BILLS PLAN TO
CURB PACKERS
Kendricks - Kenyon Measures
Will Be Pushed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2..—The pack
ing industry of the United States le
placed on practically the same footing
as public utilities by the terms of the
combined Kendrlck-Kenyon control bills
reported to the senate from the senate
agricultural committee, members of tbe
committee said today in speaking of
their plans to push the measure through
congress.
The bill would establish a Hceuse sys
tem to control the packing Industry and
it Is placed under rigid government reg
ulations. almost as complete as the reg
ulations governing the railroads under
the interstate commerce commission,
members said.
“We did not feel that the packing in
dustry could be governed by agreement
with the packers,” Senator Kenyon of
lowa declared.
“The bill prescribes a definite plan
under which all brauches of tbe packing
industry shall be governed.”
It is tbe plan of Seuator Gronft, chair
man of the agriculture eommitteee, to
ask action on tbe measure as soon as the
senate calendar Is cleared of pending
legislation. The peace treaty will pre
vent immediate consideration.
INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
A frequent claim for deduction is made
for loans to* relatives and friends.
Before a debt can be deducted Its
character as a true debt must be proved.
Questions such as this reach collectors:
’ If I advanced a sum to assist a needy
friend or relative, having at the time
little or no reason to expect that it
would be returned, may I claim a de
duction to cover such advance?” The
answer is "No." Such an advance is
regarded as a gift, and Is not held to
be a bona-fide debt.
A valid debt which Is proved to be
worthless is not always a proper deduc
tion. Treasury regulations provide that
worthless debts arising from unpaid
i wages, salaries, rentals, and similar
j items of income will not be allowed as
, a deduction unless the Income such Items
i represent has been included in the
j creditor's return for the year In which
I ihe deduction It fought, or in a previous
j jear.
\S here the' creditor continues to extend
! credit to the debtor, a debt may not
iie claimed ns worthless. A debt maj
not He charged off and deducted In part,
but must be wholly and entirely worth
less before any part may be deducted,
though it may be clearly worth leas
tnan the face amount. If a debt Is for
given it can not be claimed as a de
duction, because it is then regarded as
a gift, which is not an allowable de
duction.
The changes wrought during 1919 by
births, deaths and marriages In many
families materially affect the liability of
members for Income tax. Millions of
babies have b<>cn added to the faintly
circles, each of whom brings an addeu
exemption of S2OO on tbe parents' In
come tax return.
On the other hand, several millions
of boys and girls became self-support
ing and they form anew crop of In
come tax payer*. Also, the grim reaper
brought Its many sorrows and removed
many dependents' and many of the bread
winners themselves.
Accordingly, :t is pointed out by in
ternal revenue officials, there are mil
lions of persons who must this year
i onslder their income tax liability front
u new angle. For their new status as
of Dec. 31, 1919. govern* for the full
year.
Widows and widowers who lost their
mates during 1919 are especially af
fected. They most remember that, un
less married again before Dec. 31, they
are single In the eyes of Income tax
1.-sw. Similarly, those who were divorced
or otherwise separated from their wives
or husband* must consider themselves
us single persons.
But a widow is not required to show
on her personal return the Income of
her husband up to the date of his death;
and the same Is true In the case of a
widower who suffered the loss of his
wife during 1919. For the Income of
deceased persons must be considered
separately with respect to requirement
to file a return for the deceased by the
executor of administrator. And the de
ceased Is entitled to exemption for Ihe
full year based upon tils status at date
of death
The bride and groom of 1919 mnsl
figure up the itiroroe of each for the ;
full year and con lder It Jo'ntly with
respect to Income tax requirement*, even
though they may not have been ac
quainted during part of the year Their
status on Dec 31 Joins them for a full i
year.
The internal revenue bureau points out
that a person's status on Dec. 3J gov
earns two things: First, tile require
ment to file a return if the single Indi
vidual bad a net Income of Si,ooo or
more, or if the married couple had n
net Income of .<2!KK> or more; second,
the exemption that may be claimed on t
iti y iciii , nos net income.
And It l< emphasized that the require
ment to tile n return has no relation to
the personal exemption, and that a per
•mi can not avoid filing a return merely
by tbe fact that no tax Is due.

The low offerings of Cauadlan oats

I Trade reviews for last week report
I somewhat unsettled state of affairs in
commercial and industrial lines, with re-
I sultant contraction in business activities
j which is making impression on credit bit
uation.
I Stock letter by wire Saturday from
| New York said: “Rails were prominent
In today's small market, but industrials
were not neglected. For a time after the
opening it looked as if the market would
drift, but a good character of buying
developed In rails and stimulated the en
tire list. The action of rails seemed
to be a reflection of confidence in to-
I day's vote by congress. If realized,
! it will bring us one step nearer to the
| solution of this problem. Stabilizing of
| onr principal industry will mean much
|to many of our industrials. Steel com
panies, equipment companies, building,
i etv., will all feel the impetus. The vol
ume today was small in keeping with the
Saturday spirit. There seems to be uo
abatement in underlying confidence. The
market Is emerging slowly from the
depths of despair so prevalent recently.
Profit-taking at the end gave the market
a ragged and a rather uncertain close.”

