S. G. Cumming Shot by Wife; May Recover Brother of Surgeon General of the U. S. Was Sepa? rated From the Woman for More Than a Year He Tried to Get Divorce She Is Said to Have Boasted Her Husband Would Not Live to Marry Again Special Dispatch to The Tribune HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 8.?S. Gordon Cumming, fifty-one years old, former state Senator and a brother of Dr. Hugh Cumming, recently named Sur? geon General of the United States, was shot and seriously wounded oft the street here late yesterday by Mrs. Mittie Jester Cumming, his second wife, from whom he nas been sepa? rated for more than a year. Physicians said to-night, following an operation for the removal of two bullets, that there was somp chance of recovery. Mrs. Cumming wayiaid her husband at Hampton's busiest corner as he was walking homeward with a bottle of milk and an evening newspaper under his arm. She engaged him in conver? sation a moment. Mrs. Cumming then drew a revolver from her muff and ?red five times at close range. The first bullet entered Mr. Cumming's neck and penetrated a lung. The sec? ond passed through the abdomen. The other three shots went wild. , Passersby, including W. J. A. Cum? ming, a half-brother of the wounded man, picked him up and hurried him to a hospital, where he rallied after an operation. Mrs. Cumming was arrested. After the shooting she became hysterical and crumpled up in a nearby doorway. The police carried her to the police station. She cried incoherently all last night and to-day. Mrs. Cumming is ' thirty-two years old, the daughter of ! John Jester, of Fox Hill, Va. She and j Cumming were married about sixjrears ; ago. ? Cumming started divorce proceed- ? ings several years ago, soon after the j second marriage, and finally won a de- ! cree of separation. Mrs. Cumming ! carried her appeal to the State Su? preme Court, where it has been argued, : but no decision announced. Mrs. Cumming is said to ha^-e ?old acquaintances on different occasi ms, she did not have enough to live on and would see to it that Cumming did not marry again. Cumming's first wife, by whom ho had one child, was a Miss Waller, of Old Point Comfort. She divorced him ten years ago. Palmer Defends Action Of U. S. in Oil Land Cases Attorney General Says Pinchot's Protest Against Decision Is Cowardly WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.?Attorney General Palmer in a statement to-night defended the government's decision against carrying to the Supreme Court ?he Southern Pacific oil land cases, which decision has been the subject of protest by Gifford Pinchot in letters to Mr. Palmer and to President Wilson. Indisputable evidence, the Attorney General's statement asserts, was pre? sented in the trial of the oil cases in the lower court that at the time the tracts in question, which are located :n Southern California, were granted in 1892--97, the Southern Pacific Rail? road had no knowledge that the lands were oil bearing. Therefore, in the opinion of Mr. Palmer, granting of the lands, later four.d to contain oil, could not be held void on a charge of bad faith in their acquisition. "Nothing but the most perverted imagination," the statement continued, "could suggest any relation between some cases involving oil leases w,hich I tried some years ago in Oklahoma for Pennsylvania clients?small independ? ent oil producers?and this Southern Pacific litigation. Pinchot's studied ef? fort to create the impression that these cases are ?-imilar to the Southern Pa? cific litigation is cowardly, because he avoids a direct charge, and contempt? ible, because he seeks to create a false Impression." ? ?Wood Urges Patriotism In Tribute to Lincoln Soldier Emphasizes Martyred President's Work for Law and Order SPRINGFIELD, 111., Feb. 8.?Major General Leonard Wood, speaking to? day at a Lincoln memorial service, held at the State Arsenal, referred to the martyred President's stand for law and order and declared that there is no room in America for the unpatriotic. "We can best honor Lincoln by doing the things which are necessary to main? tain this country, which Lincoln Baved, by standing firm for law and order," sad General Wood. The general was the guest of Gov? ernor and Mrs. Frank O. Lowden at the flxecutive mansion during his visit here. The two candidates for the Presi? dential nomination on the Republican th?ket met on the platform at the arsenal and were cheered as they ex? changed greetings. .