MELLON TAX
By international News Service

BY International News Service
In answer to the action of An
drew w. Mellon, former Secretary
of the Treasury and Ambassador
to Great Britain, asking relief
from an income tax deficiency as
sessment of nearly two million
dollars and a refund of $4,000,
the Treasury Department today
filed petition for collection with
the U. S. Board of Tax Appeals.
Sometime ago Mr.. Mellon was
assessed additional income taxes
for 1881, following the collapse of
a presentation to the Federal
Grand Jury in Pittsburgh wherein
an effort was made to indict him
for tax evasion.
Mr.. Mellon filed a suit in the
U. S. Board of Tax Appeals to OBJ
tain relief from the additional as
SeSSment. His petition asserted
that there had been an overpay-
ment of $4,000 in taxes for 1881.
At that time Mr.. Mellon was Sec
retary Of the Treasury.
Following filing of the Govern
ment's answer Mr.. Mellon will
have the opportunity to file an
other statement and then the case
will come up before the tax board
for hearing.

rapidly as possible.
No Upheaval
Kennedy said there would be

Kennedy, at his press confer.

WIDOW IS SLAIN
IN BEDROOM

LAKEHURST, N. j., Sept. IS
G.N.SO.-Closely paralleling the
battling murder of a noted New
England educator this morning,
the body of Mrs. Sarah Cant,
66, a widow, was found in the
bedroom of her home today.
She had been shot to death
with shotgun.
The fatal charge had been
fired through the screen of an
open bedroom window on the
second floor of the house. Police
said Mrs. Cant apparently had
raised herself on the bed in
response to a call from the
slayer who then opened fire.
The body was found by her
son, Arthur. He said he returned
home shortly after midnight,
called at his mothers door which
was locked and, receiving no an
swer, kicked in a panel of the
door and found the body.
Another son, Elwwod, who lives
with his wife in a nearby house,
said he returned home about II
o'clock last night and heard no
shot fired during the night.
Motive for the crime was a
mystery.

BEES INCREASE SEED
SET IN WHITE CLOVER

White clover depends ON insects
Tor the cross pOllinatiOn necessary
for seed production. The important
part that honeybees play in this
IullnatiOn was shown in a recent
study by entOmolo"iSts of the United

in LOuisiant. where white clover
grows most luXuri4ntly.
Three plots of white clover at
each of three separate places were
enclOsed-One in each locality with
, wire clutHi having 61 meshes to the
inch, which kept out all insects;
one with 6-mesh screening. which
prevented the entrance of honey
bees and other insects of the same
size or larger; and one with chicken
; wire. which permitted free passage
to all insects, but protected the
clover against grazing animals.
In the two years of the investiga-
ti0n. al all three locations, only five
seeds. and those very small and
shriveled. were obtained from the
three 6O-mesh cage, G.599 seeds were
obtained from the G-mesh cages. and
SO 1865 seeds were obtained from the
unscreened cages. Apparently. also

are much more abundant ON clover

any other insect

duces more white-clOver seed than
