TAX ADVISOR FRAUD WILL BE PROSED BY U.S.

Illegal Practice is Reported Over Country Private Advisors Reaped Harvest. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C, March 22. Fraud or misrepresentation by private Income tax "advisers' In many cities has been reported by revenue officers, it was learned today, and investigations are to bo made by United States attorneys. Prosecutions are probable in a number of cases. "Private tax advisers" reaped a harvest last week, according to the reports, during the rush of citizens to file their income returns. The advisers opened offices and by advertising drew thousands of persons to them. Revenue officials charge that many of them were guilty of illegal practices In leading citizens to believe that their offices were branches of the Revenue Collectors' organizations and in aiding tax-payers In making out false or misleading returns. Practice Widespread. Revenue Bureau officials said today their reports indicated the practice was widespread, although they had not yet compiled a list of cities from which reports came, to be referred to the Department of Justice. Officials also explained that the criticism did not refer to banks and reputable business institutions, which gave great aid to the revenue authorities in spreading correct Information on the tax system. To make repetition of this condition Impossible next year Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper plans to build up an organization of thousands of volunteers to be given class instruction on tax regulations for diseeminatlon to taxpayers. , Cambridge City, Ind.

Ashe Talks Contract With

Oxford City Officials OXFORD, O., March 22. Robert S. Ashe, of Richmond, was here yesterday in conference with Mayor Hughes, members of council, and Engineer Fred Froehllch, of Toledo, regarding Ashe's bid and hla proposed contract for furnishing Oxford with electric current. The bid called for eighteen mills for the first 15,000 K. W. II. of electric energy; the contract submitted called for 6 cents for the first 1,000 K, W. H., and 18 mills for the Lnext 14,000 K. W. H. Ashe explained that owing to an Indiana law, to which his attention was called by his attorney after his bid bid had been submitted, it was necessary for him to make the change In price, but that a matter of rebates would equalize the question. Ashe and Engineer Froehllch went over the terms of the proposed contract from a technical standpoint, and a perfect understanding seemed to exist at the conclusion of the conference. It was left to the engineer to draw up a new contract, which will be submitted shortly. In the matter of Ashe giving a bond to provide for the faithful performance of his contract, Engineer Froehllch said he did not think a bond would be necessary, as Ashe would be at an expense of $15,000 to $20,000 to get his current into Oxford. In the meantime, it is understood that the Middletown Gas & Electric company, the headquarters of which Is really in Chacago, has its eyes on the Oxford business, and is willing to purchase the local plant. It has been unofficially stated hat the company will pay as much as $40,000 for the plant. Engineer Froehllch will be in Chicago next week, and will take up the matter with officials of the company.

High Boiler Efficiency Fourth Vein Coal is admittedly the most efficient steam coal in the West. As against the best grade of West Virginia coal, it figures a saving of from thirty-five cents to seventy-five cents per ton on the basis of pounds of steam produced per ton. The variation is due to the difference in freight at different points in this zone. In two such widely separated points as Ft. Wayne, Ind. and Brazil, Ind., for instance, manufacturers find Fourth Vein the most profitable and most satisfactory coal to use. It is low in sulphur, burns freely with a long flame, burns to a light clean ash, and makes no clinkers. The same considerations that have induced The Rub-No-More Company and the Brazil Hollow Brick & Tile Company to use Fourth Vein Coal should lead you to, give it a trial. A trial is always convincing.
