evening, singing her way into the
hearts of her listeners. .Favors,

were carried out in the ghost

The guests were observed wrap

Tom Devine held force at his
place of business and pleasure, the
Indiana Roof ballroom, which took
on the scenic effect of spot in New
Orleans, and the music of Joe Cap
pos Egyptian Serenaders gave the
whole a cosmopolitan dash.
There were jail-birdS dancing
with dainty ir-ribboned misses,
cops holding hands with Mae
Vests" and all sorts of eerie COM
binations which form the basis for
the madcap sweep of Halloween.
The real liant" of the ballroom,
Slim Green, gave a delicate inter-
pretative dance behind a pair of
dark glasses, set off with two huge
false ears and covered with very
silly-looking cap. AS usual, Slim
received a great hand, but nobody
asked him where he got that mar

those dark glasses.
There was certainly nothing dead
about the frivolity at the Showboat,

all they could do to keep their tempo

100000 SIGN
INDIVIDUAL
RETURNS
Increase in Revenue Based on
Gains Since 1882; Firms
Have 30 Billion Income
By International News Service

BY International News Service
More than three million individ-
ual taxpayers had paraded up to
Uncle Sans counter today and
paid close to 5000, 100000 for the
upkeep of the Federal Govern
ment.
Midnight was the deadline for
filing returns. These represented
1888 calendar year incomes which
were believed to have been slightly
In excess of those of 1882, which
amounted to a net of $11, lbs, ,000,-
600. The 1882 income Of individ-
uals was the lowest for many
years and reflected the depth Of
the depression.
Average $4,000 Yearly
It was anticipated that the av-
erage tax for those filing returns
was approximately 3 per cent, the
average net income 5000 and the
tax liability S87.
About 100000 corporations filed
returns with less than 10000 tax
able, according to early indica-
tions. Corporations had gross in
comes of close to $4,000 900 900
and taxable income, after taking
off deductions, of ISIS than $2,OO0,-
100000.
Internal Revenue officials have
issued instructions to field agents
that every effort should be made
to collect all available taxes.
The Treasury is making a
campaign against not only those
who have legitimate incomes but
bootleggerS and others whose
sources of revenue during 1888
were illegitimate, to obtain
revenue due the Government.
Close to Estimates
Judging from last years collec-
ton of $180,000,00O it was anti
cipated by some private experts
that the 1884 March income tax
receipts would not exceed $685.
100000.
Secretary Morgenthau, however,
disclosed that the estimate for
the month was $250,0OO, 900.
This was based principally on
the belief that individual returns
for the year 1888 would be much
higher than for 1882.
Officials said that so far the
receipts of income taxes have
been remarkably close to the
estimates. For the first 13 days
Of the month receipts amounted
to $39,711,000, against $13,641 900
a year ago. Last year owing to
the banking holiday taxpayers
were given until March 81 to file
their returns so that the bulk
Of the collection was not in until
the middle of April.

D. AN DENIES
DOG TORTURE

Denial that dogs used expert
mentally in the George Washing
ton University Medical School are
cruelty treated was voiced today
by DR.. E. B. Mckinley, dean of
the school.
This charge was made recently
by the National Antivivisection
Society.
Admitting that the dogs are
used, DR.. Mckinley denied that
they are mistreated, but declared
they are treated as though they
were children.
Assailing the society for it's atti-
tude, DR.. Mckinley said:
'This society retards the ad-
vancement of the study of medi-
cine.
"Our staff doctors are now
working on the study of heart
disease, and we are able to OBJ
serve the effects and work to-
ward cure through the use of
dogs. But there is no cruelty
practiced."

