ence when he indicated that no
new taxes would be asked but that
changes in tax laws would be pro-
posed to congress. Controversial
taxes In the last tax law, including
the corporate surplus tax, are ex-
pected to remain until tested out.
The same Is true Of social security
act levies.
Any changes urged upon con.

legislation must originate-are ex-
pected primarily to be shifts In the

Started Under Hoover
Many of thees taxes originated
late in the Hoover administration
and were continued because Of gov
ernmental needs of revenue. They
include taxes on chewing gum,
matches, radios, monographs and
refrigerators. They brought n only
$14,ol5, 900 last year.
Few of the nuisance" levies have
been repealed. Outstanding elimin-
alton was of the bank check tax
which yielded $4o,000,000 but both

treasury a stupendous collection

Taxes on theater admissions

Police traced Gilmore to the Bal

and money orders he sent to his

night and questioned him 10 horus.
Gilmore denied any connection with
the murder.
NORTH body, bearing rlour bullet
wounds, six stab wounds and q frac-
tured skull, was found with the
hands tied in Fresh Kill Greek, off
Charleston, Staten Island. Police
said weights which had been tied
to Horitz' arms had slipped Oft.
On August II ship Waterman
reported to police he had heard q
man screaming for help on one Of
the boats anchored In the creek. A
police patrol boat found Gilmore on
the deck Of the "Georgiana," which
he had been trying to buy from
MoritY. Gilmore told them two
drunken sailors were responsible for
the cries but that they ha6 gone
ashore. Shortly afterwards Gilmore
dropped from sight.
Found Blood Stains
When Moritz' body was found,
police broke into the "Georgiana"
which had been locked since Oil
more left. They found blood stains
on the cushions and floor covering.
Further investigation revealed
that Gilmore and MoritS had quar-.
relied over the boat. Gilmore offered
$1,000 for the vessel; Moritz had
held out for $4,000.
Gilmore was questioned about the

personally must approve.
Gossips seized at once on the In
tention Of Mrs. Simpson TO 90
abroad as O possible indication that
her friendship with the king was
waning. It was believed this gossip
was inspired by persons who desire
to end the friendship.
The king and Mrs. Simpson re-
main the closest Of friends, and the
king continues to say 1t with flowers.
Loads Of gardenias, carnations and
shaggy chrysanthemums as big as
ones head are delivered ct Mrs.
Simpsons house daily.
King Has SeeE Her
Further, since her divorce the
king has taken every opportunity to
see MRS. Simpson II only for o few
minutes, sometimes OF Buckingham
palace, sometimes OF Cumberland
terrace, her home-but mostly ct
the homes Of mutual friends.
There Is no sign OFT ell that the
friendship Is likely to cool. Persons
who know the cares the king must
endure, and who are concerned for
his happiness, are understood to
approve most cordially Of the friend
ship.
These are members of his own cir
Gle. 1t has been persistently reported
that Queen Mary herself has enter
tanned Mrs. Simpson OF Marlborough
house, to get acquainted with her,
and has approved Of her. Most care
full investigation Of these reports by
the United Press believed definitely
to have established that they are
not true and that the queen has
not met Mrs. Simpson.
No Idea Of Marriage
Friends OF the king and Mrs.
Simpson alike insist that they have
no idea Of marriage; have never
even considered 1t. Particularly they
say that Mrs. Simpson, who Is
known for her tact and understand
ing, realizes clearly the constitu-
tional and dynastic obstacles to o
marriage between the king OF Great
Britain and emperor Of india and
O commoner who Is not even O
British subject, and that she Is too
good o friend Of the king to want
to subject him to embarrassment,
or to consent to do SO.
whether the opponents OF the
kings friendship, and those who say
"you can't do that" will cause O
king known for his hard-hearted-
ness to retort "Oh, can't II" and
merry MRS. Simpson Is something
else. It seems clear, however, that
there Is no idea Of marriage ct
present.
Obstacles Many
Obstacles to q marriage continued
to mount. Only yesterday, almost
unnoticed, Ruper lie 10 Bere, o con-
sentative, introduced in the house
of commons q bill which II enacted
into law would make any kind OF
marriage between MRS. Simpson and
the king almost impossible.
It would remove the present le-
gal compulsion on clergy OF the
Church Of England to remarry d.
vorced persons or to permit use OF
their churches for remarriage Of d.
virced persons. Now the church, as
an institution, is bound legally to
marry anybody who wants to marry,
though individual ciergymen are
| bouno only by their consciences
The bill would be tantamount to
refusing the cliurchs sanction to re-
marriage Of divorced persons and
hence would make Il almost i'm

fluctuate, In the event the salary OF
the defendant underwent any de-
creases.
Mrs. Siebert claims that since
1882, she never has received the
amount agreed upon, and that pay
ments stopped entirely In October,
1895. She claims the defendant
owes her a total Of $5,986.92 plus
interest.
The defense Of Mr.. Siebert was
that his salary has been reduced
considerably since the making OF
the agreement, and that there was
no material reason for the MAIN
tenance agreement, which he made
simply because he thought 1t was
a passing whim on the part OF his
wife.
