Police Justice Barron yesterday morning imposed a sentence of six months On the "roads on M. p. Reel, a white man, arrested by Patrolman Poyner, charged with ssuaUing and beating his wife and dragging her about the house by her hair. ' The officer testified that he was passing Reel's home, .916 East Main street, when he heard a woman scream. Looting through the window, he saw Keel grab the woman by her hair and drag her from the front of the house all, the way back to the kitchen. He entered the house as quickly as he could and after intervening, asked Reel what he was doing. The latter replied that he was simply "playing" The woman showed an exceedingly black eye 'and her face was otherwise battered and bruised, so the officer advised her to swear out a warrant for her husband. The woman said that she was afraid of the man and that if she left the house to procure a warrant for hisar" rest, she was afraid he would kill her. Seeing that Mrs. Reel was really afraid of her husband, Officer Poyner ac companied her to police headquarters, where a warrant for the husband's arrest was sworn out. Reel was picked up a few minutes later and brought to the First Precinct Police Station. where he was locked up for the remaind er of the night. The woman told Justice Barron that her husband often beat her and that he had grabbed her by the hair last night, because he had come home late and she was a little slow about getting his supper ready for him.

I D ELIMI E Ways and Means Committee De vising Simple Means of . " Collecting It. WILk ENFORCE IT RIGIDLY Severe Punishment For Those Who Attempt To Mislead Gov ernment Agents. Washington, March 27. The Ways and Means Committee is working out the administrative features of the -Income Tax bill. The members: are striving to perfect a plan whereby the tax can be collected economically and without- difficulty. .Because of the peculiar nature of the assessment and the fact that it required individuals to divulge much of their private af fairs, the committee is trying to work out the simplest plan possible for the collection. The plan most acceptable to the members at present is to acquire each individaul who comes under the opera tion of the measure to make a sworn statement of his income and to pay his assessment upon this basis. Ex treme penalties will be provided for false or incomplete statements of in comes. Ihis drastic legislation pro viding for severe punishment for those who attempt to mislead the agents of the Government is expected to result in expediting the tax collection. The committee expects-to spend the next few days correcting small errors of all sorts that have crept into the voluminous tariff bills. The' committee has decided to leave to President Wilson the final decision on the question as to whether the bill shall be introduced as a single measure or by schedule. Those who favor the omnibus plan base their preference Oh the assumption that a single measure can be pushed through the House in short order, while a series of bills will require weeks. In opposition to this argument, the men who desire the bill sliced'up into schedules state that a single bill offers every opportunity for log-rolling in the Senate. Many bills, they say, will off set such log-rolling. President Wilson is expected to make a complete study of the bill within the next week, when he will return it to the committee. The president and Mr. Underwood talked the general scheme over last night and Mr. Wilson ' found it coincided with his theories of a Democratic scheme of tariff re vision. . When he returns it to the committee with his final O. K. Mr. Underwood is - expected to take the measure to the caucus as an Administration measure as much as a Ways and Means bill. With the assistance of the Preisdent's influence behind the bill members Of" the committee hope that it will weather ' the storm that protection Democrats are preapring for its destruction.
