W. W. Bullen of Fairview cemetery, the cemetery which is now in its 170th | year of existence shows 15,082 as a tory. | The first vear of Its existence, | 1756, two persons were buried there. | The following year five were buried | | there and it was six years before | that number increased. In 1761 and | 1767 not a single burial was made in | the historic cemetery. The records show ap increase dur- |ing the Revolutionary"War when in 1776 there were 31, in 1777, there| were 15 and in 1780 there were 14.) During the. Civii War period the percentage remained the same as peace times with the exception of 1563 when an increase of approxi- mately 50 was noted. The record year in the history of he cemetery was in 1918, the year the influenza, when 472 burials were made during the year. Accord-; ing to Col Bullen's records, the| number of burials in Fairview ceme- tery has been decreasing in the past | few years. With the exception of | the World War years the number has been below §00.

Cannon’s wonted path in life, today was his way in death. Where half a century ago it had led to the nation's capitol and the beginning of a remarkable career in | the halls of state.

The 15 per cent minimum credit 000,000 for this fiscal year. First | estimates made by the president in- | dicate a surplus of $200,000,000 and on that ground he proposed a 10 per cent credit which later was boosted to 12 1-2 per cent. There were definite indications shed there it congress turned down the: proposed credit plan, threats against which have been seen in some of the con- proposals to the plan to give a credit on next year's income levies as & means of returning to the taxpayers the prospective surplus. Some suggested that the credit be given on the excise and corporation taxes alone; others that the surplus be divided In greater proportion among the individual income tax- payers so that those who pay amall levies would get greater credit; and some proposed that the entire sur- plus be applied to retirement of the debt. Mr. Mellon replied he didn't feel it would be fair to take the surplus created largely by income taxpayers and apply it on reduction of the | excise taxes, including the automo- bile and admission dues. It would be difficult also, he said, to give the smaller taxpayers greater credit be- | cause their payments now were 8¢ small. This plan he added, also would be prejudicial to the other | taxpayers. The secretary did not deny, how- {ever, that he would just as soon use |the surplus tovard retirement of the | public debt, but added that the debt, | which now stands at about $19,600,- 1000,000, would be cut by well over $500,000,000 this year and he con- of the today at the treasury, however, that |gidered this sufficient. | no tears would be | Permanent Cut Unwise | With a surplus of more than $300, 000,000 in sight for this year and business conditions continuing sound, ernment of the United States, as the | flicting views expressed by leaders, g M eTS, |the suggestion was offered that it representative of President Coolidge.

COP-CANDIDATE ELUDES CAPTORS Mahan Back in Lowell lor Evening Rally Lowell, Mass.,, Nov. 16 (/ — The mysterious kidnapping of John Ma- han, policeman-candidate for mayor, had not wholly been cleared up to- day when citizens of this city went to the polls to register their choice from a fleld of 10 aspirants for the office. Mahan, who was whisked from his home by four armed and masked men early vesterday, eluded his cap- tors who imprisoned him in a house in Providen e, R. I, and was back in tim~ for a last minute election rally last nigh’ but authorities were admittedly vague regarding some of the circumstances of the abduction and the city heard many conflicting explanations. The policeman, whose ability as an enforcer of the law has earped him the sobriquet of “the fighting bootleggers and grafters leading Is- sues of his campaign, stuck to his story. He told of being dragged from his apartmegt and carried away in a closed automobile to the Rhode Island city vhere he escaped when a lone s atinel 1 ¢nt to lunch. He exhibited a black eye to prove his contention and appeared pale and il In addition he had lost $138 which cop” and who had made attacks on | he had intend:d for eleventh hour advertisements in Lowell news- papers. While friends ttributed the kid- napping to arouse enmity of organ- ized law-br kers. his opponents ri- diculed the story and expressed the belief that the job was engineered by the policeman's friends as a bid for sympathy. They hinted Mahan himself might have been an active co-operator. An added element of mystery was injected with a rcport from Provi- dence thai police headquarters there had recelved no request for assist- ance in probing the abduction. At last night rally, which in ac- cordance with an old custom here, was an open forum and addressed by all the cardidates, Mahan made no mention of the events of the day, but confined himself to previously discussed issues. DIAMOND DEALER ROBBED OF GEMS $200,000 in Stones Taken From Man at Minneapolis Minneapolis, Nov. 16.—/)—David Davis, dlamond merchant of Pitts- burgh, Pa. reported to police last night that he had been taken from a Twin Cities motor bus in St. Paul, driven in an automobile to Minne- apolis, and robbed of $200,000 worth of unset stones. Two lone passengers on the bus, which Davis boarded at St. Paul hotel, poked guns into his ribs after they had travelled several miles, Davls related. They ordered him to alight without making an outery. The bus driver falled to notice anything unusual when the trio got off. An automobile, which apparent- 1y had been following drew up and Davis said he was shoved into it. The robbers then took the bag con- taining the gems which had been suspended under his arm. After he had been thrown from the car in a residential section here, Davis notified police. Davis sald he arrived here Sunday and spent to- day in St. Paul, calling on .custom- ers. “Helped My Boy” —a Mother Writes ““Our eldest son, aged eleven, was troubled with persistent constipae tion until we began giving him Dr.TruesElixir A very few doses righted him.
