Huge Damage Suit
Against Mellon
Washington, Feb. 27.?Andrew s W.
Mellon, ambassador to Great Britain
and former secretary of the treasury,
and two former officials of the Internal
Revenue bureau, today were
mamed defendants in a $220,000,000
suit chardjag alleged conniyanje with
officers oi foreign . steamship companies
to evade just income taxes.
Named with Mellon were David H.
Blair, one-time commissioner of internal
revenue, 4nd Alexander W.
Gregg, former acting general counsel
of the bureau.
The suit was filed in the District
of Columbia Supreme court by Da-j
vid A. Olson, who resigned recently
as investigator for the senate stock
market inquiry committee after
charging that his efforts were being
blocked by Senator Norbeck (R., S.
D.) and others on the committee.
The papers charged that Mr. Mellon
not only failed to collect $100,000,000
in delinquent taxes from foreign
steamship interests, but placed
the government in such a position
that it was compelled to "refund some
$10,000,000 to the companies. The
identities of the companies were not
disclosed in the suit.
The suit was based upon a statute
of 1863 which prohibits the defrauding
of the government by trickery
and makes federal officials liable for
double the amount of damages suf-j
fered by the government. j
Although filed in Olson's name, it
is on behalf of the people of tho
United States, so that any damages
awarded would revert to the treasury
department.
Olson, through his attorneys, alleged
that the federal authorities
wrongfully permitted the foreign
companies to make amended tax returns
on the revenue act of 1921 instead
of the acts of 1916, 1917 and
1918. It was contended that the companies
had refused to make tax payments
on the latter three years.
The papers said that Mellon conferred
with steamship officials during
March, 1927, "for the purpose of
assisting said companies in attempts
to defeat the claim of the United
States."

county ,who was shot and killed by

Extend Time On License Tags
Columbia, Feb. 24.?Following adoption
by the legislature of a resolution
prolonging the time for buying
automobile licenses to March 7,
Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway com-,
missioner today said the extension
would remain in force "until further
notice."
"In view of proposed legislation
on a license fee reduction still pending,"
the chief highway commissioner
said, "the extension for buying licenses
will continue in effect until
further notice from the state highway
department."
?A previous extension in compliance
with the second legislative resolution
of it&> kind would have expired February
25. Motor vehicles ordinarily
are required by law to carry new
annual tags by January 1.

Hacf Roosevelt
Been Killed?
1 ! 'I 1 ' V*
If the assassin at Miami had killed
Roosevelt, what then? Would Garner
have become preaident, though
he nor Roosevelt had actually become
president and vice president by taking
the oath of office? If Garner
would have become president, who,
would then be in line to succeed him
as president in case of his death or
disability ? Before adoption of the
twentieth amendment those questions
would have provoked considerable
discussion as the framers of the constitution
do not seem to have envisaged
the possibility of a president or
^ite president dying or becoming disabled
after election and before actually
assuming office. The twentieth
amendment provides for that contingency,
as well as performing its
better known function of doing away
with lame duck sessions of congress
and providing that a president shall
take oath of office in January following
his election and that a newly
elected congres^ shall also meet in
January. The third section of the
twentieth amendment is as follows:
"If, at the time fixed for the beginning
of the term of the president,
I the president-elect shall have .died,
the vice-president-elect shall bccomo
president. If a president shall not
have been chosen before the time
fixed for the beginning of his term,
or if the president-elect shall have
failed to qualify, then the vice president-elect
shall act as president
until a president shall have qualified;
and the congress may by law provide
for the case wherein neither a
president-elect nor a vice-presidentelect
shall have qualified; declaring
who shall then act as president, or
the manner in which one who is to
a<;t shall act accordingly until a president
or a vice-president shall have
qualified."
Operation Waa Fatal.
Marion, N. C., Feb. 26.?Samuel A.
Hurdt, of Nebo, who spent a large
portion of his 57 years displaying his
immunity from harm by rattlesnake
bites, is dead after a gallstone operation.
Hurdt was a snake handler of wide
renown in these parts> and was frequently
bitten, but the fangs of the
most venomous seemed to cause him
j no irritation.
Youngest Major Takes Own Life.
Sanford ,N. C., Feb. 23.?Ltr Gel.
Wm. D. Harris, 38, said to be one of
the youngest majors who served
overseas during the war, and formerly
head of the state department of
conservation and development, shot
himself to death at the home of his
stepmother at Jonesboro, near here
today.
| Lt. Col. Harris walked from his
home into the back yard and shot
himself with a shotgun just under the
heart, c
He left several notes, one of which
requested that he be buried in Arlington
cemetery, and another said
he was despondent over conditions in
general.
His widow and one son survive.
J. David Stern, editor of the Philadelphia
Record, advocated before the
senate finance committee, that the
depression be fought "as we fought
the war." He calls for a gold embargo
such as was in effect during the
World war, and for an expansion of
credit to stabilize the dollar. He
would have more liberal credits extended
to . the consumers instead of to
the producers. This, he said, would
start buying and thus stimulate production.

Household
Shoes
Shoes are a most important part
a person's attire. " In fact,~T have
heard it said many times that "one
can always tell a gentleman by his
shoes." Bo that as' it may, here are
a few hints as to the care of shoes:
1. Keep' shoes clean. Always
w'Pe light colored shoes cl^an with
a clean cloth after each wearing.
Place on trees and put away carefully
covered.
2. To clean tan shoes: Wash tani
shoes with wrfrm water and ca^ile
*>ap. Lei them dry and then ijpfcrtish
in usual way.
<* To remote grease from snede
shoes. This works especially well
with candle grease apota. Place a
piece of brown wrapping paper orer
**tase spot; v Bold warm iron orer
the paper. The spot will be absorbed
in this way.
4. -To prevent new shoee f-om'
pinching. Lay a cloth moistened in
hot water across place pressure is
felt. When cloth becomes cool change
it. In thiR way the, leather shapes
itself to the foot. 6.
A help to keep shoes waterproof.
Rub bees-wax or mutton
suet around boots and- shoes.
6. To preserve kid shoes. Rub
patent leather shoes with a little petroleum
jelly at night. In the morning,
wipe off shoes and polish gently.
