Gary. Ind., May 4.—The mystery) sur
rounding the death of a young woman
whose partly burned body was found a
week ago in the Indiana Dunes, near
Chesterton, appeared to be disintegrat
ing today with the identification of the
torso by a girl friend.
Florence Kish Voto said the body was
that of Mrs. Josephine Deaidcrio, 21, of
Gary. This corroborated the identifica
tion by Mrs. Desiderio’s mother. Miss
Voto said she had been with Mrs. De
siderio the day before the murder. Missl
Voto was arrested yesterday at South
Bend and was said by the police to have
been preparing to flee to Detroit.
One of the strongest points in Miss
Voto’s identification, according to police
opinion, was the pointing out of a bit of |
cloth found nearby the body, as part of
a petticoat she had lent Mrs. Desiderio.
Mrs. Artie L. Hossler, of Michigan
City, however, was as equally positive in
identifying the body last night as that
of her. daughter. Mrs. Mary Bcrgg. 22.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS
MAY BE SEALED DOWN
It is Indicated Now That a Cut of $738,-
338 May Have to Be Made.
Raleigh. May 2.—As director of the
budget, under the executive budget act
passed by the 1025 general assembly, it
may be necessary for Governor McLean
to scale appropriations to the state de
partments. institutions and ageucies
$738,338 during the fiscal years of 1025-
1926. which will begin on July 1, 1925.
The law neither contemplated nor
authorizes any cut in appropriations
voted by the general assembly where the
revenue raised by the state is sufficient
to meet them. However, where the reve
nue is not sufficient, it directs the gov
ernor. as director of the budget, to
scale the appropriations to fit the reve
nues collected using a pro rata basis.
The governor today expressed the
hope that, through sonje unforeseen
good fortune, it would not be necessary
to make any cuts. Yet. lie said he must
be prepared to meet whatever emergency
might exist when the new appropria
tions are drawn Upon and that. also, he
must carry out ‘the provisions of the
law, which provides for a strictly
“ba’anced budget.”
Hence. Governor McLean has sent to
every department, institutional and
agency head in the state government, a
call for accurate estimates of funds,
railing their attention to the fact that
the general assembly appropriated $12.-
083,678 to take care of departments, in
stitutions and agencies for the fiscal
year of 1025-1026 while the revenue and
other income is estimated at only $12,-
245.340, which, if correct, creates a
prospective debit balance, or difference,
of $738,338.
The total appropriations for the fiscal
year of 1026-1027 were fixed at $13.-
374.206 andthe revenue and income were
estimated at $12,245,340. leaving a pros
pective debit balance for the year of
$1,128,866-
However, next year is not what is
giving the governor immediate concern.
He has expresscxl the hope that the re
venues next year would be greater. Also,
he hoi>es this year’s figures will climb.
But, under the law he must be pre
pared.
Boy Killed Beneath a Three-Ton Truck
Mooresville, May 2. —Paul, the three
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Gartha
Overcash. was instantly killed about 10
o’clock Thursday when the little fel
low stubbed his toe and fell beneath tl.e
rear wheel of a three-ton truck. The
unfortunate affair occurred in the front
of his home on North Church street in
the presence of a number of other lit
tle. children. Clyde Sherrill. mechanic
for the Birdsall-Smith Motor company,
had put new bearings in the truck and
was attempting to start it after it had
choked. A number of children gathered
about the truck in the street. Mr.
Sherril warned the children to remain
away from the truck, but Paul was
obstinate, and having witnessed others
pushing the big machine, he was deter
mined to assist. When the truck started
the hoy fell with his head under the
wheel, which crushed his skull.

