Harold Gilpatric took advantage of his position as state treasurer with. in elght months of his installation in 1019, are under investigation by au- ditors in the employ of creditors of the First National bank of Putnam. 1t is learned that $135,000 was In- volved in & bond purchase of Aug- ust, 1019, and that Gllpatric used the funds over a considerable pe- riod for his own purposes before dellvering the bonds, Stmilar Transaction The transaction {s sald to have been similar in many respects to that of February, 1821, when Gil- patric, suddenly aware that he was being watched by the then Govern- or Lake, i3 alleged to have stolen about $169,000 from funds at his disposal as cashier of the First Na- tional bank of Putnam to pay for honds that he had to deliver to the state treasury within 48 hours or stand exposed. Declde on Probe Declslons to procesd to a careful investigation of Liberty Bond tran- sactions carried on by Gilpatric dur- ing the entire period of his admin- istration as state treasurer, was made at a conference yesterday by Governor Trumbull, State Treasurer The action of State Treasurer Rog- ers a week ago in halting an inves- tigation of treasury securities by the accounting firm of Hadfield, Roth- well and Soule of thls city, was ap- proved and an agreement reached to discontinue that investigation.

WAR ON SELLING LEGAL ALCOHOL Chemists Trying to Make Sub- stance Non-Drinkable Washington, Oct. 30 (#)—Chemists in the bureal of internal revenue have been experimenting for many months to find some substance which, it put into commercial alco- hol, will prevent its being used for beverage purposes when diverted into the hands of bootleggers. Quinine and-ofher chemicals have been used, but it has been a puzzle to get a specific that cannot be taken out by chemical processes. Patent medicine manufacturers utilizing alcobol in thelr wares are required to submit samples to the internal revenue bureau, where and ‘chemists ascertaln if the products might be used for beverage pur- poses because of the alcohol that is in them. If the medicines might become available as passablo sub- etitutes for whiskey or wine, the government disallows the applica- tion. Inspectors tn' the fleld fol- low up the chem!sts’ test by an in- spection of the physical properties of the plant to see that the manu- cturer has the apparatus to turn t the quantity of product he in- ends and to insure that no alcohol might get into bootleg channels.

The committee, which will start work in drafting a tax reduction bill next Wednesday, heard endorsement for such reductions yesterday from Pofessor Adams of Yale University, who advised with the treasury in the framing of the first income tax law. Secretary Mellon has asked reduc. tlon of the maximum surtax rate from forty to twenty per cent and repeal of the inheritance levy. Many committee members, both republi- cang ang democrats, have expressed favor toward cutting the surtax to 25 per cent and possibly to 20 per cent. 4 Argument of the treasury secre- tary that the inheritance tax should be repealed and left entirely to the states finds opposition in both hands however, chiefly because loophole for evasion offered in the fact that Florida and Alabania have no such tax. At the same time, pro- posals for reduction of the present rates, with a masimum of 40 per cent, and for increasing the credit allowed for payments on state In- heritance taxes have found distinct favor among committee members. Proposals for reduction or repeal of the alcohol tax, which were op- posed yesterday by the American Drug Manufacturers assoclation con- tinued as the subject of discussion today at the committee hearings. Repeal of the levy was urged by Engene C. Brockmeyer, representing the National Assoclation of Retail Druggists, In presenting a states ment prepared by Frank T. Stone, its president. “It would not only redound to the benefit of the consuming public as well as pharmacy in all its branches” he sald, “but it would serve to en- courage retafl drugglsts to return fo SATURDAY SPECIALS— GIFTWARE Postoria Goblets, in amber, blue and green, 29c each, or dozen Highest Quality Irvidescent Goblets or Sherbets. saturday ouly, each . “Fostoria” etched stemware, Goblets, Sherbets, Saturday onl 23-Piece Tea Scts—$§13. pattern, Cocktalls. saturday only ATIONERY 200 Boxes of High Grade Stationery, .00, Iy soiled.
