central areas earlier this week was
one of the worst disasters in the
history of India, casualty lists and
reports of damage indicated.
The dead already were estimat-

The authorities received an es-
innate of 1000 dead in the town
of Bettiah and more than 800
killed at Darbhanga, in the foot

where the quake did most DAM

of more than a million dollars,
while for 1929. the peak year Of

S64,969 were taxable, against l.
455,OO1 Tor 1881.
The total 1882 net income
shown by the personal income tax
returns amounted to $11,185, 499,-
300 on which a tax of 1924, 744,-

TO YIELD GOLD
Estimate $500, 100000 in
Hoarded Money, U. S.
Certificates, Still Held
WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. NUPl

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. (UP)
The federal government last
night extended indefinitely the
time during which citizens may
turn in an estimated $500,O00,0O0
in gold money without risk of be-
ing penali2ed for boarding.
Midnight last night had been
set by the treasury as the time af-
ter which gold money and certifi-
Gates would be outlawed.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau. authorized the treasury,
assay offices and the Federal Re-
serve banks, ito continue until
further notice to receive gold coin
and gold certificates and to pay
therefor in other currency at their
face value"
These agencies are also author
lied to receive gold bullion and to
pay for it at the statutory rate of
$20G7 per ounce
+ Enquiries have been received
by the treasury department from
business men who desire to know
whether they man continue to &C
cept gold coins and certificates in
payment or merchandise and serv-
ices" Morgenthau said. "The in
structions which were sent out
will provide a way by which they
may dispose of receipts of gold
coins and gold certificates and re-
-ceive payment for them"
When gold was first called in
from circulation, a citizen was al
lowed to hold up to 500. Holding
more than that produced a theo-
retical liability to prosecution for
boarding. Recently the 500 eX-
emption was removed. and posses
sion Of any gold coin or certifi-
Gates now is in theory a violation
Of the law. The Inference from
last nights order, however, is that
no attempt will be made to prose-
cute persons who give up their
gold in the near future.

The Presidents gold bill was
redrafted yesterday to provide
secrecy in operation Of the pro-
posed $2,O0O.O0O,000 dollar sta
balization fund.
Attorney General Cummings re-
ported to the senate banking and
currency committee, holding eX-

he was convinced it was consti-

The fight in the house over
which of two committees has juris-
diction over the measure ap-
preached the stage of farce, with
the bill referred to the coinage
committee and then reported out
by the banking committee under
another name.

other witnesses testified in the af-

some sections of the measure,
which provides for treasury own

The original bill, drawn at the
treasury, gave the president au-

sterilization fund and called for
a report on its operations in the
annual report of the secretary Of

This report would be made pub

only the presidential audit and
provides that the decisions of the