INTO CUSTODY
In Addition to This Case
There Is Another Against
Means Changing Conspir
acy Against’ Government,
——. ■ Hi"
New York, May 4% —The conviction of
Gaston B. Means, former Department of
Justice agent,- by a ‘jjury last July on a
charge of having conspired to illegally 1
remove liquor from,* bonded warehouse,
today was confirmed,'by the I'. S, Cir
cuit Court of Appeals:
Means, who had been on bail, was or
dered taken into custody that he might
begin the two year term in the Federal
penitentiary in Atlanta. A SIO,OOO
line also was imposes.
Means alsq was cohvicted in a Federal |
court last January 9f having conspired i
with Thos. B. Felder, an attorney, to
bribe government officials including for
mer Attorney General Daugherty, to call
off prosecution of a large number of de
fendants in a .stock sale muil fraud case.
On this conviction Means was sentenc
ed to serve an additional two years in
Atlanta and pay another SIO,OOO fine.
Felder received no jail term but was fin
ed SIO,OOO. Both convictions in this
case are now on appeal.
Elmer W. Jarnccke, former secretary
to Means, was convicted with him in the
liquor conspiracy case, and was a witness
against his former employers in the brib
ery conspiracy case.
Jarnecke. who had appealed his convic
tion, later withdrew it after he became
a government witness. He pleaded guilty
on the bribe conspiracy tadictment against
him before Means and Felder went to
trial.
Means, Felder and Jarnecke in the brib
ery case were charged with having induc
ed a number of defendants to pay them
$65,000 on their representations that
they would use th* f money to bribe high
government olf prosecu
tions. The stock scheme defendants were
charged with having defrauded investors
in stocks of the Oragor System and the
Glass Gasket Go., of Altoona. Pa.
INCOME TAX CUT OF 12
PER CENT IS FORECAST
Proposed Reduction Would Affect Earn
ings of $25,000 to $200,000 a Year.
Washington. May 4.—Unofficial esti
mates by Treasury officials indicate that
a 12 per cent reduction in income taxes
may be possible as the first step in lift
ing the Federal tax burden.
This figure, while calculated without
intention to commit Secretary Mellon
to any policy, was suggested today on
the basis ofan incomplete analysis of re
turns on income taxes under the present
law, as shown in the March or first
quarterly instalment.
It would hear out previous estimates
that another $200,000,000 total re
duction could be made, effective on
taxes paid in 1026,
Present indications are that the
Treasury will avoid making any definite
proposal to the next Congress, when it
is expected the tax question again will
be alive. While Mr. Mellon has made no
direct statement on ’ the subject, most
of his advisers favor keeping the
Treasury out of the fight.
President Is a Participant in Flagrant
Misuse of the Flag.
New York. V av 3 - — Tho T TnitC(l States
flag association announced today that a
flagrant misuse of the flag in which
President Coolidge was an inadvertent

the baseball season in Washington, when
the box he occupied was draped 'with
a flag “in a manner contrary to accepted
standards.” ’ President Coolidge is hon
orary president of the association.
The flag code of the United States,
it was pointed out. prohibits a fancy
drapping of the flag on any occasion,
specifying that it should hang unfurled
with the stars to the observer’s left.

MINISTER SHOWED
HIMSELF ATHLETE
Goldsboro Clergyman Defends Himself
Against Threatened Attacks.
Goldsboro. April 29. —Rev. J. M.
Daniels, pastor of the St. Paul Metho
dist Church here, proved himself as much
of an athlete as a minister when I. Har
ris, well known citizen of this city, ad
vanced upon him with an open knife in
his hand and a threatening look on his
face, the result of a collision of the au
tomobiles of the two men.
According to reports, Mr. Daniels was
driving up Walnut Street with his little
son and when in front of Harris’ shop
endeavored to get out of the way of the
other car which was backing out from
the surbing. The wheels of the Daniels
machine caught in the car tracks caus
ing the car to swerve into the other and
the Daniels child was thrown out in the
collision.
"When Mr. Daniels dashed to see if
the child had been hurt, Harris advanced
on him with a drawn knife and making
threatening remarks, but the minister
who is a splendid type of physical man
hood, caught the band in mid-air and
held it until Harris’ son. who was near
the scene, quieted Ids father.
Mr. Harris is well known and esteemed
here and his hasty action was the result
of much comment here but lie was pro
foundly sorry after the affair was over.

North Carolina People Paying Heavier
Postage.
Washington. May 3.—The old saying
that a person cannot eat his cake and
have it too is coming home to a lot of
North Carolina people who are having
to pay more postage under the new
compensation act-
A High Point man complained to
Senator Overman that he had to add
four cents to two he had already put on
a newspaper he was forwarding to a
friend. Senator took the mat
ter up with Postmaster General New,
who explained thus:
“With respect to the postage charge
able on the newspaper referred to. I
have to say that under the new law. act
of February 28, 1925. the rate of post
age of publications entered as second
class matter, when mailed by others
than the publishers or registered new
agents, for weight not exceeding eight
ounces, is two cents for each two ounces
or fraction thereof. Since the newspaper
referred to weighed three ounces, it
was. if it bore no unauthorized written
matter, properly subject to four cpnts
postage. As but two cents postage was
prepaid, it was chargeable with two
cents postage due, but an error was
made in charging it with four cents. If
the newspaper bore any unauthorized
writing it was subject to the letter rate
of postage, and as it weighed three
ounces the postage would be six cents,
etc.”
