Today, as yesterday, most cult members went about their daily work, although some are spending their time fasting and praying. Their will be no pompous preparations ‘made for the coming of the end, Mrs. Joe Ga.amel, leader of the group, said. Mrs. Gammel said she did not: ex- pect the earth to be swept away to its doom “in the twinkling of an eye” but declared that midnight would mark the beginning of the end. It will take seven days, she said, for complete destruction. “At first,” Mrs. Gammel related, “Christ appéaring as a cloud in the sky, no larger than a man’s hand, witl begin his trip from Heaven to earth. It will require seven days for him to reach us, for he has stops to make on the way. One of these stops will be on a planet, not now visible to any earthly person. That afrangements will be made to feed those Saints whom Christ brings back to earth. The journey back will also take seven days.” Cult members’ homes are virtually stripped of furniture, only the bare necessities remaining, they having seld most everything to settle their worldly debts and be prepared for their accession.

CONKEY Tax Consultant There are two separate and dis tinct kinds of tax, the “normal tax and the “surtax.” Certain items of income are subject to the surtax only and certain exemptions from normal taxes are allowed, The’ sur- | | income without credits or exemptions, and for the purpose of computing the normal tax only, there is allowed the fol- lowing credits: 1. Dividends received from do- jmestic corporations, as these ure subject to the surtax only; 2..,Dividends received from for- eign corporations deriving more than upon United States 3. Any amount of interest obligations of the As previously explained all interest j upon obligations of the United States is free amounts in excess of exemptions al- lowed by, law are held the interest to the, surtax, and must be included in grpss income; 4, In the case of income received from a partnership or fiduciary, the taxpayer is entitled to the credits stated in subdivisions 1, 2 and 3 above, to the extent of his propor- interest received by the partnership or fiduciary; 5. $1000 in case of a single per- son, or $2500. in case of the head of a family or a married person living with husband or wife. If married persons file separate regurns the per- sonal exemption of $2! may be di- vided in any proportion desired; 6. $400 for each dependent (other than husband or wife) under 18 years of age, or incapable of self- support because mentally or physi- cally defective. The credit for de- pendents is determined by the status of the taxpayer on the lust day of Kis taxable year. Where the status of a taxpayer changes from that of a single person to a married person or the head of a family, or vice versa, during the taxable year, the, personal exemp- tion allowed is the sum of (a) an amount which bears the same ratio to $1000 as the number of months during which he was single bears to 12 months, plus (b) an amount which bears the same ratio to $2500 as the number of months during which he was married or the jhead of a fam- ily bears to 12 months. A fractional part of # month is disregarded, ex- cept where it amounts to more than half a month,,in which case it is considered one month. - Thus a single man who marries on June 20 would be entitled to per- sonal exemption of 6-12 or $1000 or $600, plus 6-12 of $2500 or $1250, a total of $1750. * The personal exemption and credit for:dependents in the case of an in- dividpal who dies during the taxable Year are-determined by his status at ihe time of his death; the surviving spouse, if any, also is entitled to the full, credits according to his or h tus. the Close of the taxable tax is computed upon the total net any deduction for jwhich is included in gross income. rom the normal tax, but if| upon such excess becomes subject tiomate share of such dividends or WHERE WILSON SLEEPS ident Wilson has just been placed in hington Cathedral.

Los Angeles, Feb. 6.—Finding of the shoe lost from the foot of little Nina Martin, 8, whose body, with at of her sister, May, 12, was dis- covered slain in a grave on Angelus Mesa Wednesday, lent new impetus to the tracking of the person or per- sons responsible for the kidnaping, maltreating and killing of the s ters, That the girls, who disappeared |from their home last August were held prisoner for some time, while a countrywide search was in pro- \gress and then later murdered and buried was the theory that was gain- ing ground with the officers work- jing on the case. It was pointed out that seurching SOF cont ar thelr gross income] parties last summer traverse1 sev- ie sources within the United cra) times the territory where the ates; bodies were uncovered. This, officers declared, would in- | dicate that the bodies were not there jat that time, but had been carried there later.

Mrs, Martin (now Mrs. Paul Buus) cbtained a divorce from Mr. Marti in 1917 on grounds of desertion. She lived with her babies, May and Nina at Fergus Falls for « time after the divorce and then lived for a while near Bismarck. Thence she moved to Los Angeles, according to the in- formation from Fergus Falls. Mr. Martin served overseas during the war.