*Flu' and Bad Roads Will Cut Vote in Missouri Test ?Both Sides daim Victory in fa 3d Congress District Elec? tion Next Saturday Speeial Diepatch to The Tribune EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo.. Feb. 8.? Xnfluenza and bad roads will play s part in the 8d Congress District ?lection next Saturday. While out? wardly the campaign committees ol both parties appear confident of suc? cess, they admit privately th?. "flu'1 epidemic and muddy roads will cut down the vote. The influenza is mor? j prevelent In the northern Republican , counties, where in the last week the at* tendance at meetings bas fallen off to ( a marked degree. The Republicans believe the Demo? crats pulled a "boner" when they brought Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer to this district. Palmer, they say, won the animosity of the coal miners in the recent strike settlement, and there are several hundred miners in Ray and Clay counties, in this dis? trict. The Democrats?the more enthusi? astic supporters of Captain J. L. Mil ligan?say he will win by 2,800 ma? jority. The Republican? merely say that John E. Frost, their nominee, will win, but give no figures. Attorney General Palmer in a speech here last night called the proposed Re? publican reservations to the peace treaty "bunk," and added: "Why, President Wilson knows more about the Constitution, the laws of the land and its life in one day than these Senators will ever learn In a MeUme." Poindexter Denies He Will Support Harding Senator Declares He Still Is Candidate, Despite Report To the Contrary From The TribunV? Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 8?Against the denial of Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, candidate for the Repub? lican nomination for President, the Harding campaign headquarters here asserts that Senator Poindexter wiJl support Senator Harding for the nom? ination at the Republican National Con? vention. A statement from Harding headquar? ters gave Colonel Charles R. Forbes, of Washington, as authority for the prediction. Colonel Forbes was quoted as saying: "Washington, Oregon and California delegates at Chicago, in the last anal? ysis, will all be for Senator Warren G. Harding for the Republican nomi? nation for President. Senator Poindex? ter controls the delegation from Wash? ington and has the support of the state, as he should have, but when the time comes Senator Poindexter and his friends will support Senator Harding. Of this I am positive." Colonel Forbes, who won the Croix de Guerre with Palm, the Legion of ' Honor decoration and the Distin ? -"uished Service Medal of the United ! States, was chief signal officer with i General Hunter Liggett and later chief signal officer for the 33d Division. Senator Poindexter to-night emphat? ically denied the report adding he will continue to be a candidate. Newberry Trial Enters Its Third Week To-day Onlv Fif ty Witnesses Have Thus "Far Testified; 800 May Be Called GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.. Feb 8.?The j Newberry elections conspiracy trial will go into its third week in the j United States District Court here to- ! morrow. Thus far the speed schedule set for the prosecution by Frank C. Dailey, As- j sistant Attorney General, and his asso- i ciates has not been even approximated, ! The schedule called for an average of j twenty .witnesses a day. There have been four full court days devoted to witnesses since last Tuesday afternoon ! and only a few more than half a hun- ? dred men and women have occupied the stand. Perhaps 800 will be called for the prosecution and defense before the issue goes to the jury. The influenza epidemic throughout I l the country has had something to do with this. The government men could not say to-day what they have in pros- : pect for the coming week. They have let it be known only^that they will seek ? to connect up every one of the 135 in dieted men with some phase of the 1918 campaign, the organization and prosecution of which are alleged to have been a gigantic conspiracy to vio? late Federal laws and "purchase the United States Senatorship for. Truman , H. Newberry." D' Annunzio Lauds Japan, Calls West Degenerate Poet Who Recently Yearned for America Hails Far East as Hope of the Latins FIUME, Feb. 8.?Gabriele d'Annunzio, speaking at a banquet he had given in honor of the Japanese poet, Harukici Sciemoi, who is his guest, said: "We wish to pay homage to this inessenger of the rising sun, the envoy of that empire which every minute has awaited the whirr of my wings. More than once I have cried out: " 'Let us forget the West, which hates us and docs not want us. Let us turn our backs on the West, which every day debases itself more, infects : itself, dishonors itself in stubborn in i justice and obstinate slavery. Let us j separate ourselves from the degenerate ? West, which forgets the splendor of j spirit and has become an immense bank ' in the service of the ruthless trans I Atlantic plutocracy. From the Fiume ' of Italy, gate to the East, let us hail '? that Far East which for seven cen | turies has been joining slowly but surely the Latins.' " I Speaking recently on a visit he