MALLON l ulled Pres* SUIT Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—President Hoover is opposed to the project now gaining momentum in congress for paying the World war veterans' insurance compensation in cash, it was learned here today. Mr. Hoover is preparing to move publicly to stifle the plan if it is advanced seriously by any substantial group in congress. /The stand reported to have been taken by the executive after a conference with Secretary of Treasury Mellon is that the existing condition of the treasury does not warrant any such additional strain being pieced upon it.

Champions of the plan have urged it as a means for putting more money in circulation and thereby increasing buying as well as affording financial relief to many veterans reported to be in distress.

511 HAVE INCOMES OF MILLION A YEAR

Boom 1928 Doubled U. S. Men in This Class, Figures Show. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Taxpayers in the million-dollar-a-year income class nearly doubled in 1928, increasing to a total of 511 as a result of booming stock market and business conditions in that year. Revised income statistics for 1928 issued today by the treasury revealed anew crop of super-million-aires was created in the last complete year of prosperity. In addition to those individuals who reported incomes of $1,000,000 or more in that single year, the treasury’s figures showed there were more than 43,000 persons with incomes in excess of $50,000, which is the usual interest on $1,000,000. Few of these taxpayers had sl,000,000 capital, however, but derived their income from wages and dividends. Most Millionaires in New York Most of the nation’s millionaires live in New York, which reported 243 taxpayers with incomes of more than $1,000,000. New York’s millionaire group included eleven who paid taxes on more than $5,000,000 in 1928. Illinois was second with fifty-four millionaires, Pennsylvania third with forty-one, Massachusetts next with twenty-four, and Ohio fifth with twenty-three. In all, twenty-six states reported taxpayers in this class. The gross income reported by the nation’s 4.000,000 taxpayers was $28,987,634,519, but deductions reduced the taxable income to $25,226.326,912. The largest share of this money was derived from wages and salaries which netted taxpayers $lO,862.000,000 of the total income. Many 53,000 to $5,000 Incomes Persons in the million-dollar-a-year cl&ss had total incomes of $1,108,000,000 or 4 per cent of the nation’s total. But paid $185,140,000 or 15 per cent of the taxes paid by individuals. Total income tax payments by individuals in 1928 were $1,164,254,037. The largest part of the income*

University Youth Held on Charge of Slaying Young Sweetheart. By United Press PORT ARTHUR, Tex., Dec. 29.—A Texas university sophomore whose efforts to mend a lover’s quarrel ended with the mysterious death of his 16-year-old sweetheart fras accused by her relatives today of having caused her death. “I want to go with her—oh, I want to go with her to the grave,” Robert L.

MINING GAMP RISES AT GOLD SITE OVER NIGHT Prospectors Rush to Spot in Nevada Desert to Find Fortunes. By United Press RABBIT HOLE, Nev„ Dec. 29. Far out on the lonely Nevada desert lands at a spot inhabited two weeks ago only by jackrabbits and antelope, today stands this new mining camp mushroomed into existence overnight by the magic cry of “Gold!” Lurid tales of high-grade ore assaying $45,000 to the ton attracted hundreds to the scene of the discovery made by two old prospectors, Charles and Jim Scossa. Within twenty-four hours claims were staked on a five-mile area surrounding the strike. Brothers Get Rich The fortunes of the brothers are already made, for the dump of ore of the mine assayed over - $lB6 per ton, without the high-grade. For thirty years, Charley Scossa, old-time desert rat and “pocket hunter” had dreamed of finding a bonanza in the wastelands of the Rabbit Hole district, and he never despaired he would eventually make the “big strike.” A fortune nearly was in his grip twenty-six years ago when he and his “pards.” Jerry Ingals, Bob Thomas and old Nigger Jim Brown, made a discovery on the Rose Bud district. But the desert swallowed him up again, for he yet was not satisfied he had found the mother lode. Miners Stake Claims This year he and his brother Jim disappeared once more into the wastelands of Rabbit Hole. One day not long ago they walked into the assay office at Lovelock with eight sacks of sample ore from their mine tucked under their arms. Before the left town, they had “confided” their discovery to another prospector, and by nightfall Lovelock was practically deserted, of every footloose man and miner in the community. All the old-timers came to the little camp. One of the first to stake his claim and shake hands with Scossa was old Nigger Jim Brown, who had discovered Rose Bud with Charley. Here came January Jones and Gurney Gorden of Goldfield:; fame, Joe Hall, Jim Gamier, and scores of others known to boomers all over the mining world.

Williams, is pastor of the Austin Methodist church, pleaded vain’.y to be allowed to attend the girl’s funeral Sunday. He told officers the quarrel started over another man, married but separated from his wife ; The Rev. Mr. Williams two years ago was pastor of the Methodist church in front of which Miss Johnson was slain.
