Woburn Bremen Without Beds-Must Be Good Jumpers

Woburn, Mass, Feb. 8.-(UP).- Mayor William E. (Cage 'Em) Kane today ordered all beds removed from fire stations.
 If the flremen work on two- shift plan, they should stay awake while working" explained the pep pery chief executive whose brother, Michael, is fire chief.
 The "no-bed' order followed Kane's warning that the 20 regular and 20 call firemen will have to climb to the top of a 165-foot wa ter tower and leap into net If they want to hold their jobs.
 The two actions were Kane's an- swer to the filing of suits by l9 fre- men for $200 each in back pay for last December. The 1888 city budget provided for a reduction in fire de- partment salaries, but the firemen refused to accept the cut and funds ran out in November.
 Kane said that a $l-a-day soldier performing sentry duty would be shot if he fell asleep "but c fire- man getting $42 Ca week) goes on the job at night and tumbles into a nice warm bed between clean sheets bought by and laundered at the city's expense goes to

City's Lone Civil War Vet eran Host to High
 School Students
tBY JOHN BARR )

sT was proud of them!" was Wales Porter's enthusiastic a1- swer to my question, well, MT. Porter, what do you think of the high school students who visited you last week2"
 "Yes," continued Waterbury's last surviving veteran of the Civil War whose eventfuf life has spanned two-thirds of our nations life, "those boys and girls looked mighty good to me and I enjoyed their visit very much. Years ago I used to be one of the Civil War veterans to visit the schools on Decoration Day, but since I've become unable to do.so, I don't see the children as much as I'd like to, and will have to depend upon their coming here, to visit me. Perhaps when spring comes again and the grass and the trees and the flowers are in bloom, we can have a picnic in my yard, where I used to play when was a boy, and invite all the children"
 Historic Background
 The scene last week of the old Civil War soldier surrounded by a group of a dozen high school students was one not to be for gotten. The place added to the attraction. It was the home-like white house 1470 North Main street, near City Mill Lane, that MT. Porter's father had built back in 1859, when young Wales Porter was IS. The room where MT. Potter received his guests was his private sitting-room and lib- rary, with its low ceiling and quaint small window panes that look out into MT. Potter's garden and let in all the sunshine from their southern exposure.
 On this occasion MT. Porter sat, as usual, in his big armchair near a window his reading-ta

CLAYTON MORSE
 HANGS HIMSELF

New York, Feb. 8-(UP)-Clayton J. Morse, one-time wealthy finan- cial operator, hanged himself with a childs skipping rope today a few hours after Q federal court jury heard evidence that he had helped defraud investors of $250,000.
 Mrs. Morse found the body in their apartment. Morse left long note in which, his attorney said, he declared that assistant U. s. Attorney Leo Fenneliy was "persecuting" him.
 Morse was president of the Bank CTS Service corporation and the Coronado Gold Mine, Inc. He was indicted with Charles V. Bob, Alfred Mack, Joseph Dorn, Alfred schiff, H. Tracy Rogers and William Wiseman on charges involving high pressure sale of Coronado inning stock.
 Three Already Sentenced
 Bob, Wiseman and Rogers were convicted last month and given sen- tences of from two to seven years. Morse and some of the others re- ceived separate trials after Morse was sent to Bellevue for observation last month on his physicians peti- ton that he was suffering from homicidal and suicidal tendencies.
 Fennelly chraged in court at the time that Morse planned to murder him and then kill himself.
 Morse sat with bowed head yester- day as Fennelly made his opening statement to the jury. Two witnesses then told of the method used to sell the stock of the gold mining prop critics which had been purchased from former Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma.

work"
 "It's the only work know of where man is working sleeping" Kane said. People complain of men leaning on shovels receiving SIS a week. Evv many know about all the brave firemen getting A a week for sleeping?"
 We have overweight, pot-bellied firemen. We have others with high blood pressure. We have some who have general debility. Others cannot climb ladders and cannot run.
 'Now at the city garage there is tower l65 feet high, supporting . tank used to hold water for fire pur- poses. have ordered htat each and every one of the men shall climb to the top of the tower and jump into landing nets. Certainly if they ex- pect citizens of Woburn to jump into nets, they ought to be able to do 1t themselves"
 The first jump will be made by his brother, Michael, the fire chief, Kane said. The chief was not among the l9 suing firemen.
 All firemen also will be required to take equilibrium, nerve and re- l dex tests. Kane said.

is that he can serve better the in- terests of good government, the Merit System and matters pertain. ing thereto, as "a lawyer in private practice, rather than as trust officer"
 Law Practice
 MT. Kimball's primary purpose. however, was described as his incli- nation to devote his time to his law practice.
 Asked whether he meant the Cit izens Good Government Associa- tion in his reference to good gov ernment," MT. Kimball denied that this was his intention as he is not active in the local organization un- der the cited title. Rather, he said, his reference to "good government meant mot only the government in Waterbury, but in Connecticut" ana the country, as whole.
 Attorney Kimball has been active in the interests of peace and, has served as officer of organizations devoted to support of the elimina- ton of war as settlement of dif- ferences, economic and racial.
 During the 1887 campaign of the Merit System chapter to obtain a referendum for adoption of the merit system by this city he was a leader and has maintained this place, seeking during other sessions of the General Assembly support of the legislature for measures re- lating to adoption of the merit system by municipalities and per- tinent bills.
 Meeting Feb. 21
 The next meeting of the board of directors of the Waterbury Ma tional Bank will not be held until February 2l. Whether a successor to MT. Kimball will be appointed trust officer at that time officials of the bank were unprepared to state today.
 MT. Kimball maintains offices at l93 Grand street, resides at 175 Grove street, and is @ member of one of Waterbury's best-known families.