pro ! posed to make to America, Gabriele d'Annunzio said: "I yearn to reach America on wings. I will fly to America across the Pacific and land on your fair Pacific coast. When my task in Fiume is done and when Fiume is part of Italy's realm I am going to Tokio through the clouds. Then I will look across that vast expanse of the Pacific, lift myself from this earth and start toward your land, your free America, stepping from island to island." ?. Near East Relief Day Observed in Churches Appeals From Many Prominent Spiritual Leaders Issued in Behalf of Campaign As part of the nation-wide campaign for continued support for the stricken people of Armenia and the Near Ea^t, yesterday was observed as Near East Relief Day in a majority of the churches in the city. App'eals were made by the pastors and subscription blanks were distributed to the con? gregations by committees of laymen. Appeals from Cardinal Gibbons, Evangeline Booth, head of the Salva? tion Army; Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and many other spiritual leaders were issued. "Of all appeals," said Commander Booth, "few have more profoundly im? pressed me personally, and 1' hope and pray that a similar experience will be ' shared by a multitude more equal to an adequate response than we are." Cardinal Gibbons in his statement declared that in view of the desperate need it was imperative that all Chris? tian people, irrespective of creed, unite to contribute funds. The feeling of the constituent mem i bera of the Federal Council of Churches ; was voiced through its executive com ? mittee, which said: ' "We know of no need in this world ; more compelling than that of the Ar? menian people, who already have re ? ceived and etill must receive the gen 1 erous sympathy of the American i people." ' Shanghai Police Chief Here ' Irish Head of Chinese Force on Tour of United States Thomas Harrington, chief of police , of Shanghai, China, visited the West i 125th Street police station last night. He is touring the United States on a seven months' leave of absence. Har? rington, who hails from Dublin, haB headed the Shanghai force since 1905.

F. K.: Will tiou kindly advine if all or which of the following items are de? ductible in filling out the Federal tax return of an individual whose income is derived from salary and dividend? : Local (home) real estate tar, local (per? sonal property) tar, New York tit ata (non? resident) income tar, state automobile regis? tration. Hate automobile driver'? license, and war lax included in price of automobile. Also the following deductions: Church. Masonic war and relief fund, Elke' Christmas charitu fund, local (town) war chest fund, 1919; Salvation Army, Red Cross, United Hospital Fund, French Heroes' Lafayette Fund, Roosevelt Memorial Fund and Don Scouts drive. A.?Your persona! property tax in de? ductible; also your real estate tax, to tho extent that It does not represent assessments made agrainst local benefit?. Since the first tax under the New York State personal income tax law will be paid subsequent to January, 1920, such tax will not be deductible until next year. Amounts paid for automobile licenses ore considered taxes within the meaning; of the Federal law. A war tax included in the price of an automobile ia not deductible by the pur? chaser. Under the Federal law, contributions made within the taxable year to corporations,: < rgranized and operated exclusively for re? ligious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals (and no part of the net enrninKB of which inure to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual), or to the special fund created by the vocational rehabilitation act, are allowable deductions to an amount not in excess of 15 per cent ! of the taxpayer's net income, as computed without a benefit of such deductions. If the organizations which you have named satisfy the requirements of the law, the contribu? tions made to them are deductible. A taxpayer is required to state In hi. return the name and address of each cor po ration to which contributions were made, and the amount paid to each. Q.?C. II. L. : Please advise in the matter of paying a Federal income tax with tin facts as follows: I was in military service five month* during the year of 1010. During that time I left my business in charge of a junior brother and sister, my brother taking my place at the head of the family. After taking inventory the net profit ex? ceeds $2,000. Neither I, my brother nor lis? ter drew a weekly salary so as to help finance the business. If 1 deduct the amount of the salaries due, the profit is lens than !