headquarters.
Breaking of the seals on a
.secret indictment returned sonv
weeks ago by the federal grand jur '
investigating enforcement of tin
"Volstead Act in this city revealed
the fact that Harold L. Mart, a
prominent Biiighamton attorney, who
formerly served as federal prohibition
director for the State of New
York, headed the list of a score o
^defendants charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government through
liquor withdrawals.
Immediately public attention
focused on poison liquor consumed
'during the holidayss, which caimed
its nineteenth victim, switched to
'the flood of real alcoholics which
Ave re alleged to haw boon loosed
through punative fake drug concerns.
Indicted with Hart were two
other high enforcement officials,
three politicians and a number of
the "drug" c> ncerns and their officers.
The list of defendants included
:
Thomas Redely, formerly allied
with the Postoffic1 Department and
Department of Jusice and who lat'.v1
served as Hart's assistant befoiv
the hitter's resignation last fall.
Michael J. l.vnch, a clerk in
Hart's office, with a key to the
cabinet containing the serially
numbered withdrawal permits. .
William A. Orr, private secretary ?
to Charles S. Whitman when the (
latter occupied the gubernatorial ,
chair and now engaged in the in- ]

THE HORRY HERALD, CON
NEW TAX LAWS"
ARE WANTED
Taxpayers Meeting in Columbia
Form an Association For
Mutual Benefit
The recent meeting of taxuayci.; 1
in Columbia, on the question of tax
ation which has become a leal buvde'
( n owners of property in this State,
has resulted in the formation of a
association. The association will try
to get a suitable law passed at tli
present session of the Legislature t-;
place taxes on gasoline and otho;
things which will be easier to pa>
than to increase the already larg
levy on the property of the State.
The Herald has received the follow
ing ctter from the association signed
by C. W. Coker, President:
"At a meeting of the Taxpayers of
k.?ir\.ivu v/(iiuiuia in v^oiumout on uc li.ber
14t.li, 1921, a program \va
adopted providing for the following
now sources of revenue for State
purposes; a gasoline tax, an occupaion
tax, an inheritance tax, an in
Tease in the corporaion license tax
in income tax not to exceed 10 pe>jent
of the total federal tax assessed
"gainst each taxpayer, and luxury
tax.
In order to reduce the taxes on
visible property which is now al
oady over-burdened with taxes, ii
vi'l l?e necessary to secure revenue
from other sources.
The business men of this Sta!
have given this matter very carefu' |
and n iture consideration and recommeiul
to the General Assembly th ^ ,
passage of the above tax laws which ,
will reduce the State levy from 40 t.<>
50 per cent. It is impossible, with
our Constitutional limitations, to 1
suggest any other measures which 1
will afford relief to the taxpayer*? '>
now paying more than their just )
proportion of the tax burden.
We solicit your earnest and en t
thusiastic co-operation i n this re- 1
form movement, and ask that yoii
adopt resolutions, and send petitions
to the General Assembly, call- }
ing upon the members to use their *
influence for the enactment of these *
tax laws. 1
Prompt action on your part will c
be necessary, as the Legislature *
meets next week, and your peti- '
tions should be forwarded at the (
earliest possible moment."

YOUNG DOCTOR
ni!7fi ATWADIT
A T T V1V1V
Vera Cruz, Mexico.?Dr. Howard
B. Cro^s of the Rockefeller Institute
died here this morning:* a victim of
yellow fever.
Dr. Cross arrived at Vera Cruz
early this month to open a laboratory
for studying yellow fever and marsh
fever, under the Rockefeller Institute's
auspices. Twelve days .ago he
wont to Tuxtepec, center of the yellow
fever district, and contracted the
disease.
Dr. Cross is the second American
physician to die here of yellow f ve \
within a year, the first being Dr.
lined rick, attached to the American
Consulate.
Dr. Cross, who thus sacrificed his
life to science and to humanity, was
a member of the staff of the International
Health Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation, which seeks to
eradicate, or at least to suppress
contagious diseases, particularly in
tropical and semi-tropical countries.
Dr. Cross, who was thirty-two, was
a native of Oklahoma and ,a graduate
of the University of Oklahoma. His
scientific training had been zoology
and bacteriology and, after graduation,
he taught zoology at the University
of Oklahoma for two years.
Then he was .a graduate at the University
of Chicago and Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore. John
Hopkins awarded him (he degree of
Doctor of Philosophy in June, 1021.
In 1017, Dr. Cross married Miss
Ollie de Board of Circleville, Kan.
Two years later, in January, he enlisted
in the United States Army, but
because of his special qualifications,
he was sent to the Johns Hopkins
Army Medical School to take part in
he investigation being conducted
Lhere, under the direction of the Surgeon
General of the Army, in the surgery
of the central nervous system.
Dr. Cross and his young wife came
o New York in April of last year,
iince then he had been making a
special study at the Rockefeller Institute
of the microbe that causes
/el low fever under Dr. Hideyo
^oguchi, the baceriologist and biologist,
who discovered it, there. This
jarticular organism displays unique
iharacteristics under the microscope
;o (hat, when it is positively identified
as being present in a patient, the
liagnosis of yellow fever is certain.
n
is a prescription for Colds,
vJUU Fever and LaGrippe. It's
he most speedy remedy we know.
