(By Ike MuHirlaiMt I’nu) ’ Gary, Ind., May 4.—Tin* mystery sur rounding the death of a young woman whose partly burned body was found a week ago in the Indiana Dunes. n£ar 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 Desiderio, 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. Miss 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 Bergg, 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. Raleigb, May 2.—As director of the i budget, under the executive budget act passed by the 1925 general assembly, it ’ may be necessary for Governor McLean to scale appropriations to the state tie- ' partments. institutions and agencies < $738,338 during the fiscal years of 1925- 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- i ntte is not sufficient, it directs the gov ernor. as director of the budget, to scale the appropriations to fit the reve nues collected twing a pro rata basis. The governor today expressed the hope that, through some unforeseen good fortune, it would not be necessary to make any cuts. Yet, he said be 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 "balanced budget.” Hence. Governor Me Is'an has sent to every department, institutional and agency head in the state government, a call for accurate estimates of funds, calling their attention to the fact that the general assembly appropriated $12,- 983.678 to take care of departments, in stitutions and agencies for the fiscal year of 1925-1926 while the revenue and other income is estimated at only $12,- 245.340, which, if correct, creaks a prospective debit balance, or difference, of $738338. The total appropriations for the fiscal year of 1926-1927 were fixed at $13,- 374,206 andthe revenue and income were estimated at $12.245340, 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 expressed the hope that the re venues next year would be greater. Also, he hopes this year’s figure* will climb. But, under the law he must be pre pared.

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 bas-is ofau incomplete analysis of re- 1 turns on income taxes under the present . latv, as shown in the March or first , quarterly instalment. It would bear out previous estimates that another $200,000,000 total re duction could be made, effective on taxes paid in 1926. Present indications are that the ( Treasury will avoid making any definite , proposal to the next Congress, when it is expected the tnx question again will 1 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.

Senator Overman took the mat ter up with Postmaster General New, who explained thus: 1 “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 n« 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 cents 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.” Position of the Los Angeles.
