Woman Testifies
That Her Husband
Killed Taxi Driver
DELAND, Fla., Nov. 20.—Testi
mony that Charles Browne, on trial
here for the murder of Howard
Usher, Daytona taxi driver, shot
Usher, robbed him and threw the
body in a swamp, where he fired two
more shots into the body, was given
here this afternoon by George Burns,
said to be of Boston, who also must
face trial on a murder charge.
Bums’ testimony was given after
Clara Browne, wife of Charles
Browne, testified that her husband
shot Usher once as they rode in
Usher's car and that two other shots
were fired into his body. She said
she did not know who fired these
two shots.
Burns testified that Browne order
ed him out of the automobile at the
point of a gun ana then shot Usher
in the back. After Browne dragged
Usher’s body from the driver’s seat,
he ordered Burns to drive, he testi
fied.
While they drove on a short way,
Burns said, Browne took Usher’s
wallet and other effects from the
taxi man's clothes and then ordered
Burns to stop the car and help him
remove the body to a near-by swamp.
There, Burns said, Browne fired two
mor© shots into the body.
The revolver used belonged to her
husband, the woman testified. The
weapon later was found in a pocket
of an overcoat Mrs. Browne was
wearing when arrested. She said the
overcoat belonged to Burns. Three
bullets of a caliber similar to that of
the gun were found in Usher’s body.
The witness declared that she and
her husband were at St. Augustine
when they met George Burns. They
then went to Palatka, she said, and
then to Daytona, where they en
gaged Usher to drive them. When
they were nearing Port Orange, she
said, Burns, who was with Usher
on the front seat of the motor, or
dered the driver to stop. Charles
' Browne then shot Usher from the
rear seat, she said.
The prosecution was expected to
place Burns on the stand later to
day.

MG PROBERS
BLOCKS TESTIMONY
OFMRS.MGRTIMER
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Mrs.
Katherine Mortimer, of Philadelphia,
wife of Elias H. Mortimer, star wit
ness against former Director Charles
R. Forbes, tried unsuccessfully to
testify today before the senate vet
erans’ committee in an effort, she
said, to vindicate publicly her "char
acter and good name.”
Responding to the formal request
of her counsel, Daniel T. Wright
Chairman Reed said Mrs. Mortimer
had been heard at her own request
in private, and that if she desired
the committee would release her tes
timony publicly. He added that the
committee also would propound to
Mrs. Mortimer in public such ques
tions as her counsel might prepare,
and as the committee might regard
as relevant and necessary.
"There has been too much irrele
vant testimony in this matter al
ready,” Chairman Reed said. "The
principal offender in this respect was
Mrs. Mortimer’s own attorney in her
divorce proceedings (S. D. Timber
lake, of Saunton, Va.) He dragged
into the record matters which he as
an attorney must have known, was
irrelevant.
"W e do not recall anything in the
record reflecting on the character of
Mrs. Mortimer. Where she was re
ferred to it was merely for the pur
pose of fixing dates and times and
th e names of persons present when
Veterans’ bureau matters were un
der discussion.”
To Reveal Testimony
Mr. Wright told the committee he
would submit questions to the com
mittee and that Mrs. Mortimer had
asked him to request the committee
that her testimony given in secret
session be made public.
Mrs. Mortimer, who was accompa
nied by a woman friend, then left
the committee room with her coun
sel.
While much of the public investi
gation has been taken up with
charges of debauchery and corrup
tion and testimony relating to the
domestic difficulties of former Direc
tor Charles R. Forbes and his prin
cipal accuser, Elias 11. Mortimer,
members of the committee say a
vast volume of constructive work
has been done at their business ses
sions, which have extended over
many weeks.
As a result of the inquiry, which
begun last March, they declare much
"red tape” jn the bureau has been
cut; injustices to both the veterans
and the government have been re
moved in many instances and a gen
eral speeding up of the machinery
both in the central office and in the
field has been brought about.

MORE TH THIRD
OF LOWER BOUSE
FOR BUSSEY BILL
More than one-third of the mem
bership of the house of representa
tives, at a caucus Monday night,
tacitly agreed to align themselves
behind house bill No. 36, known
popularly as the Bussey bill. Ac
tually, -seventy-four members at
tended the meeting, and numerically
this represents more than enough
members to block any constitutional
amendment, requiring a two-thirds
vote.
The caucus was called by Repre
sentative Covington, of Colquitt
county, a house leader, and one of
Mr. Bussey’s co-authors in the
preparation of the bill.
Representative Bussey outlined
the purposes and provisions of the
bill. He said:
‘‘The state tax of $5 on the SI,OOO
would be removed on property re
turned county tax receivers.. This
would eliminate the necessity of
equalizing taxes among the various
counties. The most approved meth
od shown in other states would be
used in taxation of railroads, other
public service and public utility
corporations.
“Their real estate, tracks, depots
and other permanent ways and
structures would be left taxable as
now by state, county, city and school
district, on an ad valorem basis.
Their personal property would be
taken for state taxation only, on an
ad valorem basis, apd their fran
chises would be subject only to stat*
tax on a percentage of their gross
receipts.
“A net income tax is proposed
upon individuals of one, two and
three per cent, and upon private
corporations (not public service and
utility corporations) of two, three
and five percentum. This distinction
is in line with the best thought on
the subject—the New York tax com
mission, and others —that corpora
tions should pay higher income taxes
than individual persons.
“The financial effect of my bill
upon the state leaves $109,973,574
railroad and public service corpora
tion real estate subject to state a a
valorem tax of live per cent and will
yield state taxes of $549,867.87. Taxes
on $29,134,802 of railroad personal
property at ad valorem tax rate of
two per cent would yield state taxes
of $582,696.04; taxes on $150,500,000
of gross income of railroad and pub
lic service corporations on two year
centage basis, would yield state
taxes of $3,150,000; on individual tax
able incomes of $66,243,611 an aver
age of two per cent income will
yield state taxes of $1,851,553.56,
giving a total of state taxes under
the bill of $7,458,989.69. and showing
a gain over the state’s present reve
nue of $1,854,886.90.

