaSy go.
Last week Vance Butler, filling
station operator, made himself a
fortune by the simple expedient
of having two colored youths un-
earth 100000 in an iron pot
while removing an old vault on
land he had purchased for 5000.
The money was in gold, silver
and paper. Today it is gone,
wiped out as easily as created
just a few spoken words.
Vance admitted l-.st night he
had a bright idea, but did not
realize the reams of publicity
his find would receive. Least Of
all did he realize that he would
have to pay a big income tax on
the money.
So he drew a deep breath and
dissipated his fortune, admitting
the whole thing hoax.

name.
Doll Zirkle, manager of the
George Mason Hotel, and Mrs.
Zirkle have adopted the baby,
after nearly a year of dispute
over the child's guardianship.
The baby girl, to be called Mary
Lou, is established in their suite
at the George Mason and
equipped with an entire new
wardrobe and a whole room full
of toys and is embarking on a
career in which, the Zirkles hope,
the tragedy of her first three
years will be forgotten.
Parents Found
Last summer the children's
court in Alexandria took Mary
Lou away from her foster-parents,
itinerant peddlers, and gave her
to Mrs. Zirkle to keep until her
natural parents could be found.
The foster parents objected
and took the matter to court.
Eventually the child's own mother
came to claim her and . the
Zirkles reluctantly turned her
over to them. They planned to
fill the, empty place in their
household with another adopted
child.

CAS- TAX BILL UP
At ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-With
both houses of the State legisla-
ture resuming sessions today, the
most important matter on the
days calendar is the gas tax al,
location bill, introduced in the
house last night by Delegate H,
Street Baldwin CD, of Baltimore
county.
This bill would increase from
20 to 80 per cent Baltimore's
share of the 4-cent gasoline tax,
It would also place the handling
of the shares the various counties
are to get in the hands of their
boards of commissioners.
Governor Ritchie is seeking to
limit Baltimore's share to 20 per
cent, and also to let the State
roads commission handle the
county funds for county roads
use.
State officials believe the Accent
gasoline tax will bring in $8,O00,,
900 in 1884. The proposed bill
would leave intact the ~ cent
funds for building lateral roads.
Baltimore would get $2,4OO,OOO-
the equivalent of 20 cents on its
tax rate-and the counties would
get 1,400 900 for local roads in
addition to the $2,10O,000 to be
spent by the State roads com
mission for lateral roads in the
counties.

Government is
CRITICISED FOR
BANK ACTIVITIES
Federal Land AppraiSaIS
Called 'ChiSeIing' by
Insurance Man.

There is a marked tendency for
federal land banks to beat first
mortgages held by banks and insur-
ance companies, irrespective of the
effect on depositors and policyhold-
ers, william F. Collins, inspector for
the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance Company, told members of
the indianapolis Home Builders AS
ISOLATION at a meeting last night in
the Washington.
Asserting that he had appealed to
Senator Frederick Van NuyS to in
vestigate the condition, Mr.. Collins
criticised the government Off "ap-
parently overlooking the fact that
our first duty is not to the borrower,
but to the policyholder of the in
Surance company and to the depos-
itor in the bank"
There is a great deal of talk con-
corning chiSelers," he continued,
''but it is becoming apparent that
the government is the worst chiseler
of them all through the land bank
appraisers. The land banks uni
formly grant loans 20 per cent I'M
der the amount of the mortgage"
Mr.. Collins further explained that
if his company we're to grant a 20
per cent reduction uniformly in the
principal of the margtgage it holds
at would be throwing between
$8,500000 and 100000 into Salt
Creek"