Q.N.SO.-Differences between the

ier-Journal.
The House dispatched the tele-

thrust filed suit for $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO, March 49,
Among Americas great soldiers
is Mai. Gen. Hunter Liggett,
U. S. A., retired.
He has retired from the active
defense of his country to large
and comfortable home on one Of
San Francisco's seven hills over
looking the Golden Gate.
But he has not retired from a
keen and penetrating interest In
the affairs of his nation and a
kindly, human interest in the vel
fare and security of his fellow
citizens.
Finds New World Amazing
Tall, straight and powerful, de-
spite his IT years, the general
looks upon a world which amazes
him and expresses his opinions in
a swapping voice that has COM
manded Americas men at arms
from Alaska to The Tropics-and
from Paris to the Rhine.
G neral Liggett believes
That Americas armies should
stay out of foreign lands.
That another war will surely
come.
That civilization will hang in
the balance.
That America should be pre-
pared.
That the price of unprepared-
ness will be national suicide.
More "Scraps of Paper"
That treaties and rules of war
fare are all scraps of paper"
That the next war will be
fought in the air and with
poisonous gas.
That it will be a war Of "ma-
Chimes and science"
That noncombatants will be
slaughtered ruthlessly.
That the only way to stop wal
is for science to make it certain
death for all participants.
That war is horrible, useless,
unthinkable, but coming"
That the people of a country
never want war.
War Laid To Politicians
That politicians and others in
terested in gain' plunge nations
into conflict.
That the American soldier is
the equal of any on earth.
That America saved her allies
from certain World War defeat.
That Americas unpreparednesS
in that and other wars was
stupid and awful"
That President Roosevelt is on
the right track" with national
defense.
Caustic, humorous, frank,
stern and kindly by turns. the
general hates sham and ny
pocrisy, "swivel chair" soldering
and speeches, if he has to give
them.

BANKERS CODE
HELD UNFAIR
To MAJORITY
Investment Rules Drawn BY
"Misrepresented" 0rganiza-
tion, Mccain Charges
By International News Service

BY International News service
Proposals of investment bankers
that the code committee of 81 ad-
minister the pact as well as sit in
judgment over bankers registered
under the code, were under the
scrutiny of NRA- officials today,
following the reading of the sup
Elementary code as evolved by
Newton D. Baker and Joseph c.
Hostetler, counsel for the Invest
ment Bankers Association.
The proposal was questioned by
Arthur D. Whiteside, deputy ad.
ministrator, head of the credit rat
ing house of Dun & BradStreet.
Mr.. Whiteside, while not objecting
specifically to the provision,
pointed out that none of the other
$50 codes contained such provis-
ion, and that it's inclusion in the
investment bankers pact might
provide a precedent for the hum
dreds of other codes that are COM
ing up for revisions.
Clause Opposed
The clause which would give
this body jurisdiction over the
trade is contained in article 10,
pertaining to the registration Of
investment bankers. This section
reads:
each investment banker who
registers under this article
thereby agrees with every other
investment banker who registers
under this article to comply
with all decisions and interpre-
tative rulings of the investment
bankers code committee under
any provisions of this article,
and to comply with the rules"
Mr.. Hostetler pointed out the
proposed supplement gave the
final jurisdiction to the admins
traitor of the NRA, but his argu.
ment so far has not met with the
approval of Mr.. Whiteside.
For failure to comply with the
code, it is proposed that the COM
mittee:
Prescribe penalties not in ex-
cess of $500 for each violation
or for any neglect or refusal
to comply with orders, direc-
tiOns or decisions of the invest
ment bankers code committee"
Code Attacked
Gene McCann, New York in.
vestment banker. attacked the
proposed supplemental code as
being prepared and sponsored by
the I. B. A., consisting of only
1872 of 5000 investment bankers
in the United States.
He charged the code was writ
ten in secrecy, which enabled the
I. B. A. to secure the Presidents
approval before the claim of the
I. B. A. that they did 80 per cent
of the security business in 1882,
could be successfully refuted. He
added:
81 contend that this was q
deliberate fraud upon the Presi-
dent of the United States and
ask that the chairman of this
meeting report all the facts and
the responsible parties to the
department and that includes
the responsible officials and EN-.
ployeS of the NRA."
