Now time for good citi- explain before Internal Revenue De- the Government of the United States America just how they out their income tax returns manner that they made out. is room in Federal Building412-in which appear trembling their hearts and terrifyingly ofenveiope in their hands, long such citizens, expecting notming of death a jail sentence Government's hands.

Their appearaace there is the direct result the receipt of the envelope, which came to them perhaps two or three days before. This envelope is long and wide place of a stamp has the words "penalty for private use to avoid postage $300 printed in the upper right-hand corner. The whole atmosphere is of penalties, ishments- -the strong arm of the Federal Government reaching out to take vengeance for the least infraction of the law. Within the envelope is a letter which. again.

breathes of officialdom. fines worse. This letter orders Mr. Citizen to report at Room 413 on a specified day and month, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., so that an investigation may be made of his income tax return for the year 1920.

The investigation is made necessary, the letter explains, because of a lack of understanding of the provisions of the income tax law. A mystic serial number, 68574382-J, like a glorified telephone number of a party wire, is typewritten at the top, and the words. in large capitals, "John T. Rafferty, Internal Revenue Collector for the Eastern District of New York," at the bottom. Rarely does Mr.

Citizen come with his le letter alone. The matter is too serious to be treated thus lightly. He calls on his State Senator or Assemblyman, or he gets the Alderman to come with him; or at least the third cousin of the second deputy clerk of the magistrate's court in his districtsomebody with an official standing. Thus to some extent fortified, he approaches Room 412. On the way he thinks of the various possibilities of his having made an erroneous statement on his return.

He mentally adds up the items of his income and subtracts the deductions. He recalls that he never was much good at arithmetic--that's probably where he made a mistake. He recalls that he swore to the truth of the statements made herein. and the prospects of prosecution for perjury begin to loom up before him. of course he meant perfectly well.

but will the Government of the United States of America and the Internal Revenue Collector for the Eastern District of New York believe him when he says so? There was a man lived around the corner who went to jail for a year for perjury. In Room 412 he finds a number of official-looking personages. One might be the Prosecuting Attorney and that other one there looks like a marshal or some other arresting ficer, waiting for business. It appears that Mr. Rafferty himself is not there.

but Deputy Collector George Eilperin presently takes the citizen in tow. Mr. Eilperin is ordinarily a jolly sort of person, but in his official he appears-anything but encouraging. Mr. Citizen introduces the Assemblyman or third cousin of the deputy clerk, and the patron begins to explain the situation.

Mr. Eilperin breaks in with an abrupt question. "Have you got the letter?" he asks. silence the letter is produced and perused. "Bring me 68574382-J." IN MEMORIAM Four years ago today, Hal, you left us on your 21st birthday.

Howard C. Dickinson. Topping off the large number of jewel robberies on various parts of Long Island recently came the report yesterday of robbery at the home of Howard C. Dickinson at As in most of the other instances the Southampton. latest report is clouded in secrecy.

As far as can be learned, a diamond ring two diamond bracelets valued at $5,000 and highly prized family heirlooms are said to have peen stole. from Mrs. Dickinson's jewelry box in her wardrobe. The Jewels, according to the report, disappeared some tit.ac between the death of Mrs. Agnes Wagstaff Dickinson, mother of Mr.

Dickinson, on Aug. 11, and four days later, when she was buried. Chief of Police 0. c. Lane of Southampton yesterday declared that no report of the alleged robbery had been made to him and that all he knew about the affair was that a claim had been lodged by the Dickinsons with an indemnity company for a loss.

Mrs. Dickinson refused to discuss the report yesterday. It is said that only a fraction of the jewelry in the jewel box was taken, indicating that either the supposed thief was interrupted in his work, or that he entertained a particular craving for the pieces stolen. The missing bracelets are said to have contained more than thirty diamonds each, one of them having a particularly attractive flexible setting. The diamond ring was a large one.

If stolen, the thief apparently took advantage of the grief and preoccupation of the Dickinson family as the result of the death of the elder Mrs. on Dickinson. Only a few weeks ago a jewel mystery at Southampton became known when notices were posted throughout the colony of the loss of gems either by Mrs. John Alden Talbot or her mother, Mrs. Peabody.

During the same week Mrs. Leonard Thomas was the victim of a $5,000 jewel robbery. BANKER AND POLICE OFFICER INDICTED IN NATIONAL RUM PLOT Former Loaned Bootleggers $50,000, Latter Got $10,000 for Protection, Is Charge. Chicago, Sept. 3-Carl M.

Behrens, vice president of the Lincoln Trust and Savings Bank: Police Lieutenant James Van Natta and five other men were indicted today by a Federal Grand Jury in connection with an alleged nation-wire liquor ring. Behrens is charged with loaning $50,000 to the bootleggers. The indictment, which charges conspiracy to violate the Volstead act, also names Edward Groeninger, Robert Fabrini, Milton M. Fox and Hugo and Thomas Weiss, the latter two saloon keepers. Groeninger is charged with having paid a Federal official $15,000 for protection in the delivery of $400.000 worth of liquor from Cincinnati to Chicago.