>2,000. Do 1 have to make a return": If 80, what form do I use and where do I obtain samel A.?Unless you keep your books on an accrual bass, salaries are deductible only when paid or credited to an employee's ac? count, and thereby made available to him. If you are the sole owner of the business to which you refer, or if your share of the profits exceeds $2,000, if you were married ;>nd living: with your wife n December 31, 1019; or are in excess of $1.000 if unmar? ried, or married and nrrt livinp; with your wife on that date, you are required to file a return. If your net income is more than $5,000 you should file Form 1010, otherwise 1010-A. The forms may be obtained from the col? lector of internal revenue for your district. Q.?J. A. M.: In making report for Fed? eral income tax of the sale of property (a dwelling) the form, apparently calls for adding depreciation to the sale pr.ee, thus apparently increasing the profit, on the sale, when, as a matter of fact, such d?pr?cia? tion has been made good by ac.ual repairs since property was purchased by me, my actual profit being decreased by the extent of the cost, of these repairs instead of in? creased. Do not such expenditures for re? pairs offst t the item "depreciat-on subse? quently attained"! Do they not belong under the item of "improvements"'! . A.?For the purpose of determining; profi* or loss from the bpIo of the pr> perty. if the repairs which you have made are in the nature of improvements or betterments and offset depreciation, the cost thereof, as shown in Block "D," Column C, of Forir 1040. may be added to the oriprina! cost or fair market value as of March 1, 191?,. if ; "cquircd prior thereto, bs shown in Block 'Red' Deportations Breed Radicals, Writer Declares Conspiracy Can Only Be .De? stroyed by Freedom of Speech; Explains How England Solves Problem Deportation of radicals and similar repressive methods breed revolutionists, ; Arthur Gleason declared yesterday in an j address on "Industrial Reconstruction | in England" before the Ethical Culture j Society. Great Britain had no revolu | tionary party, he went on, because it had abstained from such measures, re | lying on the sound sense of its people. j "If England had used deportation or I other methods of repression," Mr. ! Gleason said, "they would have devel ' oped a revolutionary party. Conspiracy, I which implies in its very name a whis ? pering in dark places, can only be de | Btroyed by freedom of speech. The ? spirit of violence, is created by deporta j tions and jail sentences, and the Brit i ish government has relied on the judg? ment and sense of humor of the people rather than upon the force of the law in the adjustment of the social unrest." Mr. Gleason, a writer, has just re | turned to this country after an ab i sence of five years, during which he ; fccrved with distinction in the Belgian j and French armies. He said the peo? ple of England are now convinced the ? World War did not accomplish the pur | poses for which it was fought, as it ! lias not ended all war nor given the j world a better England or a better Europe. The English people, who have been convinced of the futility of the violence of war, he continued, are equally cer I tain of its inefficacy in the solution of the problems of reconstruction, and can? not understand the reports of deporta? tions and denials of the right of rep? resentation that come to them from the United States. "There are four reasons why there is no revolutionary party in England." Mr. Gleason said. "First, because every one is allowed to say what he wishes; second, because all meetings, no matter how radical, are allowed by the gov? ernment; third, because leaders with advanced ideas are put in the most responsible positions; and, fourth, be? cause it is granted that the right of the Opposition is equal to that of the gov? ernment. "In England to-day all the political parties are crumbling away, and until rew parties can be formed government will be by groups. Mr. Lloyd George probably will remain in control of these groups for several years because of his skill in this sort of government. His skill is very like that required to cross a river full of cakes of floating ice? ene must be able to jump quickly and lightly from one cake to another." Federation to Start Drive $450,000 Is Goal in Campaign of Jewish Societies Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, announced yes? terday that beginning to-day, the or? ganization would begin a campaign to raise $450,000 by March 1. "Need for this fund is brought about," Mr. Warburg said, "by the great increase in the cost of living and the urgent necessity of granting in? creased remuneration to the trained workers and executives in the hos? pitals, the orphan asylums, the schools and other institutions conducted by the Federation. "Unless the money can be raised immediately to meet the just demands upon us for increased salaries, we will lose the men and women whose serv? ices are most necessary to the work." "D," Column B.

