SATURDAY Y, MARCH 16, 1999 16, 1929 TREASURY SURPLUS. [1 Barwea EXPECTED AS CASH FLOWS DUE 70 TAX): Officials Optimistic That $518,- 000,000 Figure Will Be Exceeded Today | Burned Body of — Body of Dead Man Give: Brother Liberty d ‘Washin; , March 16.—(4)—Al- though they were unable to measure exactly the stream of income tax payments entering government cof- fers, treasury officials were optimistic today that the total for the quarter ended yesterday would exceed the $518,000,000 collected on the same Gate yesterday and point the way to ® treasury surplus for the year. The latest official record of the tax payments as made public today showed that the treasury had re- ceived at the close of business on March 14, $56,804,350 as against $51,- 419,431 on the same day last year. The statement for March 15—ordi- narily the largest single day of tax receiving in the year—will not be made up until later. Even that data however, may’ not give ground ‘for exact estimates of the government receipts, since the district collectors offices over the country, jammed as they are with business, will require several days to audit and return on all of their income tax receipts. . . If the rate to March 14 continues to guide the inflow for the balance of the month, the treasury may re- ceive for this quarter as much as $50,000,000 more than it received last year in the same quarter and will find its actual returns from income taxation this year considerably ahcad of_estimates. Revenues of the government in other branches are likewise running satisfactorily this month. Customs receipts are to date about $3,000,000 ahead of the same month last year, maintaining a trend shown for sever- al months, while the various internal revenue taxes such as that applying to tobacco, cigarettes, and other ar- ticles are doing about the same. WAGNER CONTINUES: CANDO, ENDERL ENDERIN PLAY FOR HONORS Enderlin, N. D.,, March 16.—(P)— The final act of North Dakota's 1929 basketball tourney, which will be closed tonight, will be a repeat per- formance of last year’s event, Cando and Enderlin meeting for the title as the result of wins this morning. Enderlin had little trouble in elim- inating Minnewaukan 32 to 15 behind the fine shooting of Peg O'Neil, who, single-handed, garnered 18 points. E. Wicken collected 10 for the losers. The Cando ‘victory was a certainty with Jack Thayer, Hankinson, out of the game with an injured leg after the first five minutes. ‘The winners’ counting was more or less of a family affair, with Cecil, George and Bill Williams counting 22 of Cando’s points. Minnewaukan and Hankinson will provide the cur- tain-raisers to the championship event. They will play a consolation game.

Many of the children were screaming to be taken out or for food and water. We gave them the latter in such quantities as possible but made no attempt to re- move them from the staunch struc- ture. Planes Hearten Marooned “Sight of the airplanes soaring over the stricken community, provisions, medical supplies and clothing was a welcome sight to the hours without nourishment and their | predicament was appalling. As the planes soared overhead volleys of shots could be heard in all sections of the city as persons attempted to at- tract the attention of aviators in their direction by firing pistols and shot- uns. “On the return trip I experienced my second boat ‘cracking up’ under me. We struck a submerged log and our hitherto sturdy craft sank like a rock. Fortunately it was one of the creeks instead of the river into which we found ourselves plunged. We swam across two creeks and then walked four miles in water waist deep to Windham’s mill where we were fed rations with refugees. “Most of our boats are gone. Na- tional guard officers said only four remain that will give good service.” Federal Generals Converge Fast on ° Key City, Torreon (Continued from page one) guns, and armored cars. The city, which derived its name “Torreon” or battle tower from its splendid nat- ural fortifications, was said to be in poor shape for defense from its at- tackers. See Chihuahua Retreat Possibility of retreat along the rail- road leading from the city north of Chihuahua was seen by the govern- ment, which regarded such retreat as the rebels’ only chance to evade crushing defeat at the hands of Gen- eral Calles. Some believed even that when federal troops arrived they would find it abandoned and would be able to occupy the city without even so much as a skirmish. General Calles himself was expect- ed to enter the battle later than Gen- erals Almazan, Saturnino Gedillo, and Lazaro Cardena, who were to begin it from the east. General Calles yes- terday established his headquarters at Durango City, which he occupied earlier in the day in another “blood- less battle.” Although sections of the 150 miles of railroad between Durango and Torreon were torn up by the rebels, it was said the highways had not been destroyed and prompt mov- ing into the encounter was expected. The rebel force occupying Durango left that city in full retreat over the spur northward out of the city to Tepehuanes, the line to Torreon hav- ing been cut by the federals. Rebel Band Left A report of General Calles to President Emilio Portes Gil said there was still a small army remaining in Durango, under General Eulalio Gu- tierrez (former provisional president) but that he hoped to vanquish it in a brief encounter. General Calles said he believed vic- tory of General Cedillo over a rebel band at Derramadero, between Saltil- lo and Torreon, day before yesterday, in which 50 rebels were killed and 105 captured, had frightened the garri- refugees.

The report of disease outbreak came from the national guard refugee camp on Big Creek, north of Elba. Measles broke out among refugee children and serum was given by Dr. T. R. Gill and Dr. A. H. Graham of the state health department. Steps were taken immediately to transfer the camp to Troy, where sanitary conditions were normal, and Dr. Gill set off by boat with serum to use on children in isolated refugee quarters along Big Creek. Meanwhile, Dr. H. C. McKinnon of Troy returned to the national guard base on Big Creek with reports that only four were known dead at Elba. Repairing Highways The state highway department to- day was repairing the road between Elba and Big Creek camp as fast as receding water permitted. Montgomery began to cope with her own flood problem and to rush aid to South Alabama. Four outlying sec- tions of the city were submerged by the mounting Alabama river last night and today, and scores of fam- ilies were carried to safety bv police. The river was expected to reach a crest of 55 feet or more late today. The Red Cross laid plans to send food for 1,000 persons to the refugee camp at Big Creek and Troy, as well as Enterprise, where 56 more Elba refugees were taken during the night.

Partridge and Ralph Judd of Birmingham, Ala. Commissioner Landis’ wholesale edict involves several of ihe leading first year men up for trial in major leagues. Both Wingard and Jonnard, with> the Milwaukee club of the American Associatio:: last séason, were rated as ready for big league competition. Jonnard played with the Browns three years ago but was released to Milwaukee. Wingard was also a former St. Louis Brown, going to Milwaukee .zhen the club was re- organized last year. In ruling Wingard a free agent, Commissioner Landis held that no right of return was stipulated when Milwaukee filed an agreement trans- ferring the pitcher to the athletics. An initial payment of $5,000 was made by Philadelphia to this check was never cashed by the American Association but was de- posited to the personal credit of the late President Killilea of Milwaukee, according to the findings of the com- missioner. In December Killilea re- funded the same amount by personal check to the order of Connie Meck of the Philadelphia club. Meanwhile Philadelphia sought to transfer Win- gard back to the American Associ- ation club but commissioner Landis withheld his approval, making an in- vestigation that brought out the fore- going facts. Jonnard was made a free agent on the grounds that in the Milwaukee- | ~ St. Louis relations the transfer of Jonnard to and his reservation by St. Louis was not genuine, since the St. Louis initial payment for the Milwaukee hurler was retained and undeposited by the Milwaukee club for two months and was refunded shortly afterwards. Commissioner Landis said that full details of the transaction were not fully and truth- fully reported within five days, as stipulated by the major-minor league rules. ‘Musical Collegians’ to Give Concert Here The “Musical Collegians” of Huron college, an organization of 20 young men, will give a concert here next Saturday evening, March 23, at the Presbyterian church.
