belonged to “The Great Forward As?

imsult foreigners, but to shame pleas

Among the auditors of the speeches
in which foreigners were called un

ambassador, Paul Claudel, and the
Tttflian ambassador, Giacomo de Mar

CHICAGO. June 9.—Nathan Leo
pold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, million
aires’ sons who kidnapped and killed
Robert Franks, will enter pleas of
not guilty when arraigned Wednes
day on indictments charging murder
and kidnapping for ransom, their
counsel announced today.
Meanwhile Robert E. Crowe,
state’s attorney, resumed presenta
tion of certain angles of the case to
the grand jury with a view to com
bating a possible insanity plea of the
defense.* The grand Jury may still
indict the youths for conspiracy to
kidnap for ransom and to murder, he
indicated.
The principal discrepancy in the
Confession of the boys who said they
selected a school boy at random and
'killed him for the excitement was
believed by Hr. Crowe to have been
o’eared up today with the statement
of a chauffeur who said he saw Loeb
driving an automobi’e with Leopold
a short time before the kidnaping.
Both Loeb and Leopold said in
their confessions that they drove the
automobile in which the Franks boy
was kidnaped and slain, each accus
ing his companion of doing the kill
ing. 1
Notes taken by each of the youths
when the confession of the other boy
was read to him were made public
by the state’s attorney’s office which
indicated that the notes dealing with
discrepancies which the one who made
them existed in the other’s confession
would prove va’auble evidence in
showing the boys to be sane.

| INCOME TAXPAYERS TO GET
25 PER CENT. REDUCTION
i Ail individual taxpayers will be
| given the benefit of the 25 per cent
reduction of Income Taxes payable
during 1924 in determining the
| amount to be paid as the June 15th
| installment.
' If one-fourth of the total tax re
ported ■fras paid at the time the re
turn was filed, the June 15th instal
lment will be only one-half of the
amount paid when the return was
filed. As an example, if the total
liability was SIOO. and $25. being
paid at the time the return was filed,
the amount of the June installment
will be $12.50. The correct tax lia
bility being reduced from SIOO. to
$75. and $25. having been paid, it is
| only necessary that the amount of
the June instal'ment be sufficient to
cover one-half of the total amount
due for the year.
I If three-fourths of the total
amount of tax reported to be due was
paid at the time of filing the return,
no further payment will be due.
If one-half of the total tax report
ed to be due was paid when the re
turn was filed, no payment will be
due until September 15th.
In the event the entire amount of
tax reported to be due was paid at
| the time the return was filled, the
1 overpayment of 25 per cent will be
refunded as soon as it is physically
possible to do so. In the meantime
it will not be necessary that any
claim for refund be filed or any
other action taken by the taxpayer. !