S. : I am a married man, resi ! tient of New York State and receiving a ? salary of $1,800. My wife is a school , teacher and cam* $1,500. Upon what amount am I taxed? i A.?A married couple are entitled to n i personal exemption of $2,000 against their i rrggregate net income in case they make a I joint return. If they make separate returns i the $2.000 exemption may be taken by ] either ono or divided between them. Q.?"Mac": (1) Does the term "official" ' include anti employee of the United States ! anit doe.? it also include a soldier? (2) // the entire salary received from the ' United States is exempt how much personal exemption is an employee of the United States entitled to on income received from other sources? A.--(l) Ycb. (2) The salary which nn employee re ; ceives from the United States government j goes to use up his personal exemption. If for example a man receives $1,800 from the United States government and receives $3,000 income from other sources and he is a married man, he would be entitled to an exemption of $2,000, but since $1.800 is i used up by his Federal pay he would only j be entitled to deduct $200 from his other j net income. The law provides that a man i :s not required to make a return if single unless he has net income of $1,000 or more, and if married, net income of $2,000 or ! more. Therefore if a man received ?$."),000 from the United States government and had other net income of $91*0 he would not , be required to file a return and pay a tax. Bennett to Seek ace in 6Big F Of Republicans Place in 6Big Four' Former State Senator, Head of Johnson Club, Is Candidate for Delegate at - Large to Chicago Former State Senator William M. Bennett yesterday announced ho ex? pected to be a candidate for delegate at-large to tho Republican National Convention. Mr. Bennett declared himself for United States Senator Hiram John? son some time ago, and is president of the Johnson Club in the City of New York. Senator Bennett said: "The time has come for the Repub? licans to nominate a candidate for President who can win. That man is Hiram Johnson. "The disastrous policy pursued by the party leaders in 1912, and again in 1S?16, in nominating candidates who did not meet with the approval of the peoole hag been very expensive to the country. This policy resulted in the election of the Democratic ticket. This so-called Democratic Administration, nowever, has been purely a Socialistic administration, and has been the most extravagant and lawless administration the country has ever had. Personal liberty has practically disappeared. It has been an administration of men and personal whim and not of laws. "The time has come when tho people 1 of this country desire, above all thirgs, a return to a rule of law where they I will be permitted to carry on legitirr?.:e j business without interference from n. compctont officeholders. The people are i tired of working hard to earn money | and pay enormous taxes simply to have ?a Socialistic government spend it in j keeping up a tremendous army of use? less office-holders, whose efforts simply increase and do not decrease the high j cost of living. For that reason the people are determined to demand that the Republicans should put up a candi? date who can win. "Hiram Johnson can win. The en? thusiasm with which his picture is re? ceived in the theaters and the en? thusiasm for him of the man of the street shows this. "I shall be a candidate at the April 6 state-wide primary for the position of delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention. I expect to be | elected and shall cast my vote in the ' convention for Hiram Johrison."

U.S. Food for War Victims Is Piling Up in Hamburg - , Plana for Relief of the Needy in Poland, Czecho? slovakia, Austria and Ger-i many Nearing Completion j __ I BERLIN, Feb. 8?The plans of Her- , bert Hoover for alleviating some of tho suffering in Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, ? Austria and Germany are nearing com? pletion with the constant arrival of ships at Hamburg bearing condensed milk, beans and bacon, and for Jewish beneficiaries cottonseed oil instead of bacon. The food is being piled in tho Hamburg storehouses, and when all of it has arrived careful distribution to \ avoid illicit trade will be begun. Major Goldsmith, agent of the Amer? ican food relief, who has been super? intending the operations at Hamburg, has returned to Berlin to take control of transportation of the foodstuffs, being succeeded at Hamburg by Francis C. Wickes, formerly of the American Relief Commission in Belgium. Czecho-Slovakia will be Supplied di- ! rect by the Elbe River from Hamburg to Aussig. This route is slower but i safer, in view of the numerous rail? road robberies in Germany and the ; crippled condition of railway traffic. ? Food for Austria and Hungary will be I sent in guarded tains to Ratisbon, where it will be transferred to barges for transportation down the Danube. ' The sea route from the United States will keep Danzig and Poland supplied.
