Mystery still shrouds the murder

who was shot and beaten to death
about 1 a. m. Thursday July l6,
in Battery Park Hotel, Asheville.
Sheriff Lawrence E. Brown, the
chief investigator is now holding
five people for questioning. None
of the five, however, are charged
with the murder. It is believed
that some, if not all Of the five can
furnish valuable information lead
ing to the capture of the real MUIR
derer.
Mark Wollner, internationally
known violinist, is being detained
as a possible suspect.
Wollner was taken into custody
after a haberdasher's clerk told Of
ficers he had heard the musician
say he had "a date" Wednesday
night with a girl he had Just met
at the hotel in which Miss eleven
ger was murdered.
The sheriff has obtained state

Taken In Taxes
Last Fiscal Year
All. Categories of Taxa
ton Show Increases,
But Biggest Gain Is In
Incomes.

: Washington.-A comparison o:
treasury records revealed that gov.
eminent revenue for the fiscal yea,
just closed were the largest for an,
year since 1921.
At thse same time, a breakdown
of receipts for the year SHOWED
the income tax trending back to.
ward its once dominant position a
the source of most Of the govern.
ment's income.
Total Federal revenues from al
taxation sources were $3,52O,O0O,.
900 for the fiscal year. Not sine,
1921, when they tosalled 1885,.
100000 have they been higher
For that 15-year period, moreover.
1875 was second highest, with re-
venue totaling $3,299,o00,Oo0
In 1929, income tax receipt.
provided 1914 per cent of the gov
ernmentis revenues. The next year
the ratio dropped TO 78.5, then to
z6.6 in 1882 it fell to ST. per
cent; in 1888 to 46 per cent and
d 1884 i reached 4 bottom Of
3O.6 per cezat.
Then II starfed upward once
The fiscal year 1885 saw il
rise to 1915 per cent, and that trend
was continued by the. figures for
the fiscal year just closed which
placed the percentage at 40.S.
Two reasons were assigned for
the depression years drop in that
percentage. The obvious one of
rapidly shrinking incomes, and a
second in the fact hat to make up
for this loss in revenues, numerous
excise taxes were imposed, together
with repeal and taxes on liquor.
AS compared with 1885, all cate
gories of taxation, income, liquo,
taxes and miscellaneous take.
showed increases, but the bigges,
gain was in income taxes. They
Jumped $322,O0O,O0 from ST.
105 ,0OO,OO0 to $1,427,000,0 900:
liquor taxes gained .$94,000,00
from $411,00O,oo0 to $5o5,ooO,-
900 and miscellaneous taxes rose
$259,O0S,Oo0 from $1,256,000,-
900 to $1,515,ooo,o00.
For the fact that 1886 produced
a 15-year record in government
receipts, several causes were giver
notably the fact that an increasing
national income has encountered
tax rates at levels seldom ap'
preached within that period ane
that more items and activities arr
subject to taxation at any time If
