They checked up his record and said it disclosed that he had been arrested in New York, De- troit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St. Louls and Chicago, each time for purloin- ing pants. “There is nothing to apologize for in my career,” he was quoted as say- ing. “I invented it, and it gives me a living. Coats and vests? Phooey. ‘There’s no merket for them. But pants—half the world needs and must have them. You can sell ’em any- where.” Some one asked him if he would reform if he went to jail. “No,” he said. “I guess not. When I get out again I'll go back East and steal some pants.” Defective Ears Blamed. Defective ears are held to be respon- sible for nearly 600 fatal accidents in England last year. UMBER tions. J.

PITTSBURGH, February 33. — More incursions into the vast, com- plicated financial empire of Andrew W. Mellon are in prospect Monday at the resumption of the by the Board of Tax Appeals into his in- come tax affairs. 'ul}!l chief counsel, Frank J. Hogan, the financier never technically quali- fled to become Becretary of the Treas- ury because of his alleged stock hold- ings. Mellon himself is to be called as a witness before the end of the investi- gation, which is to determine whether he owes the Government $3,089,000 in back taxes or actually paid the Government $139,000 too much. The hearing may last from two to five more weeks. Secretary to Be Grilled Again. - Steeped in facts, figures and sta- tistics about the Mellon financial his- tory, Howard M. Johnson, Mellon’s confidential secretary, will face more cross-questioning Monday from Rob- ert Jackson, counsel for the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Johnson already has been on the witness stand three days. The hearing probably will be re- sumed with the Government seeking to elicit more figures to show that Mellon failed to dispose of his bank holdings before becoming head of the Treasury in 1921, and that he used a family corporation as a “dumping greund” for his holdings to escape taxes. Where no loss could be established through a sale, Jackson contends Mellon’s personal holdings were “dumped” into the Coalesced Co. as s gift. “Shuttle Route” Claimed. Where, as in the case of Pitts- burgh Cosl, stock had suffered losses in the 1929 stock market crash, the Government counsel contends Mellon took a “shuttle route” vis the Union Trust Co. Jackson has shown from Johnson’s testimony that in every instance where Mellon sold stock to Union Trust, and Coalesced later repurchased it, there was a loss which Mellon deducted from his 1931 income. Pursuing this, he has shown, too, that on the day before Mellon went into President Harding’s cabinet in 1921, he turned over several thousand shares of bank stocks, including 3,300 of Union Trust, to his brother, the late R. B. Mellon. Michigan Unit to Dance. ‘The Michigan State Democratic Club of the District will hold its sec- ond annual ball Thursday night in the Gold Room of the Hamilton Hotel.