Under the plan the legislature would be composed of 32 Senators and 67 Representatives. jome of those sponsoring the plan declare that if the redistricting plan is not enacted it will be submitted to the people ag an initiated measure. While Independents who have seen it, say that it is designed to give con- trol to the League, this is denied by the Nonpartisans. It is declared by Herman Hardt of Napoleon, who ori- ginated the plan, that it would re- district the state and give the west- ern part the recognition it deserv on a basis of population. There would be 32 legislative di tricts, the division to be as follows: No, 1, Pembina county, one Sena- ator, two representatives. No. 2, Walsh county, one senator, two representatives. 0. No. 3, Grand Forks county, one senator, three representatives, No, 4, Steele and Trail counties, one senator, two representatives. No. 5, Cass county, outside Fargo, one senator, two representatives. No. 6, city of Fargo, one senator, two representatives. No. 7, Richland county, one sena- tor, two representatives.

No, 21, McLean county, one sena- tor, two representatives. No. 22, McHenry county, one sena- tor, two representatives. No. Bottineau and Renville counties, one segator, two represen- tatives. No. 24, Ward county, one senator, three representatives. No. 26, Divide and Burke counties, one senator, two representatives. No. 26, Williams county, one sena- tor, two representatives. No. 27, McKenzie and Mountrail counties, one senator, two represen- tatives. : No, 28, Dunn, Mercer and Oliver, one senator, two representatives. No. 29, Morton county, one senator, two representatives. No. 30, Grant and Sioux counties, one senator, two representatives. No. 31, Stark: and Hettinger coun- ties, one senator, two representu- tives. No. 32, Golden Valley, Billings, Slope, Bowman counties, one senator, two representatives. It is possible a change will be of- fered to increase the number “of senators to 33, an odd number, to avoid ties in voting. The basis of apportionment is one senator for 20,000. population and one represen- tative for 10,000 population or ma- jor portion.

The light reflection revealed, “two streams of tears on the watchers’ face but they were never brushed away,” says copyright story to the Courier-Jour- nal from Cave City today. “This silent observer was Alma Clark, living eight miles from Cave City, come to mourn on what was to have been her wedding day and for him who was to have been her husband. Alone she stood as scores of workmen exerted _them- selves to force through rock and earth into the cavern. “Around her many were talking, calling to one another and some were laughing. ‘They didn’t know, they didn’t even sce this figure, nor did she seem to see them, She held her eyes on the new made shaft.-She turned, finally, and in a moment was lost in the darkness.” “Her tears, her expression and her walk told plainly that her hopes were no more, that she feels the cave which Floyd Collins set out to ex- plore will not release its grip until he dies. “Floyd Collins and Miss Alma Clark were to have eloped today but only a few of their friends knew their secret. It was said that ob- jections to the marriage had been made and that,the elopement was planned as a means of overcoming it, and this may be why Floyd Collins wouldn't give up his fight for life. It may explain why Collins kept courage when rescuers und friends were downcast. It may reveal how Collins endured torture with a smile at times through six days in the grip of a stone in the cave and it may show the power that kept alive that spark of faith he cherished.” U.S. QUITS OPIUM PARLEY | Coolidge O.

The AUTHORIZED BY COOLIDGE Washington, Feb, 6.--(By the A. P.)—Withdrawal of the American lelegation from the Geneva opium conference was authorized by Presi- dent Coolidge.

A long day of digging was ahead of them and whether Collins was dead or alive none has known def- initely, since a cave jnight blocked the pa he has been lying, pinioned by one jfoot, for one week. The general belief was that he has Isuccumbed, by being crushed to |death or by suffocation, or by pneu- ! monia. i Radio Used ! Karly today, however, radio was resorted to in hope the cave could give up its secret. A two stage jaudio frequency amplifier was con inected in the lighting circuit lead- jing into the cave and known to be intact. The lights were turned off and with headsets clamped to their ears, the experimenters listened for any 8) that might be interpreted as coming from Collins. After the test men said they heard distinct ‘sounds, believed by them to have been caused by the jarring of the jcarbon filaments in the electric light bulb fastened about Collins’ neck. Tt was thought, that if alive, Col- lins had probably moved when the light went out, thus shaking the ifilaments. On the other hand, it vas pointed out that other noises might have caused the sound heard in the head sets. Thus, nothing definite was determined. The work on the new shaft was ‘begun yesterday and early toda hole 10 feet deep had been made. The work was slowed up by the nec- essity of timbering the shaft, as it deepened. It has been estimated jthat Collins is lying 55 feet below |the surface. Estima as to the time it will take to sink the shaft, vary from 24 to 72 hours. Light Burns That the -elddtric light bulb. placed around Collins’ neck Wed- nesday is still burning is taken as an indication that the cave-in had not reached the prisoner’s head. Any strong pressure would crush the globe and thus break the circuit, it was pointed out. Geologists today expressed the opinion that Collins is under two large boulders which are believed to be lying against each other, \forming the protective arch.

