The utmost estimate, based on the evidence of the disintegration of radio-active minerals, presented in the National Research ! Council report on the age of the earth, is only 2,000,000,000 Years. But, it is p ed ocut, the earth must have exis Ld for long_ages between the time it was torn loose from the sun and the time when a hard crust was formed, which would leave geological evidence.

Green of Chicago to Atlanta to aid Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Hal Lindsay of the Northern District of Georgia in com- batting Capone’s bid for freedom.

Meanwhile the forthcoming church conference on prohibition will give birth to a dry movement fully equal to any in the past, Deets Pickett, research sec- retary of the Methodist Temperance Board, predicted yesterday in a letter to Re&esenunve Rainey of Illinois. ckett made the forecast in asking favorable consideration by the House of amendments to the Collier-Blaine beer bill by the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., January 25.— A treasure hunt in which the American Red Cross had the charts and did the digging today had netted some $6,000 in gold and currency from hiding places on the North Arkansas farm of R. F. Lelgh, aged recluse, who suffered tor- | ture and hanging rather than reveal his secret to any one else. The “treasure” was f ind yesterday on Leigh's hilly farm where his body | was found hanging from a rafter in his home, December 29. | The search, for which minute direc- tions had been left, was conducted by cfficials of the American Red Cross. A beneficiary of the Leigh estate. The di- rections were contained in a letter left by Leigh, to be mailed to the Red Cross in Washington after his death. Two youths, Jesse Hardester, 17, and Aaron Moody, 23, have confessed they killed the eccentric recluse in an effort Ito force him to reveal the hiding place of his money. He died with the secret left in the unopened letter and the youths found only a few dollars and an old watch. A year before his death, Leigh gave -to a neighbor, Edan Reews uo s»a]ed IS RECOVERED BY RED CROSS l)y Torture Rather Than Reveal Hiding Place of Coins. envelopes, one of which he was asked to send to the Red Cross in Washing- ton upon Leigh's death. Reeves was to open the other. Reeves' letter instructed him and an- other neighbor to stand guard over the Leigh home until Red Cross representa- | tives arrived. L. M. Mitchell of St. Louis, assistant | manager of the Midwestern area of the | Red Cross, came to investigate yester- dav and found the neighbors on guard. ‘The directions read: “Stand in the front of my house. Look just to the front post of the porch. Go about 50 yards, to a wall of rock. In it you will find two boxes with a few thousand dollars in currency.” Bills of large and small denomina- tions were revealed in the boxes. But the aged recluse had not hidden all his money in one place. His letter of directions continued: “Go into the rock house in the yard. Over the door is some rock laid on the plate. Take them all down. There you will find some currency, gold and a box of old and queer coins in it.” The treasure hunters found a con- | siderable number of gold coins and a | large coilection of old coins. The money | was brought here. CAPONE HENCHMAN GETS TAX REFUND . Nitto, or Nitti, Because of Over Assessment. By the Associated Press. One of Al Capone’s henchmen, Frank | Nitto, also known ss Frank Nitti, has | been given an income tex abatement of $285,723 by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The abatement involved an over as- sessment, of income tax pen:lties and interest, which never had been paid. ‘The bureau summarily assessed a de- ficiency tax and peralties against the | gangster, leased from prison, after they began to investigate his alleged failure to make income tax returns. The Board of Tax Appeals, acting on an appeal Nitto for a redetermination held that $244,618 of the amount assessed | was not justified and ordered it wiped | off the tax books.

The abatement was $157,893 for the deflckncy assessed Nitto on his 1925 income, $66.207 on his 1926 income lnd $61.622 on his 1927 income. While the amounts were assessed | against Nitto, they were never col- lected, and the abatement merely acts to wipe them off the tax books in ac- cordance with the decision of the board of tax appeals. There was nothing in the announcement to show how much tax and deficiency tax the Oovemmem had collected from Nitto.
