Real estate agent, amateur detective, spy, novelist, explorer, goldhunter. speculator, Galmot also was a millionaire, owner of steamship lines, philanthropist, and ardent lover. He had loved Arlette Simon Stavisky too well for his own good. Life had been full of adventure for Jean Galmot, from the day of h.<> marriage, at St. Petersburg, to the daughter of an American consul. He dissipated his own and his wife's fortune in a ceaseless round of casinos, night clubs and race courses. His angry father-in-law sent him to Guiana to start life over again. Galmot Becomes Wealthy Galmot worked hard and was successful. He found mineral gold and liquid gold—he mined and he made rum. During the war he piled up millions, and he returned to Paris, housed his business offices in an entire building in the Champs Elvsees—and met, Stavisky. Bad days followed, although he had been elected to the chamber of rirputies from Guiana. He. fell in love with Arlette. M. Edmond Parhot, police commissioner. had been hot on the Stavisky trail. In 1926. Galmot told the commissioner where the swindler and his gang were hiding. ‘•Go to the Villa of the Angels (strange name for such an evil rendezvous) at No. 110 Rue Des Dames, in Marly-le-Roi," he said, “and you will find him.” Stavisky Vengeance “Why do you tell me this?’’ the commissioner asked. “Because I love Arlette Simon, and I want to take her away from that foreigner,” Galmot told him. The gang was rounded up, to Staviskys stupefaction. “Which of our gang is not here?” the swindler asked. “Ah. it is Galmot. He will pay for this. I will have his life, the pig.” Two years later, in far-away Guiana, Jean Galmot was seized with cramps at his palatial home. Taken to the hospital, he accused his cook. Adrienne, a buxom black, of having poisoned him with bouillon. Scandal Bares Poisoning On his death bed, having confessed to a priest. Galmot spent his last breath in a curse: “Ah. the pigs, the pigs! They got me.” The coroner sought to call the death a suicide. The court decided it was a “natural death.” Every one in Guina knew r Galmot had been executed, but it took six years to discover why. The long arm of Stavisky. reaching over the Atlantic, had paid plenty of gold for vengeance. Only when the Stavisky scandal broke over France like a political thunder storm, were some of the secret discoveries of the French police released —enough of them to know why Jean Galmot died.

GROSS INCOME TAX SCORED BY COAL DEALERS Levy Is Inequitable Burden Against Retailers, Say Merchants. Condemnation of the grass income tax law in its present form was offered today in a resolution adopted by the Indiana Coal Merchants' Association, assembled in the Claypool. On grounds that the income tax law is an unfair and inequitable burden against the retailing industry,” 300 members of the association passed on the resolution at the fourth annual convention of the organization. In his annual recommendation, Edward W. Kortv, Lafayette, president, stressed the necessity for a strong, well-organized coal merchants' association. Code authority does not assume the problems that the association must meet, he declared. At the organization banquet last night, S. B. Walker, director of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, was principal speaker, and Milton E. Robinson Jr., Chicago, a member of the National Code Authority, was toastmaster. Statistics show' that the increase in population in Indiana from 1910 to 1930 has been 50 per cent, while tax increase has been 350 per cent, Mr. Walker asserted. The per capita cost of state and local government in 1933 was $65.95,
