Robbin Bennett, fugitive attorney and. accused embezzler, will report in court tomorrow, morning for the hearing on the petition to have him debarred from practicing law In the Dauphin County courts. Bennett has filed an answer denying the embezzlement charges, anc1 contending that has given no grounds upon which he could legally be disbarred. That answer was mailed from an address in Brooklyn, N.

Y. The. Sheriff received word this morning that Bennett changed his address recently and now is -living at 294 Putnam street, in the same city. "I don't think I am his attorney," said Kobert Stucker this afternoon. Bennett wrote to Stucker more thau a month ago asking him to be his legal advisor, but Stucker said he has not heard from him since trfen, and does not suppose he will have anything to do with the case.

Even if Bennett does not appear, lawyers think the Court will go on with the hearing. Kephart Says No Steps Have Yet Been Taken to Prosecute W. S.

I have done nothing yet, but if any action is taken it will be through the Attorney General's Department. "Have you taken the matter up with the Attorney General?" he was asked. "I haven't," he replied. 2 ESCAPEIVIIEN CITY JAIL BURNS PITTSBURGH, March 13.

191'J. SATURDAY FINAL DAY FOR FILING INCOME RETURNS Saturday is the last day to file income tax returns at the 1 eat office of the Internal Revenue collector, in the Post Office Building, and the taxpayers are making: one grand rush to get in under the wire. The outstanding feature this year is the fact that so many women must make returns and pay taxes. Comparatively, there also Is a large number of married men paying the tax, notwithstanding that they have a $2000 personal exemption and an additional exemption of $200 for each child. Last year many married men made returns but di-1 not have to pay a tax.

Railroaders who gut hundreds of dollars back pay, and munitions workers who received big bonuses, are among the individual tax payers. Some unmarried men of that class were hard hit by the revenue bill, a number paying from $50 to $100. The income tax clerks are kept buay from morning until night, so heavy is the rush of men and women to mnlte returns. Nearly every morning this week men have been at the office an hour or more before the clerks arrived, and lined up, present-T ing a scene which resembled that at the gates of a ball field before a world series game. The father of eleven children was among those who made returns yesterday.

He was allowed exemptions aggregating $4200, and escaped paying a tax on his income, which was slightly more than $2000. A pool room proprietor who complained that the war took most of his patrons away, sugested that his losses ought to be deducted from his income. A legislator thought he ought to deduct his campaign bills from his gross income. Taxpayers are required to pay at least a fourth of the tax befor Saturday and the local revenue office has adopted the practice of accepting only checks or money orders. Permits Granted for Buildings Worth $19,060 Building permits for improvements that will cost an aggregate of $19,060 were issued this morning.

D. F. Bau-der will erect four two-and-onc-half story brick houses on the south side of Zarker street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth, costing $12,000. Warren Van Dyke will spend $5000 to improve the interior of a row of houses in 1800 block on Susquehanna street, and Bernard Schmidt will, build a $1500 brick and stucco garage at the rear of his home, the Shreiner house, Seventeenth and Forster streets.

At the noon luncheon of the Ki-wanis Club today the organization, which has been wormng hard to obtain an Increase in. salaries for pub-lie Bchool teachers of the State, went on record as favoring the passage of the Woodruff blil, now before the Legislature, as the one most likely to be adopted.

This bilj, while reducing the total amount of the proposed Increases below that proposed in another measure, has been argued on by the teachers' organization as the only one they can hope to see passed, anil the Kiwanlans decided not only to work for its adoption through the local members of the Legislature but to send letters to every Kiwanis Club in the State urging them to get vigorously behind the Woodruff measure.

Will Try to Amend Teachers' Salary Bill Efforts will be. made to amend the teachers' salary bill, which is backed by the Dauphin and other county school superintendents, and which graduates the proposed salary increases. This was announced this morning by W. R.

Zimmerman, assistant county superintendent. The bill, as it now stands, provides that the school districts pay much and the State little of the increases to be granted the high-class teachers, while the State would bear all but $1 a month of the increases proposed to be given the teachers with low ratings. That would encourage school districts to employ the poorer class of teachers because they would not cost the district much, Zimmerman said. The amendment would correct that objection, he added.