DIXIE DAVIS WAS GUILTY OF PERJURY
How Many Times He Was Unable to Say-Now
 Telling Truth

New York, Feb. 8-(UP)-The ef- fort of the James J. Hines defense to prove the Tammany district lead CT accepted money from policy racketeers only to further the char ities of his political club failed to. day when the court refused to per init questioning along that line.
 Attorney Lloyd Paul Strykel sought to show through rapid fire cross examination of J. Richarc (Dixie) Davis, former counsel to the Dutch Schultz mob, that "the req purpose" of sums paid to Hines dio nc. have anything to do with poli- tical protection for the numbers lottery.
 District Attorney Thomas E. Dew ey objected to the examination as totally irrelevant" and Judge Charles c. Mott sustained him Stryker protested that 1t may be- come an important matter"
 The attorney had asked Davi: whether he knew Hines club paic the rent of various persons and drew from the witness an admission that he had had a feeling of affection for the accused politician.
 Davis resisted most of Stryker's attacks. He denied that he hac sought out Schultz with the hope oi becoming his exclusive attorney ol that he had engineered a shake. down of one of his policy clients Joe Ison, in 1881.
 How many times have you com. mitted perjury?" Stryker snapped
 "A good many times, sir" Davi! said.
 "So the first time you ever tole the truth in your life after beinl sworn was at the first (Hines. trial?"
 That's definite" Davis answered adding that he committed perjur, only ito protect people" He admitted that the district at torney had never talked with hin

NEW MEMORIAL.
 WORK STARTED
Boston University's Exter- for Task May Be Fin.
 ished This Week

Boston, Mass, Feb. 8-Completion this week of the exterior stone work on Boston University's new Charles Hayden Memorial building gives motorist along Commonwealth ave- nue an idea of the type of gothic architecture which will be used throughout the future group of Boston University buildings. The building, which will house the col- lege of business administration, is the first unit of the University's centralized Charles River campus.
 Windows from the basement to the fourth floor have been glazed throughout the impressive building. Partition work in the lower floors has been completed and a temporary heating system has been installed through these floors to allow plas- tering and mechanical work to go ahead during the cold weather.
 In addition to the 32 classrooms being built in the new structure, club facilities are being provided for both men and women. A radio room, completely equipped for broadcasting, for students in radio advertising, printing laboratory where students of Journalism and advertising can study the use of type and illustrations. and laboratories for psychological and other experi- ments are a few features of the building designed to meet the de- mands of training for modern busi- ness administration.
 Projecting behind the main build ing toward Bay State Road, the assembly hall. seating 1,500, is near ing completion also. Plumbing, wir- ing and ventilation are being in- stalled as the interior walls are built. Construction of the modern building is substantially on the schedule, revised after recent labor difficulties, which calls for the com- pletion of the structure by June 1.

Your Income Tax
NO. 8

Taxpayers should note that un- der the Revenue Act of 1888 the credit for dependents as well as the personal exemption is required to be prorated where @ change of status occurs during the taxable year, and that these credits are allowable not only for the pur- pose of computing the normal tax but also the surtax. A fractional part of a month is to be disre- garded unless 1t amounts to more than half a month, in which case 1t is considered a month.
 For example, e single man and a single woman who were married on July 20, 1888, and were living together on the last day of the taxable year, may file a joint re- turn. If they file their return or returns on the basis of the cal- endar year, they would be en- titled to 8 personal exemption of $2,208.34, which Is seven-twelfths of $1,000 for the husband while single, plus seven-twelfths of $l,- 900 for the wife while single, plu. five twelfths of $2,500 for the period during which they were married. If separate returns are filed, each is entitled to a per- sonal exemption of $1,104.17, which is seven-twelfths of $l,O00. plus one-half of five-twelfths of $2,500. If during the year 1888 the husband or the wife had the status of the head of a family prior to their marriage, he or she would be entitled to his or her prorata share of the personal ex- emption of $2,500 allowed the head of Q family for the period prior to their marriage instead of mere- ly that allowed @ single person. However, for the period of their marriage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head of family would be merged in the joint personal exemption for that period. The joint per- sonal exemption allowable in the case of a couple who were married and living together during the en- tire year may not exceed $2.500.
 If a child under 18 years of age and dependent on the parent
 for support reaches the age of 18 years during the taxable year, the credit of $400 for Q dependent is required to be prorated in the
 same manner as the personal ex-
 emption. For example should the
 child's 18th birthday fall on June 30, the parent would be entitled to claim $200 credit for the depend ent child-that is, one-half oi
 $400. The same rule applies to other dependents where c change of status occurs during the tax able year.

 MT. Porter is optimistic about the new generation of Americans. "They will rise to the occasions as their sires and grandsons have, I am sure. As I think of all that has happened during my own lifetime, I wonder what is in store for them. In national affairs I trust that they will hold fast to the example and counsel of Washington and my great and beloved Commander, Abraham Lincoln"

He said that no teacher stayed longer than a year, because the marriagable young men in town were on the lookout and the teacher would be engaged before the year was out. The children watched the developments of the courtships with keen interest, and the smit- ten young gallant automatically made business of winning the good will of the children.
 "How did those marriages turn out?" MT. Porter was asked.
 Zine" he answered, with a chuckle, Every one was happy marriage"

 MT. Porter recalled for his students visitors not only war experiences but also told them of his childhood when Waterbury was village. He told of his first school, out in Bucks Hill, in 8 oneroom school house, with benches for the scholars to sit on but no desks. There were 30 scholars, and he remembers every name, girls and boys. He gives a glowing account of his teachers
