On ‘motion | Commonwealth’s Attorney James j Easley the Indictments against ten j other alleged mob members were i then dismissed by Judge W. K. Barks j dale. John S.

C. Bell, of the Albany circuit, who appointed H. Peacock of Albany, receiver, placed him under a $5,000 bond and ordered the marshalling of the company’s as sets and their sale to be applied on the defcts. ® Appointment of the receiver was oc casioned by a petition brought by J, E.

It was further alleged that the business owed $27,000, of which $17,000 worth is in the hands of attorneys and that its assets are not sufficient to pay more than half this amount; that the Davis-Exchange Bank Corporation which owns the building in which the business is located, has sworn out a distress warrant for $600 coyering three months’ rent.

EDWAE^i Prop.’ This offer was made public by E. A. Quarles, assistant to the president ot the line, who said the company had decided to avail Itself of an option clause in its charter, and that the Shipping Board at Washington had been asked by. telegraph to set a price. It also was admitted that reports current in shipping circles for several days to the effect that th^ company was negotiating with certain large fi nancial Interests relative to future de velopment of the line were true. Mr. Quarles cjeclined to make public the identity of these interests or to say whether they were American or for eign.

House in time for a recess of Congress by mid-August apparently found littto j reflection in the House ways anu j means committee, which plugged away j at public hearings on the measure with f two days more alloted to witnesses, j Chairman Fordney estimated thatj two weeks would be required for the! drafting of the bill after treasury and , internal revenue bureau experts havt,; pesented their final recommendations i at executive sessions planned for two ! days of next week. Under this pro-' gram the measure would reach the! House about the middle of ne*t f month. | Some leaders hope to put the bill through in a few days after its formal i presentation, but plans for handling j t0 lit In the House have not been fully I shaped up. The general procedure is expressed by committee members to be similar to that adopted with rela tion to the Fordney tariff bill—a Re publican caucus to consider the meas ure and the adoption by the House of a rule to limit the debate and shut off general amendments. Few new sugestions on tax revision ! have been offered by witnesses ap* j pearing duing the twb days of pub-; lie hearings, leaving the administn*-j tion plans as a principal recommendn- J tion before the committee. The sMgestion put foward than first glass postage rates be increased 3 cents got into the committee; hearing yesterday without indication,; however, that as yet it had been givt-u } serious consideration by the members. Postmaster General Hayqp estimates that restoration of the 3 cent lettei postage would yield between $75,000,- 000 and $80,000,000 annually and he j said that department studies were be ing . instituted of which a report and recommendation would be given the committee. Most testimony before the commit tee yesterday had to do with the shift ing of the tax burden, although organ ized labor through its spokesma.. joined with farmer's organizations in urging retention of the excess profits tax. ‘‘If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a bet ter mousetrap than his neighbor, tho he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.”—Emerson. Never in the history of the automobile business has the truth of this saying been proved so con clusively as in the case of STUDEBAKER cars in the six months ending June 0, 1921. 451 NEW STUDEBAKER CARS sold retail in New York City in the month of June, 1921. An increase of 450 per cent over the month of June 1920. The fact that this remarkable increase in sales was made in A BUYERS' MARKET where a most rigorous inspection and comparison of val ues is made by prospective buyers, is positive proof that STUDEBAKER CARS are the best values to be had.. BUSINESS MEN GIVE VIEWS ON TARIFF FLORIDA SHERIFF OUSTED Jacksonville, Fla., July 28.—Sheriff . H. Dowling of Duval county was yesterday removed from office by Gov. Hardee for alleged malfeasance and “neglect of his official duties as sher iff of Duval county.” County Commissioner R. E. Mer ritt was appointed to succeed him and A. H. St. John of Jacksonville nutned to succeed Mr. Merritt. The sheriff's removal follows his recent indictment by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to vio late the prohibition law.

YOUNG GIRL ON TRIAL FOR KILLING HER FATHER Galnesvilla Ga., July 28.—Myrta Wofford, 14,* was placed on trial here yesterday charged with the murder of her father, Cleveland Wofford, a farmer residing near here. The girl testified that Wofford had twice Improperly approached her, the latter time threatening to kill her when she said she would tell her grandfather, and that she took a shot gun and killed him the night of Feb. 15, last, when he came home and threatened to “devour the whole fam* ily.” Her grandparents made similar statement^. "The girt has been living with them since she was freed on bond shortly after the killing. Washington, D. C., July128.—Views! of business men in the American valu- atlon provisions in the Fordney tariff I bill wore given the Senate finance committed yesterday and support and condemnation of the plan came al ternatively. The day’s testimony marked sharply the line between the domestic manufacturer and the im porter, the former supporting and the latter denouncing the proposition to change the basis of dutic# assess ment. The committee was told by Jacob Dejong, a New York manufacturer, that the claims of the plan’s oppo nents. tlAit it would result diastrous- ly to most lines of import was un tenable. He declared that on the basis of last year’s fmports less than one billion dollars’, worth of the com modities brought in would be material ly affected. Thomas H. Eddy of Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, declared that the do mestic valuation plans would destroy, partially at least, the importing busi ness because of the uncertainty-which would follow its application. lie told the committee that the methods of determining value required by the bill meant that one man’s opinions would establish the tariff rates and so far as his firnT was concerned, w’ould mean that ail appraisals would be ap pealed for settlements to custom boards or the courts. Hearing oh the tariff bill will be side tracked by the committee tem porarily today while it considers fur ther the subject of funding the allied debts. ’ Chairman Penrose said he hofled ’to resume hearings on the thrift- Friday/ taking up the 'Chetaical schedule from which the three-year dye embargo has been eliminated.