Behrens is charged with loaning the $50,000 on unsecured promissory notes, and in return was receive $3 profit on each of the 1,500 cases of whisky in the shipment. Lieutenant Van Natta, the Government charges, received $10,000 for police protection, which he was to furnish for the delivery of the liquor to Chicago saloons. The liquor was purchased from Freedman Richards of Cincinnati on bona fide permits obtained from the Federal agents who is said to have accepted the $15,000 bribe. The shipment was routed for delivery at a terminal in Lieutenant Van Natta's police district. Kelly, a druggist, who claims his name was forged on the permits, along with that of Hubert Howard, former prohibition director, told Government agents of the alleged plot.

The carload of liquor was confiscated when it reached Chicago. WIND STORM WRECKS BAY STATE HOMES Does Great Damage in 3 Towns. Lightning Flashes in Sunshine Woburn, Sept. 3-A terrific windstorm, accompanied by lightning, hail and rain, did much damage in this city, Melrose today. The only a few Stonehamasand minutes, but buildings were demolished, several houses were struck by lightning and the rain and hail did much damage to crops.

Wind lifted a building on Salem Woburn, occupied by the Riley Leather Company, from its foundation and carried it 20 feet. The roof landed in a field where eight employees were rounding up sides of leather, which had been blown away, and injured three of them seriously. They Were taken to a hospital, where it was found that Alonzo Bonney had both legs broken, Richard Redfern had one leg and two ribs fractured, and James Cannon, who apparently had come in contact with the steam plant, was badly burned. The shipping room at the plant of the Murray Japanning Company, a short distance away, was unroofed and the debris was blown across a field to the woods, a distance of 100 feet. A dwelling in the same neighborhood was badly damaged.

The police ambulance and fire apparatus answering hurry calls found their way blocked by big trees felled by the wind. In Stoneham many trees and wires were blown down and crops suffered from hail and rain. Melrose experienced the phenomenon of vivid flashes of lightning while the sun shone brightly. The bolts struck in several places, damaging two dwellings and putting electric lights and telephones out of commission. A garage was demolished by the wind and trees and poles were blown down.

Frank H. Clarke and Archie Mor- rison, 17-year-old students at Mar. quand, on Friday completed a 10- day trip from Raton, N. in the worst looking flivver that ever faced the dust along the Turnpike of Time. When the trip was half over some one offered the lads $40 for the contraption 0.

(full of bumps). The windshield is gone, the radiator cover and the top were lost in a spill at North Bend, and what is left of the car holds together only because of the wonderful atomic theory that we have read so much about in recent months. The two boys left Raton on Aug. 21 out for a lark in the flivver, which had been given to them by a friend, Maj. Robert Edwards of New Mexico.

It wasn't much more than a group of machinery when they got it, but a little tinkering soon had it in a condition that enabled it to move. The boys started for Denver, and went thence to Fort Morgan, where they turned their course to the East. It was going through Nebraska where the first trouble occurred. At North Bend the flivver flew over a sand bank and turned completely over three times. When it had been righted in the road many parts were missing.

In four hours the boys had it running shape again, and were on their way. After five miles of going they discovered they had forgotten the chassis and had to go back after it.

On this side of Chicago the roads were better, and old flivver part of her rust, part of her dust and the rest of her nothing at all, got into her stride. A five-hour delay while fixing a broken drive shaft at Clinton, Iowa, was made up between Cleveland and Buffalo. Down through New York State the machine tore. She landed in Brooklyn at noon Friday. Since that hour Morrison Clarke and the flivver have been a center of attraction.

IF FORD'S OFFER IS ACCEPTED Merchants' Association Lays Protest With Weeks Against Plan to Take Nitrate Plant. Washington, Sept. 3-Protest against the Government's acceptance of Henry Ford's offer for. the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, was made today to Secretary of War Weeks by a committee representing the Merchants Association of New York. An analysis of the Ford offer Mr.

Weeks by the committee presented to purported to show that acceptance of the offer would entail upon the Government a loss of $164,000.000 in 100 years. This conclusion was based upon the claim that completion of the hydro-electric power plant would necessitate further expenditures by the Government amounting to $60.000.000, instead of the $28,000,000 estimated by Mr. Ford, and would mean a total outlay of $77.000.000 by the Government on this plant. $17.000,000 already having been expended. At the end of 100 years, according to the committee analysis, the outlay of capital investment and interest at 5 percent would amount to $377,000.000 while the income provided in the Ford offer would amount to but $213.000.000.