Lincoln Denies Any Murder Geneva, Il, Feb. 6.—Warren Lin- coln, the lawyer-florist of Aurora, took the witness stand recently in the trial for the murder of his wife, Lina, and her brother, Byron Shoup, and denied the confession he once made that he killed the two January 10, 1923, and burned their bodies in the furnace except for the heads, which he cut off and sealed in ce- ment. The block containing the heads was found January 26, 1924, at a cump in Aurora, after Lincoln had directed the search for the crypt. An astounded jury and court room listened to Lincoln's denial “that he had’ ever killed anyone at any time cr any place.” INCREASE IN TAX URGED If the cigarette repeal and license measures come up today, as expect- ed, Rep.

Nonpartisan members, after cau- cuses last night and this morning, appeared to be ready to reject any proposal of Independents for amend- ment of the House measure providing for repeal of the law providing a board of managers for the state mill and elevator and substituting the power of the Governor. They also do not agree to plans proposed for financing of the mill by a direct appropriation of $300,000 or more. The proposal for an appropriation to provide working capital for the mill, by appropriation, in addition to the power now existing to issue $500,000 milling bonds against wheat and flour, is not opposed by Inde- pendents, but some Nonpartisans believe that the financing should come from the Bank of North Dako- ta, which, they say, has ample funds to tide the mill over until it can be made a success. The Nonpartisans have been mak- ing an effort to reduce appropri tions and they do not look with fav- or on adding $300,000 more to them. There also is the possibility that appropriations may exceed the con- stitutional tax limitation and force a raise in assessed valuation in the state. School ‘Transportation Nonpartisans, in their caucus last night and this morning, also consid- ered the subject of rural school transportation and the zoning of the state for making of hail insurance rates. The bill now pending in the house providing for a reduction in the school transportation furnished or amounts paid parents, will not be made the subjéct of caucus action, it was decided, Hail insurance discussed at a lengthy caucus morning, but no agreement wes reached on the question of zoning. The insurance committee had voted, 7 to 5, to support the plan of the state hail insurance department, but the report has not been submitted to the legislature. Terminal Market Bill In The second bill in the Sorlie mill Program was introduced in the House of Representatives late yesterday, a bill providing for establishment of the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks as a public terminal grain ele- vator. The bill was introduced by Rep. Vogel. The measure follow: “The state-owned mill and eleva- tor, located at or near the city of Grand Forks, North Dakota, is hereby declared to be a public ter- minal grain elevator and subject to regulation as such. “The Board of Railroad Commi sioners is hereby authorized, em- powered and directed to determine and fix intrastate rates for the transportation of all grain and grain products moving to or from such Public Terminal Grain Elevator within the state of North Dakota as defined in this act. All such rates shall be just and reasonable, and made with a view of recognizing such Public Terminal Grain Elevator as a Public Terminal Market. No rates shall be established until after no- ice has been given and an opportun- ity afforded all interested parties to appear and be heard. “An emergency hereby declared to exist and this act shall take ef- fect and be in force from and after its passage and approval.’ Would Pass It Unchanged In view of the attitude of many Nonpartisans, who believe that the bill providing for the repeal of the board of managers provision should pass unchanged, and are oppostd to any appropriation for financing the state mill and elevator, Governor Sorlie indicated to callers this aft- ernoon that he favored passage of the bill unchanged and the giving of a guarantee by the Independent’ ma- jority on the Industrial Commission that adequate finances would be pro- vided for the state elevator and mill at Grand Forks. : The Governor has declared he is willing to assume all responsibility for the mill management, however, he wants to know that he will be able to finance the mill and get loans from the Bank of North Da- kota. Independents have been uh- willing to make ‘any blanket promise. “In view of the action of the League caucus, in opposing amendment to the bill, it is probable that some new method of agreement will be sought with respect to finanting the mill.
