STATEMENT ISSUED BY
COLLECTOR OF REVENUE
"Important changes in income
tax procedure directed by Commis
sioner David H. Blair are embodied
in a treasury decision effective De
cember 16, 1921, which provides
for the prompt adjustment of claimg
for refund and abatement of federal
taxes.
"Heretofore when an overassess
ment or an overpayment was dis
closed by the audit of an income
tax return, the taxpayer was invit
ed to file a claim for the abatement
of the overassessment, or the refund
of the overpayment. When received
the claim was reg«tered and filed
awtay until reached in due course
for consideration. Because of the
large number of such claims filed,
delay In adjustment necessarly re
sulted.
"After December 15th taxpayers
will not be advised of their privi
lege of filing a claim for the re
fund of taxes whch have been paid
in excess of amounts legally due,
but instead will receive a certificate
of overassessment and a check in
correction of the errors, or if an as
sessment is overpaid against the
taxpayer for income or excess prof
its tax, the overpayment will be ap
plied as a credit against the assess
ment and the balance Immediately
refunded. This will be of distinct
financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the government. It
will- do away with the necessity for
the taxpayer filing a claim for re
fund and will greatly reduce the
amount of work to be done by the
bureau in adjustment of claims.
"Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund
but it is expected that the number
of such claims filed each month
will be greatly reduced. Efforts are
now being made by the bureau to
adjust within six months all claims
now pending and the reason is to
keep the work current.
"The Revenue act of 1921 pro
vides that under certain conditions
interes shall be paid upon claims
from the date of the payment of
the tax to the date of the allowance
of the claim. The new procedure
should greatly reduce the amount of
interest which the government must
of necessity pay upon the claims for
refund."

PSEUDO SECRET SERVICE MAN
TRAILED BY SUPPOSED CON
FEDERATE AND NABBED
Singular Story of Plots and Counter
plots Revealed. Suspect Trailed
All Over World and Finally
Caught In Russia
Warsaw.—.Plots and counterplots,
reading like n chapter front fiction,
were iiAolved In the search for clews
In many parts of Europe by American
secret service agents which resulted
in the arrest here Saturday of Wolfe
Lindenfeld, alias William Linde, In
connection with the Wall street bomb
explosion in New York In September,
1020. Llndenfeld has fully confessed
the authorities aay, naming the ring
leaders In the plot which, he declared,
was aimed at J. P. Morgan, the lntfer
nnl machine exploding prematurely.
According to Sylvester Ooagrove and
Paul Altendorf, who trailed Llndenfeld
the suspect has named five principals
in the plot, now In Europe, who re
ceived $30,000 from the Moscow Third
Internationale through New York com
munists. Llndenfeld has declared his
willingness to return to New York as
soon as ossible and turn state's evi
dence. The Polish authorities say he
was exposed in 1000 as a Russian sec
ret ngent and fled to America at that
time, returning to Europe last spring.
Altendorf came to Europe in Febru
ary last, while Llndenfeld came *>ver
In March. During the summer Alten
dorf, living In various communistic
centers, obtained n clow which led him
to seek Llndenfeld's acquaintance. As
a result, Cosgrove arrived In Warsaw
two months ago, posing ns having con
nections with communist groups In
America, and was Introduced to Lin
denfeld by Altendorf, After estab
lishing his acquaintance, Cosgrove sug
gested to Llndenfeld a scheme whereby
by giving Information In regard to the
Wall street explosion, he could receive
a large share of the rewards offered
for the arrest of the plotters, without
risk to himself.
Polish operatives shadowed Linden
field and the Pole«claim that while Lln
denfleld was prelending to play to Cos
grove's hands he was at the same time
double crossing the Americans, ('lews
developed while trailing Llndenfeld led
the police agents to arrest a number
of communists who are alleged to be
spies working .against the interests of
Poland.
