DESTRUCTION TOO GREAT
HUGE GUN GOES UNFIRED
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 23.-The United
States Army, pretty much downcaSt,
isn't going to shoot its biggest gun
after all.
Oficial announcement was made
last night that out of respect for
crockery and windows in the neigh
borhood Of Fort Tilden, Rockaway
Beach, the 16-inch gun at Fort Tilden
would continue on an ornamental
basis.
The gun, one Of the largest in the
world, was to have been test fired
today-the first time since 1920-to
try out new fire-control device.
While the Army was pretty glum
about it, it would only intimate that
its shooting was stopped because resi-
dents probably protested to their
Congressman to save the family china.

L
N YEW YORK-The American in
come taxpayer, groaning un-
VI der the prospect of new Gov
l. ernment demands on his pock-
etbook, may pause to shed a tear for
his English cousin, who has been pay
ing a much heavier tax for longer
period.
Whereas the first income tax was
levied in the United States in 1918,
as far back as 1884 in England w. S.
Gilbert had his king come on the
stage in the operetta, Princess Ida,"
and sing:
II know everybodys income and what
everybody earns;
And I carefully compare it with the
income tax returns.
And then go on to complain:
But to beneft humanity however
Yet everybody says I'm such a dis
agreeable man!
And l can't think why!"
Englishmen Pay More.
Similar complaints may be heard
some day in American musical COM
edies, although the English still seem
to have greater cause for objection.
Not only is the per capita tax bur-
den greater in England ($9911 in
1880 than in the United States
(S7437, but the British government,
with its years of experience, seems to
collect its revenues with a firmer
hand,
Nearly twice as many field men are
employed for this purpose in England
as in America. In 1884 the report to
the Joint Congressional Committee on
Internal Revenue Taxation noted that
there were 22,589 members in the per-
sonnel of the British revenue service,
while the United States was employ
ing 11,524.
Longer Claims Period.
The British income tax collector is
also the posseSSor of wider powers
than the American, and whereas
American taxpayers are allowed a
three-year period within which claims
for refunds may be made, and an
other two years may be spent by them
Al VIC COOA IIlC oIlI-
isher must file his appeal within 2l
days.
While an English married man with
three children, deriving an income of
f50,000 or $250,000 from investment,
may have to pay $133, ,620 in income
and Surtaxes, an American in the
same situation today would have as
his limit an income tax of S9,840 and
surtax of $105, ,5O2, or a total tax of
$115,342.
Incomes of 800 Hit.
In both estate and income taxes the
British tax gatherer'S fist hits lower
in the body economic than that of his
American confrere. A married Hriton
starts handing part of his earnings
over to the government when his sal
ary reaches S1,500 a year.
A married American waits until he
is raised to $2,500 before he starts
making these Federal contributions.
Americans may die without thinking
of the tax collector unless their eS-
tates are going to net over $4,000.
When an Englishman dies, the gov
ernment lays a levying hand on his
earthly possessions if they represent
$500 or more.

ENM|TY FLARES UP
AT SCHULTZ TRIAL.
Career of Former Beer
Baron Will Be Barred at
Income Tax Trial.
BY the Associated Press.


MALONE, N. Y, July 23.-In an at
mosphere tense with enmity, Arthur
Flegenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz"
began another fight today to escape
Imprisonment for neglecting to give
the Federal Government its tax per-
centage of his illicit beer-purveying
profits.
Schultz, erstwhile Bronx beer-run-
ner and policy king, is in for some
unpleasant moments in the court of
Federal Judge Frederick H. Bryant,
Government prosecutors indicated.
They declared they would go further
than prove Schultz evaded $4,000
taxes on his income.
Activities to Be Shown.
They will portray him, they said, as
closely connected with much of the
guerilla warfare that featured New
York prohibition days beer enter
priSes.
The sharp hostility between prose-
cutors and defendant f1ared into the
open yesterday when Special Prosecu-
tor Martin Conboy, asked if he intend
ed to shake hands with Schultz in
the court, snapped:
Il certainly will not"
Conboy retired last Spring as United
States attorney in New York, but so
eagerly did he want to direct the bat
tie against Schultz that he requested
appointment as Special Assistant to
the Attorney General.
Feeling Expressed.
Schultz several times has expressed
a general lack of kind feelings toward
Conboy.
At his first trial in Syracuse, when
O jury came to no agreement, the
Government attorneys did not go
deeply into the defendants career.
Federal agents and New York City
policemen who listened to telephone
conversations on the elaborate private
network of wires which made the
Schultz beer syndicate such smooth
ly operating institution are expected
to enliven the current proceedings by
fuller testimony.

His voting record on farm measures is

industries. Don't blame us if we
talk too much! We are trying to
bride our tongues.
History proves, too. that men have
eXcelled in oratOry. Again We plead
for a stay of sentence. Men have
always addressed public gatherings,
but until recent years to speak out
in public meetings was a privilege
denied women. No wonder the
commentary art came to be ours!
But now that women have grown
up the time has come to put away
childish things. Maybe we still see
in a glass darkly and only know in
part what our ultimate place in the
worlds work shall be. But an excel
lent 1885 resolution would be to
practice addition - or repeat the
multiplication tables before we
spoke unnecessarily.
This also goes for verbose men!