Of this latter amount $45,000.000 would come from sinking fund payments and earnings and $168,000.000 from interest at 6 per cent. on the 000.000 which Ford asks the Government to expend for completing the plant. Protest also was made against the Government "invading the industrial field either directly or by of a means The holding companies behind the principal Brooklyn and Manhattan transit lines are showing a disposition to look with favor upon the proposal of a city- wide unification of traction systems as set forth by Governor Miller in support of his transit mesaure and more fully developed in treatise prepared by Transit Commissioner Le Roy T. Harkness, according to statements yesterday by men close to the Transit Commission which is preparing a plan for the readjustment of transit throughout the city. The Harkness treatise was prepared for the American Bar Association and read before that group at its meeting in Cincinnati last week.

It has since been published in pamphlet form and distributed widely among those intersubject. It is the first authoritative statement made by any of the Transit Commissioners and since they began their job last May, is regarded as a forerunner of the first report of the Commission which Chairman MeAneny has said would be made about the middle of this month. Word that the unified system plan. strongly advocated by Harkness, had favor among the transit companies was welcome to those who are working on the plan. It was stated that this favor was particularly strong among the managers of the Interborough Consolidated, the holding company for the 1.

R. and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, holding concern for the local lines in this boro. These holding companies represent the financial interests behind the systems, It is axiomatic in the Transit Commission- -AS it had been for years, in the old Public Service Commissions that it is always the moneyed interests rather than the operating heads that must be brought into line for the success of any negotiation. During the dual subway negotiations the old commission always found that it could not get a final answer on any proposition from the operating executives. The last word was spoken by the financiers.

So that the word now that these interests are favorable to negotiations on the unified system scheme is cheering to the commission. If the drift in that direction crystallizes, it will be of immeasurable assistance in putting through a reorganization planIn some quarters it is regarded as the one thing that would assure success. The Transit Commission has plenary power to. compel acceptance of its plan by the city through court action, and by means of that power could compel this participant to accede to its demands. But the Legislature, under the Constitution, was powerless to give the commission the same breadth of power over private interests at stake.

It is admitted that these interests must be dealt with by nego- tiation. Companies See Fare Increase Glimmering. The attitude of the money interests is said to be dictated by the present downward trend of prices and the temper of the public, which has brought a realization that the companies cannot carry out their plans of a year ago to force through a fare increase, and that their only hope for a stablization of their securities is to accept reorganization at the hands of the commission. The newest point developed in Commissioner Harkness' treatment of the transit problem was a discussion of the possibility of a flexible fare. He pointed out, as stated in The Eagle more than a month ago, that the Commission in fixing values for a basis of transit reorganization had regarded the earning capacity of the lines under the 5-cent fare contracts as a limiting factor and that the value must be so fixed that a 5-cent fare would do in normal times, but said that this factor must be figured over a period of 10 years or more to get a fair average, and indicated that provision might be made for increasing the fare in such times of financial trouble as followed the world war.

But in return for such protection he. said the companies should be ready to accept concessions in contracts with the city. "The companies took the franchises and contracts based on 5-cent he said, "with the expectation of large profits both from dividends and increases in the market value of securities. Most of the stocks were speculative to a high degree. The companies heretofore have Insisted on the rigidity of a 5-cent fare--American urban traffic was based upon it, franchises had been granted and contracts let in reliance upon it and, therefore, it could not be disturbed.

This, before the war was the companies, position. They, however, have changed their base and see now, not profit, but loss and possible disaster in a fixed rate of fare. In short, they ask that the underlying basis upon which they entered the transit field be changed from risk to protection, their securities from a speculative to a stabilized character. With such a radical change it would seem that they themselyes should recognize the entire justice of requiring readjustment of their engagements with the public as expressed in outstanding franchises and contracts to accord with the new base. Readjustment Involves Consolidation.

"Furthermore, a readjustment necessarily involves the element of consolidation, for otherwise a flexible fare does not seem practicable. Relatively, the surface much worse off than the rapid transit lines and more in need of relief. But an increased fare on the surface lines alone would drive the great part of their traffic to the rapid transit lines and leave them worse off than before. A similar raise of fare on the rapid transit lines would rive them more than they need and therefore amount to overcharging the public using them." Harkness in his statement also came out flatly for the remission of taxes upon transit lines- -a subject forecasted by The Eagle several weeks ago. As pointed out in The Eagle then these total a burden of six or seven million dollars a year--the tax bill of the I.

B. R. New York RailThird Avenue Railroad was $6,294.279.88 for the year ending June 30. 1920. "A large part of this taxation." said Harkness, "is imposed through the special franchise taxes, the theory of.

which is that the companies should be required to pay taxes commensurate with the values of the rights granted by the public. However just such tax may be in principle, the ingly heavy. burden en on transit operation is exceed'Moreover, the adoption of the principle of regulation as exemplified in the Public Service Commissions law. has worked a change in the situation as it existed at the time the special franchise tax was first enacted. The better view is that the return to the public should be in service and not in taxation and if the revenues become more than needed for adequate service, the proper remedy is a reduction in fares.

At the present time, AS the subway properties are owned by the city, the Interboro and B. R. T. are substantially free. from taxation in connection with the operation of eity-owned properties, while the elevated and surface lines bear an increasingly heavy Mr.