extreme penalty, in due course of
time, for alleged criminal assault
upan a Deland white woman about

sentence, imposed in May, 1922, by
Judge J. W. Perkins, in Volusia

AN OBLIGING
BEAUTY DOCTOR
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home-
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
“Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum. a small box
of Barbo Compound and 1-4 ounce of
glycerine.
"These ingredients can b» pur
chasefl at any drug store at very lit
tle cost. Apply to the hair twice
a week until the desired shade is
obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. It does not color the scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and will not
rub off.”—(Advertisement.)

been recommended by a grand jury.
Recommendation • is contained in
presentment of grand jury* made at

with expression of alarm at laxity
everywhere in enforcement of game
laws and consequent rapid extinc

is great asset to state. Particular
protection of bald-headed eagle and
sand hill or whooping crane is also
recommended, and it is suggested

Here Are Details of Our Great
Fruit Garden Collection
Offer
The TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL will help you start a
Home Orchard and Fruit Garden, or to add to what you
have by sending you Six fine Apple Trees, Two Pear
Trees, Four Concord Grape Vines and Eight Dewberry
Vines of the most profitable variety known.
If you take advantage of our offer without delay, we
will send you THE TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL FOR ONE
YEAR, or extend your subscription twelve months from the
present expiration date, and these TWENTY PLANTS, ALL
FOR ONLY $1.50. We will deliver these plants to you at
your mail box,, with parcel post charges paid.
Think of the barrels of choice apples and pears, the
bushels of delicious table grapes, and the loads of luscious,
melting dewberries you can raise in your own garden from
these fine trees and vines. In just a short time you can
have all the apples, pears, grapes and dewberries you can
use on your own table and plenty left to put up for the
winter. And after the trees and vines come into full bear
ing, you will have a nice surplus left to sell at fancy pi ices.
Here is what the collection includes:
Six Baby Apple Trees
Healthy, vigorous little "baby trees” that grow rapidly
into large, heavy-cropping trees. They are produced by
grafting a branch from a fruit tree to a healthy one-year
root, and tying the union with waxed twine. Though
less than a foot in length, they take root shortly after being
planted and make wonderfully rapid growth when given the
care they deserve. We will send: Two Genuine Delicious—
the handsomest Apple grown and the best. Two Jonathans
—a favorite wherever apples can be grown and of delightful
flavor. Two Wealthys—popular and profitable; a splendid
keeper. ♦
Two Kieffer Pear Trees
Plants come in same shape as Apple trees. This old, de
pendable variety is a favorite for every purpose, wherever
pears are grown. Os incomparable flavor when fully ripe.
Four Pedigreed Grape Vines
Selected year-old Concord vines from the- famous South
ern Michigan grape belt, where the variety has been' grown
and perfected for the last half century, and where the vines
have been bred up to an average yield of a bushel of the
finest table grapes to every vine. The Concord is hardy and
will thrive in locations where many other varieties cannot be
grown. The vines we will send you are selected mailing
size stock; with plenty of roots to start off with vigorous
growth. They fruit the third year and reach full size in
five, after which, with proper care, you can depend upon
your bushel of choicest grapes from every vine, and you can
make cuttings which will give you a vineyard of any size
you desire.
Eight Vigorous Lucretia Dewberry Vines
As the Dewberry produces a good crop the next summer
after being planted, they are ideal to plant with grapes.
While waiting for your grapes to come into bearing, the
dewberry vines will furnish immense clusters of shining
black, melting, juicy berries. As a source of delicious fruit
juice the Dewberry is giving the Concord grape a close race,
as the Dewberry juice is as good as grape juice, and the
crop is cheaper to grow. Eight of our vines in your garden
will give you a good annual supply of this splendid berry,
and you will have every year from twenty to fifty new plants
to re-set or to sell to your neighbors.
Now, Note This Carefully
EVERY COLLECTION IS GUARANTEED to consist of
good, vigorous, hardy stock; to arrive in growing condition
and to be in t*rery way satisfactory to you, unless you are
unreasonable. Unsatisfactory plants and vines will be re
placed free.
ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIOiNS FOR PLANTING are
wrapped in each package of trees and vines. These Instruc
tions are illustrated with pictures and diagrams, and show
just what to do to have success with your fruit garden.
DELIVERED TO YOUR BOX, POSTPAID.
SHIPMENTS WILL START IN DECEMBER. Nothing
can be accomplished by planting them sooner. As you know,

in ample time to make the best possible growth if given cor
rect care.