There was practically no change In
price of hogs on the ope.ning day this
week, as compared with the irregular
sales at the close last week and the
schedule generally observed was 25c
higher than last BTlday’s list. This pro
vided that the hogs averaging 300
pounds up should sell at $13.75, those
averaging down to 275 pounds at $14.25,
on down to 200 pounds at sls, and the
lighter kinds at $15.25. However, there
were several loads of selected light hogs
at $15.50. The top price for pigs, sls,
was paid, feeders and others were steady
from $14.75 down. There was a strong
market for sows, with sales at sl3 down.
There was not a complete clearance of
the supply of more than 7,000 hogs. In
cluding 700 over from Saturday.
Cattle.
As near as could be determined by
a great variety of estimates there waa
little or no change in the cattle market,
as compared with the closing market last
week. Salesmen were inclined to ipiote
prices lower, but buyers were sure that
most of the stock suitable for slaughter
sold steady. There were only 1,100 cat
tle on sale and there was an early clear
ance at prevailing prices. Calves were
steady at S2O down, and there was a
continued light demand for feediug
cattle.
(Sheep.
In the receipts of fewer than 300 sheep
and lambs there were more than 100
western fed lambs, that sold at sl9, and
they were considered steady, bnl were
not heavy enough to bring a top
Sheep from $9.50 down were steady.

FARMERS USE

AdMeas^JjOjOOO^faranei^LinMiie^United
States own motor
use on their farms'" This*!* shown by
a preliminary survey of the ownership
and use of motor trucks by farmers
undertaken by the bureau of crop es
timates. The data secured by this in
quiry answer many questions which have
been asked repeatedly in recent years re
garding the extent to which motor
vehicles are used for farm hauling.
The figures on which totals for the
cation and the states are based were se
cured from approximately 35,000 selected
crop reporters of the bureau of crop es
timates. These co-operators were asked
to report the names and addresses of
farmers they knew who own motor trucks
for farm use.
REPORT DOES NOT
SHOW PLEASURE CARS.
Pleasure cars and trailers for use with
pleasure cars were excluded, and the re
porters were asked not to take account of
trucks which are used primarily for gen
eral custom hauling, or on regularly es
tablished routes.
This survey can scarcely be considered
a complete census, b:'.t it is certain that
a very large per cent have been listed.
It Is believed that in no state were less
than 75 per “ent of the trucks reported, j
If not complete in every respect the !
figures show the relative distribution
very satisfactorily.

OFTEN DARED OFFICERS
RT. PAUL, Feb. 21.—Chief of Tolies
J\ J. O'Connor declares he has solved the
mystery of the identity of Gordan Faw
cett Hanb.v. the master thief, who died
in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison
recently. O'Connor declares his teal
name is Gordon Fau’cett Hanby, but h
: was known in the criminal world as Jay
j Allen.
Before he died, O'Connor soys, Hanby
gave the clev/ to his identity by tell
ing some of the prison authorities O'Con
nor knew all about him, and that of
ficial, now fully satisfied that he has
traced the life of the mysterious man,
gave out the details of a careful in
quiry he has been making for years.
O'Connor got on the trail after the
robbery of the Western State bank of
Rt. Paul, Dec. 9, 1915, and his detectives
were close to an arrest when ilaubv
gave himself up in Tacomn, Wash., to
be taken to New York and pay the pen
■ nlty for tbe Brooklyn robbery and
killing.
SPENT BOYHOOD
IN WINNIPEG.
Hanby’s boyhood was spent with his
uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George
Hanby, 88 Cathedral avenue, Winnipeg,
Man. He was employed for several
months by the Ross Navigation Com
pany of the Pas. and Just befbre leav
ing tbe company told Capt. Ross that he
would like to “pull off” a big bank rub
bery.
He left later so live with his father.
John Hanby, at a rooming bouse nt
*M7 Windsor avenue, Chicago, where lie
met his brother Frank, who was well
known In Chicago police c’rcles as a
crook and gambler.
Os Hanbv’s mother little Is known.
Tbe only time she was ever referred
to by Hanby or was mentioned in his
correspondence was In a letter received
nt the Radisson hotel while Hanby was
there after the Western State bank rob
bery from the Pas.
It was signed “Mother,” but It Is tbe
belief of the police that It came from a
girl. whom, a photographed copy of a
hotel register from the Pas shows, was
with him there as his wife some months
before. It was through a letter written
to her In which Hanby said he was going
into the aviation school In Chicago that
the chase led there.
Captain of Detectives George W. Wells,
through a friend who acted as “cover”
man In Chicago, was able to get valu
able information concerning Hanby.
ONE BIUITlIKIt'”^
KNOWN AS GAMBLER.
It was found that John Hanby, the
father, worked as a solicitor and ob
tained advertisements for programs and
that the older brother, Frank, was a
gambler.
In tho meantime. Chief O’Connor by
Dec. 15. in addition to the information
from Canada, furnished the Chicago po
lice with the following information con
cerning Hanby which shows how care
fully and how detailed had been the In
vestigation.
"Jay Alien- left for Chicago from
Owantonna. Minn., at 6 p. m.. Dec. 10.
He had a black leather traveling bag, a
new black derby hat. size 7; two new
