TAX FRAUD IS LAID
TO YACHT OWNERS
CadwaIaders' Incorporation
of 100000 Vessel Is
AssaiIed by u. S.
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The Government made a formal
charge of tax fraud yesterday against
. couple recently accused by Treas
ury official Of Incorporating their
$4,000, 900 yacht, the Savarona, in an
effort to reduce tax payments.
John P. Wenchel, chief counsel OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, made
the formal charge against Emily r.
Cadwalader and her husband, Richard
M. Cadwalader, jr., of Fort WASH
lngton, Pa.
The Cadwaladers had contested be-
fore the Board of Tax Appeals a
e157.579 deficiency assessment levied
by the bureau on their 1882 income.
They contended the bureau had given
mo reason or grounds" for including
. so per cent penalty in the assess
ment.
Brief Is Submitted.
Replying to their request that the
board redetermine their tax liability,
Wenchel submitted brief contending
the couple filed false and fraudu-
lent" joint income tax return for 1882.
The brief said part of the deficiency
asserted for said year is attributable
to fraud, all with intent to evade tax"
In the recent congressional tax in
vestigation, Arthur H. Kent, assistant
Treasury general counsel, declared the
couple had incorporated their yacht
In an effort to reduce tax payments.
Kent said the 410-foot vessel, re-
putedly the largest private yacht in
the world, had been built in Germany
in 1881, but never brought into Amer
lean waters. When American owned
yachts built in foreign countries are
brought here, Kent said, a 80 per cent
duty must be paid.
Stock Basis of Claim.
A transaction involving stock Of
the Savarona Ship Corp, which holds
the yacht, was the basis for the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureaus deficiency claim
against the Cadwaladers. The bureau
contended the couple transferred 400
shares of the stock to their attorney,
Thomas Campbell, for the purpose Of
establishing loss.
Wenchels brief said Mrs. Cadwal-
Ader alone, or in connivance" with
her husband or Campbell. engaged in
fraudulent acts and deceptive gestures
to clothe the transaction with the ap-
pearance of bona flde sale, whereas
in truth no bona fide sale was con-
surnmated."
1t added that the Cadwaladers. both
with intant to evade tax, fraudulently
overstated" the AMOUNT of their net
capital losses in 1882.

AS a matter of fact, the whole
task of handling Jimmy has been
placed in the hands of Mrs.
Brady. While Brady, pere; Harry
Hall and Howard Rowtan fought
the World War all over again,
Mrs. Brady took Jimmy for a long
walk.
She talked to him gently Of the
dangers to which he had exposed
himself. She talked of kidnapers

parently did not realize just what
he had done.
The reunited family spent day
at the beach cottage OF Howard
Rowtan, of Palatka, at Crescent
Beach, near st. Augustine. After
dinner they returned to Palatka,
where the Brady family registered
at the James Hotel.
During the night Mrs. Brady
became i'll. At first it was
thought that her ailment was
nothing more than passing at
tack of indigestion. First-aid
methods brought temporary re-
lief, but this morning her condi-
ton was such that Mr.. Brady and
Harry Hall, a close friend of the
family, deemed it advisable to
rush home at once.
What route the Brady's took,
and whether they returned by
train or by motor was not known
this morning. Attaches of the
Hotel James said that Mrs. Brady
was i'll, and that the family had
checked out and started north.
A welcome awaited Jimmy
Brady at Tinker Field. The ball
players were all prepared to pose
for photographs with him, and
there was a gliStening new ball
all autographed for him. But that
little item can wait now.
The immediate requirement Is
the nursing of distracted mother
back to health.
Jimmy's father says:
Jimmy realizes that he has
transformed himself over night
into an unusual character. He
has been the guest Of the City
Of Palatka, photographed, inter
viewed and secuted by newspaper
men. 1 hope that he is not inn
pressed with q sense Of his own
Importance. If this goes to his
head, we will have o hard time
getting him back to normal.
What would you do If the prob
lem were yours?
FATHER WORRIED
He looked haggard and careworn
and there was bewilderment in his
tone. He continued:
Jimmy never did anything
like this before in his life. Why
he would telephone his mother
he would be Is minutes late for
dinner. Then, without the
slightest warning, he left home.
This is a matter that can not be
handled in the wood shed and

cuSSed the matter with Jimmy.
He and 1 are close friends. We
go to boxing matches, football
and baseball games. 1 think
he's too fine to spoil"
Mrs. Brady, whose delightful
smile masked her worries over
Jimmy's sudden departure,
laughed when the Times reporter
asked if she had spanked Jimmy.
Not l." she said almost gaily.
Mrs. Brady may be described as
good looking, but she is more
than that. She has a personality
that wins friends in moment.
She added:

poured himself suitable prelude to
his vacation.
Clyde Barrett was absent from
Hollywood for the next six months.
He returned home on a chill winter
day in the midst of a cloudburst,
which has nothing to do with this
story. Arrived at his apartment, he
was busy unpacking and getting
settled when there came knock on
his door. He opened it. There stood
young couple whom he recognized,
after brief but violent struggle with
his memory. as the blond girl singer
and the handsome fiddler.
"Mr. Barrett?" queried the young
man eagerly.

"Oh" Clyde said; and then: How
do you do? Won't you come in?''
"Oh. no." said the girl, with quick,
lovely smile. 1--WE don't want to
bother you. It's just that - we'll, the
hotel manager told US you were
getting home today - he's told us
all about you - and we were so
anxious to see you and thank you -

young husband. He turned to Clyde.

Yes. The picture was responsible
for everything. You see, my wife and

months without meeting each other.
Seems incredible now. because we
both love music and - we'll, that's
the way it was. Then few weeks ago
we both happened to 60 to the opening
of Midnight Melody Not together,
you understand. This was before we'd
met. But as it turned out, there was
one scene in the picture that sort of
impressed us both. 1t was where the
young orchestra leader is practising
on his violin and the girl is playing
piano and singing in the room Just
above his and at first it S all one grand
discord. Just a terrible lot of noise.
Then he begins to play the song that
she's singing and finally it turns into
musical love scene and they get to-
gether, you know, and -"
Eyes, l know. l wrote it," Clyde
said.
The two nodded and beamed at
him and the girl said: well, don't
you see how wonderful it is? Because
that's exactly what happened to US!
The very next day, after we'd seen
your picture. while was practising
in my room, / heard Maurice start to
play the song was singing. And that's
how we came to meet, and that's
why we want to thank you for our ~
happiness.
The author of their happiness
blinked, swallowed and said bit
hoarsely: 1T is rather wonderful,
isn't it?"

that you should be living right here
