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. wife of Howell Berg, a railway brake man. 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.

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.

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.” Selected as Minister to Albania.
